Professional outrage factory and eternal victim, Ted Cruz, went to Fox News looking for a sympathetic ear from Megyn Kelly when he wanted to whine about how “unfair” it is that liberals always moderate Republican debates. Clearly, sticking to factual statements, answering questions directly, and not being allowed to willfully lie to the entire nation is a “liberal” bias. Poor Republicans, they have such a hard time. Don’t they?
Ted Cruz actually is suggesting that no person be allowed to question Republican presidential candidates in a debate, if they can’t prove to him by government documentation, that they vote in Republican primary elections.
Apparently if you cannot do this, it means that as far as Ted Cruz is concerned you are something other than an American citizen. It also means that he, as president, isn’t required to look out for your interests or lower himself to give an honest answer to you. Megyn Kelly pressed Cruz hard on this issue, and showed him in a rather embarrassing way, how asinine his idea is.
Kelly pointed out that people don’t know the voting records of Fox’s Bret Baier or Chris Wallace or herself, and wondered if that would mean they would be excluded. Cruz bluntly said he doubts any of the three of them are liberals, as opposed to the rest of the media. Kelly still kept on the point, asking him, “Would we have to submit our voting records to you?” Cruz seemed a little scared to answer the question suddenly, and dodged by saying it would be a very simple process to weed out the liberals. However, Kelly pointed out that Tim Russert was a liberal but a very respected journalist who could be fair to Republicans.
This is just one more example showing that Ted Cruz, who calls himself a constitution-loving, ultra American, A#1 patriot of Washington D.C., literally has no concept of how representative democracy is supposed to work. His contempt for people who are an inconvenience to his personal ambitions, like the general public who he asks to vote for him, should be offensive to every American.
Watch Megyn Kelly slap the sh!t out of Ted Cruz live on the air below:

This individual is so full of “Taureau Merde”, he’s pathetic !!!!
“Taureau Merde” THANK YOU!!!! I’m going to replace its more anglicized cousin with this….I’ll sound so FRENCH!!!
Technically, it’s Merde de Taureau
Even better!!!! Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks! I can pronounce Spanish words (took it in school for 5 years…a million years ago), but French….I’m hopeless.
Loving Megyn,more and more,Her points were straight on,his proposal is unconstitutional in spirit and unenforceable!
It’s always fun when you people defend Fox.
I’m no Fox fan, but come on, Megyn Kelly was on-point this time.
I don’t see anyone here defending Fox. Kelly maybe, but not Fox. There are times Megan does get it right although not often. This one of those times.
We do pride ourselves on being objective
What schmucks. Perhaps someone could explain just exactly HOW one would produce “voting records”. And, perhaps Rafael needs explained to him the concept of the secret ballot.
Plus, debates by politicians are not just for the edification of the members of one particular party, they are instructional for ALL citizens.
Crazy. Have you forgotten that liberals refuse to debate on Fox? What a bunch of hypocrites.
That’s because Fox is full of bullshite.
Did Fox news even invite or offer to hold a debate for the Democrats?
I’m trying to search the web, but so far I can’t find where Fox extended any such offer.
However, we most certainly can call GOP cowards, now that they purposely cancelled their Telemundo debate, after they HAD been invited, AND accepted, to be there - but now they won’t.
That’s cowardice for you…but it’s upon the Republicans!
LOL. You should have waited for my post before you trashed the Republicans so viciously. I’m looking forward to the justification of your partisan hypocrisy when you read the article about how the wonderful Democrats canceled their Fox debate in 2007:
Pop this into your search engine:
“Democrats cancel Fox News debate” by Dan Whitcomb from Reuters on Fri Mar 9, 2007 11:33pm EST.
So:
“Crazy. Have you forgotten that conservatives refuse to debate on Telemundo? What a bunch of hypocrites.”
-There….fixed it for ya!
Looking forward to your hypocritical partisan justification:
“Democrats cancel Fox News debate” by Dan Whitcomb from Reuters on Fri Mar 9, 2007 11:33pm EST.
FOX from ’07? That’s your “gotcha” argument? Now you’re actually making me laugh. This is the ridiculousness that comes from your party I actually have to laugh at or else I might cry.
Sheep justification. Funny, you liberalheep didn’t attack the Democrats while they were worshiping Obama in 2007. Now in 2015 the Democrats refuse to even go to Fox for debates. Your posts are so nonsensical, it is funny. You seem to believe there is an expiration date on when it isn’t shameful to cancel debates. What is that 2010? 2011? And somehow the Democrats get a pass on currently refusing to debate on Fox while you hypocritically trash Republicans for refusing to debate on liberal media.
Actually the secret ballot doesn’t extend to revealing what primary you vote in in many states because they have to be able to identify your primary vote to insure you don’t vote in a runoff for the other party.
One could almost think there are 2 Megyn Kellys - one who asks pointed questions like these, and one who says idiot things like “Jesus is white”.
She does seem to have a Jeckyll and Hyde thing going on
Where does he get off assuming liberal moderators can’t be objective, but conservatives can?? what a jerk!
I don’t think he is at all interested in objectivity. He and they want to be given the usual ‘pass’ on their B.S. which he assumes, and probably correctly, that a Repiglican’t will give him and them.
Insanely hypocritical. Have you forgotten that Democrats refuse to debate on Fox and refuse to debate with conservative moderators? How can liberals be so mindlessly hypocritical?
Actually, I didn’t know that and must apologize! But I still think this is just childish grandstanding…I don’t think Anderson Cooper delivered any softball questions to the Democrats, and i suppose he’s considered a liberal.
I’m curious: Do you have anything else to say? Or, is this your only comment?
I’m curious: do you drool when you brainwash yourself with Jon Stewart?
jon stewart’s show is off the air for a few months now.
keep up please…..oh nevermind, you want it to be 1855.
Why should I keep up with your self-brainwashing methods? Old man Sumner Redstone is still running the show there at Comedy Central. Where you crying when Jon Stewart left?
we most certainly can call GOP cowards, now that they purposely cancelled their Telemundo debate, after they HAD been invited, AND accepted, to be there - but now they won’t.
That’s cowardice for you…but it’s upon the Republicans!
LOL. I’m looking forward to your hypocritical justification of your partisan double standards.
“Democrats cancel Fox News debate” by Dan Whitcomb from Reuters on Fri Mar 9, 2007 11:33pm EST.
Which conservative moderators would you be referring to?
The ones they proposed: Limbaugh, Hannity and I forgot the third one they proposed. Hey, anyone can be a moderator, right? Maybe not a very good one though.
If we were to adopt his tax plan and eliminate the payroll tax and the IRS, who would make sure anyone paid their taxes at all? That’s what the IRS does…(facepalm)
What did he say? The moderators are supposed to help the viewer determine which candidate “is most Conservative”?
Really? I’m not sure all Republican viewers would agree with that goal.
What an idiot.
That’s what we have this year. Only the candidates that are on the fringe of the party are allowed. I turned unaffiliated and will NOT be voting for one of these idiots.
Do you even know any Republicans?
If they exhibit the same douchebag you do, I feel confident I’m better off not knowing any Republicans.
Sheep noise. LOL. You admit you live in a bubble. How is it possible that liberals are so arrogant yet so ignorant? Why do you actively seek to brainwash yourself with liberal media?
Why are you talking to yourself in a mirror? You are truly pathetic. Grow up foolio.
No. You are pathetic, and your sheep noise makes no sense. I was clearly talking to Elizabeth Horner who doesn’t know any Republicans but thinks she is so brilliant, due to being brainwashed by liberal media, that she can speak for these people she doesn’t know and whose politicians she has been trained to hate. I’m sure you expect me to dry up and go away when you spew your insults from your ideological bubble. Did you cry when Jon Stewart left the air, sheep?
Huh? Of course. I’ve even voted for some.
Yet you could watch the CNBC debates, and like many of the brainwashed here see no bias. You should be embarrassed.
I didn’t have much interest in those debates, but I have seen bias n Debates before. Remember Nader? Remember when he was excluded from debates? He had the7% polling threshold and should have been allowed, but then the Commission on Debates (Rep and Dem controlled)made the threshold 15%.
Yeah! THAT’s bias!
Or how about when Kucinich was running , and the debate questions were ONLY going to Hillary and Obama, and then, a quick question to Kucinich…They asked him about a reference in a book he wrote, about something he saw in the sky out in the desert decades ago. Really? You ignore someone for a half hour and then ask him about a UFO experience he wrote about years ago?
But no, Biased questions only happen to Conservatives. Boo hoo!
I clearly stated the media is biased toward the establishment Democratic candidate. In the case of Ralph Nader the media was terrified he’d get the Republican elected. They supported Ross Perot’s independent run in in 1992 and 1996 because they believed he would take Republican votes. On the other hand, they were against Nader’s run because they were afraid he would take votes away form the Democrat Gore. The New York Time editorialized in favor of Perot’s run in 1992 and 1996 and against Nader’s run in 2000.
That being said, look at some clips of the CNBC debates, and then explain to me why it is okay that Democrats don’t debate on Fox but not okay that Republicans don’t debate on liberal media.
Debates are for the benefit of candidates, not journalists. Their purpose is to show off their abilities to potential voters, especially regarding the hard issues of our times. If they only want fluffy softball questions, there is no need for debates. Cancel the debates, let them take their ball and go home. They need the media, the media does not need them.
I agree with the “fluffy softball questions”, etc., but I thought the debates were for the benefit of the voters. Journalists, hopefully, ask them pertinent questions, so that the voters can make informed decisions for when we vote. Oh, who am I kidding, they just answer each question with babbling nonsense.
If they can not handle questions from a liberal, how exactly do they plan to handle all the issues they will face IF one of them were elected? This just puts their idiocy in plain view. “Give me what I want. I will only play ball IF I can be the ONLY one who gets the ball.” That is not realistic. The scary part is the voters who will vote for one of these insane clowns.
Are liberals nuts? You do know that the Democrats refuse to debate on Fox? What a hypocritical thing to say.
Uh, No? Fox is a propaganda machine, not a news outlet. I wouldn’t let the KKK moderate a debate, either.
But who cares what you think? I don’t understand why you would believe that anyone cares what a brainwashed sheep who can’t think for himself thinks. You basically admit that your mind has detreated to such an extent that you can sit through the CNBC debate and still believe that Fox is the only biased news outlet. You are a sad shadow of a human being.
Oh, there surely is a brainwashed sheep a-wanderin’ here…
Yeah, you making sheep noise about how you believe, without a shred of evidence, that Fox wouldn’t want to host Democratic debates. It would be funny if it weren’t so said what the liberal media has done to your mind.
Jcam, this is you.
Typical liberal “argument.” When faced with facts they hate and their own oblivious hypocrisy, liberalsheep get vile and nasty. But notice how the attempted insult is prepackaged and generic, requiring not a shred of originality. Liberalsheep are incapable of wit and original thought. Like monkeys, all they can do is cut and paste links.
thanks for demonization, dehumanizing, and broad generalizations applying to a vast number of people, which is in itself meaningless. what it shows is a projection of your personal state of mind. it’s mirror time! time to repent! and remember, Jesus has the last vote on whether you’ve loved your enemy.
You are not a thinking human. You are a sheep, and you prove it by ignoring all the filth your side writes, and ignoring my specific points about your hypocrisy. And I couldn’t care less what Jesus said since I’m not Christian although I don’t hate them like you liberalsheep do.
Off the meds again jcam?
Sheep noise. You make my point for me. You were shown facts and your own hypocrisy, and your “counterargument” is nothing more than a generic clichéd insult that you didn’t have the originality or wit to make up. Thanks for proving my point. LOL. Do you ever think for yourself?
What’s with labeling people sheep and other animals? It’s dehumanizing, demonizing, dismissive, and destructive to human contact. Nazis did it towards Jews before they exterminated them. So, if you don’t want to be in that category, stop calling people sheep.
When people don’t think for themselves and let the media tell them what to think, they are animals. And you lose the argument when you start referring to your opponents as Nazis. By the way, instead of lecturing me that you are not a sheep, why don’t you prove it by explaining how it is possible to trash Republicans for suspending debates they had with partisan Democratic moderators like the clowns at CNBC, yet have no problem with Democrats refusing to debate on Fox. Why don’t you address that before you lecture me because I am sick of the partisan mindlessness of sheep.
Every time they get caught in a lie they claim they are not a news organization but they are in the “entertainment” business.
What is with this “lie” business. Politicians lie. That’s their business. Are we still judging politicians by whether George Washington told a lie? The question is about public policy and the good of the nation. Bush/Cheney lied. Now that was a whopper. Unless you’re Haliburton et al, it turned out to be bad for the general welfare. So, to my conservative Americans: grow up.
I said NOTHING about politicians.
Why did you not mention Bill C. He lied. Obama lied about a lot of things. (You can keep your Dr.) or is it only wrong when republicans do it?
Jon Steward used to go on Bill O’Reilly’s program.
Idiot!
Did Fox news even invite or offer to hold a debate for the Democrats?
I’m trying to search the web, but so far I can’t find where Fox extended any such offer.
If you have a link of Fox’s offer, then the Democrats refused, then I *might* agree with you.
But as far as I know, so far at least, is that Fox didnt even offer to host Democrats…
It would be unlikely that right-wing old-white-men Fox viewers would even watch, let alone be informed or change their mind to vote Democratic anyway…
And if Fox did not offer any debate hosting, then it’s Fox’s blame, not the Democrats…
+++
However, we most certainly can call GOP cowards, now that they purposely cancelled their Telemundo debate, after they HAD been invited, AND accepted, to be there - but now they won’t.
That’s cowardice for you…but it’s upon the Republicans!
A liberal might agree with me? I’d like to see this. I think liberals have been trained by liberal media to justify anything and never leave the Democratic party planation. Countless times I have seen liberals reject facts they don’t like and chose liberal media narrative over the facts. Therefore, I’m looking forward to your reaction although I know you are going to somehow justify the fact that Democrats won’t debate on Fox while (even after seeing the biased CNBC moderators) you still somehow trash Republicans for rebelling against the liberal media. One more thing, I find it amazing that you have been trained so well against Fox news that you entertain the notion that Fox wouldn’t want to hold Democratic debates as if Democrats were some sort of Kryptonite for Fox news. That is laughable because every news outlet, no matter how biased, would like to hold debates with either parties. You even argue ridiculously that Fox news fans would not watch Democratic debates and you imply that people who aren’t fans of Fox news wouldn’t watch the debates on Fox. Laughable! Anyway, the reason you had a hard time finding the invitation is because all news outlets have open invitations to both parties, and it’s just not news. Anyway, here is your link, and I’m looking forward to your hypocritical justification as to why it okay for the Democrats to back away from Republican media but not okay for Republicans to back away or hold demands on Democratic media.
I just tried to post the link, but they don’t allow you to post links here, so google this article from Reuters:
“Democrats cancel Fox News debate” from Fri Mar 9, 2007 at 11:33pm.
If you honestly think that about the other side then you are a fool. I’m an independent, and I’ve been watching both sides of this for years. Those leaning right politically have been acting as stupid as you are here, saying very ridiculous things and generally being jerks it would seem for the very sake of being jerks. Sure liberals get on my nerves sometimes, but it’s really nothing compared with those on the right and the incessant nonsense we must endure from them. So go take a hike, clear your head, and then come back and talk like an adult with an objective view of the situation.
Who cares about your personal convoluted philosophy? Why would I care about the personal philosophy of an idiot? I just showed that you leftists-yeah, you are obviously a mindless leftist-have been trashing the Republicans for suspending debates with liberal media. Meanwhile, the Democrats canceled their scheduled debates with Fox and refuse to go on Fox. Therefore, the leftist here, including you, are partisan hypocrites. This is nothing new, of course, but liberals are too stupid to understand that. Anyway, look at your post. It is completely vapid. it shows how when faced with facts they don’t like, and when faced with their own hypocrisies, liberalsheep like you get furious.
He’s been brainwashed already. You can’t reason with him so don’t try. Just let him troll on so others can see what his ilk are like. Oh, and jcam, please please get back on your meds.
Yeah, we all know liberals are SO much smarter than conservatives. They tell us that crap all the time, so it must be so.
Sarcasm is the wit of fools.
Liberalism is where the uninformed, uneducated fools turn when they have no solutions to problems. Their answer is always take from someone else, steal from corporations and then tax whatever is left. Liberals don’t offer real solutions, only outdated socialist ideas of “redistribution “, in other words, theft. If you buy into those ideas, then you are the fool.
You are actually the fool; one who would generalize an entire voting bloc under some lame notion of your obvious misunderstanding of ideas in opposition to your own. I don’t represent the left or right, and though I’m leaning more left these days, that is in large part thanks to people like yourself on the right who continue to push me away. If you cannot conduct yourself sensibly and logically in this discussion, why would you expect I should find ANY opinion of your own to be valid?
If your voting block wasn’t so predictable, then I wouldn’t have to generalize.
It’s not MY voting bloc, since I’m an independent and before that, a Republican. Both sides are equally just as predictable as the other and I think I’ve already said that. At this point you’re just trolling me, and I will not tolerate that any longer. I don’t have to justify anything to you and there is no burden of proof on me for any reason. So go crawl back under the rock you must live under, for you are quite unaware of the ACTUAL political situation in this country. If you’re looking at things through red-state glasses or blue-state glasses, you probably don’t even know what you’re doing or what you’re saying. You aren’t using critical thinking.
I know more about politics and the political situation in this country than you can ever hope to know. You can claim to be an independent or whatever, but your liberal philosophy shines through everything you write, thus exposing you for what you are. So, you can go back to whatever hole you crawled out of and stew in your miserableness. Don’t bother answering, I have better things to do.
Right, that’s why you answered me though, just to tell me that. Look man, I didn’t start judging you, but you did me, so you asked for whatever comes next. You come online and act superior and as though you know all about a person from a few posts of theirs, which proves to me and probably to many others that you are in fact a fool. So let this discussion be judged by others and maybe you’ll realize that you’re being a troll, and stop this before you dig yourself in deeper and I mistake your hole for a latrine.
LOL
You should have read the article first jcam. I replied earlier, you might want to read that at least.
I did read the article. I told you that I looked forward to your justification of your partisan hypocrisy. You dismiss things like CNBC’s nasty debate moderators and the fact that George Stephanopoulos was made the chief anchor at ABC News. Both indicate more bias than Roger Ailes making a joke about Obama’s name. However, you have been trained to ignore all that. Telemundo regularly trashes Trump, calling him a racist. That is worse than any joke Ails made about Obama’s name.
Fox is not a valid media outlet. Quite frankly I think all media outlets have no business in the debates. Universities should take over, and students should be the moderators.
We are talking about the partisan hypocrisy of liberalsheep. Fox is no more biased than ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and NPR. I know the liberal media spend a lot of time convincing their sheep that they are they are objective news as they make the head of the Clinton War Room, George Stephanopoulos, the chief anchor on ABC News in time for the presidential campaign of one of his bosses. The Republicans even held debates with him as the moderator in 2012. It is the Democrats who have been refusing for years to allow members of conservative media to moderate their debates while the Republicans have allowed anyone to moderate debates. The Republican candidates have had enough.
I went to the website you gave for Reuters. The reason the Democrats pulled out of the debate was Roger Ailes Chaiman and CEO of Fox News and Television made offensive jokes about Obama and the similarity of his name to osama bin laden, plus others. So jcam when the CHAIRMAN and CEO of a “news” corporation publicly disrespects a candidate in such a manner, it sets a tone for his organization to follow. Not unreasonable for anyone to withdraw in that environment.
You are a partisan. The reason the Republicans are suspending debates with certain news outlets is because these news outlets show bias against Republicans. Unfortunately, you are so brainwashed and arrogant that you can’t detect bias with which you have been trained to agree. Normal people who saw the CNBC debates saw that bias. And normal people who saw the two debates on CNN saw that bias, too. You are so arrogant, that you think you get to decide who has good reasons and bad reasons to pull out of debates, and you are not intelligent enough to realize it will always coincide with your partisan politics. You are just a mouthpiece for the lieral media with which you brainwash yourself. The Democratic party hit the jackpot with sheep-slaves like you.
Thanks, you confirmed my suspicion. I WON, I WON ,I WON!!!!!!!!!
That is a delusional post.
No, you challenged us to go to reuters and read how the democrats were afraid of a Fox moderated debate and pulled out. I went to where you suggested and read the story and all it did was show the unabashed partisanship is endemic. You didn’t even address it. Because you cant. FOX NEWS is a hollow example of a news organization and conservatives who (like you) worship at the feet of talk radio and FOX NEWS are doing more damage to the political process than good. And once again I say, I WON, I WON, I WON!!!!!
Wow. You are delusional. We see the unabashed partisanship of the liberal media every day. We saw it at CNBC debates. I addressed this in my last post, but because you are delusional, you claim I didn’t. All we saw at Fox was Roger Ailes making fun of a name that sounds like Osama Bin Laden. Fox is mostly pro establishment Republican party though Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith are liberal Democrats. Your partisan god Jon Stewart even praised Chris Wallace and his show. On the other hand, the media with which you brainwash yourself and with which the Republican party suspended their debates is establishment Democratic party. You are so delusional that you think you can win an argument by ignoring the other side, and writing in all caps that you won.
I remember President Obama going on Fox.
For two 10 minute interviews with Bill O’Reilly. We are talking about the debates. Are you retarded?
FOX is not a news organization. They are an entertainment channel. And an obvious bias towards conservatives. The same reason there are no debates on MSNBC.
You are not a thinking human being. You are a brainwashed sheep, a tool of the Democratic party. You can watch CNN and see no bias. You can watch the debate on CNBC and see no bias. You can watch George Stephanopoulos be made the chief anchor at ABC in time for his former boss’s presidential campaign and see no bias or conflict of interest. You think what you are told to think. It is pathetic.
By the way, you don’t even know the facts. Republicans did hold a debate on MSNBC last presidential election. You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?
Here is the thing, Democrats have every right to decide WHERE they will have their debates…JUST LIKE THE GOTP DID…AND THEY CHOOSE TO GO ON CNBC.
Now, they made that choice and then whined and carried on….They whined about every debate so far. They whined about the questions. They whined about the length of the Debates. They have whined about those with 2.5% poll ratings being excluded.
My question to you is very simple. Do you not want to have EVERY Candidate asked the hard questions? I certainly want BOTH sides to answer hard questions. Because the person who becomes President will be dealing with hard questions and hard choices for their entire Presidency. SO…IF they can not handle the heat of a few questions NOW, they need to get out of the race. Nothing hypocritical about that at all. What is hypocritical is your inability to see how it is a real issue. What is hypocritical is to say …BUT THE LIBS… deflecting and pointing out what you think is wrong with one, while refusing to acknowledge the problems of YOUR choice is indeed hypocritical…and probably pretty shortsighted as well.
Here is the thing, you jumped into an argument, and you don’t even know what we were arguing. I never argued that Democrats didn’t have a right to chose their debates. I argued that you are a bunch of brainwashed mindless sheep for trashing Republican’s for choosing that they no longer want to debate on Democratic media when Democrats refuse to debate on Republican media.
Clearly your definition of “whining” is anyone who disagrees with you. You are the one who is whining. The Republicans hit back at the partisan moderators, and scored big points with their base.
By “hard” questions do you mean are you running a comic book campaign. The problem is Democrats are not asked the “hard” questions. You can write the word “BOTH” in all caps all you want but the fact is the Democrats are not asked the nasty questions and the Republicans are. The fact that you can’t see this shows that you have the intelligence of a thrall to the Democratic party. Give me your narrative about hard questions when Democrats are asked the same types of hard questions.
And stop whining to me.
Bernie said he’d debate any candidate. No one at Fox invited him
We are talking about Democratic and Republican debates. I don’t see any other network having him on to do his own debate. Why aren’t you bringing that up? Why aren’t you questioning liberal outlets? Is it possible for leftists not to show hypocrisy?
I’m talking about a Dem who Would debate the issues with anyone, anywhere. That was his challenge Many GOP’ers called him a socialist, a loser, which he’s not, but won’t face him.
He went to Liberty Univ which is hardly a liberal bastion.
The DNC is run by s true witch. She won’t make it easy for anyone other than Hillary. She didn’t want more than 4 debates
Btw what we’ve been watching is not debates but bs sound bites.
The problem is the DNC is in control of the Democratic debates, and the DNC is run by women who are pseudofeminists who support Hillary and won’t allow other debates. I find interesting that Bernie Sanders supporters are finally able to see how biased the media is and how much control they have.
DWS is s true Hillary lacky.
She also responsible for FL not getting medical MJ.
She’s just a bad person and so us Hilary.
With the Internet, the DNC and RNC are exposed for the influence peddlers they are.
Dems and Reps, different pages from the same the same bad book.
If the left one doesn’t get you, the right one will!
A big difference is that the establishment Dems get treated really well by the liberal media, and the Republicans and Sanders get treated awfully. For example, they portrayed Obama as a phenomena because he was getting huge crowds in 2007. However, Sanders is getting bigger crowds than Obama got, and the liberal media is ignoring that. Bernie Sanders supporters pride themselves on being for truth and anti-politics. Why aren’t you outraged that the Politico clearly lied about Carson admitting to a “fabrication”? They had to go back and scrub all references of that from their bogus story.
I believe it’s an Oligsrchial media, not a liberal one. They support whoever will do their owners bidding
As for Carson, I’ve dismissed him for saying some of the stupid nonsense he’s actually said. He just come out saying the pyramids were grain storage units. No one baited him, he just pulled it out of his butt. Smh
No. Years ago he said it was his personal theory. He never claimed he knew the Pyramids were grain storage units. But even if he did, which he didn’t, how would that give the Politico the right to lie about him admitting to a fabrication? I’m not making the connection here Are you claiming those who disagree with your politics shouldn’t be treated with human dignity?
As for Sumner Redstone, Leslie Moonves, Jeff Zucker, Jeff Immelt, and Bob Iger, they are all partisan Democrats.
He said it. Where’d he develop that theory. He’s made a ton of unforced errors.
nationaljournal.Com/twentysixteen/2015/05/04/9-Ben-Carsons-Most-Controversial-Quotes
My politics are IND. I listen and choose After listening to Carson , I’ve dismissed him as a possibility.
Once again. He said it was his theory. He didn’t claim it was a fact or that he had knowledge of the fact. And Bernie Sanders couldn’t separate the brains of two conjoined twins on his best day.
But I’m trying to understand your position. Are you claiming it is only wrong for the media to lie about politicians you support?
When your running for president, everything is fair game. It’s his theory, which makes no sense. Why did he say it?
Please stop the specious comparisons. Carson seems clueless to the working of govt. The cojoined twins reference was a non sequtar.
He’s ideas are troubling.
Do you agree with his statement that Muslims must. Renounce their religion to run for president?
I don’t.
So it is “fair game” to lie about Bernie Sanders??? It is fair for a news outlet to claim he admitted to a “fabrication” when he did not?
Why does Carson’s theory about the pyramids make no sense. Please teach me about the pyramids.
I was pointing out that Ben Carson is an intelligent man.
Again you are incorrect about what he said. First, he never said what you claimed he said. What he said at first is he wouldn’t vote for a Muslim for president. How in the world did that become “a Muslim should renounce his religion to run for President”??? There is a world of difference between saying you won’t vote for someone and saying that person should not be allowed to run. It is funny how the left twists things to demonize someone. I’m sure you have no problem with the fact that your media gave you the wrong idea about what he said. It is like leftists like the narrative better than facts. In addition, Carson later clarified what he said. He clarified his position that he would not vote for a Muslim who believed in Sharia law. I agree with him 100% on that. You would vote for someone who wants Sharia law???
They do it every day, all day long. They call him a socialist. That’s untrue and they know it.
As for his grain elevator theory; It fails because there is insufficient storage area in the pyramids. They’re basically solid stone and they were called burial sites by the ancients. It’s a totally silly premise. That’s why people call that remark into question.
First of all, who is calling Obama a socialist? Which commentator who pretends to be an objective “journalist” calls Obama a Socialist? Do you have any names, or is it a general feeling you have?
Second, Obama is a Fabian Socialist.
Third, if calling someone a socialist is such a terrible insult, it is interesting that Bernie Sanders has so much support among Obama supporters since Bernie Sanders calls himself a socialists. Admit it, many Democrats nowadays are socialists.
Really? No space inside? Site your source. Is it the Politico?
Stay on topic. You asked anout Bernie. I didn’t mention Obama.
Get it right, Bernie is a Democratic Socialist. That is quite different from a Socialist.
Read and learn; entifies himself as a Democratic Socialist. Democratic Socialism in the U.S. arose in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries in opposition to growing corporatey power and increasing militarism. One of the movement’s early founders and champions was Eugene V. Debs – a historical figure for whom Sanders has great admiration. Sander’s Democratic Socialist views are not incompatible with free enterprise, nor even capitalism. Sanders simply believes, as do a growing number of Americans, that capitalism should play by the rules and be subject to the same laws and regulations as everyone else. Sanders, like those who support him, understands that private corporations that grow “too big to fail” threaten democracy while exercising the kind of tyranny that is endangering the very existence of life on Earth. Sanders also understands that, while free enterprise does many things well, there are institutions and resources that belong to all of us together and none of us alone – and therefore, should never be subject to a system focused on profits. These are the Commons: water, infrastructure such as roads, bridges and utilities, health care, education, public transportation, the right to basic housing, energy resources and communications. The last thirty years have demonstrated how badly private corporations have administered the Commons, using them almost exclusively for their own benefit to the detriment of society and the environment. When it comes to products that make life more convenient, more interesting and even enjoyable, free enterprise does a fine job. It produces private automobiles (cars made in old Soviet factories were usually bad copies of American and European vehicles – and their mechanical reliability left much to be desired). Free enterprise creates computing devices that are constantly shrinking in price and size while offering ever-greater capabilities. It provides entertainment (the quality of which may be debatable – but is still better than much of what would come out of government-controlled studios and theaters). Free enterprise drives all sorts of amazing innovations that have the potential to make the world a more comfortable and enjoyable place. But unlike shelter, clean water, safe food and health care, our lives and well-being do not depend on these things. Even education is necessary for a person to realize his/her own full potential and become a contributing member of society. It should never be subject to the profit motive, and students should never be forced into a lifetime of debt slavery simply to receive that education. These are the issues for which Bernie Sanders stands. These are the issues that are resonating with the American People. This is Democratic Socialism.”
Perhaps they want to have their cake and eat it too but the progressive candidates pretty much know they are in friendly confines in debates or talk shows unless George Will happens to be there
Sounds like Obama.
Just look to Kansas and you will see the GOP wet dream for the country.
Kansas wants to bloat the military and invade Syria?
That’s foreign policy, not domestic.
These clowns can’t handle tough questions from liberals and they are saying, “Wait until I get to talk to Putin and set him straight.” I guess these guys have not watched campaigns in the past where reporters ask “tough” questions to find out what the candidates stand for and how they will change things. The reality being, “tough questions will disqualify ALL of them.”
definitely not taking into account how many families that currently pay taxes make way less than $36000 a year. So if under his tax reform no one who makes under $36000 a year pays taxes the eliminates over half the tax revenue for this country. if he wants to inact this tax plan he is going to have to up minimum wage to a rate that will put people at 36,000 a year, BUT guess what he says a minimum wage increase will destroy the economy. oh wait isnt he one of those idiots
that is trying to eliminate minimum wage?
Most tax revenue comes from the top ten percent of incomes. The figure he throws out would only eliminate close to ten percent of total revenue overall
This guy talks about the constitution but then wants to violate it by telling people that they need to tell the public what party they are to be able to work. That is unconstitutional.
I don’t know if Ted Cruz knows this, but you have to deal with people from your opposing party when you’re president too.
“But….but….but…….” Ted, “The Tool,” Cruz.
So even Megyn Kelly and Faux News is getting tired of the clown car that the Republican party had become? That’s the pot calling the kettle stupid.
Talk about stupid. It seems the behavior of the CNBC moderators didn’t even register in your brains.
The GOP complained that the Fox moderators were bad too, too hard of questions….and that’s their own biased network.
When some GOP candidates were flummoxed even by Fox’s Megyn, and that they now need rooms at 67 deg F or cooler so that they can’t be seens sweating on camera….
the problem is with the RepubliKan Klown Kar Kandidates!!!
Un, no, Trump complained. And he had good reason. Fox is for the establishment Republicans and they were directing their gotcha questions at Trump. Megyn Kelly acted deplorably. You do realize that both Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith are liberal Democrats? Your partisan god Jon Stewart even praised Chris Wallace when Stewart wasn’t busy pulling tiny edited quotes from Fox out of context.
Megyn Kelly, apparently the only decent journalist on Fox.
What an airhead. She can’t even acknowledge that Democrats refuse to debate on Fox, and that at these debates, the mainstream media treats Democrats with more respect than Republicans. I can’t believe people who watch Fox still watch her show. She already made a fool of herself with her biased gotcha questions against Trump. And then she whined because he made a joke about her period.
The GOP have no respect for mainstream media. Respect is a two-way street, and GOP don’t do it!
A lot of media is conservative — like the Wall Street Journal! But the GOP have even called them “liberal media”….yet while the WSJ is the paper for the rich, the banksters, the stock marketers….ie all the types that the GOP pander too in their pursuit of high profits, low/no minimum wage, low/no corporate taxes, loans and bailouts, and all those other rich-peolpe things that the GOPers and Wall streeters share in common.
WSJ in not liberal - and GOP looks like fools when they call it such.
I believe that Fox refused to host a Democrat debate — they were in negotiations to get 2 GOP debates.
I can find no proof yet, even on Fox’s website, that Fox ever offered to host nor invited the Democratic debate.
If you have such proof, please provide it.
(but oh, those pesky “facts”!!!)
No one respects the liberal media but their brainwashed sheep.
The fact that you think Fox would refuse the ratings of a Democratic debate, shows how the liberal media has destroyed your mind. What news outlet posts their invitation to debates? I did provide the proof, and I’m looking forward to your hypocritical partisan justification.
“Democrats cancel Fox News debate” by Dan Whitcomb from Reuters on Fri Mar 9, 2007 11:33pm EST.
Wow. Reading this comments it amazes me how liberals have been trained like mindless sheep by the liberal media. Have you all gone insane? Have you conveniently forgotten that Democrats won’t debate on Fox, hardly even grant interviews with Fox, and refuse to allow conservative moderators in their debates. Liberalism = Hypocrisy.
I’ve read all the comments, and I don’t see any of yours that are calling Liberals “insane” or “crazy” and you have yet to bring up the fact that Democrats won’t debate on Fox.
Please step up your game.
Yes you do. I explained the oblivious hypocrisy which caused me to call their posts insane and crazy, and you cannot refute it. All you can do is say the hypocrisy I pointed out is somehow not crazy, but the fact that they are so oblivious to their own hypocrisy is crazy. You step up your game and explain why you believe it is not hypocrisy.
LOL! You posted almost the exact same thing like 5x in this thread. My post was pointing it out to you. And it went right over your head.
LOL It was sarcasm, you stupid moron!
It isn’t eve coherent, mindless, brainwashed sheep.
Actually, Jenny, your post is so convoluted, I’m not even sure what you meant to write. You did see my post, and I did bring up the the fact that Democrats won’t debate on Fox.
Have you forgotten that The GOP have canceled their Telemundo debate, even after they were invited and had accepted?
I don’t believe that Fox even invited the Dems for a debate…at least not in any websites I can find….
Even Fox news website does not say, nor complain, about not doing a Dem debate.
Any proof you can provide of a Fox invite to Dems for hosting a debate would be welcomed — you are on point to offer us proof - or else stop your yammering!!!!!
Telemundo is a partisan station that regularly trashes Republicans and supports Democrats. You can’t even be intelligent and honest enough to admit that. Now that you know that the Democrats had cancelled their Fox news debate in 2008 and won’t appear on Fox news now, I’m looking forward to your hypocritical, partisan justification.
Megyn Kelly’s reason to bring this up seems entirely self-serving. She is twisting his answers to things I don’t actually hear him saying. Why does she need to defend the debate moderators? Because she herself was apparently intimidated by Trump, who is a total moron.
Ted is just dumb!!!!
The GOP is just a Joke!
There was 10 Candidates on that stage and We learned nothing new from any of them!
A Steaming Mess, and Fox News is the Official Mouthpiece of the RNC and if they are calling you out. People are tuning out Senator Cruz!
OMG he is the Best, I lost all respect for you infowar BS er.
Republican Party is UnAmerican, they are pro wall street and Big money party, it is their club, fight between Demcorats and Republicans is a fight between American people VS Domestic and Foreign corporations, itis that simple
He’s dumb as a post when he has to speak extemporaneously. Even with a right wing interviewer, he can’t keep up. Hahahaha
I thought voting was private, secret and none of your business. This is simply unAmerican and unacceptable. Questions should be submitted 3 days in advance. This is not a “gotcha” kind of thing. We Americans deserve answers to policy questions. And the questions should be about substance, relevant to the office, dealing with both personal and public.matters. Flat taxes, especially low taxes on large corporations tend to keep wages low as managers want to increase profits by reducing labor costs. The increase in profits boosts share price by a large multiple. By keeping taxes high on corporations, more profits go back to workers. Which is better for the stability and growth of the economy. Reaganomics was a big mistake.
If even Megyn Kelly thinks there’s something wrong, the world may be ending.
A lot is put into a sarcastic statement meant to make a point. We need moderators who will ask the issue questions instead of what color are Carly’s panties and what face Botox does Ted Cruz use, or even why Donald’s hair looks like a thin wig? I think we all are tired of the the entertainment industries version of news crews. Let us get some in the spirit of Walter Cronkite. Could you imagine a Paul Harvey as Moderator?
