    What a lame cop-out. Just characterize the well-documented article, with proud quotes from Roger Ailes himself as "unbelievable". Just because you made the wrong assumptions before you read the article . . . which is about Ailes, not CNN. And it is abundantly clear that you did not know that for the obvious reason.

    And he has tooted Ron Reagans, George Bush's, and Milhous Nixon's, too. He has genuine moderate credibility and say what he wants to about both parties.

    "Roger Ailes is the general," declared Bill O'Reilly. "And the general sets the tone of the army. Our army is very George Patton-esque. We charge. We roll."

    A political attack piece represented as news. Wow the pot calling the kettle black again. With the massive political media machine Obama built to win the whitehouse, you don't think the left is doing the same thing and will be on full attack next year? When you fear something you attack it. Liberals are attacking fox news. If were lucky fox news will influence yet another election. The next election. The election that cost the dems the senate, yet more house seats, a few governorships and yes put your beloved Barry Obama out on his ass. I read your article. I'm glad the reps finally started playing hardball. I hope they learned from their mistakes last election and they figure it out. They figure out how to get a true conservative in the whitehouse.

    Here is another personal attack from you. This time you insinuate that I have to hide behind a gun. Here's your quote..

    "Never been big on guns, though. I think they're for pussies. Stop hiding behind guns and come out and fight like my grandfather and father did. Sure you might get your ass beat every once in a while, but at least no one is dead. "

    Like I said dude, you don't know me. I don't hide behind a gdamn thing and never have. My dad put me in boxing when I was in 9th grade. I boxed for four years. I started karate when I was 16. Got my 1st degree in tang soo do when I was 23. I got my second degree at 26. I also have a brown belt in hap ki do and aikido. I had my own school for five years until I broke my back and had to give it up for medical reasons. While I choose not to fight I don't hide from f'in nobody. I don't need a gun I want a gun. Like I said you don't know me. Trust me you don't want to. I have never hid from a motherfriker in my life.
