Might I remind all that Secretary Napolitano, I believe, made her first retraction regarding her definition of "right-wing extremism" in response to a FNC journalist's question.

Thank you FOX NEWS for being the check on our current administration as they wield great power over our nation. Your example will hopefully wake up many in other news organizations who have allowed themselves to serve a different purpose these past several months.
Objective journalism is a discipline easily lost, either intentionally or because of sheer laziness.
Oh, and who was that FNC journalist who pressed our public servant so well? He is derided often on this blog by some and in the left-wing media.....
Steve Doocy (6:30 in the clip above)
Thank you Mr. Doocy!

Now wait, these are the same people at Dollar's site that rave on about O'Reilly being the #1 "cable news" program. So how if he is just an opinion/commentary program is it a "news" program? Maybe the people that rate these shows should rethink.

Great American Sean Hannity Supports Threat of Secession
Reported by Ellen - April 17, 2009 - 9 comments
Another big lie from Big Momma.
Just check the video and tell us where Hannity supports the threat of secession. It did not happen.

Takes at least an 6th grade education to figure that out, so lets cut Johnt some slack.

It's not just JohnT, Patrick is also quick with a "prove it" too. Ironic he does that because, as we all know, the little one is not capable of backing up any of his claims. The best he can ever do is toss off a "nyah nyah nyahnyah nyahhhhhhhh, then run away. He's quite childlike.

The l'il feller (Patrick/Weston) is quite the dope.
After being banned from NH as Michael Weston, he immediately creates the David Troyer name and declares that he is not Weston/Patrick.
Then of course, he returns to his Weston ways of calling me boy/girl and the usual vulgarities.
Now today Blackflon, you and I are discussing Patrick/Little One/L'il feller, and as David Troyer he tells the world that we are talking about him.
If anyone at NH following that thread does not believe that Troyer is Weston, they are an idiot. I can't understand why they make a big deal out of banning Weston then allow him to return immediately under a different name.

why all the outrage on fox-and conservative radio about dhs "right wing extremist" when dhs did one for the left wing also? and how long did it take to do this study?? and who started it? former pres bush??
and notice how the left wing report didnt get leaked-just the right wing report?
FROM FOXNEWS.COM:
FOX News has obtained a copy of the assessment, dated Jan. 26 and titled "LEFT-WING Extremists Likely to Increase Use of Cyberattacks Over the Coming Decade." It concentrates largely on the technical savvy of left-wing extremists and not bloodshed.

"I can't understand why they make a big deal out of banning Weston then allow him to return immediately under a different name."
Because that was the plan. When "Michael Weston" began to be a liability, Ellen made a big show of banning him, then let him back in under another name. Notice how quickly after the banning "Troyer" showed up as a new registrant, went straight to Patrick/Weston's favorite thread, and immediately jumped in recycling all of Patrick's old name-calling and smears.
It's pretty good evidence that Ellen is deliberately enabling Patrick in her never-ending quest to catch that White Whale she's been after for years.

While discussing Craigslist on BOR, he said "now you have to enter a credit card number to enter" and that the site is financially supported "by advertisements". Obviously, he's never visited the site. It is free to post and there isn't an ad to be seen on the 100% text based website.

You just said that you said it, brainiac. You were wrong when you attempted to say it and when you said it- Geraldo has always been Geraldo and didn't change his stripes.
I'm not certain that he's eager to move on too soon either, there's nowhere left to go but down in terms of cable news networks.
