Who Dugg It?

db0255, on 04/22/2008, -39/+411....one word: wow. I love how Obama takes all that ***** in stride, and just keeps going. It doesn't phase him one bit, which is why most people think he'd be a great president...
- Charlesbian, on 04/22/2008, -10/+48thats the thing, they are making him stronger and exposing themselves as puppets. the american public isn't as stupid as they think, at least the ones who dont take fox news seriously
  - pegisys, on 04/22/2008, -3/+27Well some of them are and they are falling for such things.
    - Charlotte_Web, on 04/22/2008, -25/+12ARTICLE BURIED AS INACCURATE.
      
      BraveNewFilms is nothing but pure propaganda. A bunch of out of context sound bites strung together. Most of them are Republicans being interviewed! How is Fox responsible for that?!?
      
      Christine O'Donnell, who opened the clip with the quote in the headline, is a Republican Strategist who has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CNBC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC, and has written for the USA Today. Oh, but we want to smear Fox News, so we'll set this segment up as if Fox News issued a press release saying that Obama is anti-American!
      
      Fox interviews Democrats and Democrat Strategists all the time, so both sides get a voice... isn't that what you want a news organization to be doing?
      - Solis, on 04/22/2008, -15/+8Buried for being an inaccurate *****.
        
        Sources cited: Your above post.
      - Charlotte_Web, on 04/22/2008, -12/+11Why don't you address the content of my post rather than engage in juvenile name-calling?
        
        Please, illuminate us with your great wisdom as to which part of my post is wrong.
      - Patrikimo, on 04/22/2008, -9/+6I dugg you up as it was an interesting point. If you think that Fox gives dems equal air time or that Fox objectively reviews the comments those people make without bias you are wrong. I have seen them cut short the democratic interviewee, I have seen them pile on the democrat, I have seen all sorts of biased crap happen on Fox.
      - OfNumbers, on 04/22/2008, -5/+5"BraveNewFilms is nothing but pure propaganda. A bunch of out of context sound bites strung together. Most of them are Republicans being interviewed! How is Fox responsible for that?!?" Gee, it's crazy how you got that flip out of something proving Fox is guilty of sound-byte clipping, by showing their sound-byte clipping, and you turn it around on them as if they are heinous liars there to misinform everyone about righteous little Fox.
    - xenoc1de, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4Yep, America is very easily convinced of unbelievable notions, such as 40% of America believing evolution is a lie.
  - jdotter, on 04/22/2008, -2/+14That's what everyone thought in '04. Remember when Kerry was up big late in the campaign? The majority of Americans aren't really paying attention yet, and when they do start paying attention it will be in the final hours of this marathon campaign and hot button, emotion driven issues work, and they are what the Republicans do best. Remember, the Rev. Wright thing came up last year in Iowa, they got beyond it but those aren't your average voters that participate in the Iowa caucuses, they are used to scrutinizing and really getting to know the candidate and their issues. The majority of Americans still watch TV for "news." The Primary season is not the best indicator of voter intelligence or voter trends. If the last 10 years are any indicator, this election, like those, will not be about the issues. It will be about perception, mobilization and activism by one party or the other. That being said, Obama faired pretty well considering the way he was sandbagged during those first 45 min or so. Did it knock him off his game? Like anyone who is outnumbered in a fight he struggled a bit but pulled through in the end. Sorry, but George Stephanopoulos should never have been involved in that debate given his relationship to the Clintons.
    - omnis, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Agreed, but that was ABC, not Fox. But I understand your points, so no more scrutiny here.
  - 032483, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4I hate to break it to ya but they really, really are.
  - dafunkmonster, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Puppets of whom? Did it ever occur to you that someone just might be politically conservative of their own accord?
  - 33PercentGod, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Old people love Fox News.
    
    They will be dead soon anyway so.
    
    Hoveround! Now i'm free to see the world!
- IslandDog, on 04/22/2008, -36/+13It is hurting him, that is one reason he did so poorly in the debate.
  - jezsik, on 04/22/2008, -4/+26Debate? Debate? Surely you mean the the ABC let's-try-to-be-controversial-no-matter-how-foolish-we-look-o'thon?
  - marmanukem, on 04/22/2008, -2/+25You seriously would call that a debate? It was a poorly conceived smear job by an obviously biased news outlet. That was no debate.
  - Patrikimo, on 04/22/2008, -2/+4You shouldn't be digging that guy down he's right. The ABC debate the other night was Obama's worst performance to date. Mind you, the debate was horribly done and if not biased, at least lacking much substance. I am still hoping for a win (close loss) for Obama today though.
  - MonexFRAUD, on 09/26/2008, -0/+0You should probably think about investing in gold and silver in these troubled times. Gold and silver can be a good hedge against economic volatility as long as you're not doing a leveraged trade. http://www.monexfraud.com/investment-strategies/bu ... You may wish to invest in the gold ETF (GLD) or the silver ETF (SLV) in a non-margin account. This is the least expensive way to invest. If you feel a need to to take delivery of your metals be extra cautious about who you buy from. Check the Better Business Bureau for complaints, ratings, and adviseries. Also check RipoffReport.com for complaints and read how or if they were handled. At http://www.monexfraud.com all the information you need about Monex Deposit Company is conveniently gathered in one place.

- horatiolust, on 04/22/2008, -45/+9Obama-wan's (Help me Obama-wan. You're my only hope) would continue to support him even if he were live on the evening news having sex with a sheep in Macy's window on 5th Ave. Their attitude is "as long as the sheep consented..."
  - BrewBeau, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5That's obviously how the media is reacting with their TMZ-style attacks becoming more shrill as Hillary runs out of time and delegates.
  - Ganpachi, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1..... wait. Did it?
  - RedReplicant, on 04/22/2008, -2/+4I only wish I could digg you down further for attempting to make up another god damn name "pun." And a pathetic one, at that.

- fatrandy13, on 04/22/2008, -18/+26by that logic, george bush should be a great president too.... everytime i see the guy on tv, hes always got a little smirk on his face, he seems to be "taking all that ***** in stride"
  
  boo to you and everyone who dugg your comment...
  - knumbknuts, on 04/22/2008, -3/+5Yea, there may be more to being a good president than having a thick skin, though it helps.
  - BrewBeau, on 04/22/2008, -4/+19That's not really the same thing. People are drilling Bush on what he's done as president while Obama is getting drilled on what people he knows have done and other useless things like his flag lapel pin, etc.
    - pyronik, on 04/22/2008, -20/+6those "useless" things go to judgment, attitude, and most importantly character. Obama is not a man of good character
      - sleepwalkers, on 04/22/2008, -3/+12How many times does it have to be said? Don't say stuff like that without anything to back it up! Hollow, empty claims about character mean nothing without some proof.
      - spoons10, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1You are an idiot.
    - exronin, on 04/22/2008, -1/+10you better have your flag pin on, or you are getting kicked out of the country.
  - LeePeyton, on 04/22/2008, -5/+2Watch your comments or you'll bring forth the wrath of the OBOMABOTS!
- DEIx15x8, on 04/22/2008, -24/+6It phases him. That's why he spent a week discussing how he was "cheated" in the debate and attacking Hillary. He's as bad as every other candidate, he just has the cash necessary to pay the public off.
  - BrewBeau, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4How is he paying the public off? Smear tactics work to a certain degree and certainly when nothing else is working. Otherwise, nobody would do it. So far, there hasn't been much substance against Obama and that's how he's surviving.
    - DEIx15x8, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1"So far, there hasn't been much substance against Obama and that's how he's surviving" Could that be a clue that he might not have done enough to handle the job?

  - gobbleplex, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6He's not the one 'paying off the public,' the public is paying him. Check out how much small donor cash he receives.
- markgl, on 04/22/2008, -25/+10Oh yeah, by ignoring question about him. I want to vote for him because he never explains anything and just says, its the same political hoopla.
  - omnis, on 04/22/2008, -12/+2Sorry everyone's digging you down markgl. It just means they know you're right, but despise you for it.
  - gobbleplex, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11He has a website, you know. It has a lot of information on what he hopes to accomplish.
    - Meganiac, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8What's that you say gobble?!? People actually need to do research themselves instead of being force-fed the issues that the media stuffs down their throat?
      
      How dare you suggest that the OP has to be responsible Gobble! Why should he waste his time on becoming informed when he can just spew ignorant drivel?
      - gobbleplex, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.

    You're right, let's see if we can find someone even more evil than George Bush, so we can really mess USA up good.
    (/sarcasm)
    *gives up*
    - theaceoffire, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6I am finding that some of the strongest Anti-Obama protesters are also the most closed minded... My father and mother are strong republicans, but they feel betrayed by McCain. Yet they refuse to even listen to Obama due to him being a democrat, as if becoming a democrat makes you lower than filth...
      
      I am honestly ashamed that listening to other people is considered unpatriotic.
- jaythree9, on 04/22/2008, -3/+16word nerd here... in this context, it's not "phase" - it should be "faze". gobama!
- rpgmaker, on 04/22/2008, -6/+1I'm pro Obama but even though this is not hurting him right now it might in the General elections. It will be a different playground and when you are betting against Karl Rove you know you will have a hard time coming.
  PS: How comes that you haven't murdered a politician as shady as Karl Rove?
- exronin, on 04/22/2008, -5/+3dirt off ya' shoulda'
- RepubOperative, on 04/22/2008, -16/+5If Baracka Obama disagreed with what Rev. Jeremiah Wright was saying then why did Baracka Obama "a typical black person" give $27,500 to the church ($22,500 in 2006 and $5,000 in 2005) to Africanzied Trinty United Church run by a man of the past, the black supremacist, conspiracy theorist and racist who infects the younger generation with racial prejudice and animus and then say he came unto us to transcend racism? Sounds like Baracka Obama got caught in another big lie. Maybe you haven't heard everything that Wright said:

  - RedReplicant, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11Having come from an extremely fundamentalist background, I can easily say that our pastor said things that my family disagreed with. Sometimes the things our pastor and church stood behind could have been considered VERY anti-American (US deserved 9-11, anyone?). However, my family continued to tithe the same, large amount weekly because despite our disagreements we felt a loyalty to the church and to the things that we stood together on.
    
    Some people can just leave a church any time they have a disagreement with the leadership. For others, a church is like a family-- they may screw stuff up, but you stick with it and try to change it.
    - innocentsinner, on 04/22/2008, -0/+10Agreed. Even ignoring the over-reaction to Wright's words, tithing money to the church doesn't -necessarily- mean that one supports the pastor in particular. That money also goes toward organizing church events and other things in the community. As an atheist and someone who's even fairly anti-religion, I still have respect for a lot of the community things that churches do.
- colomboj, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1Wow your not a republican or anything!

    And #48...seriously?
    
    I never got a warning from Tom, either. Are you sure it wasn't one of those bulletins that you have to pass on so you will find true love? Dork.
  - Abomonog, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Yup! that was 50 points of stupidity. And most of which I have never heard of the original statements Obama had supposedly said. ANd who gives a ***** about #48? Real patriots don't wear flag pins on their lapels and know that you are NOT supposed to put your hand on your heart during the Nation Anthem.
    In fact a true patriot would know that our Anthem is nothing more than a British drinking song with new words and would not even expend the energy to get up for it's playing. Sheep. on the other hand....
  - KutmasteR, on 04/22/2008, -3/+0hey ***** this wasnt written by me, as it clearly says so just read it and think about it rather then reading it and reacting like some child
    - highstriker, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Um, something tells me that you were the one to write the first line. Which pretty much endorses the rest of the comment, even if you didn't write it. I read it, and I disagree with pretty much the entire thing. It actually made me a little happy to know that this is all they can come up with against the guy. A bunch of little tidbits that have essentially no real substance.
    - sallywally14, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Well usually when you write something that isn't yours you "source" it.
      Signed,
      *****
  - highstriker, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5That's ridiculous, why you ask? Because:
    1) The events in Selma started well before 1965.
    2-4) Obama has both a father and a step father. Perhaps some of those comments refer to a different person. His step father was from Argentina, though I don't know much about him.
    5) He has at least three grandmothers, by way of his mother, father, and step-father- how in the world do you know that's the one he was speaking about?
    6)Languages and words in regions around the Middle East and Africa often become mixed. Those names could easily be used by people in Africa.
    7)There can be a difference between who someone is and who they're registered as. I'm still registered as a Republican (unfortunately in my opinion- long story, but it'll be changed as soon as I get home from college this summer), but I lean towards a liberal perspective (which is pretty obvious).
    8)Your point makes no sense- at all. Because *one* student was registered as a Muslim the school couldn't possibly be predominantly Christian?
    9)Evidence? How in the world do you know he doesn't speak Indonesian? What, just because his teachers haven't said he could? Have any teachers said he could speak English? I don't think so, but he does a pretty damn good job speaking English...
    10)Living in a foreign country for one year, let alone four will definitely show a person a different type of culture. I've known lots of students who have spent time in foreign countries. One girl lived in Switzerland during the summers, and when we were at that age, you can bet she knew a hell of a lot more about foreign culture than I ever did. She still knows much more than I do.
    11)I think it's more important that he understands countries we are in conflict with. Relations with our allies are much easier to maintain- it's conflicts with Iran, and other such nations that require real understanding. Look at where Bush's lack of understanding of those countries has gotten us...
    And I'm bored. The rest of your points can easily be proven wrong as well. Though you're a fool if you think wearing a lapel pin of an American flag makes someone a patriot. That about sums up the logic used in any of these points though... Use your brain, just try it. Thinking for oneself, and even defying your government if you disagree with it is far more patriotic than just pathetic gestures to appeal to emotions and pride...
    - highstriker, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Damn, Digg wouldn't let me edit my comment- his step father is from Indonesia. My bad.
    - KutmasteR, on 04/22/2008, -2/+0most of this information came out of his own book, as far as I know. I dont see any place for an islamic in the white housee, after all we are on a crusade against it. i see barack as their wooden horse(battle of troy reference), their easy way into the top level of our country... whatever though keep on bashing me for posting from another source haha. Better try to read the above posts before you try and talk from the point of view that i was in any way the writer. I saw this, thought many of the points were interesting especially the ones related to islam, and decided to pass it on.
      - highstriker, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Have you read his book? I'd say that's a clear no. Now I haven't either, but I wouldn't take someone's word for it, at least the word of whoever it was that wrote this, who probably didn't spend much time, if any, reading the man's book either.
        And I'm not on a crusade against Islam. At least he's acknowledged the fact that religion has no place in government, be it Islam, Mormonism, Christianity, or *any* other religion. McCain can't say that, and Hillary hasn't said anything of the sort either...
        Also- as I said above, your first line in the comment endorses every single point that follows, so- while you didn't write it yourself, you still agree with the points made.
- dafunkmonster, on 04/22/2008, -7/+1I disagree. We want a president who is in touch with the concerns and criticisms of the people. By ignoring criticism and "taking it in stride", he's essentially saying he doesn't give a ***** how he comes off or what people think of his policy, because he's not gonna change. I predict that whoever winds the democratic nomination will lose the general election. Neither candidate has proposed plans to encourage a turnaround in the economy or housing markets, and both candidates are stubborn enough that if by september, Iraq is booming with happiness and economic prosperity, both candidates would argue that its still a mess and a mistake and we should bring our troops home to avoid further loss of American lives.

  As for this ridiculous video claiming FOX News is against Obama...These were GUESTS on SHOWS making the statements, not FOX News. And for every guest that takes one point of view, they have another right there to speak (Of course, that's been conveniently edited out here)
  - DarthNowitzki, on 04/22/2008, -6/+7You say it like being a socialist lefty is a bad thing.
  - rpgmaker, on 04/22/2008, -1/+3They are always the same "guests" can you guess why?
  - jax1492, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3maybe fox news should pick the guests better, or maybe they know full well of what they are doing.
  - Meganiac, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Socialism is bad?! You should hurry up and let the Swedes know about that! Quickly before their socialist government which has been thriving for a long time collapses upon itself!
    
    Won't somebody think of the poor Swedes with their great medical coverage, paid college, etc! How can you let them suffer so while you wallow blissfully in your Corporate republic? If you won't set them free with the words of truthiness, then who will save them?
    - onefatfrog, on 04/22/2008, -3/+2If you love socialism so much, then please move to a socialist country! I am an American and I happen to prefer freedom! This is what pisses me off so much about liberals, they are forever trying to make this country socialist. DON'T CHANGE MY HOME, CHANGE YOURS! America was founded on the principles of freedom, and it must stay that way, there is nothing requiring you to stay here. This isn't supposed to be the country that is for everybody like you are trying to make it, it is supposed to be the country for people who want this life. Please move to Sweden, I am begging you.
      - Meganiac, on 04/23/2008, -1/+0Do you even understand what a socialist government is? It is a distribution of wealth that is subject to control by the community. This does not mean that people steal your stuff and give it to others. Instead it is generally accomplished by taxes! You know those same things that we here in the US do. Granted taxes are generally higher in a socialist country, but that is offset by things such as education, medical coverage, housing subsidies, etc.
        
        This not being your preferred societal structure does not in any way, shape, or form, affect freedom. They are free to become wealthy, to spend their money in the way they see fit, and their liberties are voraciously defended, on occasion to the extremes. In fact they have more freedoms than we do as a country (especially after being ravaged by the current administration and the spineless congress).
        
        Lastly, you try to accuse me of trying to change MY HOME (as surely as it is yours) to socialism, and I have not once advocated doing so. For one, I don't believe socialism would function half so well in as large a nation as we live in. For two, Sweden does not provide services to unlawful immigrants, which helps keep down prices of said services. Currently in my state illegal immigrants are afforded state-provided services that most citizens are not eligible to receive, so I do not see how the socialist model of Sweden could affectively be implemented here in any affordable manner. I love the state that I live in, I love the people that live here, and I find the state's current politics well enough to my liking. So I do not feel that your complete ignorance regarding the subject of socialism liberties and freedom ( nor your lack of reading comprehension to understand that my original response was merely to show that Socialism != bad, or even something that Obama represents for that matter) necessitates that I emigrate to Sweden.
    - fmaxwell, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Freedom is no more the opposite of socialism than singing is the opposite of bananas.
      
      U.S. veterans and senior citizens who enjoy socialized medicine through the VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid do not have less freedom than those of us who pay for private insurance -- or cannot afford any insurance at all. People in Sweden and veterans in the U.S. who go to college on the taxpayer's dime are not somehow less "free" than inner city kids who can't afford college, suburban kids who have to take out student loans, or rich kids who have mommy and daddy pay for college.
      
      I don't think it's "freedom" that you love. It's massive corporations. It's taking the safety net away from those less fortunate so that you horde more of your income (because, as we all know, you having an extra $50 per week outweighs providing adequate medical insurance for millions of poor children).

- badenglishihave, on 04/22/2008, -2/+2What they should have said is that Obama is so far to the left that he is pretty much a socialist (as is Hillary!)... socialism is contrary to American principles of free market capitalism which encourages minimal governmental intervention. Don't believe Obama is a socialist? Just look at their stances on government programs and government health care. Heck, even Bush is somewhat of a socialist with the programs he's been adding.
  
  However, even so, that in no way means he's un-American. Dumb FOX...

There no diversity of opinion because most people on Digg don't take the time to think for themselves. Stop being a bunch of lemmings.

It's about giving the developing world an example and giving little children something to look up to so that they can one day grow up to help change the world for the better.
  
  Because of Fox News. Because of Rupert Murdoch. Because of the Bush Administration. Because of the overwhelming rates of poverty and unemployment. Because of the slander, the petty arguments and infighting, and the continual bullsh-tting and the denial of the certified scientific and ethical facts... America's image has been turned into that of a ravenous, illogical theocracy. If I didn't believe in the Constitution, I'd say just throw all of them in jail for trying to destroy this entire nation.

- Waiting2awake, on 04/22/2008, -8/+6 I know I'll probably be dugg down for this - but - Beware.
  
  Beware of a new face on an old monster. Understand the system is so huge, so large, so powerful. Think of what these people are willing to do to keep the system-quo. Think of the wars they started, the laws they broke, the people they killed. Then watch Obama walking and talking against it all - and watch him continue to walk and talk - but not die.
  
  If he was truly the risk to these people that he/they are making it out to be - he'd be killed like anyone else that threatens their system.
  
  I hope he is what he says he is - but....
  - consoneo, on 04/22/2008, -2/+2Unfortunately, I do believe that he has a high chance of assassination, and it sickens me... that people are so ***** worthless as to commit such an atrocity. I am disgusted with a lot of America.
    - Waiting2awake, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3 Maybe - but you seem to be of the side that it would be from some gun totting, redneck. Would that be fair to say?
      
      I am more that the system itself, and those that benefit from the system would be the more likely suspects. IF, and this is my concern, if he is really what he says he is. If he isn't, and this is just another dog and pony show in a long line of dog and pony shows, then America is just being set up for the final shot. Remember how demoralized the true believers that thought sending the democratic congress in when it become obvious that they too - despite all the words, slogans and promises - were exactly as the republicans. Imagine if that happened here?
      
      How demoralized would the people be if - and this is just an if - if Obama is just like all other politicians?
      - omnis, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1What are the odds that he's not like all the other politicians? I guarantee you things aren't going to change as much as you think/hope they will. The president really doesn't have that much power. The next 4 years will be much of the same as we have now, and you'll still be crying over Fox and Bush in 2012. The verdict is still out on the RIAA though.
- fatrandy13, on 04/22/2008, -9/+2yes you're right, a major player in the global news game that has been around for much longer than one single president, will simply wither and die when he is out of office.
  
  obama supporters are sOoOoOoOo smart!!!
  - BeforeSputnik, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3Fox news is no "major player" nor has it been around for "much longer" than one president. It started in '96, which was only 2 presidents ago.
    Hopefully, as more people turn to the internet for their news, the station will die off.
    - fatrandy13, on 04/22/2008, -5/+3i should do more research..... "Fox News Channel is rated as the cable news network with the largest number of regular viewers" and "it is available to 85 million households in the U.S. and further to viewers internationally"- wikipedia
      i guess i was proved wrong.... it really isnt a major player in the global news game
    - bayviews, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1boy what have you been smoking??
    - bagelmaster, on 04/22/2008, -1/+5I think what was meant by the original wither and die comment was that Fox news was pretty much nothing until Bush came into office and more people (Republicans mostly, or Dems looking for a laugh) started watching the channel.
      - fatrandy13, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1thats just not true though...fox news was huge by the end of the '90s. Bush didnt come into power until 2001...
        and "dems looking for a laugh", you mean the same reason that conservatives watch CNN right?
      - Culled, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2I don't have any hard numbers but my feeling was that Fox was a significantly smaller player in the late 90s. I remember Jon Stewart on 60 Minutes circa 2002 or 2003 saying that if he wanted reliable news he turned to Fox but he usually didn't want reliable news because that wasn't what the Daily Show's about. He definitely didn't say that once Fox news became the powerhouse that it is now. Although, I do agree with fatrandy's more general point; Fox is huge and they're not going to go away with the Bush administration.
    - TheDudeDiggs, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1lol to fox news not being a major player in global news. Thats about the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Yeah your right, fox news is a really small station that no one watches. It's ratings are right down there with that one local channel that shows high school basketball that was filmed from the bleachers. Just because you ignore the facts doesn't mean it true. This isn't never never land, you can't fly just because you think you can.
  - makeitloud, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Define news. Fox is in the "news game" like Goebbels was.

  - dualboy24, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I don't doubt it, the republican base knows that Fox is pro rep and anti everyone else, so of course they tun their channel to that, along with a lot of dems and independents watch it just for the pure entertainment and shock value. ABC wants to try and grab some of that market share also it seems. Its a matter of ratings and who can entertain the best, not about truth, or honest reporting and balance, at least not for a very long time.
    - funkyloki, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0Very good. That is exactly what ll this about; entertainment over information. My dad recently said he loves to watch any news channel, because it is more exciting and dramatic than regular TV.

      - fmaxwell, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Liberal is a title I'm proud to have applied to me. I'm proud to be part of the tradition that brought voting rights to women and blacks, civil rights to blacks, Roosevelt's New Deal programs to help our country out of the Great Depression, Eisenhower's Great Society programs of Medicare, Medicaid, mass transportation for urban areas, both the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities, and consumer protection laws.

      - fmaxwell, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I don't know what liberals you're talking to, but I've always felt that the culture in the Middle East, whether Saddam or our wonderful, decent, warm-hearted Saudi friends, were oppressive towards women and intolerant of non-muslim religious views.
        
        But you're doing your usual revisionist history. First Bush wanted to convince everyone the Saddam was behind 9/11 and that's why we should attack. Then it was because he had WMDs. Now it's because of Bush's heartfelt concern for the women of Iraq. So when do we attack Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arab world for the way that they treat women? When do we attack China for their policies that lead to the killing of female children? Oh, not so much in favor of that, are you. Hypocrite.

maybach, on 04/22/2008, -13/+53Questions: What does 'liberal' even mean any more? And what does 'anti-American' mean? It's as good as meaningless, as a phrase, as far as I can see. Who gets to decide what being an American means anyway? And when is the US populace going to rise above the propaganda, and recognize the disaster that right-wing politics has wrought on their country...?
- aladrin, on 04/22/2008, -4/+39Anti-American: Wanting the United States to be hurt, not healed.
  
  And I bothered to look up liberal and find a good definition:
  
  Noun 1. liberal
  liberal - a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties
  
  Both of those have very concrete meanings. By definition, one can't be 'too liberal' and be 'anti-American' at the same time, since The United States IS its people and liberals wants to protect them. Your confusion results from Fox's propaganda, not from any lack of a definition.
  - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/22/2008, -6/+5When someone on the right says "Liberal" they're really talking about Progressives and/or Socialists. Not Center-Left.
    - jezsik, on 04/22/2008, -5/+23No, when a Republican says "liberal" they're really talking about anyone opposed to fascism.

      ...and that's where I really stopped taking you seriously. Sure, there's extremists who believe that crap but they're lumped in with the same extremists as abortion clinic bombers. Some people simply want to understand their enemy. Saying "They hate America" isn't reason enough because the only way to resolve that tension is for America to be destroyed or for everyone who believes that to be destroyed. Just because one wants to know the true mentality of their enemy so they can understand them better and maybe discover some other solution to the hate doesn't mean that they support their cause.
  - Sinai, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Extreme liberalism values the rights of the individual over society in general, which can most certainly be Anti-American. As applied in current politics, liberal in practical terms means spending tax money to guarantee any in society certain benefits, where it is clear that taking that to an extreme can be harmful to an economy, and thus the nation, and thus anti-American.
- tk0680, on 04/22/2008, -5/+36It's quite funny to non-Americans - to us, liberty means freedom. Liberal is the adjective. How "liberal" become a negative term in the self-professed "land of the free" is beyond me.
  - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 04/22/2008, -5/+2That would be Libertarian here.
    - apetrie, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11How about people stop inventing terms for things that already exist, just because they've become dirty words and their meanings twisted? Its as if the entire country is completely ignorant to politics, which I have a hard time believing. Some of you need to speak out against this stupidity. Also, to your comment above.. Liberalism as you defined it IS center-left, although neither of your major parties can even be said to be that. You don't get to reinvent the political scale just because both of your parties are so close on it.
    - afruff23, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1@apetrie
      
      Left and right is more of an economic scale. Liberalism means the economic right and socially non-authoritarian EVERYWHERE except for the US. The "progressives" in the US stole the term "liberal" to mean economic left and socially non-authoritarian.
      
      If it were up to me, I'd just make a single axis chart. On the left is more government; on the right is no government.
- Observer001, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3When I first started paying mind to politics I assumed "liberal" meant what it bloody well sounded like, i. e. "principally concerned with spreading liberty, rights et cetera." This sounded pretty damned good to me. Over time I've come to see that "liberal" in the sense the news does use the word means "socially permissive, civilly permissive, typically economically conservative." In politics so rarely do words mean what they, you know, actually mean.
  - jezsik, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11No, the words still mean the same thing. The problem is the conscientious decision to apply the word incorrectly.
- tototest19, on 04/22/2008, -0/+13It's funny because "liberal" pretty much means "capitalist" in Europe...
  - 5urr3al5am, on 04/22/2008, -10/+2that is funny.. because liberal in America means closet communist ..
    - BrewBeau, on 04/22/2008, -2/+6I was waiting for that. Anyone in America who likes any social or progressive program must be a communist/marxist. My favorite negative term is coined by O'reilly. I'm proud to be and can't think of a better term than "secular progressive".
    - pyronik, on 04/22/2008, -7/+5whats progressive about stealing other peoples money, to me a much more "progressive" thing to do would be to take personal responsibility for your own damn problems and stop passing the buck onto the federal government.... Awww you can't pay your loan? well sell one of your 3 big screen tv's and look up the word variable before you sign a ***** contract.
      
      Thats progressive folks
      - DavidYeah, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4Your argument is so laced with sophistry that I can't even stand it. How do you know people didn't know what "variable" meant? Why were these businesses even GIVING the risky loans in the first place? I can appreciate that someone would want to own their own house, but actually giving these people loans they wouldn't be able to sustain was crazy. You make it sound like businesses were having their arm twisted by potential homeowners or something.
        Second, why do you assume that everyone has three big televisions that can easily be sold off for enough money to pay off a frigging mortgage?
        I can't figure out why this sophist is being dugg. All he's doing is stoking hate for the downtrodden, as seems to be the trend around digg nowadays.
      - pyronik, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Yea so what the businesses are suffering too. They made bad decisions, but its also your responsibility to figure out if you can make your own payments. Thats the key ...YOUR responsibility (as opposed to mine cause I won't pay your mortgage). The lack of personal responsibility in this country is unreal. It's not about stoking hate for the downtrodden, its not making everyone else pay for their mistakes. On top of that their is this notion of entitlement, that you are OWED your mortgage payments just because you are downtrodden regardless of the circumstances of your own mistakes causing it. Really can you be so dense to not understand the word "variable rate", and if you did know what it meant like you are implying why would you sign on to the mortgage? People are so used to having everything they want, and don't realize that the things they have are not entitlements, they are things that are earned, and that nobody should be getting hand outs unless its in regards to children, mentally retarded, etc. They live outside their means (big screen tv's are just an example), have cell phones, go out and drink, spend all their money... and you see these people on wellfare. From working at wallmart I saw it all the time people coming up with brand new flashy cell phones, nice clothing, etc ... and they pay with food stamps. It's ridiculous. Nowhere in the world do you see such wealthy downtrodden people.
    - 5urr3al5am, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1People would be shocked if they paid all their taxes either quarterly or yearly.. don't get me wrong, I feel I should pay something because of the opportunity and resources that America has given me. Its nice to want to do all these things with the citizens money, but at some point you have to draw a line and tell people that they need to do something for themselves.
    - DavidYeah, on 04/22/2008, -1/+5Surrealism: You said you're willing to pay your part because of the opportunity and resources that America has given you. That's great, it really is. But I bet that "line" that you feel needs to be drawn is exactly at the spot where the resources YOU use ends and the resources that are used by the POOR begins. I bet you're fine with roads, public parks, water works, air/water quality, but those OTHER programs that the OTHER people, the BAD people use, those are the ones that need to be cut. You and all like you are immensely hypocritical without even realising it because you feel like your rage is justified because who cares about the poor anyway?
      
      What about the least amongst us, who weren't born into the status you have been afforded? Don't you think it's okay to provide resources for them so THEY can build themselves or their kids up to greater level? Sadly, they'd probably feel the exact way you do about the social programs their parents or great grandparents used.
      - 5urr3al5am, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1Get off your f*cking high horse.. my father's family came to this country as immigrants with nothing but one trunk of belongings and a strong work ethic.

I don't know you tell me? high def tv? and suv? cell phone? high speed internet? no body wants to work and everyone wants the benefits.. a large number of these people need to be accountable for themselves, get a job, and work hard to move up

- ender7074, on 04/22/2008, -22/+6You really are a douchebag. If you live in the States, please leave. Go live in a lovely vacation spot like Iran and see how "bad" America is.
  - trer, on 04/22/2008, -2/+15The good ol' "at least America is better than (insert other country here)" counter-argument. The "anti-American" tag isn't about how bad it is in America, it's about how ***** America has treated other countries throughout history. Specifically, see CIA-orchestrated overthrow of democratically elected Iranian president Mossedegh in 1953 and installation of the Shah who then went on to brutalize the Iranian people with the blessing of the United States.
    - Armakillo, on 04/22/2008, -6/+4Yeah, and freaking Canada backed Fidel Castro in the 70s under this idiot named Trudeau. The US just has more influence, so it comes out more, but by any measure it is no more corrupt than any other country.
    - pyronik, on 04/22/2008, -8/+2yea if america is so bad thats why everyone illegally immigrates here
    - PoonGnarfler, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6pyronik did you even read his argument?
      - pyronik, on 04/22/2008, -6/+1would u move to a country who was wreaking havoc all over the world? thats his argument.... I personally wouldnt move to a nazi germany or anything like that
        
        but no, to be honest i stopped after (insert country here), cause the rest became irrelevant
  - motivatedmama, on 04/22/2008, -1/+7Having a problem with America is like raising children and wanting the best for them. Do you leave them when they mess up or do you point out the misbehavior and offer criticism in the hope of change and growth? These people who throw around the "just leave" crap are the ones who have their heads in the sand and see nothing to change OR they are so self centered that their own short term "well being" is just more important than any sad legacy we may leave for generations to come. Liberals practice tough love. The rest is lazy, incompetent parenting.
    - trer, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Exactly. I hate the "We're perfect so ***** everyone else" or the "We must be the best because everyone moves here" mindset that so many people in this country have. Did it ever occur to people that maybe we've played a part in trashing their country that they are moving to America out of survival?
      
      The whole "we're the best" mindset keeps people from asking the critical questions that we need to ask in order to analyze our policies, explore our history and keep improving by avoiding mistakes we've already committed. As many of us can tell, we haven't been very successful on that front. There's no such thing as perfection, only constant improvement.
  - hinchb, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I was just going through your posts and wanted to point out what a stupid piece of ***** you are. That's all.
- Sinai, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2I would imagine for anyone in the United States or has an interest in Pax Americana anti-Americanism is a very bad thing indeed.
- ChokingVictims, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4I'm so liberal that I'm Anti-American.
  Anti the American government at least.
nickcozy, on 04/22/2008, -61/+15Hillary is so liberal she is pro-american.

GO HILARRY.
GO HILLARY.
GO HILLARY.
- keviniskool, on 04/22/2008, -5/+13Forgot your /sarcasm tag.
  - ace429k, on 04/22/2008, -3/+1good job nickcozy.
    
    i'll get dugg down with you.
- jax1492, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2This isn't going to end well
TsuruchiBrian, on 04/22/2008, -17/+96I think that picking a president that Fox News does not approve of should be a requirement.
