Political Mislabeling collection
Mislabeling a politician once can be excused as a "typo" - but it seems it is becoming a consistent "typo"

are these just "innocent mistakes" or is there something more "subliminable**" going on :tinfoilhat:

Bradblog highlighted FOLEY mislabeling, but missed the HASTERT mislabel

will bush be labeled as a "D" next? How about Bin-laden as a Dem?

**"The idea of putting subliminable messages into ads is ridiculous." —George W. Bush, 2000 campaign

4. And This Is Bad Why?
As they say, it's Faux, not Facts. It's viewed by closed minds with the intelligence of a soap dish. Most important, Faux's impact is only on the Repugnican side of the world and that world is shrinking every day. In many ways, this is a negative from a negative that I see as a positive.

Hopefully someone sees a "D" next to Corker or some other Repugnican and decides "I'm not gonna vote for this bastidge" and will sit home. You'd think a vast majority of those who watch that cesspool of electrons know whose a "D" and who isn't. They can put a "D" next to Foley's name and it makes this network a further laughing stock and disconnects them as a credible news or information source with more moderates and independents.

I honestly think these were screw ups by a bunch of young pups working in the control room...all filled with Repugnican piss and vigor and doing sloppy work.

Methinks Faux's shelf life is starting to wear very thin...but there's still a need for it. It creates great material for Newshounds, provides me with tons of amusement when I read of the bonehead crap that's uttered there and how it's working hard to marginalize itself to a smaller and smaller audience....and with it less and less relevence.

9. They're doing it on purpose, perhaps to hide the crime they're about to
commit.

13. or they are ashamed of being identified as a repub?
I received a crap load of "vote for me" flyers in the snail-mail this week -- all from repubs running in my area - and NONE OF THEM IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS BEING REPUBS... not even in the fine print

5. I don't see how it helps Fox News to label the Republican candidate...
...for US Senate from Tennessee a Democrat.

What a sloppy excuse for a news network.

10. We probably won't understand until after the election is stolen again.
"oh no we didn't steal it, people were just confused about who the candidates were and voted for the wrong person"
