  • What is the Right Wing Media?

    Some people on this forum keep talking about the "Right Wing Media". What exactly is it?

    Fox News? Rush Limbaugh? Sean Hannity? Bill O'Reilly? Laura Ingraham? Glenn Beck? The Washing Times? The Washington Examiner?

    So, what you have here is 5 talking heads, three of which work for fox news, and two newspapers...

    How does that compare with the Left Wing Media?

    NY Time, Boston Globe, LA Times, Chicago Sun-Tribune, Miami Herald, Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, etc, etc

    Which consists of almost every major newspaper, the big three TV networks, two cable news stations. It could probably be added that Academia is part of as well.

    Despite the lower percentage of the overall market, how is it that one can point out the "Right Wing Media" as if it control all flow of information?

  • Where can I find on the internet a live streaming?

    of a video that demonstrates to me all of the martial arts ever, explains the differences between them, and outlines all of their strengths and weaknesses. These videos should also demonstrate in excruciating detail how I can hurt someone badly in a school yard fight and make them cry. I need to know all of this before I watch UFC114 live on the interwebz so I can figure who would win a fight between Bruce Lee and Wilma Flintstone. Hopefully, if I can deduce the winner, I will know which martial art is the deadliest and which one I should take for deadly offensive ability.

  • What are the most annoying repeatedly asked on this forum?

    1) Who would win in a fight? Bruce Lee vs. <Insert name here>

    2) How do I hurt someone really bad?

    3) 4 variations on the same question asked by the same user

    4) Where can I watch UFC for free?

    5) I Like Cake.

    NOTE: I deleted the original question because I murdered the English language in the subject line.

  • No statistical increase in global temperatures since 1995?

    Does anyone still buy into this man-made global warming hoax?

    Dr. Phil Jones, one of the doctors at the center of this climate-gate scandal said himself that there is no statistical increase in global temperatures since 1995. He even went on to say it was probably even warmer during medieval times...

  • Would this coming snow be better for the American people?

    If it occurred on this upcoming Monday?

  • How many of you would like to hear this from your elected Representative?

    "I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful."

    -Representative Eric Massa

    Is this not the epitome of elitism? It screams, "You have no idea what they hell you want, I know far better than you what is best for you"...

  • Do you believe that...?

    the party you support lies as a means to an end?

    The left says that the GOP and Conservatives do nothing but lie.

    The Right says that the Liberals and the Democrats do nothing but lie.

    Do you believe that your party always tells the truth and has nothing but the best interests of the people at heart, or they lie to forward their agenda in the best interests of the party, not the people?

  • Why is it that the media crucified...?

    Rush Limbaugh for doctor shopping so he could get painkillers, but, has been strangely silent to the fact Michael Jackson did the exact same thing? Wouldn't this be defined as "hypocrisy"?

  • Obama says he loses sleep at night in regards to the deficit?

    "President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that worrying about the U.S. government's finances "keeps me awake at night" and the country needed to start planning now to tackle soaring deficits."

    How many people think that his sleeping woes could easily solved by putting an end to his ridiculous spending programs?

  • Is anyone else amused by the fact that...?

    The Lefties on this forum keep telling Republicans and Conservatives to get over losing the election in 2008 when nine years later they themselves haven't gotten over the 2000 election?

    Have they forgotten they have spent the last eight years of their lives dripping venom, gnashing their teeth, and whining like small children?

  • Why does the government...?

    Feel it is qualified to make BUSINESS decisions for GM and Chrysler?

    The government in not even competent enough to run itself, how does it expect to run Car Manufacturers?

    Your average politician is a lawyer. They know very little about running big business. They know nothing of spending money wisely. All they know is that they have all the money in the country with a simple change in the tax code. They are not in the business to compete or earn money, only to confiscate it from its rightful earners.

    Sure, these people have advisors, but they are political hacks who echo the ideology of the people they advise. They aren't out for economic return. They want political return and that is how they design policy.

    So, again, I ask, why does the government think it can successfully run the auto industry?

  • Where is the media outrage?

    Had a Republican, or even worse, President Bush made that special olympics, there would not be enough minutes in the day to cover the outrage at the obvious republican hatred for the disabled. Every minute of the day would be spent raging against what would be labeled both a hate crime, and a crime against humanity.

  • Does it get any more absurd than this?

    Nancy Pelosi: "We want our money back and we want our money back now for the taxpayers."

    When has she ever cared about giving money back to the tax payers?

    When has she ever NOT been interested in taking money from the tax payers?

  • Why did Jim Carville want President Bush to fail?

    only nine months into his administration?

    Why did Jim Carville want to destroy the president because his ratings were too high after 9/11?

    The democrats froth at the mouth when a RADIO personality expresses his desire that the president fail if he intends to inflict socialism upon us?

    Jim Carville is a democratic strategist at the highest levels. Rush Limbaugh is a talk show host. Jim Carville is responsible for shaping the strategy of the democratic party. Rush Limbaugh is responsible for getting on the air every day and entertaining 22M people.

    Where was the media outrage? Oh, right - Jim Carville is a DEMOCRATIC party strategist, not a republican talk show host...
