I need some brain bleach. I actually watched a half-hour of Hannity last night.

Dear lord, no wonder serial Fox Watchers are so stupid. This man is just one big steaming turd pile of misinformation and hate. It was him, some other Tea Bagger mouthpiece, and token liberal Juan Williams. The two of them just beat up on Williams, talked over him, ridiculed him...yet, every Tea Bagger I ever talk to says Fox is totally fair, just like MSNBC in that they have "liberal" opinion-makers on all the time. Hey, guess what? I was actually invited to be a guest on Fox's morning program to talk about health care, based upon a health care comic strip I was doing at the time! I turned them down, citing exactly the treatment I saw last night -- the liberal guest isn't there for balance or to enlighten anyone, he/she is there merely as a punching bag. My quick wade into the Hannity cesspool last night proved it. Juan Williams was barely allowed to talk, as Hannity called him names, spewed lies and made-up "facts" about the ACA and what the "debt" is as opposed to "the deficit," on and on and on.

I feel filthy just having watched 30 minutes of this crap. It just reinforces the notion that Fox viewers really, truly are the stupidest people on earth.

LOL! That seems to be the reaction. Like "why did you stick that needle in your eye?!"

I drank coffee too late in the evening, and I was killing time waiting for the Daily Show to come on. I was just curious as to what they're actually saying, as I still communicate with a few old friends who've turned 'Bagger. It was really an awakening.

It's nothing but anger and misinformation. I'm a big fan of free speech and the freedom of choice, but that station should be banned (I'll let them think of some witty reason to do so). I will not frequent any establish that shows Faux in their waiting room.

I'm only surprised that more Faux watching soft-heads haven't gone nuts and initiated killing sprees or episodes of insanity. From dawn to midnight, it's Government's bad, Obama's evil, they're coming for you.....

chin up, head tilted, leaning back "stare"? The guy is a one note symphony of bullshit...

Here's Fox's idea of "fair and balanced"... Satirical website posts funny fake story about Obama funding a Muslim Museum. Fox news sees it, and runs with it. Millions of viewers see the story: "Obama funds Muslim Museum while keeping WWII memorial closed"

Of course the next day during their "after the story airs fact check" they figured out they just lied to their viewers. So to be all fair and balanced Fox retracts the story.. or rather, one anchor posts a 140 character tweet letting her 40 fans know the story was bullshit. Fair and Balanced!
