That is such a shame about the website crash. i am dying to find out that I am indeed one of the batsh*t crazy, greedy, unintelligent, uneducated, racist conservatives. Did I miss any appropriate adjectives?

I have maybe watched a sum total of 30 minutes of Beck's show,and have yet to read one of his books. I don't think I qualify as a fan, or that I have any danger of being corrupted.

I wasn't teasing you, J Five.
I thought that Rbosque was stating what he considered fact or even more likely taking a swipe at you.
Since I agreed 100% with your comment I decided to do a little teasing of my own.

NEWSHOUNDS DISTORTS. AGAIN.
Ingraham Spews Hate About "Sob Stories" of the Uninsured
Julie, the plagairist(or is that Priscilla? I guess ir doesn't matter because they are cut from the same cloth) says Ingraham "took the opportunity to ridicule those who have no access to, or can't afford, health insurance or proper healthcare".
Now, if one reads the post you will find nowhere in that post does Ingraham riduclule those who have no access to health care. She is ridiculing the democrats for their dueling sob stories. Which is exactly one of the democrats favorite things to do in a blantant attempt to get sympathy for their health care agenda. They are notorious for such tactics.
And Ingraham is correct. It is in fact a power grab by democrats to eventually control your health care so they can get votes from the great unwashed.
My question to the Hateful Hen is this; What gives you or anyone else the right to use the government to force people to pay for your health insurance with other people's money?

"The great unwashed". Why, Blackie, are you an elitist? Tsk! I thought only liberals and Washington types were elitists!
And doesn't your last sentence contravene Johnny's rule about "no politics"? Bad boy, Blackie! Bad!

Hey, FL, I see you are here hoping to find FHWIR.
Do come by early and often if you want but Johnny usually puts it up in the early to mid evening.
Hope to see you then.
Oops, I almost forgot, thanks for reading J$P!

As is usual with the Mutts and their followers, Foxy Lady has no rational response to refute my post about their lies and distortions.

If the News Hounds had a nickle for everytime they said "spews", they could underwrite a single payer system.

Totally agree Cecelia. They detect more eye-rolling, snickering, sneering, condescension, hatred, cruelty, etc than any group I have ever encountered.

You said it.
I have often thought if they purged all such descriptions and stuck with words such as "said" or "stated" and quit obsessing over such things as Gretchen Carlson and her "christian gams" etc their posts would be at least intelligible.

The News Clowns are more offended by what my father referred to as "female pulchritude" than a Taliban street monitor.

Sunday morning shows are amazingly lopsided (more than usual) this morning... George Will vs. 4 liberals on THIS WEEK. Eric Cantor vs. 5 liberals on MTP.

That's OK Adam. 4 or 5 to 1 just makes it a fair fight.

You made me think of that famous quote about the Battle of the Bulge:
“They've got us surrounded again, the poor bastards.”
