Yes, an angry butch lesbian with no ratings who loves Islam and government healthcare is much more watchable than Glenn Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity, yes sirree...

The mental disease known as Liberalism is quickly becoming self-evident.

"When I look at that arrogant Boston Catholic Bill O’Reilly with his anti abortion right wing rhetoric, that fellow Irish Catholic idiot Sean Hannity and that illustrious Scientologist Greta van Susteren, all three are like innocent schoolchildren compared to the newest recruit, Morman convert, alcoholic Glenn Beck."

Having spent a number of hours listening to Hannity, I can confirm that he is definitely not an idiot and is in fact well above average in intelligence and highly articulate, especially considering that he's doing a live talk show and not reading canned scripts.

“I have watched Rupert Murdoch turn the media upside down for the last thirty years.”

And, thank God for that!

I have been filled up to my cranium with the likes of Cronkite, Rather, Couric, et al.

If it wasn’t for FOX I wouldn’t know what the heck is going on around me.

Unfortunately I am an MSNBC (particularly Rachel Maddow) fan ....

LOL! Well, that explains it all right there!

You know, to a certain extent I think extreme liberalism actually is caused by mental illness resulting from use of drugs and alcohol. That’s one reason why so many 60s hippies are wild-eyed extreme left wingers.

It is often emphasized that Free Republic is not a blog. But, we seem to be inundated with blog threads on a daily basis.

The old media earned its corrupt reputation beginning in the 60s with the war on communism. Murdoch, has helped to bust the monopolistic stranglehold these fraudulent journalists had on what passes as unbiased reporting. The old media hates all competition and so attempts to undermine their efforts by more journalistic fraud.

How could God have made four such manicured lunatics to dominate the right wing media? O’Reilly and Hannity are just plain nasty IRA supporting Irish Catholics.

He has O'Reilly and Hannity confused with the Kennedys. Ever wonder why Ted Kennedy made the no fly list?

From Wiki:

Psychological projection or projection bias (including Freudian Projection) is the unconscious act of denial of a person’s own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to the weather, the government, a tool, or to other people. Thus, it involves imagining or projecting that others have the same feelings or motives, rather than what they really think.

I had a lengthy discussion with two Liberals whom I consider friends on a business front. They truly believe that the successful should be TAXED to offset their success, that the poor minorities NEED GOVERNMENT to get them out of the hole. They want ANMESTY for all illegal immgrants and an INCREASE in Affirmative Action programs. They really want a mediocre melting pot that somehow taking incentive away will make us less competitive as a world and we should be poor ourselves to make up for the lack of money/intellect/resources/political capital of the rest of the world.

I argued that people who are self-sufficient actually give more back to society and higher state and Federal tax revenue INCREASES when taxes and regulations are lowered, but they really, really crave Marxism.

That is until they get it.

Beck don’t push his religion, he only pushes God on his show as the founders envisioned “God given Inherent rights” part of it.

“When rights are handed out to men they can take them away, when they are given by a transcendental deity (whomever that may be) they can NEVER be taken away.”

The person who wrote this obviously is a hateful spiteful person who hates all religions except for the ones that hate any of the ones that are dominant in this country ie. ROP.

I have a choice of watching Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Madcow, and Ed Shultz (all certifiably nuts) or Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and John Stossel. Not a real tough choice, is it? The ratings confirm it, too.

It amazes me how some people know so much about a channel they never watch, a book they’ve never read, rallies they’ve never attended, etc.
