” I knew a guy in high school who looked EXACTLY like Carl. I’m sure you did, too.”
And they are now in the media exacting their revenge........
The noobs and their threads are ruining FR.
Please, don’t diminish someone’s sincerity because they are new. It’s such an elitist attitude!
You named two of my favorites....I love Cavuto....and Megan is sharp! I like it when Laura Ingram is on too! ;-)
I just hope that Carl Cameron and FoxNews Channel apologize to Sarah.
btt
Please check out the McCain staff list and let me know which Romney people you are falsely accusing. I think there is one guy in an upper level position and he is in Iowa.
Former campaign advisor. Hopefully no Republican will ever employ him again.
NY Times does it every day on the last page.
Fox is now like MSNBC, something to be proud of, eh Fox?
Oh who cares. I am dumping them off my cable service.
Whatever happened to journalism when you had to get two (2) sources confirming the same facts in order to report it? One source even if it is unsubstantiated is ok now.
The world’s oldest profession has more credibility than what passes off as journalism today. The MSM are the generator and spreader LIES, CONFUSION, and DESPAIR. They will be all held accountable for their deeds.

Mitt Romney has always opposed same-sex marriage. He diligently lobbied Congress in favor of a Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) to the U.S. Constitution defining marriage to be between one man and one woman. Romney testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on the Federal Marriage Amendment, and sent a letter to all 100 U.S. Senators on June 2, 2006 asking them to vote for the Amendment. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani oppose the FMA.
Institute For Marriage and Public Policy President Maggie Gallagher, writing for National Review Online, wrote that the Governor’s testimony on the issue before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee was “the single most eloquent and articulate defense of our traditional understanding of marriage I have heard from an American politician.”
(Maggie Gallagher, “In Defense Of The Family,” National Review Online, 6/25/2004)
Governor Romney: “Some argue that our principles of federalism and local control require us to leave the issue of same sex marriage to the states—which means, as a practical matter, to state courts. Such an argument denies the realities of modern life and would create a chaotic patchwork of inconsistent laws throughout the country. Marriage is not just an activity or practice which is confined to the border of any one state. It is a status that is carried from state to state. Because of this, and because Americans conduct their financial and legal lives in a united country bound by interstate institutions, a national definition of marriage is necessary.”
(”The Importance of Protecting Marriage”, Letter from Gov. Romney to U.S. Senators, 6/02/2006)
Governor Romney: “A lot of people get confused that gay marriage is about treating gay people the same as treating heterosexual people, and that’s not the issue involved here.”
“This is about the development and nurturing of children. Marriage is primarily an institution to help develop children, and children’s development, I believe, is greatly enhanced by access to a mom and a dad.”
“I think every child deserves a mom and a dad, and that’s why I’m so consistent and vehement in my view that we should have a federal amendment which defines marriage in that way.”
(George Stephanopoulos, “Mitt Romney: The Complete Interview,” ABC News This Week, 2/18/2007) • (Mitt TV Clip)
Governor Romney: “I oppose discrimination against gay people. I am not anti-gay. I know there are some Republicans, or some people in the country who are looking for someone who is anti-gay and that’s not me.”
(Brendan Farrington, “Romney: I am not anti-gay,” The Associated Press, 5/24/2007)
When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in the case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Health legalized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, Gov. Romney identified and enforced a little-known 1913 state law that forbids nonresidents from marrying in Massachusetts if their marriage would not be recognized in their home state. This prevented gay couples living outside Massachusetts from flocking to MA to be married and then returning to their home states to demand the marriages be recognized, thus opening the door for nationwide same-sex marriage. Implementation of the 1913 law was contested in court by same-sex couples from outside MA, but the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in March, 2006 to uphold the application of the law.
(Jay Lindsay, “Mass. high court says nonresident gays cannot marry in state,” The Associated Press, 3/30/2006)
Gov. Romney provided active support for a citizen petition drive in 2005 that collected 170,000 signatures for a state constitutional amendment protecting marriage, breaking a 20-year-old record for the most certified signatures ever gathered in support of a proposed ballot question. He rallied citizens to place pressure on the Legislature for failing, through repeated delays, to fulfill their constitutional obligation to vote on placing the marriage amendment on the ballot. Gov. Romney filed suit in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) asking the court to clarify the legislators’ duty to vote on the issue of the amendment, or place the amendment on the ballot if the Legislature failed to act. The SJC declared that legislators had a constitutional duty to vote on the petition in a ruling handed down on Dec. 27, 2006. The suit was successful in pressuring the Legislature to vote on the issue of the amendment. A vote was taken on January 2, 2007 and the measure passed. Through Governor Romney’s considerable efforts and leadership, a state constitutional amendment defining marriage to be between one man and one woman passed a critical hurdle to get it placed on the 2008 ballot where voters in Massachusetts would have the power to restore traditional marriage in their state.
Update: Democrat Governor Deval Patrick, a proponent of gay marriage, lobbied Massachusetts lawmakers to kill the proposed constitutional amendment. In a vote of the MA Legislature on June 14, 2007 the amendment received 45 votes, failing to get the required 50 votes necessary to place the amendment on the 2008 ballot. The measure needed 50 votes in two consecutive legislative sessions to advance to the ballot, and it had passed with 62 votes at the end of the last session in January. Commenting on the latest vote, former Gov. Mitt Romney said, “Today’s vote by the State Legislature is a regrettable setback in our efforts to defend traditional marriage. Unfortunately, our elected representatives decided that the voice of the people did not need to be heard in this debate. It is now even more important that we pass a Constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage. Marriage is an institution that goes to the heart of our society, and our leaders can no longer abdicate their responsibility.”
(Steve LeBlanc, “No Gay Marriage Vote for Massachusetts,” The Associated Press, 6/14/2007)

Uh duuh, don’t know boss, you tell me how it’s done. You are such a great example of how to treat others, I would look forward to your insight on everything.
Has Carl Cameron confirmed that this was or was not his source?
We are all on the same team (’cept the DU trolls). We were also all new once. Let’s work together.
You poor person... You must really be confused to post this twice. Imagine a old duffer like me trying find another way to trash Karl Cameroon after the beating I gave him last week...
Carl Cameron couldn’t confirm whether his mother had any children who lived.
