That admission will probably come from the Left. Have you read "Liberal Fascism? by Jonah Goldberg?

Amazing how long it takes for the libs to realize it. Of course, we know they really do know it; they will just not admit it!

Yes, the alternative to big spending, big government, big taxation - the alignment that occurred on Tuesday.

Fox commentators are blatant conservatives, a group that only holds a 10% identity rate higher than Liberals, not something to be proud of. Yet they slant the news to their side, and lie about facts in order to make a political point.
What lies? They give the opposite talking points that the dems and left put out, that's what the Left doesn't like. Their narrative and memes are no longer taken at face value, but probed and prodded to expose the lies and half truths.

Conservative make up over 40% of this nation, whereas libs about 20% - that is not a 10% higher rate.

It's all over the news, blame the outlets that are reporting it.

This IS the PoC forum you know.

Be sure to call Glenn and let him know. He has taken up McCarthy's divine challenge to root out all those commies.

Jonah Goldberg? LOL...Speaking of fascists....

Who in their right mind would read a whole book by Jonah Goldberg? I wouldn't even read a grocery list if he wrote it.

Repeat: it is NOT illegal for someone to profess their preferences for socialism or communism in the United States.

Exactly. If people read more books on economics 101 and understood that capitalism isnt working now, maybe they wouldnt have to watch the trash media to get their sources. All the media is bought and paid for, by corporate America.

Well, you should. Always a good idea to read not only to back up what you believe, but to get an idea or different perspective from the "other side." Keeps you open minded as well as informed on what your opposition is up to! I recently read Saul Alinsky's, "Rules for Radicals." Being a conservative, myself, it was quite an eye-opener. It really is good to be well-informed with a balance of information.

A socialist "comes out of the closet"

Hmmm I wonder what type comes out of the closet next?

FOX News Bias Evidence (http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/foxbias.htm - broken link)

Just because they have some left commentators from time to time, doesn't mean they aren't biased towards the right.

If i read books regarding politics and policy, they're almost always conservative with the exception of Thom Hartmann. I don't watch liberal TV programming more than an hour or so a week, nor do i listen to liberal radio programming for more than a few segments a week. I'm not interested in listening to people that i already agree with with few exceptions.

But Jonah Goldberg? No thanks. He's a kid and rarely has anything interesting to say IMO. I'd much rather read something from Michael Medved or Thomas Sowell. Goldberg is simply too much of a sycophant and Republican blue blood for my taste. Hell, even Cal Thomas is more interesting than him.
