Rush hasn't been on TV for about 15 years but I did get to listen to him this afternoon.

The link that was supposed to be there when you looked is now on the OP and it doesn't come from LImbaugh, either.

And..?

This forum isn't large enough to contain all of Fox's mistakes.
And let's not even bring up Limbaugh's boners.
Schieffer used to fool lots of people but I watch him every Sunday morning and have caught him doing this trick more than once. Limbaugh was trying to make Schieffer out to be the good guy and I agree with Kurtz and Kelly.

Watch the video on the link and read the transcript and then throw some more Pelosi at me.

Most have little in the way of hard or useful news,so why bother?

I did try to read everything I could find (other than Fox's BS) on the subject and I didn't find much. What I did find was not very significant,IMHO.
The fact that the other media outlets haven't hopped all over this during such a slow news cycle like this,seems to confirm my beliefs.

I see (and personally experience) "blatant racism" every day.It's hardly newsworthy. It's sudden ABENCE would..but it's presence is just constant reminder of what it's like to be a minority in this country.

As I stated,CBS' Schieffer has more "cred" than Fox and Limbaugh combined. If he whiffs on a minor story...then it's a minor detail.

You're point is...?

Face The Nation is a bunch of pundits sitting around,navel-gazing about inside the Beltway issues. It's hardly a source of hard news and probably shouldn't be seen as one.

If Bob Schieffer whiffs on what is hardly an "earth-shattering" news story...so what? More likely than not,by this time next week,this whole thing will be back page news,replaced by another "scandal" or a "How's Lindsay doing in jail" update.

Fox...as usual..has dredged up yet another mediocre story and attempted to make it headline news. Another swing and a miss.

The black panthers intimidating voters at an election station with a weapon and racist slogans is not the big story. The big story was the Obama Justice Dept dropping all the charges against the black panthers when the justice dept was about to win their case by default. Even though they had video evidence of the voter intimidation at the polling station, Eric Holder (and possibly his boss, Obama) felt there wasn't enough evidence to make the case that the justice dept had already won. THAT is the big story he missed or chose to ignore.

The highlighted part explains your obvious and blatant ignorance. Either you live in an extremely racist area or I'm raising the BS flag on you. My wife is black and I'm sure she would've mentioned facing blatant racism every day if that was ever the case. However, she didn't, because it isn't like that. It is found here and there, but is not even close to what it used to be. Don't believe me? Check out some old videos on youtube or something like that. I was checking out some old commercials today and was amazed at how blatant the racism was in them. Not a damn thing like what you find today, or with those ignorant and racist fools known as the new black panther party. Those animals are just over the top in their racism and they should be condemned as well as punished for their actions. Instead they were given a pass and anybody that does that deserves to be called out for the POS that they are.

That NBPP story has been so overblown by Fox it's pathetic. There were THREE guys, very stupid guys, one of them shouting out stupid stuff in 2008, and your guys at FOX are trying to make that into some huge and scary thing! Geeezzzz Do you really think people that STUPID could come up with any ideas which would ACTUALLY WORK in terms of "attacks" on "white people"? LOL I don't.
I guess you don't know a lot more about this case than Schieffer did that Sunday. I watched that show, as I do every Sunday, and was overcome by the fact that he didn't ask Holder about that case. In case you don't know the story is that the whistleblower was told from the top of things that they could never take a case of blacks against white victims but always would take the opposite thing, The AG is fast cooking his goose and will probably be the next one to be forced to resign because of all his foolishness.

I bet you didn't even look at the link offered you but you make noise like you didn't need to because you know all about that "conspiracy".

You need to understand that the poster doesn't yet know about that story and is willing to call it minor because some left leaning "journalists" tried to kill it just as they did so many more things.

I can't wait to see how they try to make the fact that Obama told us over and over that he wouldn't raise taxes on the middle class and then sat back and watched Harry Reid and his buddies insert all kinds of taxes in the damned thing. Now Obama has been backed into the corner and is finally admitting that the money people get to pay is actually taxes.

My favorite story about the Obamacare law is that in January all employers who provide health care will have to report every penny they pay on each employee and the workers will have to pay income taxes on that amount of money. This will force some of them into higher brackets and I just can't wait to see how unhappy they will be, Democrats and Republicans. He better start running tomorrow to get far enough away from them to keep from being tarred and feathered.

Remember that the story is minor to progs because they really don't know about it from getting all their news from left leaning sources.

So you get all your news from al Times, DC Post, LA Times and like that. No wonder you don't know about that huge story. They tried to keep it hidden but finally had to give in. Minor is only in the brain of those who get all their news from the left leaning sources but then you don't mind not knowing about this story, and I know why.
