Do tea party, right-wing Christians LOVE Obama?
Then why do they ridicule and make fun of him? Why do they put stupid bumperstickers on their pickups? Why do they not want his health care to succeed and save millions of lives? They should resist bigotry and stop judging people.
True or False Question about Catalysts?
False.
Why is Fox News so biased towards the Republicans and Tea Party?
Since News Corp has been in America they have always catered to a market that was being overlooked. Thats why we have such innovative television series such as Married With Children, The Simpsons, and COPs. These three shows alone paved the way for Two and Half men, Family Guy, and pretty much any reality TV cop show you see today. These shows were designed to hit middle america who could not identify with upper middle class standards of NBC,ABC,CBS. Those people in middle America also tend to share the same views towards religion and politics. Murdoch was brilliant at entertaining and creating "news as entertainment" Hence A Current Affair and now TMZ. As another poster has stated most of the other major networks tend to lean left. So that leaves a huge void for Fox News to fill. And by them being the only one their ratings are extremely high and everything they do is polarized. While the other stations fight for the left leaning viewers. Fox News has no competition for that demographic. Theoretically Fox News loses viewers when Republicans are in office because there base is not fired up. So in order for them to fire there demographics they have to hit the extremes. Fox does this extremely well. They have very talented people who understand human psychology and behavior. All modern media is propaganda to some extent because they are beholden to advertisers who want to influence their audience. You also have to realize that people like Murdoch have very large influences over what the world perceives as fact. He is competing with other Billionaires who have agendas of "fact" that they would like to push as well. All in the name of advertising. Larry Page/ Sergy Brin google; Warren Buffet General Electric/Washington Post, Carlos Slim New York Times. All these men have agendas globally. Murdoch is playing his position and that is why he must back the Republican party.
Why don't Tea Partiers realize that they would have an exponentially greater following if they stayed true...?
Yes they know, but they DON'T care. Think of you belonging to an elitist group that only allowed members like you in that group. Where everyone is of like mind, you must hate Obama. Well that's the tea baggers. "Obama must fail! Maybe we can't kill him, but we can sure try to block anything that he does. Anything! If he cures cancer,turn his cure down! Don't use his cure! Refuse it! Obama must fail! We must continue with war! Don't let Obama stop war, it's un-American! Fellow tea baggers unite! Obama must fail! Set your clocks to 0800 hrs when we meet at the Fox headquarters to get Dunkin Donuts to go with all this tea! Obama must fail!"
Is Bill Maher right saying Americans, even Tea Partiers, love socialism?
Yes, Americans say they hate socialism, but when it comes to Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, corporate welfare, bailouts, and farm subsidies, what we really say to socialism is, "I can't quit you." Americans don't want less spending on health care; by almost 2:1 they want more. Only 7% of Americans are willing to do away with either Social Security or Medicare, and even 62% of Tea Party members say those programs are worth the cost. Yet 91% of them say they want smaller government with fewer services. They're like the guy who's been to prison and says, sure, "I gargle with a guy's balls every once in a while, and there's nothing I love more than *** play with other men, but you know who I can't stand? Fags." Remember this guy, the "keep your government hands off my Medicare" guy? He's not alone. In one survey, 40% of people who get Medicare say they have not used a government program. Really? Who do you think paid for that hip replacement, your Secret Santa? - Bill Maher
Is Las Vegas Tea Party Activist Kara Vandereyk a typical Tea Party Activist?
Amazing, even far left HuffPost doesn't even go so far as to out right lie about this idiots affiliation with the Tea Party. Leave that to the little kids on Y!A. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/2732966 Just for those wondering how dumb this is. Don't waste your time though, it is just some women who had sex with her dog. Let me ask you a question, why are you vilifying her? Why do you treat her like a second class citizen? Shouldn't she be able to be with the one she loves? Just because you don't agree and think it's gross doesn't give you the right to be a bigot.
