Wow! Surely the RP supporters can do more than 20-30 nutjobs on Sean's tail?

I love how you Obamatons totally ignore MSNBC's clear left-wing bias and cheerleading for Obama.

Fox News - Fair and Balanced. Even Hill&Bill thinks so now.

Yes, it's heartwarming to see how the wingnuts of the right have now embraced the Clintons.

Okay, i think this is the new low for you - you actually believe that the Clintons think that fox news is 'fair and balanced'. Fox News audience is weird. They just believe everything that is said on that station.

My statement was that Hannity is a chickenhawk.

You did understand that, right?

Perhaps a visual aid will assist your grasp of the concept...
Hannity was never drafted; Bill Clinton was and is a draft-dodger (and a genuine chickenhawk). You DID understand that, RIGHT?

Good for you. But your "clarification" wasn't necessary unless you needed some self-confirmation. Even though that channel refers to itself as Fox News, it's common knowledge that they're much more of a slanted commentary source than a news organization.

Quote:
Hannity was never drafted;
Nor did he volunteer. But he sure wants other guys to go off to war, because Bush says they should. And Hannity is a good little mouthpiece for the Bushies. He always toes the party line.

Quote:

Even though Clinton is a despicable draft dodger, he played no part in Bush's war. You obviously don't grasp the meaning of the term chickenhawk.

Maybe this will help:

Chickenhawk (politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Chickenhawk (also chicken hawk and chicken-hawk; sometimes designated after a person's name by [c.h.]) is a political epithet used in the United States to criticize a politician, bureaucrat, or commentator who strongly supports a war or other military action, but has never personally been in a war, especially if that person actively avoided military service when of draft age.

Perhaps now you'll understand. You're more than welcome.

More slanted than CNN or NBC (et. al.)? On what do you base that?

Volunteer means just that... volunteer. No one is forced to join, but those who don't aren't chickenhawks (except Clinton). Unless they were drafted and failed to show up (again, just ask Clinton). And you obviously DON'T listen to or watch Hannity because he criticizes Bush quite often. So you are wrong about that one.

So only those who have served in the military should be able to have an opinion of wars? What happened to free speech?

Perhaps now YOU will understand, because everything you posted was inaccurate! And, incidentally, Hannity didn't "avoid" serving... Hannity and I are the same age. We both registered with the selective service when we turned 18 years old.

This is so hilarious. For years and years and years, all networks and cable news channels have catered to and shown their bias to the liberals. Now, there's one cable news channel that actually gives both sides of the story and liberals can't stand it.

But then again, it just shows the double standard mentality of most liberals.

So true. You would think they would just accept the fact that there is (finally) a cable news station which doesn't lean left. After all, fair is fair.

True again. But remember, at least they are "open minded," or so they say.

Observation.

Go back and this time read the description of chickenhawk. The key is their enthusiastic support for Bush's war after avoiding service in their own time. This has been clearly pointed out to you, but you seem to be immune to information.

Quick! Look over there!

Are you still comfortable in your little world where patriotism equates to Bush support? 23% of America is still with you. Are the rest of us (including veterans like myself) now traitors in your estimation? Remember, you can't avoid reality. You can only avoid looking at it.
