What a headline:

"Impeached President Says Global Warming Deniers Embarrass America"

Best headline since Dewey beat Truman.

To be fair, I don't hold anything from FOX Nation against them as a news outfit. Their standard headlines, while not as overt, are equally ridiculous though.

Gosh

They almost went with "Head Receiving President Says Global Warming Deniers Embarrass America"

William Wallace · « **Reply #5 on:** September 21, 2011, 10:50:48 AM »

It's a terrible headline, but my disdain for Clinton balances out that for Fox News. I would have made the headline even more coarse: "grandstanding, self-righteous attention whore offers unsolicited opinion on climate change."

I suspect he's referring to Anita Broderick. It appears that as long as it slanders the other side, unsubstantiated accusations are automatically statements of fact.

snapple · « **Reply #15 on:** September 21, 2011, 03:34:56 PM »

Clinton WAS impeached. He didn't pass the impeachment process nor was he removed from office.

"rapist"

Dawg was just that: A DAWG

Best president we've had, probably in 50 years, maybe more. The economy literally fucking EXPLODED under his watch. And the way it works in American politics, in case you haven't been paying attention is, if it happens on your watch, you get credit, good, bad or ugly.

Bill Clinton is pretty much my hero. I wish he hadn't cheated on his wife, because that's something I don't condone and would never do, but we, as a nation, pretty much idolize JFK and he was well known for cheating on his wife.

I won't hold President Clinton to a different standard. This country FLOURISHED under his leadership, and BOTH presidents since have, quite frankly, sucked a mile of wombat ass in comparison.

Guess you guys are all blind to the fact that ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC are all so far up Obama's ass that he has to take a shit for them to know what to report. I thought prog fans were supposed to be more intelligent than Green Day, A7X, GAGA fans. Whatever...

If you spend more than eight seconds before posting in P/R, you'll learn that few people here are Obama fans, let alone mainstream media fans. Still, it's not as if the suckery of the alphabet soup you listed justifies that of Fox.

I'm encouraged about the interest in reality, the beginning of wisdom is an acknowlegement of lack of understanding. So, we will start with the basics:

1. There is a God
2. There is a right and wrong
3. You have to learn the right and wrong.

Once you get these down, let me know.

Those headlines are awesome.

Be extension, they should have referred to Dick Cheney as a "Shotgun wielding human hunter"
