Trash journalism doesn't really get much of my sympathy when controversy finds its way on to them.

Meh.
Without Columbus and his band of sinners who followed, most of us wouldn't even be here. Possibly, if most of our ancestors had died over there than they did at that time. Europe was de-populated by disease and wars for several centuries, but by the 15th century, was beginning to fill up again, and a large population always starts folks looking for new territory. That's what homo sapiens does.

Bu sooner or later, half of the world was bound to be discovered, and plunder and glory have always been a spark plugs for exploration. It wasn't as if the New World was hard to find- all they had to do was stay live and keep floating until they bumped into it.

If not Columbus, it would have been some other bunch of Europeans who did the exploiting. They all raped the natives- Spain just got here firstest with the mostest. A twist of fate could have changed the group of explorers, but not the outcome.

I'm not sure that this has much to do with the topic being discussed, though.

It wasn't discovered. European Supremacy won't allow you to say the obvious. It wasn't a discovery. It was an invasion . It changed the course of history and genocide was committed. There isn't an Arrowok or Carib left thanks to Columbus. They didn't make good slaves . Since when do Christian's condone rape and slaughter. Ohhh i get it. All non Europeans are subhuman... Got it.

I believe that these three groups are almost certainly involved:

1.) Color of Change (they pulled similar tactics against ALEC-supporting companies over ALEC's support of voter ID in 2011. Also, they are a Soros group.)
2.) Media Matters (Soros Media mob )
3.) MoveOn.org (Another militant Soros group that helps him a lot)
Glad to see you're a proud supporting of men who commit sexual harassment. You must be proud.

As we have seen how much influence Soros had on the end results and just as the Koch brothers had influence in 2012 elections, we know that we the people decide.

Fox News will most likely lose tremendous amounts of viewers if Hannity will be off their network.

If FOX news was capable of separating the corporate agenda from the conservative agenda I might watch once in a while.

How often do they put on true conservatives like George Will and Pat Buchanan. Although I'm a liberal, I do listen to these guys. They think and they make me think.

o reilly and hannity are in lock step with soros on the issues which are most important to both

hannity and o reilly play to the gallery ( with regard conservative cultural issues ) but both are primarily shills for the 1%

soros is the ultimate capitalist , he views national and cultural heritage as an obstacle to corporate domination of the globe , his socially liberal movements ( which many on the left like amnesty international etc have been duped into supporting ) are trojan horses

o reilly while an obnoxious bully , had a strong intellect , hannity is a D student who happened to just get picked due to his complete lack of ethics and willingness to do what he,s told by the boss
