    This death is on FOX. Thinking half-black Eisenhower is going to ruin everything is a fantasy created 24 hours a day on the hyperbolic vitriolic propaganda network.

    Also: tanning salons might have their own economic issues that are beyond any economic recovery. Like, oh, people learning about melanoma.

    I feel bad for the dudes' family, but I place most of the blame on Romney's campaign for scaring people with easily-documented LIES. I also blame Fox News for perpetuating all of it and having people believe that the world will end if an African American is reelected.

    Thanks for that graphic, GR.

    Fox "News" is one thing, but to see McCain play puppet to the faux outrage is really the saddest part for me.

    I would bet he literally does not know about the 30 killed from 2002-2008, when he wasn't calling for "Watergate" style hearings. Dude just looks increasingly bitter about his epic loss to the POTUS, and his high point was a truly classy and inspiring concession speech. Sad coda we are seeing now, and I don't mean that as a partisan. I had always been a fan of his, but he's gone from maverick of the party to part of the problem.

    Sad that so many just ignore the obvious differences in the events in GR's graphic. I guess you all are just blinded by the Obama light.

    Foxnews is the counter weight for msnbc...CNN is more centerized. Don't blame the media and propaganda so much. It gets old

    Exactly. I think I'll go open a video-game parlor. No wait...maybe a used 8-track/cassette tape/Betamax/VHS store......

    I agree it gets old, but I mean something different. I literally have relatives who now spend hours a day, red-faced and furious, screaming at the TV every time FOX puts a liberal on the screen. Everyone else has to leave the house, and nobody can talk to them about how it's affecting their quality of life. It is a different level of bad and misleading and manipulative, ROXRAN, wholly different that I've seen in 40+ years.

    I know it's a good business model, but somebody has to talk about it, because it's really bad for the country and for the emotional health of those who are addicted. Yes, MSNBC may be just as bad (I don't watch it, so I don't know.) I don't have anyone in my life who is addicted to MSNBC and screaming at the television all day long, but those people probably exist somewhere for sure.

    But I'll try not to be so repetitive. Cheers.

    "Liberal media."

    Everytime I've flipped past the "liberal media" in the past few days the ONLY things they seem to be talking about: the storm, the scandal, and Benghazi.

    And a 10% tax on his business' services.

    It isn't like tanning salons are the most successful businesses out there.

    No, but they're as successful as they are largely due to bad information.

    They really shouldn't exist - i think the pigovian concept of taxing them in a health care bill, considering that the negative externality they promote is increased risk of skin cancer that raises health care costs, is a pretty good idea.

    Dunno about that, but you do appear to be wrapped up like a douche.

    Sadly, I have the same situation with a few relatives. Thanksgiving will be interesting.

    I'm not saying the tax is a bad thing, particularly if we get to the point of universal health care. Those that make choices that result in increased medical spending should bear the cost of those choices.

    Yeah, they just use terrorist attacks as an excuse to lie their way into a second war resulting the deaths of nearly 5,000 American soliders and thousands of Iraqi civilians.

    That's totally better. :rolleyes:

    When ever I heard that song as a kid, I'd be like, What the hell is a douche?"
