Chip Bok for October 24, 2009

Oh, get real!!

They couldn’t, for they have been a part of the 0bama’s brown-shirt army for the past couple of years.

Nonsense, petergrt; they’re owned and operated for the most part by conservatives. Remember ClearChannel banning the Dixie Chicks from their huge network because they dared to dis President Bush?

You are now being silly. Even 0bama acknowledged that they all voted for him.

Dixie Chicks fan, are you?

I doubt that I have ever heard them perform - Mahler is more my speed, but if I recall correctly, after their Bush loathing rant in London, they tanked in the US.

It seems that people that liked their sort of music, liked / respected President Bush more.

peter, the DixieChicks did not tank in the US, although there was a predictable backlash. They are, after all, country singers. But they have been playing to sold out audience in this country for several years since that comment.

Yeah, the fact that a one-time nominee for vice president was getting a little on the side really endangered our nation, didn’t it? THANK GOD Fox News uncovered that vital threat to democracy, together with a guy who signed a petition he hadn’t read and the fact that a nationwide social organization hired a couple of dopes at a local office.

Now, about those weapons of mass destruction …

I don’t see how the Edwards affair was covered any less than, say, the Ensign or Sanford ones. We didn’t get as much dumpster-digging, hand-wringing and public denounciation as we had at the Lewinski scandal, and I for one am not missing THAT one bit. A politician who was big on preaching moral and family values (as imo Edwards was, for a Democrat) was found to have an extramarital affair. It was the talk of the town for a week, dealt probably a crippling blow to their future political ambitions, and then something new came up.

I have given my opinion on the ACORN “scandal” before, and the Van Jones “issue” is no better. Now, where were the media when poorly (or not at all) substantiated WMD stories were being fed to the US people? When the Downing Street memos appeared. You know, when facts relevant to important policy decisions were being shown… elsewhere? They were lapping at the feet of the administration, swallowing everything crammed down their throat for years on end.

Hell, even a dog can get enough of that.

Ridiculous. All of these things were, in fact, covered by the mainstream media. In fact, they kept on the stories long after the tabloids and Fox let them go. Just as one example, did Fox ever report on the number of Acorn offices that kicked the Pimp out, or attempted to get the Ho into a battered women’s shelter? Fox barks once and then walks away; Journalists stay with a story and try and get all the facts.

A fun note: After their anti Bush comments some of their concerts were cancilled but the CD sales soared at the same time.

dear fuzzy one concert in kc cancelled because low ticket sales cd sales soared like lead balloon

ALL the media jumped on these, and other silly, or downright stupid “distraction” stories rather than the long surfacing truths about the economic problems, or outright fabrications that got us into wars- instead praising Bush’s rah rah.

I don’t care for country music, only own one “country” cd- bought the Dixie Chicks album the day Faux and the righties attacked them for telling the truth.

More importantly how about when that PoS watchdog parroted the lies/misinformation about Iraq? Even that bastion of “liberal media” the NYT regurgitated the idiocy about needing to invade Iraq.

If you’re going to pick your battles against the media at least pick one worth fighting.

“They were lapping at the feet of the (Bush) administration, swallowing everything crammed down their throat for years on end.”

You guys are living in a diagonal universe.

See my response to your comments on Benson for who’s living in a parallel universe there Petey.

Actually, it’s DIAGONAL universe.

If you were living in a parallel universe there would have to have been some semblance of rational thought.

Nobody died because of those stories, unlike Iraq.

That’s funny, I thought about it, but it is precisely defined relative to the reality, whereas diagonal can be virtually any vector, and it provided a much better fit for what I wanted to say.

Yes peter, but it’s still nonsense.

Oh my mistake. Ha boy do I have egg on my face…. what I meant to say is that “you’re an idiot.”

Stan! Yo, Stan! Over here…

Put me down on that list, please! I love lists. I’m ,er, I guess a foreign agent. Technically I don’t think I qualify as a traitor in your eyes but I’m sure you can come up with a grand title just for me! :-)

Gosh! A list, I’m gonna be on a list ! :-D

(ha! Just when things were becoming routine, along comes another village idiot to make things more fun ;-) )

Oh nooooooooo!

Oh boohoo! (but as a foreign agent I can offer my services as a double-agent, whatchasay, eh?)

Stan goes on the knee-jerk, jingoist, Fox News talking points regurgitator list.

Nice to see your first comment here isn’t about anything of substance… just about personal attacks.

Um…. you actually removed that comment from its context entirely.

Joe the Plumber presented himself as something that he absolutely was not, therefore he opened himself up to the criticism that he is a liar.

Palin lied repeatedly as well and therefore… you guessed it… opened herself up to the criticism that she is a liar.

The dog won’t bite you.
