Faux News makes you angrier, stupider, and more bigoted. Rumor has it that it may actually make you more white as well.

What this president needs are more surrogates like Himes who will take up for the president. And what this country needs are more Dems and independents willing to call Fox News out for their blatantly dishonest, America-hating coverage.

The greatest disservice to this nation is that Fox News is allowed to operate with complete immunity. I’m not saying Fox News should be prosecuted. I’m saying there should be million Dems lining up to get on that station blasting them for their coverage. The little boycott where we pretend Fox News doesn’t matter isn’t really working out all that great. It’s time to take them on and make them own it.

When I was a kid, my mother wouldn’t let me watch Gilligan’s Island because, as she said, “it will make you stupid.”

I’ve kept the tradition alive by using the same point about FOX News.

Fux News: because even the brain-dead need something to watch.

Unfortunately, the caller is probably boasting on Free Republic that “he wouldn’t answer my questions!”

You can’t use logic to counteract a rabidly emotional/fantasy-belief system.

He should have also mentioned that the idiot was the dumbest moron he’d heard recently.

lt’ll make you crazy and old before your time as well. Seriously, the less said in “defense” of right-wing generated conspiracies, the better. Shine them on, and move on.

Don’t ever try to argue with a Tea-Bagger. They just KNOW they are right and any attempt to bring FACTS or REALITY into the conversation PROVES all of their conspiracy fantasies.
They have a Pavlovian response to the words: Benghazi, IRS, Kenyan, Fast&Furious, and many other Reich-Wing nut-job conspiracy labels that is downright frightening.
They also worship at the feet of the fantasy-president-who-never-was: “Ronnie Raygun” since the ACTUAL Ronald Reagan presidential record would make them retch (like the rest of us.) Interestingly, they also, to a man, hold the following Presidential Timeline: Reagan the Wise, Bush the Greater, mumble, mumble, scandal, blow-jobs, Obama the Tyrant. No mention of the 8 years of Bush the Lesser, more or less what he actually DID in office with a Republican Majority in Congress for 6 years rubber-stamping everything he wanted.
After all, “Reality has a well-known Liberal Bias” which is why they reject it.

“Any other president would have been laughed out of office by now if he’d have been a Republican," the caller said. "This guy gets away with murder!”

Oh fucking please. “Laughed out of office”…?
No, you fucking dimwit. People are VOTED out of office if the majority deems it an issue.
And the “if he were a Republican…” card - Yeah right.
Bush LIED us into war, caused a recession, massive job loss, tanking of the market, failed financial institutions on his watch, his admin outted a CIA agent plus we got mired in a SECOND war yet he wasn’t “laughed out of office” In fact, he served his two terms!

“Climate unchange”? Sweet Baby Jebus.

Smoke some more cigarettes, “Bob”. You don’t sound raspy enough. Good for you, Rep. Himes.
