It may sound strange but letting GE fail could be the one most single effective way of getting this country back on track. Failure of this overgrown socialist giant and its tenticles would be the best thing that could happen. But you know Obama will bail out his benefactor.

Ok I can agree with the stuff about the teabaggers. But the stuff about GE and NBC is stretching it a bit I think. NBC news and CNBC has been relativly moderate.. MSNBC on the other hand there is no debate that they are far left.

SHOCKING! A bunch of rich people at a SHAREHOLDERS meeting are upset about a liberal slant to the media.

But we aren't allowed to say anything about News Corp and the Fox News right-slant.:augentreher:

Say what you want about them. If something is there, let it come out.
Personally, I think this needs to be exposed if there is something there.

Wasnt that what alot of people were saying about the "torture"?

I believe the focus was on MSNBC if you heard all of it. I couldnt find a clip of the entire questioning of the GE official like was played on Oreilly tonight but he was reamed about MSNBC and this Garofalo nitwit and everyone was applauding. The point is that GE owns these compaines and doesnt care if they are spewing this kind of crap according to the official.

I saw it too.
They were literally cheering when he was asked the questions that were asked, and booed when he answered with his brush off answers.

While I agree with their sentiment about MSNBC.. I just see it like the pot calling the kettle black coming from FOX...

I only heard the small clip you posted about "this is hating a black man in the white house." You think she was spewing crap when she said that? I know you know better.

I dont think she was, I know she was. She put everyone at those rallies in the same group. That of racist "rednecks" that hate the black man.
That is unfair, and very ignorant, but I have come to expect that from her.

Like I said, I didn't hear the whole clip....I only heard 5 seconds where she talked about hating a black man in the white house. I think that statement is perfectly fair as it relates to *some* of the anti-Obama sentiment. I just can't think of any other reason there seems to be such ferverent hatred towards him...he's only been in office a few months. Every other president in my lifetime was given a much longer grace-period until the hating began.

See, I just can not agree with that. It seems like anyone (or alot) who disagreed with him for any reason was, and still is somewhat, labled as being against him because he was black, whether true or not.

I will admit that there are some that were against him for that reason, but IMHO it was not as many as others would like you to think.

The hatred is most likely the product of backlash from the hatred Bush supporters experienced for 8 years.

What goes around comes around.

8 Years? No for the first 2-3 Years bush had unheard of approval numbers.. After 9-11 he had almost 90%, The left didnt start attacking him until he started screwing this nation over.

Sure they were not... You should of read some of the signs and saw some of the interviews.. They were not the majority but certainly they were there..

I did see the signs. Some where awful but its like that at any unorganized public rally. Its one of the signs that the whole thing was genuine and not orchestrated. Infact more are being planned and I will be there.

A planned event by FOX, or whatever other outfit you demonize would not have had those kinds of signs for you commies to point too. it would have been much slicker, more Obamalike.

You must of missed those "Planned" Palin/McCain rallies, which had much of the same signs. You should watch the interviews with those people to..

Certainly not the majority of the party but they are the group that gives the party a bad name.. Much like the Democrats have the tree huggers, you guys have the racist rednecks.

Yeah, carefully planned right wing rallies don't have rednecks showing their foolish side.
