    seriously, this filmmaker and his accomplices were just morons.

    An odd thing here I watched Fox News with the Shepperd Smith fellow and I did NOT here a word mentioned about this on his show. Waitng now to see if Bill O'Reilly will mention it...... "Fair and Balanced" I'm sure though if those people had come up with something on tape, it's fair and balanced to say they would've surely mentioned it.

    Chris Matthews on the other on MSNBC had a piece on the subject with interviews.

    Peace

    Criticize,criticize,criticize.You speak like they all tell the truth except Fox :lol: Chris Matthews? :lol::lol::lol: What a joke, I think his last ratings showed that 4 people watch him....you must be one of them.

    What this piece all boils down to is that these two people busted the Obama sponsored affiliate called ACORN and you're all pissed off about it so much that when they do something like this your all worked up. How come nobody fucking cared when they showed what ACORN was really like? How come Chris Matthews didn't give a shit about that but he cares about this? Shows how fucking one-sided suck ass MSNBC really is. By the way, there ratings are like 1/8 of Fox's ratings. I don't watch Fox, figured i'd point that out because to all of you it's going to look like I am sticking up for them, just stating the facts. Don't you see how fucking stupid this is? These two people were on your(our) side when they brought down ACORN, why does that bother you people? And I know it does or else you wouldn't all be gloating about this. But whatever...if your all about corrupt government and you want to protect that then......that's how you roll I guess.

    Why is this always about ratings, I don't give a shit about that. I just wanted to see if they were going to mention it and so far to the end of Bill O'Rielly they didn't. Remember they're supposed to be *Fair and Balanced, RIGHT!

    I'm not sure what truth you're looking for but the fact is Fox News hasn't mentioned it and atleast MSNBC has and don't give a shit it if the Iatollah was the host. Fox News...NO MSNBC.....Yes that's all man!

    Yes, but the real point is that MSNBC will cover this but they wouldn't cover the first scandal.....and you call that fair and balanced. Oh wait, I think they did cover the first scandal......they said they should arrest them(the two making the tape). :lol: Liberals have everything backwards.....arrest the two that uncovered the corruption, give terorists rights, arrest the marines that gave the bad guy a fat lip......IT"S A FUCKING JOKE!!!!

    what the fuck are you even talking about?

    No one here that I've seen is pissed off that these idiots help bust ACORN, and I watch Chris Matthew's show about once a week and I saw several pieces on that story.


    Why make this partisan? these idiots tried to somehow wiretap a senator and got caught and look like idiots... i don't care if they did it to Landrieu or Tom Coburn.

    you've got some issues man... just cuz you didn't see something covered, doesn't mean it didn't happen. And I'm assuming you are talking about the idiot editorial shows... Maddow and Olberman are partisan hacks just like Hannity and whoever else Fox has that will ignore this part of the story.

    Talk about being a spin monkey... somehow you try to turn this thread into an anti-obama, anti-msnbc, partisan thread instead of just leaving it about the idiots that got caught.

    Look I don't really watch either station they're both the same just opposite points of view for the side they want to project. At Least MSNBC doesn't try to come off as if it's trying to be fair and balanced to all, it ain't. Are you saying Chris Matthews and others on that station didn't address that ACORN, as far as I can remember they broadcast, interview and showed the story like most other stations?

    I find it odd though that Fox news clearly failed to mention this story since just several months ago they had these guys as lauded heroes for what they brought out about ACORN. Now he's arrested for doing something illegal and no mention of it, *fair and balanced* I think not. Even you would object if this matter was reversed, even you.

    I guess the bottom line for me is.....if they would have succeeded in the tapping and proved that there was some corruption going on I would have applauded them....i'm not applauding there arrest. It's time the people need to see and hear what is going on in Washington.

    You really do only hear/see what you want to, huh? MSNBC never talked about the first ACORN sting, gimmesometruth27 never complained about anything Obama has done... etc...

    Just because you didn't pay attention or don't remember something, doesn't mean that it never happened.

    wow, evidently you do not know that there is a "search user posts" option where you can see every post ever posted by whichever poster you want to see. because if you did, i am sure you would have searched my posts before typing such a blatant lie about me...

    wow, here is a post that i did early this morning criticizing obama, the thread is still onthe front page of the train: http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=122123

    also you could search my posts and see my very harsh criticisms of obama regarding:

    1. surge in afghanistan
    2. failure to close gitmo
    3. failure to overturn don't ask don't tell
    4. continued spending billions in iraq and afghanistan
    5. allowing more no bid contracts
    6. failure of leadership on health care legislation
    7. continuation of the patriot act
    8. tacit support of isreal

    i could go on but i think you get the idea that i do not blindly support obama...

    I know nothing about this guy and have only cursory knowledge of the whole acorn story, but...

    I like the idea of indie, rogue journalists bugging government officials. Fuck 'em. They wiretap the public, lets wiretap them back...and get the word out on what they're doing....hopefully by shortwave radio, that shit's cool. talk hard.

    (Whole thing sounds like a bad B movie.....phone-guy costumes? really???)

    Wow quite an interesting array of bumperstickers from that link. I can recall back when I had my dislikes of the previous administration and I had quite a few stickers. However, what I had to say I said in a way that made people think and think in a way you couldn't tell where I stood.

    I liked being neutral but with a point to make.

    haha i am a little less subtle g under p...one of my guitar cases is covered in radical bumber stickers...a few of them are:

    "ignorance and arrogance is bad foreign policy"

    "fight the man"

    "overthrow that shit"

    and "fuck the right"


    i was definitely an angry young man at one point in my life...i nearly got my ass kicked a few times when soldiers, jocks, or rednecks would see my carrying my guitar into a gig and they read the case...
