Lou Dobs and Anderson Cooper are great-

Unread postby Kylon » Thu 28 Jun 2007, 12:59:20

I know I've posted this somewhere else, but I think Lou Dobs and Anderson Cooper are great.

Anderson Cooper's program addresses things like, growing Islamic fundamentalism, Peak Oil, and the illegal immigration program.

Lou Dobs is focusing on illegal immigration.

I think they are both doing the public a great service.

I don't care for Andy Cooper but Lou Dobbs is about the only guy in the business world who is against immigration reform as it now stands.

He points out correctly that it is all about big business fist fucking the average US citizen. The lunacy of the fact that the US government has chosen to ignore the current laws on the books, yet they want to make new ones to cover their own fecklessness is not lost on him.

Thankfully the idiotic green card hand out to all illegals program that Bush desperately wanted is DOA. A glimmer of common sense is rarely seen in DC.

When the economy starts to seriously and permanently unwind over the coming decade, the USA shall certainly regret the decision to import 100 million (mostly) uneducated people over the past three decades.

I do not think there is one media company in the US that is truly fair and balanced even CNN now has very pro Israel bias. Time Warner put Ted Turner out on his ass as quick as they could. Every news organization is working an angle but it you can pick up bits and pices of truth from all of them.

They took the guy who invented cable news and got rid of him as fast as they could. He was free thinker and that is dangerous.

Bill O'Reilly has wrongly been labeled as a conservative and right winger he is not, he is in fact an idiot. The man truly sucks ass, it is a well know fact that he loves to copulate with goats and got his start by engaging in lewd and lascivious acts with Rupert Murdoch.

Before we start singing the praises of mister Cooper, remember that he is in fact, through his mother, directly descended from the Vanderbilt family.

Lou Dobbs occassionally brings light on some pertinent issues, but the vast majority of the Mainstream Media is BS.

Woah now, Eli.

Bill O'Reilly is NOT that bad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_O%27Reilly_political_beliefs_and_points_of_view

1. He's not a registered Republican.
2. He doesn't have sex with animals.
3. He never performed lewd acts with Mr. Murdoch.

Bill O'Reilly has a huge ego and loves to promote himself. His entire show is a way to add to his ego balloon.

But as far as his politics, he's a moderate conservative. I'll quote from the wikipedia article about his political beliefs (I can quote the actual sources if you'd like)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')'Reilly said of the Bill Clinton impeachment that it "was not about sex. This is about honesty and cruelty. For Mr. Clinton, it was about undermining the justice system."


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')e has supported stricter border controls, including placement of the National Guard troops on the US-Mexican border and has criticized Bush for not allocating enough resources to make border security effective. He also criticized Ronald Reagan's act of amnesty, claiming that it made the illegal immigration problem worse.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')We cannot intervene in the Muslim world ever again," he said. "What we can do is bomb the living daylights out of them (...) no more ground troops, no more hearts and minds, ain't going to work."$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')'Reilly supports civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, but has said that nobody has the "right" to marriage, citing that marriage, like driving a car, is a privilege, not a right. He has said that if the government felt marriage was a right, then it would not stop polygamists and incestuous couples from getting married.


[quote]O'Reilly generally supports the science behind global warming, although he has said that he is not entirely certain that fossil fuels are the cause. Nonetheless, he has expressed support for a long-term strategy to curb fossil fuel use. He has said he would not support the Kyoto Treaty for economic reasons, but supports the use of fewer polluting agents, more conservation, and "tons more innovation" such as tax credits for alternative fuels.[quote]

Does any of that sound like far right wing fringe talk?

Sure, the man is a jerk to his guests, but a goat-f***er? Give me a break.

OK he may or may not have ever fucked a goat, the jury is still out. There are people who claim to have photographic evidence of this. The pictures were taken while he was vacationing in Belize. The photos are not that clear and their is some evidence that the pictures may actually be of a local man named Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (also known as the rat).

Bill O is a complete dick weed however and that is not in question. And right now as we speak, scientist at the Alternative Energy department of Uppsala Sweden are looking into ways to capture the power of the sun shining from Bill O'Reilly's ass.

Recently lead scientist Evert Vedung has been quoted as saying "we feel that if this light, shinning from the buttocks of Mr. O'Reilly, could be harnessed the whole PO problem could be eliminated."
