That statement makes no sense.

I feel dumber reading that....

 

 

Two statements that can be attributed to any remark by QO.

That statement makes no sense. You are blasting the media for something that never happened....you just assume that's how it will play out.

I feel dumber reading that....

 

It's pretty simple; the left wing media is criticizing Trump, which means had obama done it they would be praising him. 

 

And yes, that is how fucked up they are, all driven by personal hatred.  

 

Get in the game.

LOL, that's pretty heavily and selectively edited.  Most of Fox's programs have a point/counterpoint format where contributors argue and defend multiple points of view.  So if you ignore 1/3 the commentary on these shows then, yes, they look like a mirror image of the left wing propaganda.  And their straight news with Sheppard Smith / Brett Baier / Cavuto is just about the best out there.

It’s pretty dumb for him to lie and say parents were asking him to get the remains of their children back from the Korean War. The war ended in 1953. Most vets of this war are 90+. Their parents would be over 100. It’s cool to say you want to get remains back, but why lie? Does he think we can’t count?

when I read this the first thing I thought was I need to see how QO will spin this into something positive. I know he can!!

This is so apropos.  After all, Marilyn said it when she was on the president's nuts, too.

Unless people like Soros are spending their life fortune [he is] to support liberal candidates.

Seriously, I wonder if measuring mico-advertising (say ad spend in Ohio) isn't a way to successfully correct polling margin of error to almost zero.  I bet if you outspend your opponent enough you can swing the vote 2% or more.

But can that be true after the Trump election?

Hillary outspent Trump, HOWEVER Trump got BILLIONS in free exposure from the media which may have given him a signficant advantage over Hillary.  Say what you want about Trump, the guy knows how to use the media.  To some extent I think he blew kind of a fake dog whistle, one which triggerd the libtards in the media to cover him, but his voters didn't imagine the same racism/misogyny/etc in the messaging.

I also find Trey Gowdy's reaction to the IG report pretty telling.  Literally in the days leading up to this report, he was defending the DOJ and appeared to be rebuking some comments coming out of the WH.  But he was pretty pissed off after getting a look at the IG report.

 

But Gowdy has to be angling to be the next Attorney General, right?

Watching democrats criticize Trump is comical considering that had Obama met Kim, they'd be stepping all over themselves to congratulate him.  AT THE SAME TIME - and consistent with your never seeing any fault in the right - had Obama met with Kim, republicans, Limbaughs, Hannitys, etc would have hard-ons about calling him a commie sympathizer.  There are no two ways about it - hypocrisy knows no political sides.  Something you struggle mightily with.

I don't really disagree, but this case is a bad example.  Once NK demonstrated capability and a path toward ICBMs, the calculus changed and even many of the neocons who would oppose meeting Kim had to acknowledge it was necessary.

Also, I don't recall Obama for being criticized meeting with Iran, or others before him.  The Iran deal had it's critics, on both sides of the aisle, actually.

 

If you want to point out the hypocrisy/double standards, look no further than the tariff/trade talk.  The right had always been for free markets, and protectionism is a 90's Dem platform (i.e. "fair" trade).  Yeah, Hannity and Rush would be absolutely hammering Obama if he had done the same thing.
