1. Out of Curiosity...
why would you watch that program? It's not like one would ever see a fair and balanced portrayal of anything - its like listening to Limbaugh or something. I'm just curious as to what one gets out of it if one is left leaning?

5. Reason
I never expect Faux to be "fair and balanced", but I do watch it to be able to cite the lies put forward by the right wing media and to make sure I know what the right wing will say next. It's kinda like figuring out the next move in chess. And if you don't think it is a big deal to others on this forum, just look at the responces and inquires to what happened to Mike Malloy last night.

4. A picture must
be attached to each application for the Republican scholarship so that they can be sure the applicant is white.

When I applied for my first teaching job in Alabama, I had to attach a picture. That was so that the PUBLIC school would not accidentally hire a non-white person.

That was 40 years ago (how did I get this old?), but it's because of things like this that affirmative action was necessary in the first place.

8. Honestly though,
I don't see a problem with it. I am Puerto Rican (well, half puerto rican) and I get scholarships pretty easy. They do have to write an essay, not just show a picture. I see where they are comming from.

alright let the flaming begin.

9. The problem is . . . .
that whites have had all the advantages throughout history. This scholarship bs completely ignores this. And for Hannity to say the Repubs stand for MLK's saying of judging a man by his character and not by the color of his skin is the biggest piece of bs I have ever heard.
