18. Not Saying It Is... But...

Thu Jan 30, 2014, 11:33 PM

Jan 2014

considering ONLY national televised programming... which channel is closest to the Left ?

And while were at it... how come Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman is accused of being a "Thug" all over the place, yet...

I have yet to hear ANYBODY in media call Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island) a "Thug" after threatening to trow a reporter off of a balcony and/or break him in half.

It's as if we have no idea as to how to fight back.
