Tuesday: No, it's because what she says is true. I see a president that is changing America into something other than what the founders intended. He'll be defeated. First in November and then in 2012.
Tuesday: Yes and it's a metaphor but most uneducated democrats would miss it. We should be armed with the truth (even the Bible speaks using this exact metaphoric language) so that we can be dangerous to the opposition.
Knowledge is power. Leave it to wimpy minded liberals to resort to manufacturing a straw man.
The Young Turks are ultra liberal. One video so far and the only nut in the video was the moron commentator host. Michele Bachmann was right on in her assessment of Obama.
ACORN whistle-blower Anita Moncrief held a press conference Friday at the Right Online Convention in Las Vegas. She announced today that she will press FEC charges against the Obama Administration for the campaign’s illegal coordination with ACORN during the 2008 election.

Asunto: Re:Freedom of speech should not be abused or cause harm, spread fear, used to spread hate.
Tuesday: who gets to decide what causes harm (your comments earlier caused me emotional harm) and what does spreading fear look like? Who decides that? Conservatives? What makes something qualify as "hate?" How do you define it in objective terma?
Tuesday: Since you can't name a single riot, it's fair to say that you made a false statement.
It's fine if one disagrees with Fox. But the left is currently falsely accusing Fox of being racist (they love playing that card - but that's because they can't beat Fox honestly). Disagree, but don't lower yourself to making false claims.
Tuesday: It's irresponsible to talk that way. You can't back it up. You are making a statement as if it's fact and hiding behind "it's just my opinion."
This sort of thing should frighten you on the Left. If the Left can do it, what will you say when the Conservatives retake power (and they will) and they do it to liberal talk radio/blogs/tv/cable etc.
Tuesday: That's what the left is trying to do. It's not the first time. Here's a sample:
CNN Anchor to Shirley Sherrod: Would you like to see [Andrew Breitbart's] site to be shut down? Shirley Sherrod: “That would be a great thing. Because I don’t see how that advances us in this country.”
Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA on JournoList: “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull [Fox's'] broadcasting permit once it expires?”
What would you on the left say to a concerted effort, on the part of the Right, to pass legislation that shuts down far left leaning blogs, cable, and networks?
Being a Leftist sucks when it comes to political debate. You really only have two choices to try and convince others that your progressive ideas and values aren’t toxic, and that’s emotionalism, lies, or both.
I love the way O'Reilly has liberals and conservatives on his show and he let's them both offer their POV. He is the best commentator and news analyzer out there.
Tuesday: Oh I don't doubt that those facts are true. But they still lost. Personally I think it was a sad chapter in US history. Many men died in that horrible war.
Wow, two conservative commentators just said that Britbart made either an honest mistake or a dishonest one. Either way, they said, he needs to apologize to everyone.
