I don't watch Fox News or MSNBC since they're both unwatchably dishonest in my opinion. I mainly watch CNN and CNBC. Feel free to post any internet memes about how CNN throws babies into the ocean and CNBC runs puppy mills.
I like black pugs and I cannot lie...
ACORN is corrupt, Up until recently, Wade Rathke and his brother Dale held much power within ACORN. But last year, Dale Rathke was exposed. Apparently he embezzled close to $1 million from the organization. ACORN declined to press charges.
MSNBC is set up in such a way that for every issue discussed, a Liberal and a Conservative is invited to battle it out.
The liberal anchor sets it up colored by his or her position, but allows for healthy debate.
I find that fair. I hear your hair bristling already, Righties...lol!!
Fox is basically a joke. We all know this...don't we?
The Right btw should be ashamed of themselves. They are obstructionists at the cost of the people's welfare. We all know this, don't we?
When you gonna get off your radical got blinders on left is right right is wrong bandwagon?
Left...Right...makes NO difference, simply check history, ALL are and have been obstructionists. They THRIVE on the re-puke, dem-dummy format, they like the rift they create in the public as it helps assure them in getting elected and keeping their job...We all know this, don't we?
re:Fox I've never seen it but bear in mind it's owned by Rupert Murdoch who is married to a Chinese woman (mrs. murdoch) He also owns The Times and other papers in this country. Whilst he may not have direct input his editors are not going to set out to antagonize him so you may find Fox is not completely right wing as will have Chinese sympathies.
One problem with your retort is your lines of hate filled rhetoric. Ever wonder why nothing gets done in America.
An intelligent self-made millionaire ....? I would expect more than this from you. I would expect you to take the lead and show that cooler minds prevail with your third party ... Oh wait ...............this is a 3rd party rant.
Have you and your kind ever taken the time and layout a plan that will work for all of us.
Please remember in laying out your plan America has uber rich and dirt poor and every stripe in-between and they all pay taxes. Please try and forget that very small portion of the population will be freeloaders, that 5% that might get something for nothing.
I'm not on any band wagon...thank you very much.
...and I wasn't born yesterday...I know there is corruption on both sides....but after watching Civil Rights, The Women's Movement, Gay Rights etc etc being obstructed by the Right
I see clearly who is at least trying and who is just greedy and heartless. (not to mention W and his gang of thugs)
Do you think you're so special because you see through all the shit?
(tapping fingers on table).....Well DO YOU???????
BTW....blinders don't agree with me...I scrapped them in the early 70's...

Of course Wade Ratke "held much power", He was the co-founder of ACORN, and was their chief organizer since 1970. Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN's founder Wade Rathke, was found to have embezzled $948,607.50 from the group and affiliated charitable organizations back in 1999 and 2000. ACORN executives decided to handle it as an internal matter, and signed an enforceable restitution agreement with the Rathke family to repay the amount of the embezzlement.
Now are you saying that any organization, corporation, etc., is corrupt if it has a member embezzle money from them? If that's the case I think that just about every company, organization, etc., etc. in the world would be considered corrupt.
Making a "blanket" acusation such as that is exactly what Fox News is all about. So thank you for proving my point.
BTW, for whatever reason not every embezzlement case gets prosecuted. There's nothing illegal about it. Some companies feel it better to handle it internally just like ACORN did, than to air their dirty laundry in the press.
embezzlement is illegal! if people try to cover up the crime they are trying to shield an illegal action. So don't try and say there's nothing illegal about it!
