19. My GF's Republican classmate watched the video, and had this amusing (and sad) response.
I'm glad this is all on record and that there were so many different voices saying many different things yet all the same thing. In 10-20years someone will be able to say I/we told you so. The country will either be in a better place or worse off and FOX will be on record for their side. MSNBC should start making their clip so they can join in and possibly have their day of glory.

I told G the other day that we need to keep record off all that is done so there will be no debate like there is now on what made everything happen. We will know what and whom happened. That is 1 thing good about 1 party having complete control, can take credit for all or get the blame for ALL.

22. I have a buddy that is a hardcore Fox watcher and he laps this up
It is odd that folks like my friend don't get that this is all just shit fed to sheep. These people sit in their homes eating in front of the TV, never leave, NEVER read anything and are made to believe that by watching AND agreeing with this clear RW agenda, they are part of something much larger and much more important than themselves. And only FOX is fair and balanced enough to give them the truth. They feed on fear and are literally living for the day that they can say "I told you so," to everybody else... but it will never come. Why? 'Cause they don't really do anything about it other than bitch and moan and watch more TV........that and forward preposterous emails chains about some BS Obama hidden agenda that is thinly veiled as a threat to the 2nd. They do cling to their guns and their religion, their Fox and boy are they ever bitter. At least in my experience.

25. I have the exact same experience with an artist friend of mine
he watches Faux all the time and listens to talk radio; he honestly DOES believe that the rest of the media is "far left liberal" and that the only truth can be found on Faux "Liberalism is dangerous! It leads to Communism and slavery and loss of Freedoms! This country is going Socialist-if you don't believe me, just wait! The indigents want to take all our money so they don't have to work-and Obama's going to give it to them..."! It's pitiful. I used to ignore his idiocy but now I question him on every point and try to set him straight. I always seem to get him backed into a corner where he just ends up changing the subject because he's out of taking points. It truly is pathetic. On one hand it's easy to just want to write the brainwashed off, but on the other hand it seems like we have to do what we can to help wake them from their fear and hate induced state of hypnosis.

3. I'll take you word for it.
My stomach will not tolerate even seconds of listening to Beck.

I go into convulsions when I vomit, so I try to stay away from anything that may cause me to:puke:

8. Beck, et al
Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. are bellicose blowhards. I am
positive that most of you know who watches Faux News: the
unintelligent and uneducated who believe every word these
Goebbels say.

9. Kudos to MM for putting this together.
I hope they keep it going. It would be interesting to see one done with even shorter clips but for the whole first year. You just know it will continue. The Presidents approval rating is above 60% but it would seem to be the opposite if one strictly listened to these assclowns. I certainly can't watch any of these programs, but I appreciate there are some people willing to document all the crap from FAUX News thrown at Obama. It's astounding really. A non-stop daily barrage of salacious disinformation and hype. Can you imagine if a news network (not FAUX obviously) had gone on this kind of daily warpath against Dubya?

It's clearly a long term plan. They don't have the poll numbers to back up their outlandish assertions today. What they do is slowly chip away, catapulting the propaganda, as their former Decider put it. They want to get it into the mass consciousness that Obama represents a type of totalitarian socialism, so that when issues like universal medicare finally get on the front burner they will have built up a large base of drones that can fight with them against their own health interests, and instead help their boss Murdoch and his corporate friends. They cater to the idiocracy and what is sad is that in the past it has proven a reliable support group.

FAUX News and all the Reich Wing radio talk shows polluting the airwaves are the biggest scourge in America, preventing the country from moving forward and keeping up with places like Europe who have moved ahead on issues like public health, gay marriage and developing green industries.

10. That entire video is filled with nothing but pure hatemongering
Besides, what's wrong with socialism? They say it like it's a bad thing. Of course, they wouldn't know what socialism was if they were staring at it in the dictionary, but that doesn't stop them from throwing around terms that they know their key demographic doesn't understand either.

12. Well they are down to 21% of the electorate and only 40 Senators.
It is amazing to me that they stick to the same old shit. How long do they think it will play?

17. Fear! Hate! Fear! Hate! Fear! Hate! Fear! Hate! Fear! Hate!
Ain't it funny how the rich have forgotten how much richer they got during the Clinton years....

And when our economy recovers, they'll start getting richer all over again.

So what the f*ck do they have to complain about? Assholes.

20. Damn Socialists
1. Socialism: Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy as in the former Soviet Union.

2. Nationalist Socialism: A particularly virulent form of fascism in which any distinction between public and private interests blurs in subservience to the state/corporate kelptocracy as in Nazi Germany and in the U.S. since 2001.

3. Democratic Socialism: A form of socialism that holds to the belief that the largest corporate financial and market entities should be owned outright or regulated and taxed heavily by democratically elected government and put to the service of economic equity and social justice rather than profits for a few at the expense of the many. This form of government is practiced to varying degrees in most modern nation states with the notable exception of the U.S since 2001.

21. God! We would never tolerate this crap in Canada!
But then we're boring and it's fun to watch sometimes. Glad it's south of the border though.

26. The most laughable moment; Hannity accusing Obama of "literally struggling
when he has to think on his feet". Where you been for the past eight years bucko?
