I wish all DUers were watching this Republican Debate (Fox Noise)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

Watching the pug debate on FOX here... It's like "Scared Straight." Really puts the petty back and forth of DU in perspective.

It's jaw-clenching... listening to them talk, I feel like snakes are crawling on me.

Rudy really is Mussolini. "If Hillary wins, our military morale will collapse and the Islamofascists will win."

The hate America sooooo much. All they talk about is the apocalyptic destruction of America, and it gets a standing ovation every time.

[TwilightZone]

1. They need to accelerate the apocalypse so that...

they can get to the rapture.

[Olney Blue]

2. I'm watching, but it's giving me a headache.

[Nite Owl]

3. I didn't even realize there

was one tonight! I did the last repuke debate, it was nauseating to watch. How can any one of these fools even be getting near 50% in the polls.

[slick8790]

4. I'm watching.

They spend WAY too much time talking about hillary. it's obscene. her name is mentioned more here than in the democratic debates...yeesh...

[Skink]

5. Relax the Sox are up 2-0.

It's be nice to get some good sound bites from this though. Like Guliani bringing up the Laser.

[Traveling_Home]

12. GO ROCKIES!! nt

[tridim]

13. I'm switching between the Avalanche, the Broncos and the AL game..

No time to watch a bunch of old, white guys talking about how we're all going to die. Thank the sport gawds.

[gateley]

15. That IS good news! I was afraid to check. nt

[Monk06]

39. Skrew you. Village is a classist term and Hilary hates kittens. That's series.

[Monk06]

41. Self delete due to self post

[LWolf]

6. Why would I want to raise my stress levels?

It's unhealthy. I already know they are bad news. They've already lost my respect and gained my enmity. Why give them more air time in my home?

[Olney Blue]

7. McCain says that America needs "straight talk".

[Clintonista2]

11. I think that means he wants you to change the channel...

No straight talk over there.

[jefferson_dem]

14. Actually, I found it interesting that he followed Ghouliani and Mittens

and emphasized how "when he debates Hillary" it will be respectful and will be over policy, not personality. "That's what America wants." You know what...he's right.

[Olney Blue]

18. McCain just made a funny. When he looked in Putins eyes he saw

three letters: KGB.

[Bryan]

38. McCain is totally off the map

Judging by his post-show interview, he wants to restart the Cold War. He wouldn't shut up about Putin.

"I'd kick (Russia) out of the G8 in a New York minute."

[Olney Blue]

45. He is not going to get the GOP nomination. Thankfully.

[Colobo]

8. I'm watching.

[baldguy]

9. Note to Rudi - the "Islamofascists" ARE winning! GOP policies require that they win!

[jefferson_dem]

10. I'm watching.

Do we even live in the same universe as these freak shows? So much vitriol. Oh man, do they hate Hillary. Her name has come up over and over and over.

It does put things into perspective, however. Once our nominee is selected and goes head-to-head with whatever knuckle-draggin' loser they choose, we Dems will be totally united and in good shape.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

16. Theyre laughing at Bush for being a pussy, not a real fascist like they are

Audience laughs at Bush's cluelessness re: Putin

[gateley]

17. Fear. Just like Naomi Wolf talks about in her book. They're on target. nt

[L0oniX]

19. (_o_)

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Olney Blue]

20. I miss Brownback

NOT

[rwheeler31]

21. Desperate Housewives is pretty good tonight.

[CC]

22. I found the v-chip to be a great addition to

the TV. I have Fox permanently blocked from all tvs in our house.

[Yael]

23. I just turned it on 20 minutes ago at 9 when I saw a post about it

I haven't heard any references to Hillary yet -- I have just caught the utopian conversation about privatizing SS and now the ramblings about Russia.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

24. Turkey will invade Iraq because of the Armenian Genocide resoultion. All Pelosi's fault

Bame Pelosi, not the PPK... but they're anti-terrorist... really.

[OHdem10]

25. Over and over--Democrats, Hilary Single Payer Health Care

Don't we wish someone was pushing Single Payer.

Let's bash Hilary Night.

Hilary not capable of being Commander In Chief. All candidates
said this is true.

[tomreedtoon]

37. They are bashing Hillary too soon!

They were supposed to support her as the Democratic candidate, as Bush has done...then when she gets the nomination, THEN they attack her as a lesbian and an Ellen Degenerate!

By jumping the gun, it gives Democrats a chance to nominate somebody, ANYBODY else.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

26. Paul shouted down for saying we shouldn't always talk about the end of the world

Constitution booed.

[slick8790]

27. Oh my god.

Is anyone seeing these rabid looneys that fox is using as their "focus group"?!

[Yael]

28. Watching that now

:crazy:

[tridim]

30. LMFAO here! It's freaking scripted! Hahahaha

And this post debate followup is like la-la land. It's a complete Faux-fabricated reality.

Hillary is for a "weak military" and "strong lawsuits"!

[slick8790]

32. "She's for...communism!...and uh...socialism!"

Hillary's not my top choice, but I'd vote for her gleefully to see these assholes' heads explode.

[minkyboodle]

44. lol that guy was a jewel

hillary is da communist!!!

[jefferson_dem]

33. Seriously! Gawd...what a bunch of wackballs.

Just about made me change my loyalties -- the way they were seething with hate over the thought of President Hillary.

[minkyboodle]

43. scares the living shit out of me

Both the debate and the Fox/Luntz post debate coverage
I'm telling myself this all isn't real... there's no place
like home, there's no place like home....
Seriously if ever there was an ad to support your guy in
the primary but vote for the dem nominee in the general
this is it... and I'm not happy about that but its reality

[Bryan]

29. Everybody catch this post-debate focus group?

It was staggering. Frank Luntz rounded up the twelve dumbest people he could find to watch the debate, and their reactions were legendary.

Two separate people said Giuliani is "strong" and "has the track record to keep us safe".

"When I think about Hillary, all I can think about is how my taxes will go up!"

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

34. Unreal... it was like a group therapy session for serial killers

[DesertRat]

31. I rather watch the Red Sox and Indians playing for a World Series spot.

[Mountainman]

35. Fear motivates right wing authoritarians

[Sparkly]

36. Yup -- "scared straight" is right.

I only saw their first debate, and that was enough. :scared:

[MonkeyFunk]

40. They're all running against Clinton

instead of each other. Interesting.

[Monk06]

42. It seems like the Kurds are winning. They just whacked 17 more Turkish soldiers today.

NATO will be going down the toilet if Turkey
is forced to invade Kurdish Iraq in order to
defend itself and the Iraqi Kurd leadership
has said it can do nothing about the PKK.

It appears that the Kurds are openly provoking
the Turks into war on the assumption that the
US will back them leading to an independent
Kurdistan. This will light up the whole region
from Syria to the Pakistan border. Bear in mind
Pakistan looks like its about to fall apart,
especially if Bhutto is assassinated.

But the surge is working, so there's that.
