Democratic congressional candidate Mike Dickinson recently promised to wage “war” on the NRA, Tea Party and Fox News. On Thursday, he was confronted by Greta Van Susteren in a tense exchange that ended with an embarrassing admission.

“Why do you hate me?” Van Susteren asked, immediately getting to business.

Dickinson, who is challenging Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in November, said he has a problem with her network as a whole.

Then Van Susteren dropped the hammer by exposing a lie Dickinson once told about being CEO of a company.

“That’s really bad to portray yourself not as who you are, right?” Van Susteren began, knowing exactly where she was going. She then read a letter Dickinson sent to a Virginia newspaper in which he falsely claimed to be the CEO of Mid-Atlantic Show Clubs, a cluster of strip clubs.

“I consulted for them, I did,” Dickinson said in his defense.

“It says CEO of Mid-Atlantic. Were you the CEO?” Van Susteren pressed.

“You got me there,” Dickinson admitted, looking embarrassed.

The problem being is that if we win the best we can hope for is Eric Cantor.

Yes, she pretty much eviscerated him. But realize that, even doing this, getting him to admit it, he turns right around with a smile on his face and keeps on plugging. Telling the same old lies, spouting the same old Democrat blather -an homage to the old saying “tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

They (Democrats) count on their followers being idiots and leeches who only care about me, me, me. Or, Republican RINO Establishment telling their loyal followers all the neat stuff they’re for and gonna do - yet never following through.

The truth really does not matter anymore.

Correct. Issues don't matter. What matters with them is whether they get their freebies; so long as they do, they'll continue to push the RAT button at election time. Not a bad deal: vote for me and I'll give you stuff.

“I’m all for sacrificing a seat or two to a rat to get Boehner or cantor out”

I have read that House Conservatives are planning to stage a coup after November elections. Problem is Cantor is next in line to replace Boehner. Will be interesting to watch this unfold....

He joins a long list of rat liars, many claiming war service that didn’t happen, plus at least one rino, Republican Senator Mark Kirk.

I was going to say something about CEO=evil to the democrat party, but then I saw “strip club” so guess that makes it ok.

Greta's segment with the porn candidate was nightmarish overtalking babble. O'Reilly's and Hannity's shows are all overtalking and stepping on lines now.....and fights with crazy guests. Sean is tone deaf and unable to get into the rhythmic flow needed for intelligent interviews. He interrupts constantly with vacuous remarks, harming the guests' trains of thought. O'Reilly's interviews are now merely platforms for his own lengthy opinions.

My jaw dropped when Greta wished that loony Larry Flynt candidate "good luck" in his senatorial campaign at the end of the segment.

Hannity is getting even more repetitive in his parrot-like "x-million unemployed", "x-million on food stamps", "x-million this" and "x-million that" schtick. He can't help interrupting his guests every minute or so just to let folks know he's there and how erudite he is...too bad his comments are lightweight and often just ridiculous.....and never original.

The Fox evening lineup features more and more freak guests, like that Muslim PR flak featured on two successive Megan shows. Such incoherent shouting matches between hosts and guests are evidently "in", while intelligent, understandable discourse is "out".

When Greta's voice rises and speeds up she becomes totally unintelligible.

The under-informed O'Reilly and the boring GOPe agent-provocateur Karl Rove, are a babbling duo trying their best to muddle the Republican primaries beyond salvation. Neither of these two carnival spielers have any guiding conservative or constitutional principles whatsoever. Their dueling-banjos segments bear this out.

BOR's interviews have degenerated into mere platforms for his Hamlet soliloquies. The other night he ranted the whole segment while his two guests sat like waxen figures from Madame Tussaud's museum. One of the guests actually managed to get ONE personal observation in during the total segment.

The Fox evening lineup is becoming unwatcheable and unlistenable. The three hours are now more tabloid, more insulting to our intelligence and more uncomfortable. The hosts are become more aggressive, angry, confrontational and interruptive.

Maybe the network thinks this is what people want. Maybe the shows are just reflective of the unsettling times we're trying our best to live through.

Just some of my random observations, in no order whatsoever. I'm interested in other "Fox News" evening-lineup comments....and I promise no one's opinions will be interrupted, lol.

"You still put him on and in my mind that's kinda grandise."

WTF is "grandise"? He doesn't even speak his native tongue correctly.

What a greasy marble-mouthed slimeball. I'll bet twenty bucks he's got some bodies buried under his porch.
