7. lying liars and lies they keep telling
We should all know at this point and remember that the "fair and balanced" network is a de facto agent of the republican party. They say Obama wants to declriminalize marijuana and then they show us a clip where Obama states unequivocally that he is against legalizing marijuana. Here Fox is, as typical, appealing to people who don't think. What is the easiest way to turn people who don't think? Tell them something that will frighten them or inflame their passions. Fox operates under the principle that there is nothing wrong with lying to people. Fox operates on the rule that any cost of lying to the public is irrelevant. If Fox can get a few thousand people who lack the capacity to think to rally around a lie Fox publishes for short term gain, Fox is quite pleased. It's known as absence of conscience and it is very prevalent today. Obama brings something different than that.

12. decriminalization would be cheaper
Edited on Tue May-13-08 09:12 AM by RainDog
clear courts of victimless crimes.
stop wasting money (lives are more imp, but this is republi-speak) on trials and incarceration.
free up police to focus on actual crime.
stop wasting money on DEA crap vis a vis CA med. mj - Obama said he wouldn't pursue states over med mj issue.

the jackasses cannot even reply rationally to the fact that Obama's needle-exchange program stance is the one favored by major U.S. health orgs.

tyrants_ r_ sore_ at_ us_@ foxnews.scum

dammit, making people miserable for no reason is a fox news american value!

13. John Kerry is still in the Senate
Wasn't he the most liberal Senator in 2004? They do this every single time. You have to be absolutely kidding me that Obama is the biggest liberal in the Senate. It's just laughable. If they think the same tricks are going to work this time they will be crying in their kool-aid come November.

15. My favorite part of this video was Barack playing pool at the end.
Edited on Tue May-13-08 09:43 AM by rusty quoin
He makes a good shot, sets himself up perfectly for the next shot and says, with his grin, "That's the sign of a misspent youth."

19. What a bunch of baloney by Faux
Obama is for the legal use of MEDICAL marihuana. Fox is stripping the context as usual, to misrepresent a Democrat's view.

20. This is such an hear sore
Edited on Tue May-13-08 11:34 AM by spokane
people actually pay Faux noise to listen to this BS that this pretense of
Journalism has to offer.

Hannity would not know the morales of Journalism, he sold that lon time ago
to his corporate masters.

What a waste of my precious time to respond to this piece of shit...

Tha day of reckoning is coming....

21. Cue "Mayberry" theme
Let's see.... Middle America is scared to death of pot.

Main stream America is more concerned over the money for needle exchange than 3 trillion wasted in a failed war.

Uh huh....


These guys ARE living in the 1950's!!!

The thing that gets me about these Fox shows and their "experts" is y'know THEY don't even believe what they are saying. They couldn't! They just spew stuff out there to see what sticks.
