CNN made a major mistake in dumping Dobbs. I'm not a Dobbs fan, but I believe the network made a colossal mistake.

Read the article more carefully. There's a reason I put a question mark after the link.

Yeah. It was written by Bill Press. He only wishes Dobbs was fired.

Hannity Fomenting Civil War Again
Reported by Ellen - Fri 1:47 AM
Lovely, looney Ellen whines about Hannity "fomenting" civil war and "hinting" at a new revolutionary war.
Do I really have to explain to these morons about the Revolutionary War?
Why do they hate our founders? These are people who gave their lives for freedom.
I doubt very seriously if today's protestors would even consider such action.

AWWWW. Poor Bill Press. Sounds like he's still stinging from getting his leftist butt fired from CNN.
Sour grapes, anyone?

That video is proof positive that most people are just plain stupid and all liberals are dumber than dirt.

Whoa there Blackflon, don't go dismissing a new revolutionary war so fast.
In the Hannity "town hall", did anybody catch that? What was with the token liberal lady who kept getting called on who just spewed talking points and Obama praise as if she were a brainless tape recorder? She was pissed about Bush spending 1B/mo on Iraq but when it came to Obama spending more than Bush and every other president combined in history she was silent.

"Miss Julie, one of Chief Liar Ellen's poodles is now into writing comedy."
Does she actually address anything of substance about the lies we expose from Fox hater frauds? Or is it just more personal attacks?

It's more personal attacks. Once again, I'm lucky I didn't come up.
Meanwhile, the guy who commented to Alisyn Camerota 14 months ago continues to leave nasty comments at my blog. And Ashley and I continue to be the target.

Nope, she never addresess the issue of News Hounds lies and distortions. She can't address the truths that appear here in the weekly Fox Haters segment.
Actually her post appears to be an effort to get some kind of direct response from you to her. Don't fall into that trap.

I have no problem with people rising up against their rulers. It worked back then but, like I said, I don't think people today have the long term staying power to do something like that.

Hmm. That reminds me of something a certain MSNBC personality does night after night on his show.

Via Twitter, Tammy Bruce and Amanda Carpenter on with guest host Laura Ingraham, The Factor should be worth watching! Tammy to address town hall meetings, Amanda address's Palin's role in the health care debate.

Greta Van Susteren Disses Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
Reported by Ellen - Fri 1:59 PM
These morons are actually supporting Sheila Jackson Lee and her idiocy at her town hall meeting.
I guess they missed her appearance on CNN with Rick Sanchez where she made a conplete fool of herself.
Even DemocraticUnderground.com was embarrassed.

Apparently your refusal to go along with Jules puerile games has the poor thing in a fit of hysterical excitement.
It would appear the less than lucid Jules is obsessing over this site. I'm thinking Jules is not able to able to deal rationally with having her mendacious ways exposed here.
How Sad

This will get more interesting as we get closer to the primaries next year. Spector who has the backing of Obama & Company, will no doubt be putting pressure on Sestak to dump.
In the begining, nobody knew who Sestak was. His numbers have been changing as people have got to know him.
Not so much FNC, but it will be interesting how this plays out on CNN or MSNBC if Sestak is able to get close or even pass Spector in the closing weeks.

Toomey fans can take heart, Pat is beating them both at this point. Still, it is a long way till next November.

If Thursday's ratings were a prizefight somebody would have stopped it out of mercy.
Can you say smoked?
Can you say Blood Bath?
We are getting into the middle of August and the ratings should be dropping (but they ain't) for FNC just because it's that time of the year (vacation).
Makes you wonder what is going to happen when everybody comes back in Sept. and going into next year?

Wow did Lawrence ODonnell have his rear end handed to him today on MSNBC. Newsbusters has the story.
Once again, he doesn't let someone on the right answer questions. In this case, it was Rep. John Culberson (R-Tex.) Culberson was having none of that.

A certain poster here would have you believe that Beck was finished the other day.
But look at those ratings!
Great job to everyone at Fox.

Johnny, why does Julie keep claiming that the photo of Ellen is copyrighted? Is the other one with the Outfoxed poster copyrighted too?

Beck is a long ways from being finished, but the last two days the fire has dimmed a little. Both days Greta had a higher demo and overall. Beck usually is number 3 in the FNC lineup.
I was surprised to see that. It's hard to compare with that 5 hour time difference but even harder to compare with the other three networks so far behind.

Didn't find the Whole Interview yet, it looks like our 'Rude MSNBC Host' was at it again.

As soon as find the Whole segment I'll try and post it.
