Are the Dems closing down TownHalls??? Cavuto , Fox, reporting
this.

I do not know how people will interpret just closing down
town hall meetings. My initial reaction: Not good idea.

6. But they weren't the first to report it and have lied about 9/11 ever since.

12. Not yet. It's still alive on another thread about racism and the "n" word.

15. Sometimes they nail them so quickly,
and sometimes - like this - they seem to live forever.

Well, we've done what we could............................

10. Yes, I monitor Fox because I refuse to act like a lot of Democrats
and put my head in the sand.

I am a Liberal Democrat who monitors TV.

While Fox puts out a lot of propaganda showing RW support,
you ignore them at your peril.

If we had Democrats willing to stand up to the RWers
they would watch Fox Religiously and be ready to refute.

It was Fox who got the Death Panels noticed and emphasized.
Go down the list. Then we are weeks later trying to
put out a 3 alarm fire that should have been stopped when
it started.

Just because I watch Fox does not mean I agree with them.

13. Translation:
Dems are creating rules in order to prevent right-nutters from turning a townhall into a three-ring circus.

The fact that these rules have to be created in order to hold a civilized meaning is pathetic, but sadly they are necessary. Right-wing nutters apparently don't know how to act like adults.

But never underestimate faux trying to spin this as closing down a townhall.

14. Cavuto asks a cavuto. Big suprise.
Cavuto: n. To reframe an emphatic, accusatory statement as an innocent question which implies inherent evil, stupidity, swarthiness, or general negativity.

Cavuto used in sentence: Is your mother a whore? I'm not saying your mother is a whore. I'm just asking if your mother is a whore.

Coined by Jon Stewart, circa 2007.
