    Harry Ried supporters screaming for people to drop dead?

    Now I post this tongue in cheek but seriously, if this were coming from someone on the conservative side the lame stream media would be salivating on themselves over this....

    Really? You seriously think that this is anywhere near the level of vitriol spewed by the Tea Partiers? You are seriously deranged.

    I wouldn't expext anything less from you guys. Any yet none of you mananged an intelligent response other to attempt to mock me; I will chalk that up as a win! :cool:

    Personally I don't care what she screams at Harry Ried but my point still holds true that there is bias in the main stream media. With all the hooplah going on lately about hate speech, harsh words and phrases, changing the political lexicon (for republicans), etc. I would expect this to be a front page story.....but of course its not.

    And if you guys want to keep on believing there is no biased, I am not mad at you for thinking this way. I am just pointing out that if you are open minded enough you can see the bias.

    the reason the other instances got more pub is because there were protests where a politician looked to be spit on on his way to vote for a historic bill on the steps of the capital

    this looks like some meeting at a bingo hall

    So, you will just act like a Republican and declare victory when it is clear that you have been defeated.

    One woman saying "drop dead" about Reid's opponents seems a rather mild epithet compared to civil rights leaders being called "n*****" on the way to the vote on HCR. In fact, it seems a rather mild epithet compared to dozens of instances every day on Faux "News," but its not like we can expect you to be "fair and balanced" given the garbage to which you subject yourself.

    You mean if you have Faux "News" pointing out extremely mild taunts and claiming that these words are as bad as calling a black civil right leader a "n*****," then you can see the bias.

    These situations are apples and submarines, but you just keep conflating them, it makes you look as clueless as Glenn Beck.

    Yeh, most people consider being mocked as a win.

    You're the champ.

    When your news source is Fox News or the Bill O' show, you automatically have a biased point of view.

    I think if the same viewers that watched Fox would watch ANY other news channel, they would have a different perspective on everything.

    I refuse to watch the visual cancer that is infatuated with tea baggers during irrelevant events, Palin "Paris Hilton" book signings or Glen Beck trying to make a point with a chalk board full of mildly-racist conspiracy theories.

    Excellent point. Here we have down-the-middle MSNBC rolling up their sleeves and doing the hard-hitting journalism they've become famous for:

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UYKQJ4-N7LI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UYKQJ4-N7LI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    If you got your news from propaganda outfit FNC, you'd have likely just seen a picture of this dude:

    [​IMG]

    Of course that image alone doesn't tell you the whole story. It covers up his secret identity as one of the thousands if not millions of angry racist white people out to overthrow the government. Oh sure, every now and then Hannity will intentionally roll the wrong stock footage as he rambles on about about right wing hate rallies, but you'll never see the kind of dedication MSNBC employs by anyone else over there.
