Should we even bother emailing our outrage to Faux?

2. Yes - not only for Mike but for Max

You can use the form on this site to kill two birds with one stone - the letter is totally free-form - not a form letter like you usually have on these kinds of things.

Take Action!
Repulsive Republican Mouthpiece Attacks Our Soldiers and a National Hero

She writes a book called "Treason," then commits it. Yesterday Ann Coulter, the hateful Republican mouthpiece, spouted her Republican propaganda again by stating that our soldiers, who are wounded in a combat situation, but not in hand to hand combat, do not deserve our respect or reverence.Coulter went on to attack former Senator Max Cleland personally, a man who volunteered to fight for his country and who lost three limbs in Vietnam. In the process, Coulter denigrated every person who has ever worn a uniform.

Max Cleland served with distinction. Miss Coulter mocks his service, mocks his sacrifice, and, in doing so, mocks the service and sacrifice of thousands and thousands of Americans in the past and today across the globe.

For example, this is how she describes Senator Cleland, "Moreover, if we're going to start delving into exactly who did what back then, maybe Max Cleland should stop allowing Democrats to portray him as a war hero who lost his limbs taking enemy fire on the battlefields of Vietnam."

Let's get one thing straight right now: Max Cleland is an American hero.

Ann Coulter, on the other hand, is a Republican hack whose hatchet job against a distinguished former Senator and American war hero should be denounced by any and every American with a conscience.

Ms. Coulter's revolting column is unfortunately the type of talk that is becoming all to frequent in today's Republican Party. They talk loud and call themselves patriots while questioning the patriotism of those who were brave enough to have fought for this country. President Bush didn't go to Vietnam. Vice President Cheney said he had "other priorities." How dare Ann Coulter question the patriotism of Max Cleland who didn't have "other priorities" but whose only priority was fighting for his country? What uniform, other than hate divisiveness, did Ann Coulter ever wear?

Please join me in telling Ms. Coulter just how wrong she is... just how misguided the Republican Party is as they attack our past veterans and insult those fighting today.

Please take a moment to write a letter to Fox News experssing your feelings on this issue.

3. Why Bother, Any station that repeats Fair and Unbalanced continually.....

Any station that has to repeat that its news is Fair and Unbalanced continually, every 5 minutes, has a real serious issue and a rant from one of us liberals is not going to make a hill of beans difference to them. They will simply toss it in the round file

[Jacobin]

4. No. They know EXACTLY what they are doing

It is pure fascist propaganda. It only lets them know they have another viewer.

No one is going to "educate" them or let them know what they are doing is not accurate. It's not designed to be accurate reporting. It's the mouthpiece of the junta.

5. Here is my email for FAUX ...

phuckin' creeps! Here is my message to them! LIARS, all of them!!

8. don't do it!

They will send your email address to Carl Rove and one night while you're sleeping they will come for you! ;)

[carols]

9. Here's my message for Herr Rove:

"Bring it on asshole - and for your little pal Johnny Ashcroft, I have a Calico Cat and I know how to use it!"

That'll teach 'em!

13. Get your defenses against Ashcroft ready...

Get out those nude busts!

[rooboy]

6. If you want to get to John Kasich...

email him the information about Newt Gingrich's word list, and ask him why he claimed to have known nothing about it. John Kasich is a LIAR, and if there's one thing Faux hates, it's being exposed.

I wouldn't mention Mike Malloy at all - the issue is Kasich's honesty.

7. Calpundit comes thru again!!

SHORTER NEWT GINGRICH....Over a decade ago Newt Gingrich wrote a pamphlet called Language, A Key Mechanism of Control, a primer on how to "speak like Newt." Among other things, it contained a list of negative words to be used when speaking of your enemies. These words, he said, should be repeated over and over and over.

Well, Newt is still Newt, and that list of words still forms the core of his speeches. In fact, it pretty much defines his speeches, including last week's all-too-typical blast at the State Department. The speech itself is too long for most of you to want to bother reading it, so instead here is Shorter Newt Gingrich:

... failure ... failure ... politics ... appeasing ... corrupt ... excusers ... murky ... deceptive ... failed ... failure ... ineffective ... incoherent ... pathetic ... hand-wringing ... desperation ... failed ... ineffective ... ludicrous ... unimaginable ... undermine ... watered down ... distorted ... disaster ... coddling ... corrupt ... absolute failure ... entrepeneurial failure ... disaster ... bureaucratic ... failures ... broken ... broken ... broken bureaucracy ... defensive ... dangerous ... collapse.

Got that?

10. this goes directly to Kasich

[e-mail]

I've had several responses from Faux in the past, though not the network's "stars" like O'Reilly or Hannity.

[Jawja]

11. Well I did

and it made me feel good.

Poor, poor pitiful Republicans. They don't understand the consequence of their actions and don't understand that the vitrole is their own creation.

12. "My Momma's Cottage Cheese Ass"

Dear FAUX News:

Just so you know, the next time one of your Nazi Drones starts mumbling
something about the 'liberal' media, I want you to remember the name
of a real, life, liberal.

This man speaks for real liberals. This man is a real liberal. When was
the last time, Herr Nazi Propagandists, that you heard a real liberal on
the air in mainstream America?

You got it. The real liberal's name is Mike Malloy, and he was on The
Heartland Saturday night.

The upshot is that the host of the show and RW panelists were so frightened
of the truth Mr. Malloy told that they overshouted him, and when that failed they
cut off his microphone.

I applaud Mr. Malloy for not tolerating this abuse, and for not sitting there
like a bowtied, weak-kneed milquetoast. When he walked out, I jumped
up and did a cheer.

But now we know that when I use the phrase Nazi Propagandist, believe
me, FAUX has earned it.

Fair and Balanced my momma's cottage cheese ass.

Regards,



Portland, Oregon

15. HAHA!!

[Ksec]

14. Why?

So they can laugh at them?

I dont waste my time with Fascists. Giving them ratings is our biggest mistake. Im guilty also but Ive nearly cut them out completely. I happened upon a show tonight and it just reeked of fascism

16. The word's cut.

...
Polls by DiVall showed that the public reacted negatively when told that Republicans would cut Medicare, but positively when informed that spending would increase but at a slower rate. "The phrase 'spending would continue to increase, but at a slower rate' is literally 20 percent to 40 percent stronger than 'reduce the rate of growth' and certainly stronger than using the word 'cut,' " the DiVall-McInturff memo said.

Republicans vowed they would raise, in Barbour's words, "unshirted hell" with the news media anytime the word cut was used in a news story. Reporters around town shared stories of getting late-night phone calls from House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich warning them to stay away from the dreaded word "I worked them over," he said. Barbour called the anchormen at NBC and ABC and a correspondent at CBS and chided them for using the word.
