or Rush

Funny thing is, most the people who hate Bill O are either leftists or Rush lovers.

They will criticize Bill O for the same thing Rush does.

For some reason his personality rubs some people the wrong way.

Hannity does that to me. He just irks me to death, well so does Colmes. But, I can't explain why Hannity annoys me so much, because the things I find annoying in him, I don't find annoying in other people. Makes no sense to me.

He's said over and over again he's independent.

Only when there is no election going on. Election time is when he really lets you know exactly where he stands......and it is not in the middle.

The survey question should be

DO YOU THINK CNN IS A LEGITIMATE NEWS SOURCE?

They did not report what their "journalists" observed in Iraq so they could maintain a presence there. (For what reason I fail to understand since they weren't reporting the real news.) They are no more relevance than CBS or Al Jhazeera.

I don't "perceive" anything about CNN. After watching them for myself, I've arrived at an objective opinion regarding their obvious bias. Why does the Bloviator continue to maintain that his opinions are facts, while those of everyone else are "feelings" or "perceptions"?

or how about:

"Compulsive Nattering Nabobs" (of negativism, as per a former VP. The nabob refers to that rich, anti-Christian leftidiot, Ted Turner)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh. I just think that people who refuse look at the realities of what's being said, just because they might disagree, need to exercise their "courage" muscles a little more. It doesn't hurt and can sometimes make you a bit more informed when you post here.

Well .. when Bill had Seymour Hersch on his program - and the guy did nothing but bad mouth the SBV's - I started losing interest. I rarely watch his program unless he's having an exclusive interview with somebody whom I support. When Bill was finally forced to have John O'Neill on - Bill was rude and very disrespectful to him. That was the last straw.

Oh .. by the way .. it was Seymour who revealed that our military was supposed to be conducting covert operations into Iran. He evidently got the info from somebody at the Pentagon. I don't know if it was leaked on purpose or not .. but if it was - they sure knew who to leak the info to.

left wing bias? Ever walk into a Borders or Barnes & Nobles lately?...that is all you see are Bush-bashing books..smack dab in your face...in the middle of the store...Always!

did that last spring - in our state capitol.

I was LIVID - and I let it be known to the sales people and then demanded to see the manager, whom I also ripped - then let him watch as I took photos...(I was on a lunch break from the state Republican Convention - and still had on my delegates badge, which he was looking at like it was a serpent...)

Well, at least that is a business that can be corrected via free market.

Two weeks back I went into my library. The computer said they had one of Bill O's book, the one for kids, it said it was in stock, but it no where on the shelves when I went to retrieve it. They had zero Ann Coulter, but about a dozen Maureen Dowd books (all in stock on the shelves), they had the whole range of Michael Moore crap, and of course about a dozen Kitty Kelly books.

Now, this is my tax dollars at work, and I am in a Republican county (Kane) just outside of Chicago.

My tally was something like 50 liberal drive-by books on Bush (50 titles, not total) to 2 titles by conservatives (and one was missing from the shelf).

The librarian informed me that they choose books based on the NYT best seller list (of which Bill O and Ann both were on) and by demand.

After pointing out that both Bill and Ann were on the NYT best seller, she then informed me that a committee chooses the books, though she could not inform me of the committee members names (she said she didn't know, and she might not have). She said I could make a request for a certain book if I did not see it on the shelves.

That was not the point. The point was, they make easily accessible all sorts of left wing propaganda, but conservative stuff is like ordering pornography, ie, they will get it, if you request it, they just don't want to display it.....
