Why all the crickets??????

[uscitizen]

When Bush was President, seemed like everyday you heard some ration of crap about how bad a President he was - especially for the Middle East wars. Now, you hardly ever hear anything about the wars at all. Has all the loud mouths gotten to hoarse to yell and scream? Could it be that if you are a Democratic President war is acceptable? Why all of the crickets? All I hear is crickets...

You should come out of the basement sometimes.

Quite the contrary, Bush got a free ride for years.

And in case you didn't know, we are leaving Iraq and Afghanistan.

It could be......We are not getting reports of four or five soldiers killed every day

When did Bush ever get a free ride on anything?

And it's funny how we are leaving by continuing to send troops over there and then opening up a front in Libya.

If you notice... it comes from "investors.com".

Yeah, they have no stake in the game.

You do realize that anyone with a 401k, Pension is an investor right.

Why is Fox pretty quiet about the war is the real question.
figure that out and you will have your answer.

OMG thanks chris for the Laugh.

That has got to be the most Hilarious Line of Utter Bullshit I ever heard anyone say in here, and that is really saying something.

 

[uscitizen]

Au contrare, it was unamerican to say anything bad about Bush for years there. After all he was a war president!

I guess that rule no longer applies?

 

[Charles_Main]

Because they support the Mission. They supported it under Bush and they support it now. Unlike Liberal Democrats who attacked the wars for 7 years, and then all of the sudden grew silent on the subject when a liberal Democrat became President.

The first four years Bush had a free ride.

Then the lies about WMDs came out.

And we aren't sending any troops to Libya.

So nothing you said is true.

Why is it so hard for people to admit that there is always bias on both sides but that the left owns most of the media.

The "left" owns the media only in the hard Core right wing's mind. Just because Fox and Sarah Palin says it, doesn't make it so. Just because they are more diplomatic with our President and Commander in Chief than Conservative Media, doesn't make them "Libruls".

You see, the difference is... when Bush was in Office, The Conservative Media were the ones playing the "Bush can do no wrong" Card. While the rest of the media was very concerned about fighting a war on two fronts on Credit and Lowering taxes on our wealthiest citizens, Creating another bureaucracy(Homeland Security) and the reduction of our citizenry's civil rights in the Patriot Act.

And even with those concerns, they praised him for doing good when he did it.

But you guys? Blaming Obama for the Entire National Debt($15T... that I have seen Multiple times in my short time here), Cries of Socialism, Communism, and all the rest.... being fully fueled and endorsed by Conservative Media.

Let me ask... when did any of the MAINSTREAM call Bush a Fascist? Don't count MSNBC, they are almost as biased as FOX.

You guys sit here and Actually believe that Fox is fair and balanced, that the AM Radio boys are being truthful and non-deceptive, and that the "Heritage Foundation" is not run by a bunch of Corporate Fat Cats protecting their windfall that they've been having.

They have very little coverage on it though.

The economy and jobs is number one with Americans, well that and gas prices.
Check the polls.

Bullcrap. Bush was hit hard as hell those first four years. it took you guys a whole two weeks to get over 9/11 and go back to attacking President Bush. Heck, some of you guys are still whining about that Florida recount.

There were no lies about WMDs. I really wish you guys would try to understand what a lie is.

And of course we have troops in Libya. You don't think people are flying the aircrafts that are conducting the bombing?

Oh I get it. You are one of these people who thinks that just because we only conduct bombing operations and don't put foot soldiers in that somehow we aren't at war with Libya.

And you call me dishonest.

exactly...as I alluded to earlier if the ideological slant of newsrooms and nets was right or con. , I would expect the same level of bias from that direction, the problem here is getting the left to admit it, let alone see it , we see it here time and time again......the howls of FOX bias while looking the other way as to their own, is basically saying your poop stinks and mine doesn't.....its infantile.

 

[uscitizen]

The reason i do not actively go against Obama is becuase of the group that would ally me with.

Birfers, baggers, racists, moroons, etc.

I still say that Obama is a third Bush term so why do not the right like him?
He is pro war, pro business, etc. What is not there to like for a right winger?

You guys are so embaressing i even changed my registration to Demoncrat a while back.

Maybe a reading comprehension program would help.

Which word in " bias on both sides" was difficult for you?

Because everyone’s tired of hearing the right whine about the Bush ‘double-standard’ and ‘media bias’ rather than address substantive issues.

Another conservative victocrat thread. As a new member, I am shocked by the whining of the conservatives on this board. Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and stop crying about how hard your life is. Grow a pair for god's sake.

"The Smoking Gun For Media Bias

Posted 07/21/2010 06:52 PM ET


Journo-Gate: For decades, moderates and conservatives have been derided and ridiculed for complaining about the mainstream media's pervasive liberal bias. As it turns out, however, their worst fears were true.

If you don't know about Journolist, you should. It's a semi-secret listserv maintained by Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein. Don't bother to try to log on. If they want you, they'll ask you to take part. No outsiders need apply.

And who uses it? Almost exclusively liberal journalists and left-leaning movers and shakers. Sound innocuous? It isn't.

Journolist has become a forum for lefty journalists to talk about how to push their progressive agenda on America, protect President Obama and hurt his foes. It is a safe-space for the often-vile expression of hatred toward conservatives and their ideas.

What's disappointing is not just the lie that journalists put forth about being "objective." That's long since been proved false by survey after survey showing that members of the media are not only overwhelmingly Democratic in their political orientation but also far to the left of average Americans on virtually every major social and economic issue, from tax cuts to abortion."

I would be really exciting if you actually knew something about the topic before you post.
If you follow this suggestion, you'll grow in this new avocation.

Will it make me a whiny victocrat conservative like many others on this board?

Now, everyone is entitled to their very own style of posting, but since you ignore the dispositive nature of my post, I'm go on to assume that you will simply attack, but not defend or disprove.

In short, it remains clear that the media, for the very most part, is firmly behind the Left, and pointing this out to folks like you does not make one 'a whiny victocrat conservative.'

On the other hand, you have in you favor, the creation of a brand new appellation, not seen before: 'a whiny victocrat conservative.'

We'll see if any other Lefties pick it up.

 

[Steelplate]

No, I was disputing the claim that the "left" owns the media.... then I went a little tangential.. sorry about that.

 

[Trajan]

Yeah, they have no stake in the game.

Look at their editorials, Mark Steyn et al. They really are objective. Isn't Steyn an illegal alien?

mark steyn has an acerbic wit to be sure, and his writings are loaded with sarcasm, I would call him a pundit before a journalist, BUT either way, the fact that a) yes hes from one side of the political spectrum and I don't think theres any question about it, b) hes not always wrong, is he?

and in the end so what? as if I cannot name like folks from the other side of the political number line?
