[Help!]

Didn’t know “f*** off” was Dutch as well as English.
Actually I think our word originated with the Dutch. On their registration certificates, horses bred in the Netherlands list the “breeder” as the “fokker”

The Tom Harkin gambit. Public radio ws on 23 hours a day and Rush Limbaugh for an hour a day.

And Hakin complained that Rush is getting all the ratings and they need a fairness doctrine.

[Publius]

The English F-word comes from the Dutch verb foekken, "to breed".

Oh poor Dave..he doesn’t like Fox News..well go home and watch MSLSD then, or just bang your head against the wall, you will get the same effect

" . . . a county-run facility is no place to be showing what they consider offensive, right-wing political propaganda."

Sorry, folks, but free speech means that sometimes you hear things that you don't like. Live with it. Conservatives have to live with it every day, out of the mouths of people like YOU.

Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Weber: get over yourselves. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to watch it. You can pack up and go somewhere else!

I learn new and useful things every day on FR. It should be used in public schools as a teaching tool.

When in the hospital recently for my dad, we were in waiting room (no other people in room) and tried to change tv to Fox - it was blocked. We did end up figuring out how add it to the tv - we just figured some lib was sitting in the waiting room at some point and removed the channel. Just like a lib, “I don’t want to watch it therefore no one else should be able to watch it’.

[a fool in paradise]

Though there's no volume on the TVs, they said, they got tired of seeing offensive closed-caption blocks with remarks such as "Young women aren't capable of voting" and "We have enough illegals here, we don't need more."

Are these the standard messages on Newscorp's Fox News? Newscorp execs endorsed John F. Kerry in 2004. What's changed?

Or were these "quotes" the embellishments of the hysteric libs making the report or "quotes" from people on the street being interviewed ON Fox News?

[a fool in paradise]

What was on the other 8 televisions?

Clearly not ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, HBO, etc. etc.

[ozarkgirl]

In defense of the libs, yes,there should be options for them too - half tv’s on liberal shows and half on conservative. That is all they asked for (see prior post about the hospital waiting room and turn it around and you will see the guy was doing to them what someone had done to us in the waiting room). It was a public place right?

[Genoa]

I have a right to live my life without being offended by other people’s inappropriate opinions. You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones who disagree with me and my friends.

[gr8eman]

...and stay in Michigan!

[cripplecreek]

LOL Idiots.

[BBell]

[wally_bert]

They are discriminated against. I speak from experience.

[Montana_Sam]
