Oreilly and Hannity both reported on the shootings of the museum guard and both said it was a lunatic killing. Oreilly said it was biased of the uber-left media to report on the killing of a “hero” abortionist by a lunatic by a ten to one margin over the killing of a US soldier by another lunatic. Hannity also reported all three incidences. I saw the programs myself and they did report it, they just questioned the mainstream media’s decision to cover the abortionist by a ten to one margin. Can you explain the mainstream media’s actions?

Since both O’reilly and Hannity are probably secret members of one of those scary, radical right wing groups, what do you expect. They can not dog their own, would not look good.

O’REILLY: It’s a news decision, and our news decision is based on what is important. Their news decision is based on ideology.
““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
Huh? WTF?

Fox bases it’s news coverage on radical right wing ideology. They push their news decisions on what they think will keep all of their ignorant, racist, hateful viewers returning to watch the Fox entertainment channel. IMHO, the Fox entertainment channel is dangerous to our country. Through their hateful, racist, twisted slant on stories, they are a breeding ground for domestic terrorists who feed off of all the fear, hate and lies spewed by the bobbleheads on Fox.

Seems like a lot of personal attacks on this thread rather than comments on the story. I thought both crimes were newsworthy….but it seems both sides of the debate are trying to exploit them for their own purposes.

Domestic terrorism is surging and Fox doesn’t think it is newsworthy? What do they think is newsworthy, Blago’s wife eating some bugs in Central America?

Jeffrey Hulsebos Says:

Nobody can say anything anymore. Not with all of those Jews stopping them from talking to Obama. Your messiah is a fraud brought up in an anti-semetic house hold.

I’m going to stop you right there because I can and will say something. First and foremost, your reference to President Obama as “our messiah” is not only ignorant, it’s insulting. I am proud to say I voted for Obama, and it was not because I view him as a messiah. I am atheist and have no need for religious leaders of any kind. It is the right wing, and the right wing ONLY, that has been calling Obama a “messiah”. Psychologically, I think this says more about people like you than it does about people like me.

Second, what you’re claiming makes no logical sense at all. You’re buying into the disgusting comments made by Rev Wright about how Obama is protected by Jews, but then you try to imply he’s anti-Semitic. If Obama was really anti-Semitic, then why would he have chosen Jewish people for key roles in his administration?

Lastly, Obama wasn’t “sight-seeing” in Paris. He was there for a commemoration of D-Day which, if you know anything about history, happened this time of year. So he had no choice on the timing of the trip.

You really need to stop getting your information from right-wing media. Not if you are interested in the truth, because they sure as hell aren’t going to give it to you.

Jeffrey Hulsebos Says

You can say all kinds of things. For instance you said enough for us to know you are a moron a hater an anti Semite and a fool. I urge to NOT take a good hard look at yourself. Anyone as stupid and pathetic as you are would just crumple and cry for days at the waste of life you are. You would need medication at the thought of how stupid and pathetic you are. Just slink quietly away and stop humiliating yourself. Do the entire world a favor and just STFU. You CAN say things its just that someone as stupid as you probably shouldnt.

Fox News is bizarre. It’s like a big PsyOps organization.

And for the record…A white guy with multiple divorces that sits alone in his basement typing into his computer about how much he hates everything isn’t a white supremacist, he is a person suffering from either schizophrenia or a delusional disorder because he is holding odd-beliefs that no one around him believes. White supremacists either go out and wear silly little robes hate catholics, blacks, jews, homosexuals, and Brown vs. Board of Education. The difference is that although they are both sickening thoughts the white supremacist isn’t psychotic because he can find other numskulls to hang out with, can mysteriously keep a wife, and can accomplish tasks other than typing into a computer.

Nobody can say anything anymore. Not with all of those Jews stopping them from talking to Obama. Your messiah is a fraud brought up in an anti-semetic house hold. Maybe the next time you can write a story that is actually news worthy, oh here is one look up the drive-by shooting that happened at a military recruiting depot in Arkansas. Where was the denunciation of the attack, oh yeah Obama was too busy sight seeing in Paris and ordering Senate to fix health-care….Our country is being run by cowards and idiots -there is a news story worth writing about. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, I’ll give you a topic: think progress is neither about thinking or progressively making anything better in the world.

What a buffoon. The Tiller murder was big news because it was the culmination of a long history of pro-choice/anti-choice conflict and violence against Tiller by anti-choicers. The story was really much bigger than just Tiller.

Yesterday’s shooting was big news because it happened on the National Mall in DC in the Holocaust Museum. It has as background a DHS report on post-election right wing extremism, which was major news, and it was the object of mountains of bile from the right wing.

The murder of the recruiter was certainly newsworthy, but it didn’t have the context which made it a big story. The victim wasn’t prominent, the location wasn’t prominent. If more than one person had been killed, the story would have been bigger, certainly.

Did anyone notice the segment with Amanda Carpenter and the Website that showed women holding up signs in front of there faces that read “I am Dr. Tiller.”?
They both agreed that if those women are so proud of getting an abortion “why do they hide behind the signs?”
Is he trying to get more people killed?
Is he going to post there photos, home addresses, church they attend, schools there children might attend, etc…?
My God, why isn’t someone arresting this man for “inciting violence?”
That kind of “free speech” is getting people killed and O’Reilly just keeps the throttle down and riles up as much hatred as he can.

Silly us for thinking Fox is a news channel.
It’s a propaganda channel.
When a right winger commits an atrocity, Fox
A) ignores it
B) Spins it to make the perpetrator into a leftie

Ah, so now that the shooter has been outed exhaustively as a right winger, suddenly, its affiliation it’s not ‘newsworthy’. Hypocrite.

I guess it’s a testament to human intelligence that O’Lieley has to keep hammering in the stupid. If these Fox news viewers, who have Fox nattering on all day were to be deprived of Fox news for six weeks, the improvement in their mood would be off the charts, and the world would look rosier.

… been gone all day… this is what i see when i open up:

Slain officer remembered as a ‘gentle giant’
CNN – ?58 minutes ago?
By Doug Gross (CNN) — After stints as a guard in the jails of Washington, DC, and on the streets of post-Katrina New Orleans, Stephen Tyrone Johns had settled in to a job he liked at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, family members said.
…

how sad…

and i see there is finally an updated picture of the murderer.
saw that last night for only a glimpse, while that red-headed smirking guy kept being shown… he has aged as ugly as his soul.
