Oh Snap!

And just like that, the whole Romney Tax narrative vanishes.

Not only is he NOT a tax cheat, he actually paid MORE than he needed to pay.

And he gives more to charity than all the others in the Presidential race combined.

He paid more on an average DAY than Joe Biden did ($995) for the whole year in 2007.

I so can't wait to watch Rachel Madcow and Chris "Tingly" Matthews try to explain this away.

You can actually watch MSNBC??? You have a stronger stomach than I! Although I did watch it the day after the Wisconsin re-call election. I like to watch a good cry! :boohoo:

Actually, I've been watching MSNBC and CNN almost exclusively.

Kind of an exercise in perspective.

It can be pretty frustrating, though.

Anyone who tries to say FOX is more biased than MSNBC is absolutely brain-damaged.

The only Republican/Conservatives they have on are this Steve Schmidt clown, who sits there looking like he's in a hostage video, offering the weakest of pablum responses while the rest of those idiots Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Chris Matthews rant like a crackhead on an episode of COPS.

And how can you even pretend to be a legitimate source for news when you have Al Sharpton on your actual payroll, with his own show?

That would be like FOX hiring David Duke and giving him a show.

On a distance-from-center scale, FOX is comparable to CNN. maybe a 2 to 2.5 on a scale of 5 away from center.

MSNBC is like a 10 on a scale of 5 away from center.

They are literally the media arm of the Obama campaign.

Does anyone actually believe it's just a coincidence they made their slogan Lean Forward?

The various anchors and show hosts all have these sickening "commercials" where they are either mouthing their support for specific Obama campaign principles, or railing against Republican policies.

It's mind-boggling to observe.

Well-said.

For the most part, the rest of the world and its religions have gone through a renaissance, and in so doing, entered the modern world.

Islam has yet to do so.

It is up to Islam to monitor itself.

Those Muslims who say it's just the extremists must be very vocal in decrying and denouncing the ACTS committed.

It's not enough to simply say (as they often do) "Islam is a religion of peace".

They need to speak out loudly, in large groups, and get their house in order.

It's not the rest of the world's responsibility to worry about Islam's failure to be civilized.

I think Islam should be placed on notice, and Mecca should be the warning.

Denounce and take whatever action is necessary to separate the violent extremists from those who represent a religion of peace, or we blow up Mecca.

Shocking?

So what?

The Taliban (Muslims) destroyed/blew up ancient religious shrines in Afghanistan as they were taking control.

They have no problem destroying and desecrating other cultures' and religions' holy shrines and artifacts.

So they should be subject to the same consequences.

And if it becomes necessary to bomb Mecca, they have no one to blame but themselves for tolerating such widespread violence and savagery among their own.

Good thing I'm not in charge, amirite? :P

Thank god that you are/were not in charge, else we would also have to blow up the Vatican for World War 1 and 2.

Truth be told if you're crazy you're crazy. Blowing stuff up, no matter how satisfying, will not turn a bunch of savages into a respectable culture. We need a real leader who will put his foot up the extremists hind quarters when they get out of line. The only thing savages like the radicals who blow up innocent people will be kept in check by is force. It would be great if they could just accept that people are different and you don't need to kill them for it or even if you could blackmail them into behaving but that won't happen.

They'll listen for a second and then kill you anyway. There's no reasoning with the assholes.

^ It's bad enough those people are suffering through her singing at a concert but they also have to hear her talk. I thought Obama was going to make torture illegal? I guess that was just another campaign lie.
