Note how the following obits begin:

Obit from the NY Times regarding the death of former KKK member Robert Byrd:

"Robert C. Byrd, who used his record tenure as a United States senator to fight for the primacy of the legislative branch of government and to build a modern West Virginia with vast amounts of federal money, died at about 3 a.m. Monday, his office said. He was 92."

Obit from the NY Times regarding the death of Jesse Helms:

"Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday. He was 86."

Obit from the NY Times regarding the death of Strom Thurmond:

“Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100."

I rest my case.

Gee, I wonder why the Fox News Channel kicks ass?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

did the other two ever concede they were wrong, or did they die sticking to their antiquated beliefs?

 
i noticed faux news was running coverage of Kagan getting grilled by the GOP all morning... did they have the same type and depth of coverage for W's nominations?

double standard?

And yes, W's nominations were also covered by "Fox News"....they were shorter and nastier as the dems enjoyed blocking the nominations and talking about pubic hairs and such...remember all that?

Faulky, you are still a fucking moonbat dumbass, and that ain't mad, that be fact fucktard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Yes they did fucktard, and no, Sheets Byrd never renounced his days in the KKK...he was throwin' the "N" word around as recently as a few years ago....all I can say to Byrd's death is "Good riddance". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif

He can join FatBoy in Hell. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

I've noticed that only republicans care about that and spout it at every opportunity, like a victorious battle cry of some sort...or that it has any correlation to anything of real value.

I'm not a Republican....I am a conservative....more like a libertarian/conservative...most of the Republicans can go the same way I want the Democrats to go...and that is straight to Hell. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

And as Fox News is kicking all of the other broadcast channels respective asses...it must say something as to what type of "news" ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, PBS, CNN et el are reporting...which is to say "NONE"....just liberal/progressive pap devoid of what used to be called journalism. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
