Palin is ignorant and intolerant and thinks she knows all the answers. And of course, she has been placed in a position of rare power by rich powerful men with a private agenda. An agenda that threatens the individual liberties you mistakenly think you are defending.

This is not a conspiracy against Palin by any imaginary rabid pack of liberals. Philosophers through the ages would fear what she embodies and what she is being used for. Wake up.

When do I defend Fox? When they ask the legitimate questions every reporter should be asking (at least in my estimation). A free press is messy and sometimes not fair and sometimes not balanced. That’s the only way it works.

I only mentioned Bob Beckel because I happen to like him. He’s very partisan and made sense as Palin’s polar opposite. And you know, as well as I, that 99% of the people in this country couldn’t recite any of the “lies” you listed above. Palin is polarizing because she’s a Republican, Christian, pro-life, conservative woman who was totally unprepared for the national stage. That’s what unnerves her opposition.

Yes, you think FNC is “fair and balanced” as evidenced by other comments. You just said that it “makes it even” because “her FNC colleague was just as polarizing.” So, you can enjoy the ranting and raving all you want, while I’ll enjoy seeing you struggle to defend FNC. What’s funny is that you stand by the “fair and balanced” slogan when it suits your needs and abandon it when you want to prove someone wrong. It’s also funny that you, again, suggest evenness when you state that “it’s not uncommon for fox to hire such individuals (liberal or conservative).” It is clearly more common for FNC to hire conservatives, if not in general then to higher profile positions. There is no fairness, nor balance, and to see you suggest that is laughable. If you actually believe it, it’s just sad.

So they hired someone based on their “partisan” views and debates………so Fox is in essence not fair and balanced………I wasnt talking to you or rebutting you with my first comment. But then YOU had to come in with a O’Reilly-esque whine as if the hiring of Palin was justified because they had also hired Beckel. So without further elaboration in your one sentence post, we the readers would have to assume that you were alluding to the fact that its even now?

If you want us to truly understand what your thinking or saying, then elaborate or shut the f**k up
