Right Wing Pundits are Damaging America
Posted: Jan 17, 2015
There's no question that the people like the right wing pundits -- left wing too, to a degree, but they are dwarfed by the right wing -- have done a lot of damage to this country in my opinion, I don't consider that journalism, I consider that to be advocacy."
Jones added of O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and Fox's Sean Hannity, "I don't think that they don't believe what they say, I just wish that they looked at the world in a different way, something more constructive."
He added, "it's more catering to what will draw an audience rather than what is important ... if anything it's the shift toward what has been thought of as the local television model, anything that will attract a crowd, but not necessarily invested in issues and in policy questions and in political debates and things that are of genuine importance."

No, it's ignorance that is damaging America. - sm

What's really bad is when one of them (Rand Paul, I think but I could be wrong) calls social security a "hand-out." Say what? We've been paying into that! Or how about Paul Ryan, who thinks that all the unemployed do all day long is "lie in hammocks" instead of getting a job? Enough said.... ...

This is NOT from The Onion- these people are serious. WTF???There’s good news where the Lord is concerned and bad news these days.

Political PunditsJul 23, 2013
Is anyone else here put off by political pundits? I don't care if they're democrat or republican, they all get under my skin. Half the time, they're just spouting crap to get their troops all riled up and boost ratings. They often yell, cut people off and mock their callers. I enjoy reading the news and don't need it spoonfed to me by some partisan blowhard. I don't care who they are! Anybody else agree? ...
For The Misinformed Political Pundits On Here That Aug 15, 2012
It is possible to be a marxist, communist, fascist, and socialist and practice some or all of these believes individually or concurrently (that means at the same time), please crack a book and educate yourself. Obviously, the politically uninformed on this board have no idea what these "isms" represents or mean. They all end up in the same dung heap. Now flame.

Conservative Pundits: Obama Summit Logo A âMuslim CrescentâApr 15, 2010
By Daniel TencerWednesday, April 14th, 2010 -- 3:09 pm For the second time in the past few months, conservative commentators see something sinister in an Obama administration logo. Following a controversy in February over what some said was a "Muslim crescent" in the logo of the US Missile Defense Agency, some commentators are saying they see the same thing in the thin, white crescent that borders the logo of President Barack Obama's Nuclear Security Summit. "That’s weird … ...

The Reign Of Right-Wing PrimetimeNov 12, 2010
(HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) — We'll name a hit TV show, and you guess if it's more popular among Republicans or Democrats. First, "NCIS" — investigating military crimes on CBS. Safe bet conservatives love it, right? How about ABC's "Desperate Housewives" — a racy soap, female audience? Little more tricky. Now things get tough: CBS's geeky, atheist-friendly "The Big Bang Theory," Fox's megarated "American Idol," ABC's progressive ...

Is Homeland Security Wary About Reporting on Right-Wing Extremists? Despite a recent upsurge in threats and violence by far-right groups and loners, the Homeland Security Department appears gun-shy about reporting or monitoring the trend too closely. Domestic security and counterterrorism officials say that even though, in light of recent events, a controversial report issued a year ago by Homeland Security about a "resurgence" in far-right radicalization and recruitment appears well i ...

There's nothing like an election to bring out violent hatemongers, the narrow-minded bigots and the just plain intolerant extremists.
