51. I saw your prediction
The funeral for Irony will be held at 3:00 EST. Irony's family has requested that instead of flowers, attendees make contributions to The National Institute for the Irony Impaired.

90. I saw it
or substantially the same message, on Fox. In the .02 seconds a week that I see them. They announced the single count he was not convicted of.
I wonder if their viewers ever wonder if they're being manipulated, or if they are just too far gone.

89. Why, They are just seeing the glass half full
instead of half empty. Or is it one-fourth full instead of three-fourth empty. Well, any way they are making a positive out of a negative just the way they do when they say we are winning in Iraq and that bush is a great occupier of the WH. (cannot call him president even in this instance. Just my hang up?) :shrug:

23. The sad part is that people across the US getting gas, having lunch,
and walking through hotel lobbies all see the banner and don't hear/listen to the audio. All they see is that "found not guilty".

It's going to be a real shocker this evening for them, but the "Liberal Media" will have it all spun into a Guilty Verdict on four of five counts by bed time. *holds head in hands*

He just came on and couldn't even remember the anchor's name! The anchor handed off the story to Brit by saying "Sentencing is scheduled for June," at which point Brit came on, head down and moaned "Hello June. Er...Martha."

BWAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Now he's spinning like a mofo saying we're "very far afield from what this was about." Hmmm. You mean, Brit...like how blowjobs developed out of a land deal investigation? You stupid fuck!

You know, when watching Fox "News" one can almost hear the faint laughter of Goebbels.

Fox is his ultimate triumph in death. The vaunted Americans...getting right down in the gutter with Mr. Goebbels using the same tactics for the same masters of industry, and doing a far more sophisitcated job than Goebbels could have ever dreamt of.

taken over the TV station and set off explosions to music. The Govt/media plays it off as a planned event. Funny to see a real life headline like this one though. Faux truly is in an alternate reality and it's not a good one.

Faux is afterall the only 'news channel' that sued, and won, the right to flat out lie to the public. As far as I know that still stands.

It is no wonder right wingers are the least informed, and of the opinion that they are the MOST informed. Poor, ignorant, fools that they are...

77. It's that coating of reinforced ignorance
That makes converts to the Dark Side so very hard to de program.
When I try to bring my old room mate up to speed on Bushco, I not only have to get past his internal skepticism, I have to offset the freight car inertia of the ignorance reinforced daily by Fox.
I hear things like:
"It's only the North Polar cap breaking up. The Southern pole is getting larger."
Now that's obviously bullshit. Our planet doesn't work that way.
But because the fascist machine has planted its propaganda there, the discussion quickly degenerates into challenging the validity of each others sources. He always Charlies out with "Liberal Scientists" or "Liberal Media" in the end.
I've heard these guys blame the teaching of evolution for each of society's ills.
With the Faux constantly telling them that they're right, they'll function as corporate fifth columnists after the Cons are out of power.

80. I really like 'Conservatives Without Conscience.
I have accepted the fact that the 25% or so of the authoritarian right will always be with us. They will always advocate death, and claim to be the culture of life. They will always project their greatest shortcomings on the left. And they will be in the minority if they keep pandering to these people.

At least it appears, with the last midterm eletions, that Americans have woken up, and are ready to leave republicans as the majority for the forseeable future. I only hope we survive the rest of Bush's term.

79. I think it's good. They are only making themselves more obviously unreliable.

84. The most ironic (funny) thing about this.........
is that The Colbert Report did EXACTLY this on his show last evening. And I am positive that Stephen taped BEFORE they did it on faux. So, as usual, Colbert is waaaaaaaaay ahead of the curve and has these idiots pegged.:rofl:
