a. A Muslim imam is trying to get a mosque built at ground Zero.
It's basically an Islamic YMCA, not a true mosque.

b. Gay marrige was voted down by the people in California and is being reinstated by the Court system against their will.
True, the courts do that sometimes -- like with the racial integration of schools.

Wrong. They are a News Organization - Not Opinion Editorial like michael moore. They would be sued if they Did.
Fox is actually very editorial in much of its coverage.  Granted, so are a lot of other media organizations, but sue cases are usually only present when a strong case can be made for things like defamation.

You guys are silly with your whole 'Obama is a Muslim because that's how they do it'

So under Sharia law Obama is a Muslim and there's nothing he can do about it, fair enough. What about under American law? lol, I wasn't aware that Sharia took precedence in the US over domestic American law. I guess you rednecks see more in common with Sharia than domestic

It doesn't really mean anything, maybe once the Muslims take over the US as you all fear so much they'll install Sharia and then you can finally be right about Obama being a Muslim.

So how many of you would vote based on a persons religion?

Would you vote for a Jew?

Would you vote for an atheist?

Would you vote for a Muslim?

What about a Hindu?

What about it shouldn't fucking matter what a persons religion is when deciding if they are fit to be President? As long as they aren't trying to elevate one religion above the rest, they're doing their fucking job.

but of course CNN never lies
funny thing is i rarely watch the news but since so many people cry about fox i leave the cable box tuned to fox news when i turn the tv off so it gets the ratings counted just to piss the cry babies off.
Cause your one tv set in a few hundred million is really going to stick it to those who collect the ratings...

Even if your tv registered as a million ratings what's the point? The general concencus by anyone with a tad of intellect is fox its the worst smelling, watery dump in a big pile of shit. Fox is laughable, moreso than the other turds that make up the us media.

It's not how ratings are collected anyway. You need a Nielsen box. There's no way to count anyone without the box towards the ratings a channel/show gets.

What are the benefits to having this box?

Other than being able to artificially inflate ratings for sub par programming by a factor of 1?

Free cable. It's a pain in the ass though. Every time someone enters or leaves the room it asks how many people are currently watching tv. Does the same thing when a new show starts as well. So, if you have a dog or a kid that has ADD and is constantly on the move I'm sure it's a nightmare
