unbelievable -- Faux is now claiming that the Dean campaign
causes "psychosomatic" illnesses.

The reporters are all sick on the campaign trail, except Kerry's.

I have no preference -- whoever gets the Dem nod gets my vote, period -- but what the hell is this? Faux is saying that the other candidates LITERALLY make them sick, but Kerry doesn't.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

1. Why do you guys do this to yourself?


Watching Fox News and then complaining about the bias is like smacking yourself in the face with a dead fish and complaining about the pain and the smell....

4. I don't watch it -- I don't even own an idiot box
I read their website about twice a week, strictly for the purposes of arming myself to refute what my freeper mother will come at me with. It's her sole source of "news." Sigh.

9. I agree! I don't listen to Rush; I don't and never have lostened to Ann
Coulter (wouldn't know her if I passed her on the street), Hannity, Savage etc. The only way I know these assholes is threw the DU. So I would say that if half the time spent watching and listening and bitching about these people were spent doing something to get rid of Bush, we might stand a chance. I'll tell you both my wife and I are over 55, both laid off from jobs we held for at least 16 years, we are in deep shit but we if we are going down we are taking that MF, Bush with us and every f****** day we do at least one thing to help stop Bush.

13. FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST
Is there anything I can say around here and NOT get pissed on?? What if I sent you money, huh? If I sent you people all $5, would you stop pissing on every fucking post??

PART OF STOPPING BUSH IS REFUTING THE PROPAGANDA. HOW CAN WE REFUTE THE PROPAGANDA IF WE ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT THE PROPAGANDISTS ARE SAYING??

Who is more effective at refuting Ann Coulter -- you, who wouldn't know her if she passed on the street, or me, who has methodically read and studied her horseshit and can refute it point-by-point without even referring to notes??

How dare you imply that I'm not doing enough to stop whistle-ass! Jesus Herman Christ!!!

2. That is the stupidest piece of shit I have ever read!
It doesn't particularly spare Kerry at the end, either. But the innuendo against Dean is obviously worse, since it's in the headline, and the whole premise is idiotic.

:puke:

5. Wait a minute - that's not what it says
Some may wonder whether the collective condition of the Dean press corps is the psychosomatic (search) result of having to trail a candidate whose campaign appears to be suffering its own set of maladies, but it's not so. The other campaigns are also contaminated with their shares of sickness, and the other candidates have not been immune.

8. That is a rhetorical propaganda device
Some may say that the weird man who lives in the creepy house on the corner is a child molester, but it's not so.

Some may say that gay men recruit little boys to be gay, but it's not so.

See? It's putting an idea out there on purpose while cleverly distancing themselves from the idea.

10. Exactly.
The very fact that they posed the question in the headline without providing the answer marks it as a hit piece.

Imagine this headline:
"Does Supporting Bush Cause Venereal Warts?"

And six paragraphs later:
"Some say the spread of venereal warts amongst die-hard Republicans is due to their support of Bush, but it's not so."

15. Okay, I see your point
Yes, I agree. I read it again and it's like WTF? Why did they even suggest it?

I'm sorry.

Fox is bullshit. Republicans read Fox. Why do you read that shit anyway?

7. Yet we are bizarrely in denial
when we claim the press is against Dean, go figure.

14. The truth can be so hard to see.
The media is out to bury Dean before he makes a comeback.

16. Fox: they don't just report the news, they manufacture it
Aye Carumba!!

I guess the day between the Maine Primary and Virginia/Tennesee qualifies as a slow news day.
