I think the R's need to pick a smear. They can't make up their mind if Obama is a radical muslim, a socialist, a racist christian, an anarchist etc... They even managed to tie Obama to the economic meltdown via ACORN.

:rofl:

2. I don't generally but a friend asked me to watch.
So I subjected myself to it. It was beyond anything I've seen on Fox to date, if you can believe that?

12. What do you expect from a college dropout?
Give him some Valium. He needs it. What a liar and whiner! He is good at mouthing GOP talking points, though.
And take away the super glue. He keeps gluing his pen to his hand. (Right hand, of course.)

3. They are really sliming ACORN lately
ACORN gets blamed for causing the economic meltdown, stealing elections, and getting 20% of the bailout money. Of course, none of it is true. When McCain loses the election, the right wing will probably say it was because of election fraud by ACORN.

24. Is ACORN Clinton's nickname?
I can't imagine them not going back to the Clinton well. It is all Clinton's fault....That is their bread and butter..

5. I've never watched more than 2 straight minutes of Fox.
But I actually watched 15 minutes of this, out of curiosity. What a freaking contradictory acid trip! It was like a parody.

9. More about ACORN below.
http://www.acorn.org/

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities.

Organized poor people (especially people of color) scares the likes of Hannity.

8. Wow, impoverished people are awfully powerful
Who knew that a bunch of people too poor to rub two nickels together could bring bankers, financiers and indeed all of Wall Street to its knees? Better watch your step, Hannity. We might decide to make an example out of you . . .

10. That was perhaps the most
ridiculous/overtly racist assertion in the program. ACORN scared bankers into lending? :eyes:

11. Yes, I watched it. Sean Hannity is Joe McCarthy reincarnate.
This was appalling even by Fox News standards. This was the single lowest moment of American "journalism" since the lead-up to the war in Iraq. If the American people buy this it will be a tragedy of major proportions. But my hopes are high. I doubt they will buy it. I think it is too late. We know Barack Obama, and we do believe our "lying eyes."

14. Welcome Hans!
Another Minnesotan here. :hi:

I agree with you that this was a new low for Faux "news." The good news for us is that Obama is raising enough $ to fight these smears. Hopefully they wont get much traction, regardless.

Someone give him some Valiums; he needs it. He is good at spouting GOP talking points, though.

And take away the super glue. He keeps gluing his pen to his hand (RIGHT hand, of course.)

I always knew Rupert Murdoch has a little "Butt Monkey."

Imagine what the spawn of this idiot and Mann Coulter would look like. Stocky ultra right-wing girls who are over six feet tall with Adam's apples and faces like horses.

All of a sudden, I'm not hungry any more.

19. Well, it is said that no one will suspect the anti-christ of being the antichrist
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 11:15 PM by Incitatus
So that pretty much blows away that theory.

That and the fact that all religion is bullshit, of course.

23. I'd rather staple my nuts to the chair
than to watch or listen to that pukebag. Kudos to those with the stomach to monitor them for us. :hi:
