Really? you people will believe anything. MM is filled with hate mongers and you should be ashamed for even going to their site.
I dont know what is more contemptable Media Matters or the dupes that buy the crack they are selling.
Media Matters simply brings attention to all of the lies that conservatives tell. Your characterization of Media Matters as hate mongers is evidence of the very thing that the noble people of Media Matters fight against.
The best thing Media Matters has done is essentially turning the so called “conservative media” into a joke, which they are. Media Matters has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt to the world that Fox News does nothing but distorted reality and lie.
Ok lets break this down realistically, many people in this country take part in a form of socialism (Va hospital, medicare ect), every progessive person can be considered to be a radical whenever you go against the established norms (ending slavery, civil rights, women having the right to vote ect), anyone who has lived in a "bad neighborhood" knows personally a "domestic terrorist" (gang bangers, drug dealers and truthfully some politicians who deliberately push for bad laws). I don't understand what the deal is with the scholarship thing is but was it illegal?
Now if you really want to be fair go down the list regarding bush's negatives for his 2 terms: Torture which was against the Geneva convention signed by the U.S, Starting a illegal war with a soverign country (don't give that crap about congress said that it was ok either), possibly falsifying military records/not attending required drills ect, ect
I detest Rush but. This post is a bunch of blather that does nothing but deflect and minimize.
If you use a gov program you are a socialist? yes and if you withdraw money from a bank you are a bank robber.
If someone believes it was right to free the slaves they are the same as the grand Dragon of the clan. they are all radicals don't you know.
Growing up in the hood means that you knew some gang bangers? Ok Ill give that one too you. But it doesn't mean that you were friends.
Geneva convention I do believe that covers uniformed soldiers. I doont agree with torture but distorting the genva convention is total bs.
illegal war? Did Congress some how get side stepped in the decision making process? Illegal where? Here or in the international court? You might not want the crap about congress but quite honestly Bush obeyed the laws. How about this. Dont give that Crap that congress was lied to.
Falsifying military records. You of course have proof besides you know he said she said?
Party Hardliners. Regardless of which party they are sucking up to they sound exactly alike and do the exact same things.
His father (whom he never really new) may have been a socialist of some stripe, although that makes it difficult to explain why he was so harshly critical of the socialist government he worked for in Kenya. But his mother spent the bulk of her professional career bringing explicitly Western capitalist values to the third world poor through the development and implementation of micro-credit and micro-finance models.
His step-father (whom he knew only briefly) was an executive in a oil company... a decidedly non-socialist profession.
And his grandparents (who actually raised him) were respectively a salesman and a bank VP... hardly socialist.

I suppose you mean Frank Marshall Davis... a man who was a friend of his grandfather's. I gotta tell you... I know all sorts of stories regarding the friends of my grandfather too. None of them were my friends or mentors.

Gong!!! The relationship between Obama and Bill Ayers has been done to death. It is simply a lie that never dies that they were ever friends.

Gong!!! There is no evidence that Obama received any scholarships at all for his college.

I am often puzzled at the complete fiction that right-wing nut-jobs have assembled around this president. Bill Maher has pointed out that back when lefties were hating on Bush, they were at least hating on the real guy... attacking him for things he actually did and said.
But the Obama of conservative fever dreams is worse than a caricature... he is often a total fabrication. Almost nothing used in the personal attacks against him generally turns out to be true upon examination. He has never made the tiniest effort to take away your guns. He is recognized everywhere outside of the US as a "center right" politician. And his policies have breathed not a hint of the Marxism/communism of which he is constantly accused.
What would possible inspire such foamingly irrational behavior on the part of the Obama haters? why... if Obama were genuinely that bad... is it a straw man you guys attack rather than the real guy?

Yes exactly and as unbiased as Rush or Fox news does.
The noble people? Do you know them all personally? What noble endeavors can we credit them with?
hardliners ROFLMAO Im glad I logged on today. LOL

Media Matters is very clear about their focus and goal, which is exposing conservative lies in the media. They are biased in the same way a tax attorney is toward focusing on tax law. Fox News is biased in the same way an insane drug addicted homeless person is toward only presenting the crazy perspective.
I personally know most of the people involved in leadership positions at Media Matters.
Lol! What libs do on slow days, they work up a little phoney anger and bash Rush.
