Fix News ADMIT to sending their reporters 'out to cause trouble'

Further to yesterday's humiliation of Fix News at the 'Recreate '68' march, when adorning 'Fox News' signage reporter Griff Jenkins positioned himself in the midst of the marchers, and unsurprisingly received a barrage of four letter expletives. Today Fix News shockingly confirm on air, that they are intentionally sending reporters 'out to cause trouble'.

The alarming admition was made during this morning's edition of Fox and Friends (Tuesday August 25th), not by some over zealous commentator, but by the show's host Brian Kilmeade.

Can you imagine the BBC doing the same? What kind of a news network is this? couldn't they at least try to be a little more grown up. I'm sure a news network admiting to sending reporters out specifically to 'cause trouble' has to be a first....totally unbelieveable.

I'm amazed that this type of confrontational broadcasting is allowed to happen. This is a major political convention featuring one of this country's presidential candidates, the Fix News announcement that they're sending reporters out not just to cover any trouble, but to actually 'cause' it, is way beyond irresponsible.

America deserves better than this, hard working Americans struggling to meet the bills don't want to hear that major media networks are sending out reporters to 'cause trouble'. It's the American tax payer who picks up the bill for all the 'trouble', we pick up the bills of policing, any public damage, and the costs of keeping someone behind bars. It's outrageous, we deserve more and Fox News need to be told so.

Fox News desperate to 'Recreate '68'

Oh man! I just love this.

So, the Dem convention has finally begun and as you'd expect it's accompanied by plenty of poor, honest Fix News reporters just doing their best to bring us 'fair and balanced news'. In the clip below you'll see how they have to deal with 'angry leftists' refusing to speak to them.

This is hillarious well worth spending 2 mins checking it out.

SADLY, BUT NOT SURPRISINGLY THE VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED. PERHAPS IT WAS A LITTLE TOO INCRIMINATING OF FIX NEWS AND EMBARRASING FOR THEIR GOP MASTERS.

STILL, NP I'M SURE THERE WILL BE PLENTY MORE. JUST IN CASE, IT BECOMES AVAILABLE AGAIN HERE'S THE ORIGINAL YOUTUBE POSTING

All Hail, whoever the fuck that was protesting!

If only more people were as disaplined as that lot were, perhaps eventually no one will speak to Faux News and their reporters will all cut sad and lonely figures with mics in hand but no one to speak into them.

Our House in the Middle of Our Street -- Mc7Cribs gets McNasty after another Barackattack -- Game On!

Good to see another Barackattack on the stump today, he’s letting McNasty know that his number‘s up, well at least the number of houses he owns, from 4 to 7...

The vid is a few minutes long, but you can never have too much of a good thing, right?

Introducing Johnny Mc7Cribs....



Though I feel BO could’ve gone after him even harder, the McCain camp's response is just a treat.

Average Americans are suffering even if Johnny Mc7Cribs isn’t. Most of us have one house, and many of us are struggling to keep hold of that one house, but enough of us have lost that struggle to expect a presidential candidate, even one as rich as McCain, to be sensitive to the suffering of his fellow Americans, anything less is just disrespectful. Then again, lack of respect seems to be becoming a theme of his campaign.

This latest stumble coming after McCain’s own economical adviser; Phil Gram had the f*ing gall to scoff at us, calling us ‘a nation of whiners‘. Gram's shameful coments made as millions of Americans suffer under abject circumstances he helped cause.

Of course Mc7Cribs distanced himself from those remarks for a couple of days, but I really believe he has a problem acknowledging that times are hard, and there's a great opportunity here.

In such a difficult economic environment, needing staff to tell you how many houses you own, is going to be extremely offensive to a LOT of Americans. Johnny Mc7Cribs is clearly a foot in mouth nominee, but he wouldn’t have purposely set out to offend, which leaves only one conclusion -- he's so out of touch, he really didn’t think his statement could offend.

If there was any doubt, his campaign’s response clearly highlights just how out of touch he is. Instead of apologizing to anyone that could’ve taken offence at such an insensitive answer, or claiming another ‘senior moment’, his campaign’s response was to attack BO. Not only did they try to draw a vague comparison by claiming that BO was also rich, but upped the stakes by inferring he was criminal too, but of course, he‘s black right?

Offensive as their response was, it still missed the point. Americans aren’t bothered whether or not their president is rich, in fact they'd LOVE one that’s self made (like BO), it proves that the dream is still alive. Their president doesn’t have to live like them either, but it’s nice when someone comes along who has (like BO)!

Americans just want to know that their president understands how decisions in washington effect them, that he or she is in touch with their reality, not a reality shared by a handful of the candidate's mega-rich buddies.

Again Barack Obama is unique in that respect he's lived as an average American.

A comment such as the one McCain made, would never have been made by a person who understood what his fellow countrymen were going through, by someone ‘in touch’ with his fellow citizens.

I wouldn't hold McCain’s advantaged life against him. I’ve always thought the charge of elitism was a ridiculous one to make, I don't see anything wrong with the fact McCain was brought up and lives in a privileged environment, as long as he understood what life for the rest of us was like. But, it's become obvious that McCain simply doesn’t understand the suffering of average Americans.

The McCain campaign’s response highlights just how fundamentally out of touch he and they are, they’ve gone so negative they can’t see the wood for the trees. They’re misreading all criticisms as negative attacks and are failing to address the genuine ones. Low info voters are just low info, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they’re low IQ too. People want to hear an answer, even his supporters will want to know that he’s not that out of touch.

People will begin to see the difference between the candidates; McCain looks like he's been brought up with a silver spoon shoved so far down his throat, he has silver service shit coming out of his ass. Whereas Mr Obama has worked hard to provide a better life for his children. BO is the American dream come true, and when McCain falters answering questions as basic as how many houses he has, the American public will see him for what he is, a dangerously out of touch candidate.

Keep it up both of you :)

I am outraged - Saakashvili just blamed the UK for WWII

Apologies for this short rant, but I need to get this off my chest. This whole Georgian affair is making me feel sick, it smacks of some Rovian tragedy, and to top it off my country has just been unfairly insulted, by one of the leading characters.

First the stench of Rove.

Every time Saakashvili opens his mouth it sounds like a party political broadcast on behalf of the repugs, God Knows how many times he's openly mentioned McCain's personal support. Is this some shallow effort to make up for Obama's success in Europe?

What gives it away for me is that we're now getting the Rovian 'On Message' stuff: Earlier today Condi Rice claimed that there was no place in the 21st Century for countries invading other countries just to remove governments they don't like, yeah right! Then a few moments ago we hear McBombit making the very same statement there is no place in the 21st Century for countries invading blah blah blah.

God the repugs are good at getting their message over when Rove's running things.

Of course neither Rice or McBombit added the caveat that the US were exempt from this kind of behavior.

It gets worse, asked whether he thought Saakashvili’s comments sounded like an endorsement of him, John McCain said (I’m paraphrasing) that we (the American electorate) needed to remember this (his) great reaction to these events and that experience should be a key consideration when we pick our next president.

The revolting McBombit is using a foreign country's military action against another foriegn country to try and score political points, it smacks of a set up to me.

Still never fear, this is the deluded McBombit we're dealing with, in the very next question he was asked whether he was happy with the way the Bush admin is dealing with it all, and whether he would use military action to protect the Georgian govt. himself. He answered the second question first by quite categorically saying NO he would not be sending in troops, but went onto say that he was happy with the way Bush is handling things and claimed that they were sending a 'clear' message to the Russians.

But, have I missed something here? didn't he just say he was NOT going to send any troops in? and if not then exactly what 'clear' message is he sending to Russia? that we'll stop selling stuff to them? that we're prepared to lose all the money we make from that country? that we'll cut our nose off to spite our face? yeah nice one!

Finally to cap my disgust with the whole affair and my deep suspicion about McSaakashvili, in an interview with CNN, Mikheil Saakashvili had the audacity to blame my country for the atrocities of WWII. BTW I'm British.

After claiming the US were not doing enough, and blaming them for not sending in soldiers to die defending his government's actions, he drew a world war two comparison. Saakashvili told us that the US refusing to send troops was like the British and Neville Chamberlain ‘giving up Czechoslovakia’ to the nazis, and went on to warn us that we all saw what happened after that.

I'm sorry but this pissed me off, both my grandfathers died along side four of their brothers defending Europe, our country fought alone for 3 long years, I lost great aunts courtesy of the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns of London, and to hear some gobshite tinpot president blame my country for WWII and the holocaust tops the lot for me.

Maybe just maybe the Dems are beginning to hit back...

Credit where credit's due, our man's stepped up the Barack-attacks, he's obviously not gonna let McCain get away with the low-life charge that he lacks patriotism. Earlier today he sounded genuinely upset by it when he addressed the Vets of Foreign Wars.

Maybe there's even a hint of more direct language, just a hint. Personally, I feel he should be a LOT more direct when defending himself or attacking McCain, but maybe he's started to move in that direction.

Also, it was great to see this ad from the DNC reminding us just how out of touch McBombit really is...



I really don't care whether he mentioned the $5M as a joke, or not, the last thing struggling Americans want to hear is a presidential nominee being flippant, especially after accusing us all of being whiners. The DNC have the ad smack on, the man is out of touch.

I’d like to see BO set up a team headed by a tough front-line surrogate purely to deconstruct and confront every illegitimate and negative charge McCain makes. Perhaps an extension to the web crew that take on all the online misinformation about Obama. It’ll make McCain look like the sleazy, bitter man he is.

What's been happening while I've been away?

Before I get into all that is not well in our world, I just had to leave you with a totally irrelevant but enjoyable pictorial reminder of that glorious day when McCain was forced to ponder that Viagra question...

Alright now can someone tell me how the fuck the repugs gained the upper ground on these three issues;

1. The Iraq war - There’s no discussion anymore about whether or not we should be in Iraq, it’s all about the fucking surge, which actually wasn’t a surge at all, it was just an increase in troop levels. I thought the prupose of the ‘surge‘ was so that the troops could come home, but there’s been no troop reduction, there are more troops in Iraq today than there were pre-surge, how’s that a success? The answer is it’s not, the only success here has been for the republican’s pr machine, they’ve done a corking job.
It’s true that Obama voted against the surge and he was right to, the reduction in violence had very little to do with any US military action on the ground, but back room diplomacy and double dealings. This is NOT an area where democrats should be losing ground, but McCain is happy to bring this up all day long. Why? Because it’s a ‘winning’ issue for him, who would’ve thought that any part of the Iraq war would be a ‘winning’ issue for the republicans that illegally drew us into that war. A total failure on behalf of the Democrat PR machine, if it can be called a machine at all.

2. Fuel costs - what the fuck? Republicans sit in congress without the lights on, refusing to go home until congress approves even greater profits for their big oil paymasters, and somehow manage to make those nasty profit grabbing oil companies look like the good guys.

Another example of the Democratic Party PR lawnmower failing. In fact that’s an understatement, they’ve failed so atrociously that McBombit feels confident enough to run ads blaming Obama and the Democratic Party leadership for the high gas prices. And the reason he feels confident enough to run the ads? -- 70% of the American public support off shore drilling.

Depressing as those stats are there’s one thing that can be drawn from them -- the American electorate have not got a fucking clue, it proves they can be ‘sold’ anything. A couple of them even bought the ‘wrong’ London bridge from us once!

3. Georgia - tell me WTF is up with that? - Saakashvilli uses all his airtime to make GOP party political broadcasts, maybe he’s positioning himself to run as McBombit’s VP! Let’s face it, he couldn’t be any worse than Romney, at least he’d offer a more reserved type of ‘bomb it and see’ conservatism.

I’m not even gonna touch on the ‘countries just don’t invade other countries in the 21st Century’, actually repeated by Bush, Rice and McBombit.

No it’s the other brand of hypocrisy I want to address: 200,000 people turn up to hear Obama make some tedious speech in Berlin, and he’s accused of being; presumptive, arrogant, too presidential etc. But, some tin-pot leader of a country most Americans never knew existed, mercilessly bombs citizens of a separatist leaning enclave in his country, which consequently draws the inevitable response from the Russians, and all of a sudden McCain’s talking as if they’ve invaded Bermuda, and starts posturing like it’s the cold war all over again, even tells us he’s sending an ‘envoy’.

So apparently, you can’t make a boring speech in front of 200,000 Europeans, but it’s a OK to threaten war with Russia! Tell me who’s being presumptive here?

Honestly it feels like a bad joke, maybe Ted Turner’s gonna make an announcement, tell us the whole thing was just a really badly conceived prank of his. Anything, please, but this can‘t really be happening, can it?

Obama please, please, please get tough, but in language idiots like me would understand

I was initially so impressed with Obama through the primaries I thought his approach was perfect, but that was the primaries. He was in poll position and had a hell of a lot more to lose, by responding with like and going negative against Clinton. If he had, he risked dividing a party that he needed united if he won, but this is very different, this is the real thing.

What worked in the primaries isn’t necessarily going to work in the general, some maybe, but definitely not all. They key point to remember here is that half of the US electorate voted for Bush’s re-election.

I could just about forgive people voting for Bush in the first place, I mean he seemed like a nice enough bloke, he had his impeccable bi-partisan background, and after, what many independents would see as, the partisan failings of the Clinton administration, was probably seen as a positive by many people. But, Bush 04 was NOT that person, we’d already sucked it to see, and anyone could see that he sucked. Yet that didn’t stop half the electorate voting for him.

In fact, if I may remind you, more people voted for president Bush’s reelection than for any president in the history of this nation, there’s no backing away from the fact that Obama needs to convert hundreds of thousands maybe even a million of those same Re-Elect Bush voters. Remember these people were not sitting on the fence, they actually bothered their asses to go out and vote to ‘re-elect’ him, these aren’t people that take their politics lightly.

Obama either needs the greatest turn out of 18-30 yr olds in history, or he has to convert significant numbers of the Re-Elect Bush voters, if not, he’s gonna lose. And when I was 18-30 yrs old, I was all mouth and no trousers. I‘d warn against relying on America‘s youth to save us, they’ll talk a good game but where were the numbers last time the world desperately needed them 04?

Let me refer to the 70% of Americans supporting off-shore drilling again. If Bush’s re-election didn’t convince you that a large number of the American electorate are low information voters (I’m being kind), then that stat should. It should also highlight just how far from these voters this campaign has got at the moment. Off shore drilling is not the number 1 issue here, we all know that, it may possibly be part of the mid-term solution, but it isn’t the short term or long term solution, yet all the brahuha is focused on this marginal mid-term solution!

Every time Obama or a leader of the Democratic Party opens their mouth and makes intelligent noises they risk losing voters, Democrats, intelligent Independents even some smart Republicans will understand it, but they’ve already decided who they’ll vote for, they risk losing all those people that have only heard the charge of ‘elitist’, which I guarantee is gonna be ran and re-ran on the only news channel they watch, Fox. Past Memorial Day the election is all about low info voters.

The repugs have painted the Democratic party so effectively that even in their darkest hour they have something to cling to and it‘s not guns or religion, it‘s their low info voters and the charge of elitist socialists coming to destroy the world with their helpful, nice and giving ways.
