Fox News drops all pretenses

    Anything else you want to lie about, liar?

    I believe the success of the "Tea Party" in determining the recent Republican agenda is proof that there's a very vigorous and vocal far right in this country.

    I don't see its meaningful opposite anywhere on the current American political spectrum.

    OK, Uncle, you got me. I am a conservative who has voted for both Democrats and Republicans. In my book that makes me an independent. Just because someone is conservative doesn't mean they are automatically a Republican. Do I lean more to the right? Absolutely. But I vote for the person which means I never vote for a person who is far-right loon or a far-left lunatic. I take offense to you calling me a liar when I simply did not fully explain myself. And you're right, you did have a clue as to "where I'm coming from," but that does not make me a liar. It simply means I don't keep track of everything I post.

    OK, I'll bite. For which Democrat(s) have you voted at a national level? I'll also accept a governor. I'm not interested if it's at any level below that.

    Hmm... Jerry Brown definitely was far left during previous gubernatorial stints. Now, I think current circumstances prevent that. Gore was pretty far left, although that might be based on some of the things he's done in the last decade or so, moreso that what he did when he was a senator and VP.

    Pelosi is far left.

    I'm not about to "out" myself by telling you a Democratic governor I've voted for in the past. But I did vote for Obama last time because I bought into that "hope and change" thing. I was hoping, no pun intended, he was a different kind of politician. I was worried he did not have enough experience, but he talked a good game. Unfortunately, that's all it's been: Talk.

    Yep. You sound convincing. A regular Fox News watcher pulled the level for Obama. Right.

    It depends what level you watch it. If you watch O'Reilly or Hannity, I would definitely agree with you.

    Call me a classicist, but 'far-left' to me is an anarchist or a Maoist or a Stalinist or Communist. Maybe even a radical capital-S Socialist.

    Jerry Brown ran a more fiscally conservative California than Ronald Reagan; Gore was a centrist, like Clinton, and about as radical as Nixon. Nancy Pelosi doesn't even qualify as a Progressive.

    Given how much the lefties on here are up to speed on what airs on Fox it would appear a lot of Obama voters watch Fox New regularly.

    You don't have to watch FNC to watch the piece in question on YouTube or DailyMotion. Duh

    OK, Uncle, I am fucking sick of your shit. You don't know me, I don't know you, but I am awful fucking tired of you coming on here and casting aspirations about me. By the way, I don't regularly watch television at all because my job keeps me too busy. What I do is read a lot, too much, at times, but reading is part of what I do for a living, which is none of your fucking business. You, sir, are a dumb fuck and not worth my time or effort. Go find someone else to stalk.
