and personal hatred for Rove is meaningless as someone like him will never see a jail cell, so why waste money that could be used to say, keep SS as it is?
we don't need a foreign anonymous entity whose motives are not clear.(which is what Rupert Murdoch is for that matter).
where does one get that this hacker is a democrat? Seems anarchist is more like it, which means on the side of noone but himself like a court jester (ala Joker).
giving these people reason to raise their ego will bite back in the end.
the voters voted Obama in. NO CT there.
BTW, I reread a great article in the NY Times about how Fox in effect screwed Rove by not backing him election night. Now, I was at a friends as Sandy the hurricane meant no electricity at our place, and we watched MSNBC not Fox.
But this Times article says Rove was believing his own hype, then the others finally got a news conscious and slapped him down, and that is why he went ballistic
NOT BECAUSE HE WAS STEALING IT, because the Fox lies did not continue that night.
They knew Obama won, and the side of some of their conscious did not allow the lies to continue and they called Ohio over Rove's objections and he didn't knnow what hit him.
It wasn't a negative. It was a positive. By people looking at their own future resumes and deciding they couldn't take the lies. That their friends on MSNBC and elsewhere were reporting the truth, and Ohio could not be won by the losers
So they called Ohio for Obama as that was reality.
nothing more nothing less
(and look how former Fox people are attempting to get into other media and disavow their past. While I myself don't trust that Major Garrett, I just read he got a new job at I think CBS as their new white house correspondent.
Fox was just a job for him it appears.
Now he is going to CBS.
same with others at Fox news.
seems like the days of rightwing political talk stations is quickly coming to an end, and Fox might just end up another sports network soon.
You don't think those faux news reporters want to continue in a media job?
Comes a point that reality sets in.
That was election night.
Finally the people at the station had enough. And told the truth.
(so there never was a secret conspiracy plot to steal the election. All it was was the dirty player Rove finally being slapped down by others who valued their own future and called the truth.
Which is a good thing, because it means there was no doubt Obama won honestly.
So the nut jobs that believed Fox could not use their guns and bullets in the street protesting a theft.
If I can find that article from right after the election, online tomorrow, I shall post it.
I never got to read those papers til today due to Hurricane Sandy, they were just stacked up.
