FREEP Foxnews for giving forum to New Black Panther Party!

Foxnews just showed a speech by a New Black Panther Party official who called our war against Afghanistan a war against Islam, and blamed Bush for the September 11 attacks. Foxnews should not be giving a forum to such blatantly false propoganda. Our media should not be purposely undermining the war effort. We can't let what the media did in Vietnam happen again in Afghanistan!

Email Foxnews at comments@foxnews.com and tell them you don't appreciate their attempts to undermine the war effort.

Sometimes all these morons need is a forum to prove they are the enemy.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

No, no, no. CONGRATULATE Foxnews for exposing these vermin to the light of day.

I agree. I was outraged watching the speech. I noticed the audience was very silent. Wonder why?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The Black Panther blithered. He was hatefilled. He made a fool of himself and his group! I'm GLAD Fox ran part of it.

[ChinaThreat]

They are doing the country a favor and exposing these idiots for what they are....terrorists! CNN and the other networks won't provide air time to these @$$holes and that is the reason most people in the US don't realize we have many enemies here at home.

Here were the speakers at this event which made it the scariest Halloween ever! Get the costumes these seditious demons were wearing!

The whole point of a marketplace of ideas is to have everyone express their own propaganda. In this environment, the BS will be filtered out because everybody sees it for what it really is. It is better that FoxNews expose the Black Panthers exactly as they are, than having CNN give us a second-hand watered-down description that softens their image.

Is that tricky First Amendment giving you fits?

Not me, they can spew this anytime they want, giving him tube time was the bother but now on second thought maybe that was a good idea.

Excellent point. Not one man but then he names one man. What an idiot. I think it's great that FOX shows this sort of dribble. People can actually see it for what it is. Just like all the stupid liberals they get on for O'Reilly and Hannity & Colmes - it only bolsters the conservative point of view. People can see for themselves the futility of so many liberal arguments. Fair and balanced.

That's silly. We need to know about these people, exposing them gives us an opportunity to react. It's not at all like CNN, where they would've found a gushy blonde to interview some Hollywood celeb about their feelings on the New Black Panthers.

I think you're in denial about the danger of organizations within the US and its Fox's duty to report those dangers.

[Neets]

Fehhhhhhh

Well said.

Never get in an opponents way of destroying themselves.

Or, if you run Fox News, you give them a spotlight for the self-destructive show.

[Texas Mom]

We report. you decide.

Isn't that how it goes?

[Dante3]

Also freep Court TV poll -- www.courttv.com -- which asks "Should airport scrrens be federal employees?" At the moment 70% of respondents are saying YES. A big mistake since federal employees don't have to be competent or bother to do their job.

[Bigg Red]

No freep here -- that's their job.

They report, we decide.

Agreed, IT! (No uncertainty principle here, Heisenburger! :')

[Macklew]

During Ramadarn we might pause dropping bombs on the Afgoons and drop some of these black panther "bums" on them. If that don't cause them to give up, nothing will!

Oh, by the way, wake up Fox, that was not news, it was spews!

[Bigg Red]

Man! I heard them on C-SPAM radio, but seeing them in their uniforms is something! I guess their swastika patches are still on order.

[clintonh8r]

First Amendment does not guarantee anybody a forum. Why should they get a national forum as opposed to, say, the Crips and the Bloods? The Panthers are just a gang of (mostly) black thugs who are clever enough to wrap themselves in a radical political message to get public attention. Giving them national coverage may "expose" their true agenda to people smart enough to get it, but the sheeple will see it as legitimizing a bunch of hoodlums.

There are millions of equally idiotic points of view. Should they all get some air time because of the First Amendment?

[clintonh8r]

Nice try, but that wasn't news.
