Can we please get Whorealdo off of Fox.
Well, I know how to spell liberty and freedom...and I have a feeling Mr. Martin is going to learn how to spell those words real soon.
Interesting, many of the opponents of Obamacare are doctors. I guess they can’t spell, either. On the other hand, there are several Democratic members of Congress who can’t put two meaningful sentences together.
How would he feel if people had to pass a spelling test in order to get health care?
I’ve come to the conclusion that Democrats and their fellow Democrats in the news media are just insulting morons who think the wisdom of the ages came down and magically inhabited their bodies.
These people are seriously looking for a beating
Some members of Congress can’t answer an intelligent question. They seem insulted that they were asked one.
As for people who can’t spell, they are probably victims of the Democrats in the NEA and the teachers’ unions.
My 4 year old son can count higher than CNN’s viewership these days.
No but I know the right way to say Corpsman!! and I don’t even need a Telprompter........
This guy is on CNN and calling other people DUMB.
This is the network of Wolf Blitzer & Anderson Cooper's legendary Jeopardy performances. The network of Rick hit & run Sanchez's "This is Hawaii".
Hell, CNN just did a poll that said at least 59% of the country hated this bill and he calls that percentage of the country dumb...now, that's dumb.
These idiots are implying that the healthcare takeover is not socialism, or communism. Well, it is certainly fascism.
This from a network that got lower ratings then the Cartoon Network..they got beaten out by Pokemon and Tom & Jerry, both good shows by the way
Gail Reed
Theres something deeply wrong with journalism that scrutinizes and criticizes the institutions of free and successful nations, but produces puff pieces on the supposed achievements of totalitarian dictatorships. On Thursday, CNN aired a piece of Communist Party propaganda about how Cuba could serve as a model for health care reform in the United States, complete with an authoritative sound bite from an American medical expert, identified only as someone whos lived and worked in Cuba for decades.
But the expert, Gail Reed, is a longtime admirer of the Cuban revolution, married to the Cuban official who served as ambassador to Grenada in the early 1980s when U.S. troops liberated the island from hardline communists who had executed the leftist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. She's also worked at Granma, Cubas official communist party newspaper.
[snip]
As for Reed, she was profiled in the Miami Herald back in 1983 after she and her husband returned to Cuba after American forces liberated Grenada. She talked about the fear she felt at seeing U.S. Marines surrounding the Cuban embassy, and told the newspaper, I feel I have a very strong identification with the Cuban revolution.
When I first came to Cuba in the 70s, I was very impressed with their efforts in building a new kind of society, Reed explained.

[excerpt]
O'REILLY: Fidel Castro, do you admire the man?
TURNER: Yes.
O'REILLY: Now he has murdered people. He's imprisoned people. There are political prisoners now. He won't let his people use the Internet. Nobody can use that. And you admire the guy?
TURNER: Well, I admire certain things about him. He's trained a lot of doctors, and they've got one of the best educational systems in the developing world. And you know, he's still popular with a lot of people down there. He's unpopular
O'REILLY: But he's a killer. He's a killer. He's a guy who
TURNER: But that has never, to my knowledge, that's never been proven. I mean
O'REILLY: He's executed political prisoners. I mean, he enslaves people who don't see it the way he sees it. Come on. He's a dictatorship. If you admire him, then why wouldn't you admire Mussolini? I mean, what's the difference? Mussolini put people back to work. There was order. The educational system was fine. See, I'm not getting this. This is what I don't understand about it.
TURNER: Well, OK, well, if you don't see the difference between Castro and Mussolini, you know, then you know, I likened some aspects of FOX News to the Nazis, so, I mean, you know, it works both ways.
O'REILLY: But you just admitted to me that that wasn't a very good thing to do and wasn't accurate.
TURNER: Hey, listen, I didn't say I wanted to live in Cuba. And I didn't say that I was buddy buddies with Fidel Castro. I just said that I respected certain things that he's done.
O'REILLY: All right, well
TURNER: What's wrong with that?
O'REILLY: Well, you said respect the man. And I just don't I can't possibly see how you could do that, but
TURNER: Of course not.
O'REILLY: Now I asked this question through one of my producers to Ms. Fonda. And I'm going to ask it to you because by reading your book, it struck me that the Vietnam experience changed you. I'm saying to myself, you know, Turner comes into the Vietnam era, conservative guy, pretty much traditional guy, it changes him.
TURNER: Yes.
O'REILLY: It changes him. And now he's a very liberal guy. So I asked Ms. Fonda, didn't it ever bother that you after all your activism and getting America out of Vietnam, which it subsequently did in the mid '70s, that 3 million human beings were slaughtered by the people that you were lionizing, the North Vietnam and the Khmer Rouge Communists who wouldn't have been slaughtered if we stayed. And their skulls were stacked on top of each other. And I never heard from you, Jane Fonda. And I never heard a word from Ted Turner about that. And that, to me, is a good question.
TURNER: You've got me. I didn't really think about it. You know, it didn't make the news very much.
O'REILLY: No, it didn't. And you had a vehicle that you could have had the revisionist history is what I'm worried about here. I think America's a noble nation. I think we've made mistakes. I think we tried to have freedom in Vietnam for the South Vietnamese. Unfortunately, the government was corrupt. I don't think that was a venal, terrible thing to do. I think we were trying to protect people there.

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?
REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?
FONDA: Obama.
REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.
RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

Uh Martin, I think you have that backwards. That was quite a circus over at the House yesterday with your side presiding. Talk about clueless. It was fun watching Jesse Junior play chairman. Talk about a deer caught in the headlights. Half of the democrats don’t even speak proper english, let alone spell.
In May 2008, he earned a master's degree in Christian Communications at Louisiana Baptist University, a primarily religious, non-accredited institution
News Busters - "That's just stuck on stupid," Martin said. "I mean to sit there on the House floor and all of a sudden you're talking about, oh, this is communism and you're sitting here and reaching - that's just dumb, OK? You know what? If Republicans truly cared about health care, why in the world didn't they do anything for eight years? So don't stand here now when the Democrats have been pushing the issue and now say, oh, no, Republicans - we really care about health care,' when you had the opportunity to make changes to our system."
"The fact of the matter is, when you have Republicans who want to sit here and throw all these kind of nonsensical names out there, it does nothing but stir up the nutcases who are frankly calling Democrats the kind of names on yesterday," Martin said. ...
"And so if you want to make an argument that there are core differences, there are no doubt between Democrats and Republicans on this issue," Martin said. "And you know what? You sometimes have to make tough issues - tough decisions. And so I just don't believe in these ridiculous names, what's communism and what's socialism. People probably can't even spell communism and socialism, much less identify it."

CNNs Kyra Phillips invited comedian Paul Mooney and radio talk show host Roland Martin on to Newsroom Tuesday to discuss the Michael Richards (Kramer) issue. During the conversation, both guests made what many would perceive as being rather anti-Semitic remarks.This was Martins:
“Another piece is when you really examine what he said, he not only said 50 years ago wed have you hanging upside down from a tree. Well, guess what, 50 years ago, Michael Richards would have been in some oven in Germany being baked because hes also Jewish.”

Essence: Roland Martin: CAN WE JUST CALL WHITE VOTERS WHITE VOTERS?
Posted on October 7, 2008
Essence: Roland Martin
OK, Im not trying to be the race guy, but these labels are driving me nuts!
Earlier today there was a piece on Joe Sixpack, and not a single African American, Hispanic or Asian was interviewed.
Now, do these groups drink six packs? Yep. But dont we know that Palin isnt talking to them? Yep. So why not just say it?
We even played a soundbite of Palin saying Joe Sixpack and hockey moms. Trust me, shes not speaking to anyone who looks like me!
But there are other terms that have been thrown around by candidates, political strategists and the media, and no one wants to be honest as to who we are talking about.
Wal-mart moms. Soccer moms. NASCAR dads. Small town America.
Seriously. Read all of those phrases, and when you think of who candidates, political strategists and the media are talking about, who immediately comes to mind? I can tell you no one black, Hispanic or Asian!
So, can we just stop the nonsense and say, all at once WHITE AMERICANS.
I just think its so obvious, but it as if we the collective media just doesnt want to say it

Roland Martin: Palin Should Cut the Crap and Stick to Making Money
Martin: mocked those in “real America” for being Palin fans; accused her of giving speeches “full of falsehoods,” and; claimed she was an empty-headed celebrity who wanted nothing more than money.
Sarah Palin’s most ardent supporters in “real America” love to suggest that those of us who don’t buy into her shtick fail to grasp why they love her, citing her realness, plain-spokenness and whatever else they can conjure up.
Folks, nice try, but as a native Texan, I’ve seen many politicians and wannabes over the years who had charm, wit, charisma and a twinkle in their eye.
You want a media darling politician with substance? Try the late Gov. Ann Richards, a woman who could cut you deep and beam ear-to-ear with her motherly smile. But unlike Palin, she had a host of strong ideas in her head that actually made sense and appealed to a cross-section of folks.
Former Rep. Charlie Wilson, who died this week, was a smooth-talking Texan who loved to party hard. But when it came to politics, he knew how to get things done. The media loved him because he could sit with you and enjoy a beer over barbecue, give them a hilarious quote or two, and explain foreign policy better than Henry Kissinger.
Why haven’t I cottoned to Palin? Because she portrays herself as a straight-talking politician who wants to lead a movement in the “Lower 48th” — but is nothing more than a political celebrity willing to cash every check she can grab.
Sarah, I haven’t bought into your fake “I’m-a-real-American” persona. You slam the president for using teleprompters, but write crib notes on your hand to remember basic beliefs that should be easy to regurgitate.
You decry the “lamestream” media, but you bask in its glory and have joined its payroll as a Fox News contributor, even having the network build a studio in your home. Talk about media elite.
You give a speech riddled with falsehoods about the president and national security, and then try to shrug them off as the “lamestream” media attacking you.
You don’t fool me, even as your legion of fans considers you the second coming of President Reagan. You quit on the people who elected you to become a political celebrity, which your presidential running mate blasted then-Sen. Barack Obama for doing.
You had the opportunity to show everyone that you’re willing to take on anyone who crosses the line against those who are mentally challenged, and you failed.
Please, make as much money as you can. Paraphrasing comedian Martin Lawrence, ride this train until the wheels fall off. But please, cut the crap. You’re a crass politician with no true conviction. Your actions have shown that.
