Fox News-TV

What the hell is wrong with people on this site...

DID YOU ALL FORGET WHAT THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 11,2001 FELT LIKE....WHEN THOSE TOWERS FELL???

Whiny people who have nothing better to do but cry about what the FEDS did now.

[BurbankKarl]

I am comfortable that LA "had a meeting" and considered opening the EOC..! I guess when you are broke, you can't protect the public!

MSNBC said this this the first time the alert level has been raised on a weekend.

I noticed that too...

I missed the beginning of the news conference - what is Operation Atlas?

[At _War_With_Liberals]

"MSNBC said this this the first time the alert level has been raised on a weekend."

Monday morning headlines are the most effective.

We were switching between the Bills and the Cowboys, so I might have missed it if our local affiliate dropped out for the national feed. Interesting choice if they didn't.

I was back and forth between the NY and LA CBS stations, and they both ran a crawl on the screen, with a break-in around half-time.

After trying to read through this thread, having just gotten home at 6:00, I am shocked at the mocking tone of so many Freepers.

Good for you, Dog, reminding people of 9/11. The feds are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Let's all cut them a little slack and if any of the whining people can think of something the government can do better, tell THEM. Don't just complain here, which does NO good whatsoever.

Have you heard why Dubya did not go to Camp David this weekend?

[Dog]

God forbid something happens .....but if it does....I better not see those who are whining now.....bitch that Bush hasn't done enough.

[Peach]

And I think only the 4th time we've raised the level this high since 9/11. In 26 months, that's not an overuse of the threat level system.

[Peach]

This thread is shocking to read, from Freepers. I cannot believe what I'm reading here.

Perhaps we have some Dean supporters...

[Burlem]

Have to say I did not read all the posts just scanned.

If we were attacked again, Howie Dean would be happy,I can hear him say "See I told you we were not safer after capturing Saddam"
In fact since 9-11, this administration has been saying we very likely would be attacked again, but Howie would use it
as an election tool for himself.
Just my very humble opinion of course.

Good Rant Dog!

[hellinahandcart]

Is he always late for news conferences?

I don't notice. Anything less forty-five minutes or more late is automatically filed under "Doing Better Than Clinton".

[Dog]

No.......these aren't Dean supporters its the crowd who always shows up on these threads whining about what Bush hasn't done yet.

[Peach]

Hope you read my #707, too. I'm disgusted with the whining on this thread, and good for you reminding people how they felt on 9/11.

Mayor Bloomberg says he'll be in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

[bd476]

"...but now I will have to figure out something else to do on Christmas Eve..."

Ideas: attend Christmas Eve Service, rent and watch "It's a Wonderful Life," "White Christmas," and "Miracle on 34th Street," stay at home and drink eggnog, listen to Christmas music, etc.

[Peach]

Good. Glad he isn't going to back down and stay away on New Year's Eve.

In response to military actions in Iraq, the New York City Police Department implemented Operation Atlas, a comprehensive security package to protect New York City from possible reprisal attacks by terrorist groups and others.
