The right wing tea party rallies and the propaganda on FOX is more like Germany in 1933, than San Francisco in 1970s. The right accuse Obama of being a fascist to distract from the fact that their Christian nationalism is fascist in nature. Maybe they don't recognize this since they do not understand the difference between fascism, communism or socialism.
Hey idiot, You cannot be a fascist and a Communist at the same time. They are opposing political policies.
Get educated.
"It is true Margaret Sanger believed some horrific things as part an parcel of her crusade to legalize contraception." mona
-------
Margaret Sanger never proposed anything horrific. She was against illegal abortion as a means of birth control and that is why she promoted contraception. For years conservatives tried to drive fear into black and poor communities by telling them Sanger wanted them to use birth control because she was a racists and wanted to reduce their numbers. Yes she wanted women to plan their families and reduce the number of children they had, but not because she was a racists. I have an original copy of her book 'Women and the American Race". She felt that by giving ALL women access to contraception they could plan their families, reduce the family size , and their children would be healthier, they could afford to educate them and get out of poverty.
Nevertheless, I think Fox serves to balance the mainstream media - NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, N.Y. Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times, Boston Globe, etc., which by all accounts are in the tank for President Barack Obama; decidedly so.

Anything you quote from FOX is totally unreliable.
NO, Beck tried his childish scheme in many ACORN offices and it did not work.
FOX claims to be fair and accurate, yet they continue to spread misinformation on a daily basis. If you really believes FOX is are being fair and ACCURATE, then why should you oppose bringing back the laws that guaranteed ACCURACY AND FAIRNESS for all media.
How Congress can act so quickly to pull funding for ACORN because of one stupid ACORN employee in ONE ACORN office who was entrapped by a mentally disturbed moron like BECK. Yet we continue to spend billions on abusive private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan who get paid more than our own military.
are good arguments as to why we need to bring back the 'fair and accuracy' in the media law.
Perhaps Beck is a bit of a Prick . . . but a Goebbels? You lightweights are funny!!!

Yes, Goebbels was probably a lot smarter than Beck. Beck is rather a light weight when it comes to knowledge and history.
Beck is not just a prick, he is a very disturbed person. Maybe we should sympathize with his problems and hope he gets help soon.
This past year I saw a Documnetary on Goebells based on his diary and speeches. They were all translated into English and the right wing rants of the Christian peasant nationalist in the U.S. sound very much like to Hitlers's right-wing PR machinery.
It would be beneficial if someone could put together a comparative documentary.
we need a trigger for a public plan.
Screw the republicans. They are no interested in the people of this country, only defeating anything Obama or the MAJORITY party proposes.
At least Snowe is not a Christian nationlist like GLOCK45.
PULL THE PLUG ON RIGHT WING THUGS!
PULL THE PLUG ON PRO-LIFE TERRORISTS!
PULL THE PLUG ON BECK!
Your amazing ignorance in regard to fascism and the NAZIs amazes me. Instead of reading the revisionist history presented by the Chrisitian fascists, I suggest you get educated.
Fascism is a system of government marked by a centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of of the opposition through terror and censorhip,, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism, and racism.
The NAZI were a right-wing political party which used the fascist policies to gain control of the Democratic govenremnt of Germany.
They did this by bulling brown shirt tactics, similar to tea baggers, getting their leader elected to government (Christain right here) and a well orchestrated public relations campaign built on LIES (BECK). The NAZIs rallied against socialism and communism and connected it to their racist tactics against the Jews, just like the right are doing with Obama and progrssives.
Like the attempts Christian right in this country, Hitler made abortion illegal, rounded up gays, communism, feminists intellectuals, elitists, and put them in camps with Jews.
Hitler censored books, art, movies, music, science that did not fit into his right wing agenda. Some liberals, intellectuals, scientists, actors, artist saw it coming and got out before the fianl solution.
All this look very similar to the rights tactics here, and BECK is their Goebbels.
The nut bag Christian right come up with a anti Christ each time they lose an election. This has been going on for decades. Just ignore them.
Hey we may have figured out why Acorn was so eager to get those brothels for illegal immigrant teenage 12 to 15 year old girls to be held as sex slaves!!!

Maybe to sell them to the Christian right republican leaders. We all know how much those guys love kinky sex outside their traditional marriages.
Fox makes small issues BIg issues because people like Beck, O'reily, Hannity lack good journalistic experience and intelligence to expose the important stories. They have no interest in good journalism or balanced stories, they are just acting as the Goebbels for the right.
I taking your comments are satire. After all it was your friends at FOX who hired the actors.
1. Ralph Reed, closeted poster boy for the Christian Peasants--Abramnoff scandal.
2. Tom Delay, repubican speaker of the Congress left on ethics charges.... Abramnoff scandal.
3. Dick Army, former republican representative from TX., left Congress ethics charges.
This list goes on and on, yet ACORN is more important to these right-wing clowns.
