Every time I watch a fox show I see their lies.
Its easy for regular folks who don't have their heads in the sand.
So how many people would I need to surround myself with that carried guns everywhere and were always dressed in military fatigues before you considered me a militant?
The man grew up with a communist loving mother. A socialist loving father. A devout communist father figure who followed them around and at one point crossed the pacific ocean to do so. He has carried that same type of people around throughout his whole life and no matter how many people he throws under the bus to push the political agenda and how many people are willing to acquiesce to help him only a the willingly blind can dismiss an entire life of "acquaintances".

You hang around Fox News? Then you are probably fascist.
Fox News invokes 9 of the 14 defining characteristics of fascism!
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need."
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed
to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
There is growing evidence that Fox is no longer a news channel.
It's a good tactic for leftist fanatics to try to tell people the Fox isn't a news channel.
That way they can get people discussing whether Fox is a news channel, and avoid discussing the faults Fox keeps finding with Obama and the legislation his administration keeps churning out.
Considering that the leftists generally can't refute the facts Fox keeps pointing out, what better tactic could they come up with, than to change the subject under discussion?

It's not changing the subject, it's attacking the messenger. Straight out of the Alinsky playbook - marginalize the opposition, and hopefully nobody will take them seriously. In this case, it happens to be backfiring. Oops!

Yep, The more you poke the conservatives the more they squirm and holler foul!
The story Rather was pursuing wasn't false. Bush's guard service was dismal. That's been common knowledge for years. The document he presented proved to be phony. As a result, Rather was fired from his post at CBS.
Because he is an anti-Bush leftist, Rather went ahead and reported the story without having it verified first.
Bush's "dismal" service? He received an honorable discharge with the rank of Lt. He made up for any time missed.
A lot better than Bill Clinton's military record... oh, wait. I almost forgot- Bill Clinton was a draft-dodger!
