Hey GENERAL ELECTRIC!!! As this is written, your candidate through NBC, MSNBC and CNBC is re-writing the tax code to penalize companies using off-shore companies for tax advantages.
YOUR candidate is about to cost you $MILLIONS in profits. How do you feel about your biased support now??????????

We are living in turbulent and dangerous times so why are career politicos and the mainstream media attacking we Americans who are willing to overcome and elevating those who will not?
If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today his "I have a dream" speech would be categorized as right wing hate speech and he would be a right wing terrorist--enemy of the state.

Because they can't stand the fact that the American people have morals and convictions that don't fit into the obamanation that they put up to sway others to like mindedness. This bias and extremely dangerous because the mainstream media is trying to sway the minds of the American people by constantly ramming down our throats how great the Obamanation is. This is an attempt at mindcontrol!! American people; don't fall for this!!!This man will do whatever it takes to stay in power!!! Don't trust Him!!

David Shuster is a liberal, and most liberal do not understand what marriage really entails. Marriage has a physical and a spiritual aspect to it. It is a physical and a spiritual joining of a man and a woman where as a civil union is strictly a physical union which can be between men and women of the same sex and is strictly a legal matter

Marriage was a strictly legal matter for a long time, when parents were arranging a dowry for their daughters, and women were traded like cattle. Marriage is a union, civil when granted by the state, religious when granted by the church, but as all marriages in the US are granted by the state, even when they are conducted in a church, trying to exclude homosexuals is flawed.

The liberal media lives in a effete snob bubble. They make big money and think that that entitles them to set the political agenda for the rest of the country.
Notice how they go out of their way to excuse, rationalize and justify the extortionist anti-Constitutional tactics of the Liberal left and villify those who believe in the Constitutional process, not the touchy feely crap they preach.

Average Americans are usually quiet and tolerant people who are very busy working and try to have functional families and know some history and wan t to improve America, not CHANGE it into the kind of corrupt welfare state that is described in Atlas Shrugged. They are not biblical scholars but don't HATE the Bible as do the likes of Olbermann and Maddow. and they try to follow the good laws in it. They understand that humanity needs Laws. Maddow, etc. are anarchists, and want to end all privacy and law.

I personally have a problem with Carrie Prejean because of two reasons, first she keeps winning that she lost Miss USA because of her answer, but according to one of the judges she was not ahead, and was probably was going to lose anyways. It was also a stupid answer, what the h*ll is “opposite marriage,” and she said that people have a right to chose, but this is incorrect, gays only have a right to choose in 5 out of 50 states. Second, but as Miss California, her job is to represent all Californians, and she should not endorse any divisive wedge social or political position, because that implies the Miss California Pageant Organization supports that issue. I really do not care what here stance is on anything, and after she has served her term she has every right to do what she wants, but stop clambering for the spotlight, and then sulking when you are attacked as an opportunist.

The problem is a gay man who wanted to advance his cause asked a question that should never have been asked on that stage and like any good liberal became enrages and resorted to screaming and name calling when he didn't get the answer he wanted. It appears that being honest is only valued when your opinion agree's with the liberal agenda. Oh Ms. Prejean does represent Californians prop 8 is proof of that.
By the way AOD if Ms. Prejean would have endorsed gay marriage would you be making that comment. I don't think so.

If you want to know why NBC and MSNBC attack everyone that is critical of Obama, which is most average Americans, just follow the money. NBC is owned by GE and GE stands to make millions if not billions off Obama's energy plans such as cap and trade. They are also heavily involved in wind and solar. No need to wonder why they so rooted for him in the campaign and so protect him now. By the way , get ready for new terminology on global warming, they have figured out the terminology is turning people off. Check the story on the Drudge report

What a jerk. He must be feeling grumpy because his little program was cancelled. Why is it, all of a sudden, people cannot speak out about their religious beliefs? Marriage has between a man and a women for centuries, within all mainline religions. I'd love to see Shuster write something negative about an imam who says that marriage is between a man and a woman. People like Shuster just enjoy slamming Christians, I guess.

NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS as well as NY TIMES and other news outlets that lean far to the left are in conspiracy together to drive people to believe what they report as truth which is brain washing Americans creating them to live in a bubble of leftist lies. That is why so many people have no clue of what is truly occuring with our government, and how much it is going to harm their future as a free thinking capitalist society. America will be a socialist/communist country with dictatorship rule while most people are being led like lambs to slaughter with the belief that the change is good for them.
The only way to stop media bias and false reporting is to BOYCOTT every part of each of the main culprits (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NY TIMES, etc), such as in BOYCOTTING ABC, we need to BOYCOTT DISNEY, ESPN, LIFETIME, The FAMILY, SOAP Net, A&E, The History, Jetix & ABC Channels, DISNEY cruiselines, Touchstone, Miramax, Hollywood, PIXAR, DISNEY pictures, Disneyland, Radio, publishing & resorts etc.

She called Fox viewers Haters, Racists and Red Necks. Wow, do you hear that kind of speech from fox. What does fox say about them? Hmmm... misinformed, Pin Heads, hateful, liberal and liberal loons.... anything mean about those words? No not really.

The Bilderberg Group is a group of influential people, mostly politicians and business people, whose existence and activities are private, and due to its secretive nature is the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. The group meets annually at five-star resorts throughout the world, normally in Europe, although sometimes in America or Canada. It has an office in Leiden, South Holland.
Although the group has no official name, the "Bilderberg Group" title comes from what is generally recognized to be the location of its first official meeting in 1954: the Bilderberg Hotel in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
The group has been depicted as an international cabal of the influental and the affluent: politicians, financiers, and media and business moguls; the elite of the elite. Some believe that they have dictated national policies, rigged (or outright stolen) national elections, caused wars, recessions, and ordered murders and ousters of world leaders such as American president John F.

Wow so many people here are so skittish. Sure you have good reason... but remember the pendulum also swings the other way. The general populace is not so foolish as to expect everything in the world because the tax paying public also know's what the cost is or will be. Obama can not take enough money from the wealthy and business soon enough or fast enough to pay for the Dem's wish list of programs/legislation. It will swing back and then the long path of reversing much of (not all) those social experimenting bills will be removed. Please don't name call as it only brings us down to their level and that is what they want. Don't play into their hands and plans. By looking extremist it plays against us not for us. Remember we don't have the press on our side, they do.

MSNBC is only a very tiny part of the LEFT WING / FACIST party machine. Our colleges are turning out millions of BRAIN WASHED young men and women who have not been taught American History or about the Founding Fathers. They know nothing about the Constitution because of their teachers. This SOCIALIST / FACIST garbage is what they have been taught since Preschool. We need to build a very large, money laden group of people similar to the RNC and get Constitution believing AMERICANS elected to ALL offices, local through the President, and take OUR GOVERNMENT back. This is NOT Obamas government, it is OURS. We are looking at a second Benito Mussolini starting to destroy your freedom.
And remember, Chrysler is now a FOREIGN (FIAT) and GOVERNMENT OWNED company. It was bought with OUR TAX DOLLARS. Realize that when the UAW gets a pay raise, it is YOUR money they are getting. Do not buy any of their cars. Ford has kept away from TARP money, so BUY FORD. An AMERICAN COMPANY

does anyone honestly not know the answer to that question?????....Gimme a break. NBC, just like CNN, ABC, CBS and allt he other alphabet networks are pretty much all socialist and they have a socialist agenda. Kruschev wasn't joking when he bang his shoe on the table at a state dinner a few decades ago and told everybody there that they would destroy us utterly and never fire a shot in doing so. The saddest part is,,, the American people have allowed themselves to be lulled to sleep at the wheel and it's happening today. Those who forget their own history are doomed to repeat it. We came from subserviant bondage to a king, and now we're slipping back into subserviant bandage to a socialist state. A very special thanks to all the Rip Van Winkles out there who refused to wake up and take action when it was needed most. Now, our freedom that was paid for with the blood of patriots is being sold for the almighty dollar and the false promise of a eutopia that will never exist. Shameful!!!

NBC attacks Average Americans, because it knows that the Average American probably doesn't know that what makes any news agency reliable is:
1) it's ability to define what constitutes a reportable event or occurrence;
2) it's willingness to ask whether all the reportable events connected with
an issue have been reported;
3) it's willingness to ask whether all the reported events actually took place or
occured . . . . . . . were any embellished or marginalized to create an
unjustifiable impression with the reader/listener; and finally
4) it's willingness to abstain from endorsements of either political
candidates or issues.
