Um, yeah most people (edit: most people outside America) know Faux News is a load of rubbish. Yet another organisation created by Republicans and sympathisers to push their agenda and spread propaganda.

Seriously, it's amazing how much propaganda the Rethuglicans churn out. It's disturbing not least of all because half of it is designed to cater to the religious nutjobs.

I mean they pretty much created the entire ideas of the 'liberal media elite' and 'media conspiracy' themselves and pushed it onto their followers so that they had a base with which to drill the idea into for the next for decades. The irony is that the most biased major news site is actually Fox, and what they claim is 'liberal media bias' is what we call 'checking the facts', 'listening to both sides', or simply 'telling the truth'.

There's a good analysis of it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-green/em7-days-in-americaem-lak_b_138025.html

youbrokemylife, are you serious nos 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremist community? 88 is supposed to be a very lucky number for Chinese, as 8 means prosperous, and repeated TWICE (as in two times) since two means easy. 14 is an unlucky number for Chinese though as four sounds like death. So 8814--easy prospects of dying :s whatever I'm just crapping shit.

Blessed are the liberals, for they are pure of heart. The people see that their sanctity is self-evident and they are o'erwhelmed. Their cups runneth over.

You don't need to be pure of heart or especially noble to be above modern-day Republicans, Iron. :)

What'd they do now?

88 = hh = Heil Hitler

14 = Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth.

kkkkkkkkk

Edit: srz lol at Fox News. Barack Osama, Barack HUSSEIN Osama, Barack Jihad. Isn't it true that Barack Obama is a TERRORIST?

Who actually watches fox, though?

EDIT: Double lol at people posting "Wait this just in Fox news is biased I learned it during year 12 omg, I really thought Barack Osama Jihad was a terrorist until some overpaid piece of shit english teacher force fed me nonsense that he's too stupid to understand omg and did you know that sometimes media says things that aren't *objectively* true omg"

It's pretty bad man. I watch Bill O'Reilly on occaision for laughs. The degree of bias he displays is almost unparalleled.

Don't know if this has been discussed in over 1700 posts on this topic, but apparently some people in USA are alleging that Dr. Obama is not a natural-born citizen of USA (a constitutional requirement for the president) and contesting his eligibility as a presidential candidate in the Court. Guess some people never give up! And surprisingly, some people supporting Captain McCain appears to pin their hope on that.

It is interesting to note that Captain McCain had to go through a similar scrutiny regarding his citizenship, because he was born in Panama Canal zone, the region whose sovereignity was (nominally at least) retained by Panama, though administered by USA. But the Court ruled threw that out of the sight.

Basically Hillary will be sworn in by default.
She has anticipated this. She sniffed the blood in the water long ago
She is watching from the wings
and waiting

Silent black eyes, always scheming, scanning weaknesses, flashing teeth. Circling.
In the dark
waiting to come out

DONT U OPEN THA TRAP DOOR,
UR A FOOL IF U DARE
STAY AWAY FOM THA TRAP DAAW
CAUSE THERE'S SOMEPIN DOWN THER
And it's ready on day one with solutions
