Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto is showing no remorse for an on-air crack about Osama bin Laden wearing a Kerry button that infuriated John Kerry's campaign.
Cavuto told viewers last week that his "thin-skinned" and "humorless critics seem to have selective memory." Recalling all the Democrats he's had on his show, Cavuto dismissed "threats from Democrats who now say they will boycott my show. I say, go ahead. Boycott me. Fair and balanced, I'll continue to invite you, and I'll let my viewers know when you decline -- each and every time you do."

Very instructive of how liberals (socialists) do not understand capitalism & free markets. The people don't want to hear their rant (Air America & the like) - but they do want to hear Cavuto & other conservatives. Modern day liberals are dangerous because of their intolerance towards any point of view but their own.

This helps my feelings. I like Cavuto better now. I didn't think he seemed too happy about our giant win. I'm very glad I was wrong. I felt like Shep Smith was a little snide, too. Hope I was wrong there, too.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if he has any dems or libs on his show. Their absence would only improve his show.
So true. I wish they would give the host a big air horn. Every time, a rat qualified his/her statement with "but" blast the horn to note everything they just said was a lie.
I support the troops but (BLAAAAAAAAPPPP)....
Freeing 25 million people is important but (BLAAAAAAAAPPPP)....
Iraq had WMD's but (BLAAAAAAAAPPPP)....
We've heard their talking points. Stay home until you get some more.

Without this huge and shameless bias on the part of the media Bush would have won by 15% or more. He did the impossible. He got the word out over the heads of a lying, obstructing, pimping press corps who never gave him a photo op or a constructive headline.
ROTFLOL This great description is quite an accomplishment! ;)

Evans? did state their coverage was worth 15% for Kerry. Substract that 15%, we arrive at landslide proportions with gains in House and Senate to boot. The MSM/DNC know Bush's win equaled a mandate because they well understand the obstacles placed in his way.
Gotta hand it to Cavuto. He stood up to Kerry prior to the election. Most of the FOX team, saving Gibson, Hannity, occasionally Brit & Barnes, was either a) supporting Kerry b) intimtaed by Kerry's "red" styled attack led by his lawyers.

I single handedly won the cold war, I double handedly won the hot war, and I underhandedly won the Vietnam war! That is to say, I am a supercalifragalistic, ultramegamagnificient war hero, and I've got all the medals to prove it !!! George W. Bush will NOT keep me from attaining me lifelong dream of being president of the United States. My concession is legally meaningless, and right now my aids are busy removing the manhole covers from every sewer that surrounds the White House. Very soon I will squat down over one of those cover-less manholes and perform my own patented brand of KERRyORISM !!!
I have stuffed myself with 20 pounds of baked beans (covered with Heinz Ketchup, of course), and when I squat down over one of those holes and boom away with multiple magnificently melodious farts it will blow the roof off the White House !!!
Yes, I'm the "SEWERSIDE BOOMER" !!!
My name is JOhnKERry and I approve this message !!!

I don't know why the Birkenstockers think that Fox is "Right wing", as if that's to be abhorred. It has more nuts, like Jerry Rivers, than most shows. Tonight some empty skirt made a grand fuss over the inventor of the suicide bomber belt. That said, Cavuto and Hannity and even O'Reilly tend to throw sand into the eyes of the anointed, and it is always refreshing when they do so.

The funny thing about this is that these self-important Democrats seem to think that their boycotting the show would somehow hurt the ratings.
Is there really anyone out there sitting down with the TV remote thinking to themselves, "Well, it's time to watch Cavuto...oh wait a minute- there aren't any liberal political hack talking heads on that show anymore, so there's no sense in watching."

If they give him any crap he chould just head-butt them. :) That would be excessive force!
To: latina4dubya
the thing i love about Neil Cavuto is it didn't take a Bush victory for him to display that he has a spine... the guy tells it like it is... he's one of my two faves on Fox News...Of course the other would be Brit Hume (runner-up: Jon Gibson)?
