FCC takes calls to pull Fox's broadcast licenses 'very seriously'

Summary: Groups, including Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), have urged the FCC to pull Fox's licenses because of evidence that its parent company News Corp. hacked people's phones in the United Kingdom to get stories.

Yeah, sure they do.

Can you imagine them actually doing it?

Not until AFTER they declare martial law.

*

I dare them to do it.

*

Undoubtedly horrific behavior by the News Corp., but probably about as horrific as NBC secretely rigging trucks to explode in an attempt to bankrupt a company.


And definitely not as bad as CBS knowingly presenting forged documents as genuine in an attempt to swing a US Presidential election.


This is not a road the networks really want to go down. 


*



So, other networks have been caught making stuff up out of whole cloth (i.e. “fake but true”), but they’re fine.


Fox actually hires a few slightly-right-of-center commentators, and a few centrists, and they no longer “of good character?”


Go figure.


*



“Wouldn’t an organization like the IEEE handle stuff like licensing a lot better?”


An IEEE janitor has more technical qualifications than any Obamaloon appointee to the FCC...(actually more quals than the Obamaloon itself).


*


Go ahead. We can get rid of Shemp, Whorealdo and Juan that way.


*


Phone hacking isn’t even illegal in the UK. This is a contrived “scandal” started by the Marxist “Guardian” to bring down Murdock’s conservative empire and silence that voice.


*



Do you think the people who were fired up by the Tea Party would just sit around and watch Dear Leader shut down one of the only news outlets that isn’t completely in the bag for Obama?


If they tried to shut down Fox News, it would spell the death of the Democrat party in every governing body in the country.


*



Government, doing a job it wasn't asked to do, and doing it badly.
Remove them from the equation and let things settle out amongst the shareholders. 


*


Not to mention the mainstream media in 2000 declaring that Gore had won Florida while the polling places in the Panhandle were still open (Central time zone)—that has been estimated to have cost Bush 10,000 votes of people who went home rather than waiting in line because they thought it was over. Without that we wouldn’t have had Gore’s battle to win the electoral votes of Florida over the next five weeks.

Arabic mandatory at [New York] city public school

Summary: Basically, PS386 in Hamilton Heights will be requiring all students in 2nd through 5th grade at their small elementary school take 45 minutes of Arabic twice a week. Arabic was picked because the school wishes to attain International Baccalaureate standing. The parents association was reportedly supportive of the idea.


What liberals won’t do to hate America.


*


“Arabic has been identified as a critical-need language,” she said, citing students’ future “career trajectories.’’

Career trajectories? What? Does he mean like the trajectories various bits and pieces of the body that go blasting every which way when the 'student' blows himself up? That kind of trajectory?

No child or grand child of mine is going to learn Arabic. My wish is that language go the way of Latin, and all that extinction implies. 

*

Nothing like sharpening the knife and handing it to your murderer. I hope a prominent Jewish group sues and demands they make Hebrew a mandatory study. It's more justifiable in NY than Arabic. 

*

“MANDATORY” my sweet ass


How much do you want to bet that the lessons will consist of reading, memorizing and chanting passages from the koran?


Then next the seperation of kids by sex and the headcover thing


and then course they will study how muslims invented everything good about the world... like algebra


Will this be the first taxpayer funded public madrassa?


*



The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.


The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is better understood as the “government school collective”.


It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.


Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.


If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.


Nobody loves your children more than you do.


Nobody can teach your children like you can.


Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.


It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.


If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.


DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!


*



It’s a valuable skill for many careers. Military, intelligence services, contractors, etc.


During the height of the cold war, US citizens fluent in Russian were super valuable. Especially when combined with other skills.


To this day, one of the top technical high schools in NYC teaches ONLY Russian as their foreign language.


It is a holdover from the cold war (which never really ended and seems to be heating up now).


*


Actually, it is probably not a bad idea.


"Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious"


"Every battle is won or lost before it is fought." 

- - Sun Tzu - The Art of War 


*



Yinz are all missing the biggest problem here.


It isn’t the language. Instead of quibbling about the usefulness of arabic, you should be looking at the REASON she introduced it:


International Baccalaureate Program!!


This is the true evil in this situation


*


Tru dat....if they start trying to teach my grand daughters that filth, I’m gonna go postal.....I have enough trouble deprogramming them from Dora the Explorer, etc.


*


foreign language leaning before grade 6 is a complete waste of time. 


*

"There should be no doubt that the mandatory Arabic implemented by such a "progressive" disciple of Bill Ayers and UC Berkeley ,will come with the usual Anti-Americanism."

Of course that's true. Arabic will be taught with a heavy ladling of anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Capitalism propaganda.


But it doesn't matter how much propaganda they ladle into these courses, the bottom line is that to the extent that Arabic language ability actually increases within the American non-Arab population, the pool of possible Arabic-speaking security and military personnel will grow, whether the leftists from Berkeley like it or not. 

Couric extends 'open invitation' to Palin

Summary: Couric has said that Palin would be welcome on her new show "Katie", though she added she did not think that Palin would take her up on the offer.

Poor perky Katie, when you are on the wrong end of age 55 and you looks are going what else is there? Bitterness, regret and desperation. 


*

Wow, Couric must PO’d that Sarah is 1) more intelligent, 2) far more experienced, and 3) far, far more attractive than she is.

Katie, Katie, Katie...give it up.

Suicide is painless.

*

How about I’ll talk to you after you release all those hours of interview tape that prove you are the idiot. Katie has some brass to think Sarah would help her in anyway. Sarah should invite her up to Alaska to feed some bears!

*

"How about I’ll talk to you after you release all those hours of interview tape that prove you are the idiot."

Sarah should point that out. Respond by saying that she doesn't have to talk to Katie again - all that has to happen is for Katie to release all of the video she has that she suppressed, where Sarah answered all of the questions fully, that Katie didn't want anyone to see. 

*

Katie, next to Sarah Palin you are no larger than a microbe, a germ, a virus. She is America, you are a disease.

*

Katie, don’t you hate it the Sarah is so much prettier than you?

*

It is truly amazing the fascination the unhinged, moonbat left has with Palin. Reminds me of when David Letterman joked about Bristol Palin being raped and then invited Sarah on the show.
The best revenge would be for Palin to ignore Couric.

*

Sarah should reverse the invite. As in invite Perky to come to Alaska and be interviewed in her Fox studio. Sarah could then be the one asking questions of Katie, and they wouldn’t be softballs.
That would be one of the most watched Fox programs in years.


*


Yeah, I’m sure Katie would love to gin up another controversy at Palin’s expense, it might take the heat off of Obama for awhile...


*


If I was Palin, I'd say "Katie, I was a TV journalist too, don't ya know, sure enough. And I'd like to interview you, eh? I will spend two days with you, after extensive research, of course, so that I can compile a long list of "Got Ya" questions. And then I will condense that down to 45 minutes of your worst, most stupid-sounding answers, and pretend that it was just a quick, 45-minute interview, and that you are obviously a complete idiot.


How does that sound, Katie? Up for it? 

Colin Powell expresses support for gay marriage

Summary: "[F]ormer Secretary of State Colin Powell told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday that he has "no problem with it." [snip] "But, as I've thought about gay marriage, I know a lot of friends who are individually gay but are in partnerships with loved ones," the retired Army general said. "And they are as stable a family as my family is. And they raise children. And so I don't see any reason not to say that they should be able to get married.""


About as American as apple pie . You know , like the Occupy movement . They don't call him colon for nothing 


*

He’s a CINO: Conservative In Name Only.

*

The rudderless, racist affirmative action bureaucrat just going along with (seemingly) inevitable cultural tide.

All in the interest of future easy, vastly overpaid government work.

*

Powell is so stupid—sure—sodomy is just as American as apple pie.


Were you in Afghanistan for too long, Mr Powell? That is an Afghani worldview! And you know about their harem of boys????? Shame on you!!!! You can honestly explain to your little boys that “sodomy is good” and think it is healthy for children to grow up thinking such dysfunctional, sexist, narcissistic behavior is normal??? Such an artificial environment which forces such an unnatural, sick, selfish ideology on a young child and denies them their biological mother of father? That is evil and child abuse.


Looks like you crossed over to the irrational Wiccan “religion”.


*



“Who on earth is surprised by this? Who even cares?”


Totally agree. Colin Powell always struck me as the military’s version of Tim Geithner. In a bubble most all of their adult lives, very little in the way of tangible achievement, constantly bouyed by the high opinion other establishment people have of them. Kind of like Obama.


*



Powell was never more than a token.


An errand boy for George Bush.


Made his mark by lying about the My Lai Massacre.


Moved up as an affirmative action officer in the military.


*


Powell always looked a little lite in the loafers... now, we know for sure.


*


Read this and remember everything else that Powell has done over the past 6 or 7 years. Then remember that in 1996, the GOP nomination for president was his for the taking if he had wanted it. Scary.


*


I sure am happy not to be Black, and therefore be free to have thoughts at odds with Obama.


*


“Color” me surprised! No pun, and, or racism implied. What a total Maroon. 


*



Powell said — “And they [homosexuals] are as stable a family as my family is.”
No —lots of homosexuals like open marriages. Many if not most men are very promiscuous by nature, whether homosexual or not. But heterosexual men have some restraints on their desires. Most homosexuals have no wife or Bible or God to hold them back.


*



I don’t care any longer about his service record. The guy is an absolute POS. It was already evident when he went on for years about how his friend McCain was his absolute ‘ideal’ for GOP president, then winds up endorsing Obama over him with just a week before the election. That was the action of a slimeball, regardless of what a drip McCain was.


Now he supports gay marriage, just proving what a moral degenerate he actually is as well. 


It’s a shame scum like him survived VietNam when so many good men perished.




*


As a law enforcement officer I run into a fair share of homo-couples in the line of duty. The only time that happens is when they have either a very physically violent domestic battery fight or when one of them attempts suicide. I’ve never officially seen a so-called ‘perfect’ homo-couple, or their fabled ‘normality just like straight couples’ because as far as I can tell from my in the field experience, they don’t exist. Homo-couples are just as mentally unstable as they used to be classified as, it’s just easier for the progressive-stalinists and the leftist-libertarians to hide it.


*


The few studies I’ve seen show that ‘monogamy’ is an evil four letter word for a homosexual. The overall majority of them have multiple sodomite partners and conduct ‘open’ relationships. A monogamous homo-couple is the exception, not the rule.
If those facts plus the domestic violence facts were pushed out more to counter all the pro homo propaganda perhaps more eyes would be opened.


*


"And so I don't see any reason not to say that they should be able to get married."


The argument of the ignorant. I don't know why p is true, therefore p is false. For example, I don't know why General Relativity is true, therefore it is false. QED. 


*


As I saw him on Fox last night, so help me I muted it. This man lost all credibility with me when he voted for Obama. He voted color, plain and simple. Why should I believe a word this man says? “Judge the man by the content of his character”. The General no longer speaks for any of us.

Is Obama as bright as he seems? New evidence reveals his college class got lower SAT scores than W

Daily Mail article. Freeper Summary:


Is Obama as bright as he seems? New evidence reveals his college class got lower SAT scores than Dubya
Average SAT score of Obama's 1981 transfer group to Columbia was 1,100
Bush got into Yale with score of 1,206 out of 1,600


Comments:


Hiding his grades? Barack Obama was a Columbia student in the early 1980s. He has refused to release his academic record and now a report sugests that he was among one of the lowest ever achieving group of transfer students to the university in New York 


*


Obama is a blithering idiot. It doesn’t take a PhD to discover that in public he is a rambling fool. I have under my ‘favorites’ a plethora of his blunders and bloopers!


*

Over 1000 was considered poor back then? Jeez, I thought my score of lower than 900 in what, 2002, 2003 was fairly terrible. Now I find out an average of 1,100 was considered poor. I guess my score was downright lower than the depths of the Marianas Trench.

But go figure, I scored 70 on the ASVAB in 2004.

*

Obama got a 420 on math and 510 on verbal. Tops.

*

000bama got straight As in Dr. Alinsky’s classes.

*

I yield to no one in my loathing of the current occupant of the White House. However, this article is total b.s., similar to the kind of statistical nonsense that the left loves to proffer. The fact that the AVERAGE score among the 67 people in Obama’s group was lower than Bush’s score proves absolutely nothing about Obama’s score. He could have had a 1600 (I doubt it) and brought the average up, or he could have had an 800, which brought the average down, while using his skin color and alleged Kenyan birth to get accepted.
If someone wants to do some real statistical analysis—here’s a plan: Assuming that the scores of the other 66 transfer students haven’t yet been put under lock and key, add those individual scores up. Subtract that total from (67*1100) and the remainder would be Obama’s score.


*



How bright does Obama seem? He may or may not be smarter than Biden. That’s about as bright as he seems to me. But as dumb as he is, America is dumber for electing him, even if McCain was the alternative, which was pretty dumb.


*


I took the SAT 3 times and attended a prep course for it. My best score was 1200. I was a cheerleader, on yearbook staff, Latin club president, worked Toys For Tots every Christmas, and in the National Honor Society. I also got turned down from 3/5 colleges I applied to. Screw affirmative action! 


*


of course the boy is an idiot... if he wasn't, they'd be blasting his grades everywhere saying how much smarter he is than Bush, but they can't, cause he's not!!! 


*


In 1973 I scored 1440 on the SAT, 720 math and 720 verbal. I saw through this narcissistic poser from the start.


*



Remember the qualification for being a genius for the leftists is a complete belief in communism, socialism and the state running everyone’s life and being told what to think and believe.
The qualification for being dumber than a rock (except that they had a rating below this for Reagan and GW Bush) is a belief in individual liberty, the Constitution, economic freedom, faith in God, respect for the family, and the traditions that were taught to all Americans prior to the begining of the communist takeover after WWII.

FBI may charge George Zimmerman with hate crime

What do I think? I think the Øbozo regime is a hate crime.

*

NO!

He’s “a white/Hispanic”... I’m sure this is going to be a new box to check on the census.

*

Under the direction of this Just Us Department, the law is not being enforced equally, but is being used only for political advantage, using subjective law, whimsically applied.
Justice is not the issue, here. In fact, the pursuit of Zimmerman has no end other than politics. They do not even care if he is totally exonerated on appeal, only that in the moment, they can make a show of persecuting him.
It is foul and corrupt abuse, and yet another reason to cite Holder for contempt of congress. Were it a Republican senate, he would deserve impeachment and conviction.


*


The FBI is becoming as corrupt and as despicable as the Department of “Justice” for which they manufacture “crimes” whenever so ordered. And I still remember the time when I held the FBI in high regard.


*



You know what’s really scary? The comments to that article over at the Global Grind. The commentators there have already tried, convicted, and hung George Zimmerman for a hate crime when it was clearly self-defense.


Time to donate some more money to Zimmerman’s defense fund.


Cheers


*


What the Obama Administration is doing is putting all white people on notice: anyone shooting a negro, even in self-defense, will be labeled a racist. Their intent is to start a civil war. Period.


This is not political correctness gone mad. This is being purposefully done to divide Americans and to foment hostilities. 


*


This is nothing more than political theater. If and when Zimmerman is acquitted angry blacks who have been led to believe this was a hate crime will riot similar to that which occurred in LA in 1992. And when that happens, the Obama admin and the complicit leftist media will be responsible for every death. 


*


I have always hated these ‘thought crimes’ - they require someone to accuse someone of thinking a particular way. It is the ultimate violation of free speech - that of curtailing free thought. How any judge with a conscious can continue to permit this, I’ll never understand.


*


Zimmerman is headed for prison. The lynch Zimmerman crowd is getting what they wanted.
We did not see the prosecution of voter intimidation with the black kitty cats because a majority of those that voted said , via their votes, that they wanted a American hating muslim without any principles to be their god and messiah. 


*


Wanna see a real hate crime. Go take a look at the white yuppie looking dude get assaulted, robbed and stripped naked by twenty or so black scumbags in Baltimore.
Wasn't good enough to just rob the guy, they had to humiliate and ridicule him. Then post the video on a rap site.
I watched the two videos a couple of times...made me so freakin angry.
This WAS indeed a hate crime. 


*


He’s a Democrat. Re load Him, send him back out. rat on rat crime, Over the weekend, rat on rat shooting bagged 5 in Bflo.

Alarm Grows Among Dems About Obama’s Chances

The article (from Fox) is mostly about Obama's chances in the re-election, but it begins with:

"“You can be stylish and powerful, too. That's Michelle’s advice.”

-- President Obama telling graduates to temper but preserve their interest in clothing during his commencement address at Barnard College, a women-only college of New York’s Columbia University."

...so many of the Freepers are discussing that instead in the comments.

Whoa! Michelle Obama is giving advice on style and fashion? Where’d I leave my TUMS? 


*


“You can be stupid and arrogant, too. That’s Barack’s advice.”


*

I can’t keep up. I thought we were not listening to the candidates’ wives.

Michelle an exception. She had a paid position at a hospital run by OB’s associate.

OK

*

You know? I’m 62 years old and I cannot remember - a single instance - where a President or his FLOTUS ever uttered the phrase “you (meaning he or she) can be POWERFUL”.


Sure, there have been times when the word ‘powerful’ was mentioned, but only in the context of the collective ‘we’ or the United States and/or its military. But this? This is just a true look into this couples’ souls.


This is arrogance of the highest order. It is meglomania and unrivaled hubris combined. They will be the blackest stain on this nation’s fabric for generations to come.


*


Very interesting that Obama is going all fashionista, after the very public and apparantly purposed memes that he is gay, outright.


*



I’m really surprised to see that Romney is leading among “women”, though that’s a false demographic.
It would be interesting to see the married vs single/divorced women’s demographics.


*



Almost as bad as our President’s speech and demeanor, was the nauseating fawning over BHO by the women of Barnard College. I haven’t been exposed to anything so revolting since Bill Clinton and the blue dress.




*



Just the most arrogant, yet kooky thing I have ever heard- not just a President say- but a male! If my husband ever said something like that, I’d be out in the barn looking for his pod!
So odd, embarrassing and scary all at the same time.


Did his Teleprompter quit? What happened to the words of gold that he used to utter and would cause the crowds to swoon?


Soon, we WILL have the Fashion Police-for real. Only the ruling class will be allowed to wear what they please and the rest of us-either dirty black bed sheets or those matching jackets that button at the neck that say “made in China” on the label...


*


Oh boy....


And it isn't even convention season of which the two candidates get a 5 to 10 point bounce respectively if my memory is correct.....


The question is what if Obama's is a dead cat one? Tangent to that, NC doesn't want them and a swap at the last minute looks amateur.


And they can't ask him to go or they have revolt and ruin their narrative, IMHO it is too late to pull an LBJ. With that said the DNC is stuck with Obama and they know they are screwed.....


I say it again, I think this election cycle is going to be such a flippin' blow out the Dem's will not recover for 20 years as a repudiation of all things Obama...


* We hold the House and add Tea Party Reinforcements
* The Senate goes to 60 or more in our favor ( Dick Morris now agrees with me on this )
* Romney wins big just as a protest vote, and...
* The down-ballot wins at the local level via the Tea Party are huge again...


You heard it here 1st, I can smell it. 


*


"This is arrogance of the highest order. It is meglomania and unrivaled hubris combined. They will be the blackest stain on this nation’s fabric for generations to come."


The dems are lining up on deck next to the ropes going to the pier. With water beginning to fill the engine room, they know best.


Am suspecting that black stain will not be renewed this year nor during anyone’s lifetime who is older than 6 today. Its comparible to “pissin on the electric fense” or touching the hot stove, not voluntarily done a second time.


*



"I suspect that the ‘stain on the blue’ dress will draw a few chuckles from the future generations, but the Obama stain will still produce ever-present shudders. It was an extremely cowardly thing to have elected him on the basis of his color."


That the first black president is of the absolute lowest caliber is a disgrace and travesty. They dredged the bottom of the sewer to come up with this putrid piece of human waste.


*


Hey, Baraq, rather than dispense fashion advice, how ‘bout an economic plan? Afghanistan? Europe’s implosion..


*



I’m very much afraid of a do-nothing majority.
The house is on fire, so we need to take bold decisive action, like,Odumbo did with Odumbocare.
The congress should begin immediately by eliminating Energy and Education. The media will scream bloody murder. After a year, the people will realize that nothing happened, and that the media was full of it.
The media will have been neutralized. We can then move on to entitlement reform.


*



We need another Joe The plumber moment, so to speak, where Obozo is cornered by someone on the campaign trail who asks him on mike: “When was the first time you had sex with a man?” His reaction and response would be classic!


*



Klintoons were smarter than the black fungus by multiple factors of 10. Nobama will be as they say a “flash in the pan”.
He better watch out, it sounds like some dem funny business is coming to the dem convention. With nobama somehow making $10MIL while in office, look for the dems in control to give him a hint to take the money and gracefully pull out for the convention or face some rude music all alone, which will then give hitlery the top spot.


*

"What is that on her pants, a stretch mark?"


Who knows. I don’t want to look that close.
That’s one nasty woman.


*



One hint that they are concerned will be obama declaring an "emergency" and calling off or "postponing the election.Should he do this, who will oppose him? The Republican Party? Lindsey Graham, etal, will praise him for making such a wise decision and any Republican member of Congress that criticizes him will be severely chastised and arrested under the two laws Congress gave him that allow him, actually one of his goon agencies, to arrest and detain indefinitely without a trial. Any citizen that objects that is not shot by said goon agencies and those that survive will be arrested.


I know that it ill not happen here because,"We got guns"! Well, you damn sure better get ready to use them, because when obama and the Democrat Party sees that they are going to lose at the polls, things are going to get very nasty, very fast.


That is just the way I see it judging from what has transpired since obama took power. Others see it differently.
