That video that you couldn't find, I'm not sure I understood you. Was that at a checkpoint inside the US and not some checkpoint between Canada or Mexico? Either way, that would be and interesting video to watch if you ever manage to find it.

isn't the US between Canada and Mexico?? Just sayin'

Touche...I should've been a bit clearer. I already have the answer, but to clarify for your sake, I meant the difference between a checkpoint ON the border, or a checkpoint further in on just US soil. There is a difference.

the right wing has some legitimate grievances. i was making fun of the tea bag parties at first, and there is sa lot of hypocrisy in how Fox and co have covered the protests, but there are some serious issues that should be dealt with. and mass protests may be the ONLY way to change the system.



the internal checkpoints within the United States-some of these are 100 miles inside the borders, are illegally detaining and searching cars and people. and in some cases beating people.



there is a video, i can't find it now, that is about 30 minutes long. a guy refuses to be searched, eventually he is released. its great. he rails on the border patrol agents the entire time. "This is the United States of America, the constitution is the highest law. Are you saying the 4th amendment doesn't apply here?"

eventually the higher ups call down and tell the agents to release the guy. because he is right, they have no authority to search him or his car.


this guy wasn't so lucky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUzd7G87 ... popt00us03



If these illegal checkpoints are part of the tea baggin agenda(funny thing though, from all the coverage of these protests, i've heard very little about why they are protesting) then i'm all for them.



But yeah. talk about hypocrisy. Fox labeled all the anti war protesters unpatriotic and traitors. now the protesters are true americans? mmm. Definitely depends on what is being protested. War is ok, apperently, but government spending is a huge threat to the entire human race.

commy you always bash fox news yet you can never give any examples of what you accuse them of. I dont mean going to a web sit like move on,or daily kos,or media matters. I have been watching fox for almost 10 yrs now.and yes I admit they do lean right,but so what they still give the facts and there's no disputing that,besides all the other net works lean left or far left and yet I don't hear you accusing them of being bias.It's funny how you are always for free speech and descent until it's something you disagree with. One of the reasons why they don't give much coverage to the far left or FAR RIGHT is cos they act likeabunch of goddamn fools.When did fox label anti war protesters unpatriotic or traitors ? It seems you like to take things out of context.

Fox does lie. i can't remember what it was exactly but i remember Hillary Clinton said something and fox went crazy saying it was inappropriate and asked the viewers to call in or email them and let them know how we felt...So i called AND emailed saying i thought they were blowing it out of proportion...An hour or so later fox declared that not a single person who called or emailed them disagreed with them and what Hillary said when obviously i did twice.

Also the whole bullshit about Kerry saying he should be elected because more foreign leaders liked him...even AFTER the audio tape of what kerry said was released and it was shown he didn't say that Fox STILL pushed that lie all the way until the election.

There's plenty of other examples.

I liked how in 2000 their stance was Gore was wrong to bring up that Florida state law said there HAD to be a recount and to just get over it and agreed with Bush fighting it in court....then when it was time for the governor recall in California and some people went to court to stop it Fox went crazy about how you can't use federal courts to circumvent state laws and how against everything we stand for it was....

can you describe which network leans far left and HOW they lean far left??

i would like to add, i think it was friday, i saw part of hannity's show and it was about how unverisal health care would be so bad and we'd die and whatnot. i didn't see all of it but there was this part where he apparently had the stories of 2 people prior and asked how would they do under a socialized health care system? the answer? one of the guys saying "i can only assume i'd be dead" well fuck, there ya have it! this guy assumes he'd die so be scared

I was watching the McCain townhall.
Somebody said Obama was unpatriotic. They claimed he didn’t care about the constitution. McCain defended him. People started boo-ing.
WTF?
This went on in the campaign too. McCain would always get them to stop. I respected that he did that.
That kind of ugly crowd had to have helped loose votes for McCain. I know it certainly didn’t help persuade me to vote for him.
