I never watch Fox "News" because I hate it! But I came across this video on YouTube. I live in Arizona and I have heard nothing else about this. Has anybody else heard anything about it?

5. duh....let's see..who was president in 2006??

:silly:

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
has closed a portion of the Buenos
Aires National Wildlife Refuge
south of the Garcia Road to public
use, under authority found in 8
RM 13.5 and 50 CFR 25.21(e)
effective October 3, 2006. Garcia
Road runs east/west parallel to
the international boundary about
one mile north of the line. This
area is about 3500 acres in size.
Our concern for public safety is
paramount.

6. You guys are great!

:toast:

4. Not the first time FAUX NOISE has made up a total lie and told it as news...

[L. Coyote]

7. PLUS, that Sheriff is from a different county entirely, not on the border even!!

[SargeUNN]

12. Sheriff Baboon is a right wing partisan

He is trying to be the next Arpaio

[madrchsod]

8. just checked google--it`s viral

originated from fox news

[StarryNite]

11. Yup

That's the what I found when I was trying to search for the facts! Once lies are put on YouTube, people just run with it too. When it all boils down, people believe what they want to believe. They don't give a shit about the facts.

[Angry Dragon]

9. The article says it was closed in 2006

So if anything bush was the one that would have given it back to Mexico.

Fox News ......... the one place you can count on to give you
ignorant and arrogant news.

10. MORE LIES from FOX NEWS

They are BEYOND Despicable.

[Cha]

13. Well, I guess it's good to have a screaming headline like

this on DU to point out how fauxsn00ze lies their mediawhore ass off.

[The_Commonist]

14. Naturally, the comments are priceless...

I think your headline is misleading.
Nowhere in that report do they say "Obama" did this.
Just sayin'...

[SargeUNN]

15. This is being put out big by the right, so I know that

Rachel and Keith will be giving much time on their shows today debunking it. Oh wait, I forgot, Rachel isn't interested if it isn't about the oil leak.

[crikkett]

18. That oil blowout is going to end life as we know it.

Rachel's giving her air time to shame BP and Govt into improving the cleanup. This is important.

Get your gossip elsewhere.

[Another Bill C.]

16. The Youtube poster has made some

major amendments to his page for this video.
He dropped the title "Obama closes 3,500 acres of Arizona...." and replaced it with
"3,500 ACRES OF ARIZONA BORDERLAND CLOSED..."
He also made some changes to the video description.

[StarryNite]

17. Yeah but...

more videos of the lie are popping up!

[Joanne98]

19. Conservatives are pathological liars.

[StarryNite]

20. This video lie is multiplying faster

than a bunch of sewer rats! I can't beat them all down by myself! Any YouTube members, please jump in and join me in posting the facts. It actually worked on two of the YouTube users that uploaded this crap yesterday.
