1. Those faux talking heads are so-o-o rude and condescending. nt

[BlueDonkey08]

16. Agreed

They're just flat out idiotic.

[kwolf68]

2. Fox News = Dung

That guy did well though. Faux News is hilarious. It's almost like a comedy channel now.

[Caradoc]

5. Love her comment about Powell...

When the guest brought up 'well, Colin Powell endorses Obama and he's a republican...' she replied 'well, he's a moderate.' Exactly, haircut, he's a moderate, unlike McCain, most of the republican party and especially Faux news...nothing moderate about them.

3. We lock up terrorists so Ayers must not have been a real terrorist.

[bjobotts]

4. Ayers never said"I wish I had bombed more", he said"I wish I had done more to stop the Viet-nam war"

[bjobotts]

6. Fox twists words and use innuendo to smear with no turth in facts.

[bjobotts]

7. Just like McCain and the ACORN comment.No basis in fact just lies.

[bjobotts]

9. We now know the Gulf of Tonkin attack was a lie, the war was a lie

[bjobotts]

10. Yet we call those who dropped bombs on villages unprovoked-heroes.

[fryguy]

13. Faux doesn't let facts get in the way of opinions - eom

[fryguy]

8. Faux New = "gotcha journalism"

Is it me, or does watching them interview someone remind anyone else of hyenas hunting? They way they gang up to try and take down a larger, clearly more knowledgeable and educated guest is the same way the hyenas bring down large animals in the Serengeti.


And don't mind what the guest is actually saying, distort it in misleading questions to present your pre-conceived and pre-programed agenda. Looks like they've learned from Master Bill-O on how to interview someone.

[Peregrine Took]

11. It takes TWO Fox cowards to try to debate ONE articulate Democrat.

As soon as he starts to really make some points their philosophy must be to both start shrieking at the same time to drowned him out.
Pathetic!!!
Just like O'Reilly - he has to SHOUT over them.

These fools apparently don't know that the one who speaks the softest wins.

[fryguy]

12. like i said in my post above

reminds me of hyenas

[litlady]

14. The commentators in this are horrendous, not seeing any fair and balanced...

Fox News is indeed biased anyways, but these commentators are just idiots and don't even let their guest talk. This whole interview angers me. And what am I missing about Bill Ayers? As an educator, I respect some of his views on teaching, education reform, and educating low-income children etc. Isn't it good that he chose to reform? And the picture stepping on the flag, isn't that a constitutionally protected right?

These people only see good and evil - like Bush they use this rhetoric to reduce the world to an easily understood dichotomy so thinking is not necessary.

[BREMPRO]

15. I tired of these fascist parrots on Faux. News..

They are just representing the Republican position rather that trying to get at the truth of a story.
They should really be called Fox Opinion, not NEWS.

[Forrest Greene]

17. Boy, That Blondini Sure Did

...rattle-talk fast. Hope she didn't hurt her mouth or anything.

[omen]

18. Wow Owned - REC THIS

KR

[RainDog]

19. omg

no wonder some people in this nation are nuts. if you watch this shit, it will makes you nuts.

[Hulk]

20. What's up with the propaganda network and their whores???

They have been getting their wrinkled asses handed to them, and I would think they would learn sooner than later. This fellow did a fine job of clarifying the point that Bill Ayers has NOTHING to do with who Senator Barack Obama is today...or ever for that matter.

The repug/neocon/fascist party is desperate, and the old fart is seeing his dream crumble before his eyes. Smear is all they have left. Actually, it's really ALL they had to begin with. It's a sad day for the "gop". Not so grand. Moldy and decaying is a better description of the party.

Start from scratch...WITHOUT the religious f*cktards this time.

[Tutankhamun]

21. The longer the Repubs stay in power the harder it gets for

these Faux News douchebag apologists to spit out their talking points without that caught-with-pants-down expression on their faces.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

22. They're just plain rude

All that interrupting of the guest - well, where I come from, that's considered very bad behavior. You do NOT treat your guest that way, even if you don't agree with what the guest is saying.

Idiots with bad manners. What a terrible combination.

And isn't it just so fucked up that the guy - the "host," whoever he is (I don't watch Fox) - repeated that same bullshit about Obama "starting his candidacy in Ayers's living room"? Obama specifically called that one out, but they do keep going on.

And people believe them.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

[Rotato]

23. It's funny

It's funny how much the Republicans rely on the "what isn't he telling us?" argument.

What isn't Saddam Hussein telling us about WMDs?
What do you have to hide that you don't want the government listening to your phone calls?
What isn't Barack Obama telling us about his relationship to Bill Ayers?

The Republicans have been trying to farm Obama's relationship to Ayers to sow doubt in Americans' minds, but the harvest has been meager, especially when people's doubts about McCain are so much heartier (does McCain know economics? is he too angry? is he too ignorant? is he senile? will he die in office? can Palin really do the job?).

24. Every time he tries to make a valid response to the interviewers' attacks,

they try to shout him down and won't let him talk. I've NEVER seen such rudeness by supposed journalists in my life. Well, what do you expect from FAUX??
