You're full of shit.

 BF> He isn't as you must have seen by now.

You have no room to talk, asshole.

 BF> Denying to even check out the links you posted shows otherwise.

 JB>> I've certainly expressed Democratic bias though, and don't really

 BF> No one really are.

 BF>>> I believe McCain can do many good things to the American people and
 BF>>> I've heard that he have many good ideas but when it comes to
 BF>>> foregin politics he's just as bad as Bush.

 JB>> McCain was generally fine in my book till he started the 'ol typical

 JB>> things, but once they take it to that level, it's just stupid.  When
 JB>> you're trying to become president, argue with their opinions or
 JB>> plans, but don't try to insult them simply based on their party.

 BF> I agree.

 BF>>> And I've even heard Obama say some bulshit as well like: There
 BF>>> isn't any other country in the world where a colored man can live
 BF>>> as good as in USA. Hasn't he ever been outside of USA? Hell, many
 BF>>> of them have it better than me in Sweden for example.

 JB>> Barack is likely just trying to appeal to black folk with stuff like
 JB>> that.

 BF> It's when being a patriot turns to fanatism.

 BF>>> You speak of total freedom for everyone in USA but not when it
 BF>>> comes to wiman obviously. Sounds like here when the church had
 BF>>> something to do with it.

 JB>> Anti-abortionists here are generally conservatives/Republicans.
 JB>> I've never personally known a Democrat who opposed abortion, though
 JB>> I'm sure some do.  I just think there are many circumstances where a

 BF> I agree. Bothering so much about every single life but not about
 BF> those 50
 BF> 000 ambulances not beeing able to go to nearest hosptital...I just

 BF>>> Someone have to pay for everything and who is paying for the war in
 BF>>> Iraq? And when that money is gone, from where does the new money
 BF>>> come from? The republican party? Fox have already said that every
 BF>>> instance in USA have accepted to raise the tax later this year.

 JB>> We'll apparently just keep borrowing it until the dollar isn't worth
 JB>> the paper it's printed on.

 BF> And let China to take over.

 BF>>> There are crooks in every party and I wonder how Fox would report
 BF>>> if/when a republican would be caught with his pants down.

 JB>> Former Republican congressman Mark Foley was involved in a scandal
 JB>> involving him sending sexually explicit messages and emails to
 JB>> teenage boys.  There were also accusations from boys who said they
 JB>> had actually had relations with him.  He later resigned. But Fox
 JB>> News "accidently" labeled him as a Democrat. At another point, Brit
 JB>> Hume of the channel tried to compare Foley's attempts at pedophilia
 JB>> to Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinksy thing, as if that's
 JB>> possible.  This whole scandal later included several other
 JB>> Republicans accused of similar behavior, but you didn't see Fox
 JB>> going out of their way to cover it.

 BF> Why am I'm not surprised.

 JB>> "From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET on August 27, Fox News devoted only 3
 JB>> minutes and 47 seconds to segments discussing Sen. Larry Craig's
 JB>> lewd-conduct arrest. By contrast, MSNBC aired 8 minutes and 26
 JB>> seconds of coverage on the story, while CNN aired 20 minutes and 38
 JB>> seconds."

 BF> I'm still not surprised.

 BF>>> I guess that Fox is happy for Rev. Wright. They have shown him 10
 BF>>> times/hour the past week. Wonder what they would have done for a
 BF>>> week without him.

 JB>> Probably would have done the usual of telling how awesome the war is
 JB>> going, or continue to focus on Spitzer, I assume.

 BF> Well, it's good to be back home where news are reported as they
 BF> should be, as news, no matter whom it concern.
