I'm sure if Fox or Rush did a poll, it would be the other way around.

That being said, politicians should not run their own morals on "polls".. and as much as I think the statement was wrong, and over the line, Stark is entitled to his opinion and should not apologize to Bush. In fact he should continue to move his mouth and show everyone what he's made off..

He is entitled to be wrong and he is entitled to mouth off over having his socialistic bill be defeated. I think his feelings were hurt.

The only thing this poll represents is that the vast majority who watch CNN and answer their poll questions are anti-American, anti-military, and leftist, nothing more.
How do you draw that conclusion without knowing anything about anyone of those who might have participated in the CNN poll? That’ absurd to say anyone is anti-American or anti-military, or leftist because YOU think the poll numbers reflect something other then your opinion.

He said what he felt and obviously was expressing his TRUE feelings. While I will agree that sometimes we must keep our emotions in check, the reality is why the h*ll are we always asking someone to apologize When people say things, they USUALLY mean what they say. In essence, to come back around the corner and apologize IMO is being FAKE.

Fear not! The Communist News Network (CNN) has lost millions of viewers in the last two decades with their obvious anti-American, anti-military, leftist propaganda. Only the extreme left support their bull these days, which is all this poll reflects.



As the above graph represents, CNN and MSNBC's profits have remained relatively static since 1997, whereas Fox's profits are more indicative of the population growth. So as the old adage says "consider the source!"

Polls like this one merely serve to give real polls a bad name...

I dont feel an apology is nessasary. Bush is a public figure and such media attention comes with the terretory. Did Kerry apologize to the many vietnam vets that he slandered? NO
has Ted kennedy apologize for his transgretions ? NO
Has hillary and company apologized for her outragous statements against our troops? NO
They actually owe an apology.
Stark stated his opinion valid or not this is the USA and we are allowed an opinion accurate or not.

I'm thinking about marketing a new bumper-sticker that reads OUR TROOPS SUCK. I mean, if the cons are right and that's really what all liberals think, starting of course with Hillary Clinton, I ought to be able to rake in quite a pile over this. Whaddya think???

I might sign on as a commissioned salesperson, but I ain't going to put it on my car; it will interfere with my other liberal biases.
