    More like being attacked by a squirrel, though maybe rabid?

    dtrout, I’d guess yes to both.

    Since when has Osama attempted to answer a question from Fox?

    Last I checked, he’ll appear on any channel–Playboy channel, Home Shopping Network, whatever–EXCEPT Fox…

    Here is another ‘war of necessity’, albeit fought with a greater decisiveness and zeal.

    BOZOTUS has a special red-carpet lined entrance for the Al Jazeera Nutwork loons.

    He’s been on Fox. Once they got a little politer. But I think this is nonsense, and I suspect it’s some of his staff that are firing up this battle. No point to it.

    Actually that is one happy Fox – they get attention, and Obama gets nothing.

    As I said before if you get in a fight with a pig you will be fighting in the mud, where all that will happen is that you get muddy and the pig is as happy, well as happy as a pig in mud.

    “He’s been on Fox.”

    That’s right, and his interview with O’Reilly, just before the elections, have gotten him quite a few votes, as O’Reilly helped to create the notion that 0bama was not the radical leftist that he is.

    MOTIVE said: “…I suspect it’s some of his staff that are firing up this battle…”

    The name of that staff is Rahm Emanuel, and his title is Chief of Staff. None of his staff fire up any battles without his direction.

    It amazes me that the same people who STILL hold Carl “The Achitect” Rove in such contempt, even though he is now relegated to merely a political commentator, don’t see that Rahm “Dead Fish” “Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste” Emanuel holds the exact same position of Chief of Staff. Whether he’ll be as good at his job as Rove was remains to be seen. Personally, I think “The Chicago Way” will backfire with Fox, and hopefully with everything else he touches.

    0bama had at least a couple of chances to at least distance himself from the attacks. Far from it, he continued the offensive.

    Incidentally, Karl Rove, was deputy chief of staff and senior political adviser.

    Before 0bama, It would have been unthinkable for a political animal such as Rove, or Emanuel, to be the Chief of Staff.

    0bama has managed to elevate the ‘art’ of politics to heretofore unimaginable level.

    The constant whining by the right about “Chicago liberals” reminds me of the fact of the economics “Chicago Boys” of Friedman who set out to conquer, or destroy, the world in the name of the economic theories adopted by the “right”, hook, line, and homicides.

    It is an ill wind indeed that blows from the “windy city” across the globe? Righties seem to focus on the wrong nuts.

    Um Peter …. granted Rove wasn’t CoS… but he and W did a great job of elevating politics to an incredible level. That level was full of calls of traitor, actually being traitors and generally injecting toxic politics into anything and everything.

    So even if (I insist on the IF) they were more political than Bush et. al. it certainly wouldn’t be an “unimaginable level”.

    “That level was full of calls of traitor, actually being traitors and generally injecting toxic politics into anything and everything.”

    What the hell are you talking about?

    Was it anything like vilifying anyone that doesn’t agree with the administration? As in news network, insurance industry, chamber of commerce, lenders, investors, and on, and on?

    WTF!?!?!?
    Dude where the f*(% were you for those 8 years? Oh… you were watching Faux News…. makes sense.

    ANYBODY that questioned the Bush administration was shouted down as a traitor, outed as a CIA agent , fired or put in a “Free-speech zone” cage. They fired US Attys who wouldn’t push on phony charges of voter fraud too. They froze out the NYTimes, so your phony outrage is tin-hollow.

    So what if Obama is outing Fox as a Republican talking points clearing house? It’s true!

    So what if Obama is calling the insurance industry hearltess? It’s true!

    Dude seriously… wake up!

    ^ the CIA agent was ‘outed’ by a CNN reporter, and it was never proven the US attorneys firing was political…

    This President is borrowing heavily from Chavez of Venezuela.

    relentless attacks started with Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin and her family, citizens making more than 250 k, Business people, Wall street, Insurance companies, Chambers of commerce, now Fox news…and so on….

    Notice a trend?

    Who told Robert Novak in the first place? Dick Cheney via Scooter Libby who lied his @55 off to keep Fitzgerald from finding out the truth.

    Joe the Plumber is a lying sack of cr@p as is Palin.

    lalas, I totally agree with you. During the Bush years anyone disagreeing with their policies were traitors. The media did not grow a spine until after the Katrina mess.
