I just heard an interview with Juan Williams on the John Gibson radio show...and Juan went on and on about how Israel is the "occupying power"...and how this wouldn't be happening if Israel hadn't come into Israel and pushed the Palestinians of THEIR land...

John didn't even question him...JUST let him ramble.

[RDTF]

LOl can you say Damn on tv?

[austinaero]

I am so sick of this discussion of 'restraint'! Seriously, it is a non-discussion. It is a stupid question. Why is it up to Israel to exercise restraint? Geeez,,it's a no-win discussion!

[Miss Marple]

Oh, you are kidding me! They really promoed Scarborough with that stupid comment?

I tell you, those folks at MSNBC are completely round the bend!

[RDTF]

That is the argument all liberals have, every single time. They just don't get it.

Now John should not only keep him off his show - he should have cut him off.

[SE Mom]

Excellent points. Newt does adore the sound of himself pontificating:) He does what I do sometimes...REACT..before I ponder. He was disgraceful during Katrina. It's one thing to pick up the phone and say, Mr. President...I have some advice..it's another to do it on the public airwaves.

[jhp]

Remember, a lot of Freepers think that Saddam's WMD went to Lebanon to Hezbullah.

Also Syria is one the world's largest producers of chemical weapons.

Well, we might just find out for sure by the end of this conflict

Nice rebuttal on Colmes by Netenyahu. He ****-Slapped someone else earlier today(Name of personality and network would be nice.)

[BlessedByLiberty]

Please add me to the "fed up with Newt's advice to President Bush" routine. It frustrates me because I generally enjoy Newt's perspective.

When he is in his "Running for President" mode he sounds like carping liberals.

[Miss Marple]

I have a whole list of people who lost my support and purchases after Katrina. I also have some who lost it for other hot-button issues over the winter.

I got to the point where the only person I could listen to was Tony Snow (even bought XM radio in order to hear him) and then he went to work for the White House! LOL!

I find I do much better reading FR. I can listen to the pundits only when I am on FR as well.

Netenyahu really has made Colmes look stupid, by the way.

Netenyahu really has made Colmes look stupid, by the way.

My labrador could make Colmes look stupid.

WOOO HOOOOO Bibi...He explained the facts AGAIN to Alan about the family on the beach.

Bibi still sounds very strong...he hasn't started coming down on Olmert yet...I don't think Israel is going to back off.

I think this is what you are referring to. Bibi slapped Tucker for a stupid question about what Israel is doing to help get Americans out of Lebanon.

[Conservababe]

Do yall think Condi should go to Israel after their admonishments not to do so yet?

[Sunshine55]

Is Rebel_yell2 on his way home?

[yield 2 the right]

I thought so, thank you very much.

[SE Mom]

I know! The only one I really trust on tv is Brit.

I work from my home office- so I have the tv on FOX most of the day- but unless something is happening..it's on MUTE:) Funny you mentioned that- I can listen if I can FReep!
