Default Fox caught rigging focus groups

Rupert Murdoch got caught with his pants down this time. With "Faux
News" sliding in the Neilsen's, it won't be long until Rupee unloads
it, just like he did the LA Dodgers after he screwed them all up.

are corporate whores who support one political party because it
forwards their business agenda and the wealth of the owner/executives.

That's why they have no time for anti-war candidates like Ron Paul or
religious conservatives who've raised taxes like Huckabee. Everyone's
finally catching on. It's going to be an exciting year...

Fox News Used Planted Actor In Focus Groups
The credibility of Fox News is pretty much close to zero. It was
bad enough that they refused to allow Ron Paul in their NH debate
forum, but now they have been caught planting an actor in their
supposedly random focus groups. Frank Luntz one of the chief
propagandists for Fox News who organizes these focus groups has
been caught planting people in focus groups in a clear attempt to
distort reality. During tonight's Fox News GOP debate, Luntz
organized a focus group to provide feedback from so called random
Republican voters. However, one of the people in the focus group
was also used in a previous focus group Luntz organized for the
September 5th, 2007 GOP presidential debate. Take a look at the
two videos taken from both focus groups and you'll see that the
same guy appears in two supposedly random focus groups.

Photo Of Same Guy At The Two Focus Groups
Each video from the two focus groups shows the exact same guy.
Ask yourself this. What are the odds that a focus group of
randomly selected Republicans would include the same person
twice? The odds are not very good, and if they wanted to maintain
any sort of credibility in the validity of their focus group
wouldn't they ensure that they would have different people in the
two focus groups? Clearly, this person was planted by Fox News as
part of an effort by Luntz and Fox News to present a distorted
reality to the audience. Fox News has no credibility and Luntz
should apologize for intentionally presenting distorted focus
groups and misleading the general public. It was bad enough that
they did not include Dr. Paul in the debates, but to
intentionally distort reality with staged focus groups and lie to
people about how they selected the people in them warrants an
investigation.

Default Patriot Post Chronicle- vast LEFT WING conspiracy- against Hillary !

THE FOUNDATION: NATIONAL DEFENSE
"To render the justice of the war on our part the more conspicuous,
the reluctance to commence it was followed by the earliest and
strongest manifestations of a disposition to arrest its progress. The
sword was scarcely out of the scabbard before the enemy was apprised
of the reasonable terms on which it would be resheathed." --James
Madison

INSIGHT
"Freedom was given to humanity by God. But, governments, if they can
help it, never give freedom. They just hand out slavery with slogans."
--Taylor Caldwell

"To prevent inquiry is among the worst of evils." --Thomas Holcroft

"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the
love of ourselves." --William Hazlitt

"That's what a Congressman or a Senator is for--to see that too much
money don't accumulate in the national Treasury." --Will Rogers

EDITORIAL EXEGESIS
"If the New Hampshire debates settled anything, it's which party has
the stomach to take on radical Islam. The Democrats couldn't even
identify the enemy. Not once. Really. We scanned the transcripts of
Saturday's debates hosted by ABC News and tallied up the references to
Islamic terrorism. The rhetorical divide between Democrats and
Republicans on that score alone--ignoring the yawning gaps in policy--is
stunning. None of the four Democrat presidential candidates--despite
running for an office that demands they lead the ongoing global war
against Islamic extremists--could bring himself or herself to define
the enemy we face as Islamic. Their combined references to 'Islam' or
'Islamic' totaled zero--even though moderator Charles Gibson prompted
them with a question about 'Islamic radicals' threatening the U.S.
with nuclear terrorism. But Democrats refused to go there. Out of
respect for their constituency, there was a complete blackout
regarding Islamic jihad... Republicans, on the other hand, called the
enemy by its proper name. The candidates referred to terrorists and
terrorism as 'Islamic,' while also citing radical 'Islam' as the
problem, no less than 22 times... They get it. Democrats don't. They
talked a lot about 'fighting' --fighting insurance companies and big
business and Wall Street and polluters. But will they fight the real
enemy--Islamic terrorists?... These contrasting performances in New
Hampshire should crystallize in voters' minds more than any other
recent example how one party understands the titanic challenge we face
from radical Islam, while the other decidedly does not." --Investor's
Business Daily

UPRIGHT
"As you know by now, Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary and
John McCain won the Republican primary in New Hampshire thus jumbling
both the Republican and Democratic nomination pictures like your three-
year-old tipping over the card table with that 2,000 piece jigsaw
puzzle you've been working on since Christmas." --Rich Galen

"A political alliance isn't a marriage. You don't have to take a
presidential candidate for better or worse. Only when they're right." --
W. James Antle III "The question of what kind of President each
candidate would make is infinitely more important than all the 'horse
race' handicapping that dominates the media." --Thomas Sowell

"Liberal voters want desperately to cast a history-making vote and, if
that's your priority, Barack Obama is a much more appealing way to
cast it than Hillary. Don't worry about this 'Change You Can Believe
In' shtick. Obama doesn't believe in it, and neither should you. He's
a fresh face on the same-old-same-old--which is the only change
Democrats are looking for." --Mark Steyn

"These are hard days for democracy. That is not a reason for giving up
on it... For the spread of democracy today, we need to practice our
own brand of syncretism and learn not to abandon the field when forced
to settle for regional adaptations that fall short of the Jeffersonian
ideal." --Charles Krauthammer

"The titans of the major media don't see themselves as in need of
reform. They think the voters have to be reformed, not the media." --
Brent Bozell

"It's getting lonelier all the time at the top for America, which with
a corporate tax rate of 35% is one of the few developed nations left
with a rate of more than 30%... Foreign leaders have learned that, in
a world of easy global capital flows, high tax rates chase away
investment and entrepreneurs." --The Wall Street Journal



DEZINFORMATSIA
Memo to Chris: Bush is not on the ballot: "There's no doubt about it.
And there's no way to read it except as a rebuke to President Bush." --
MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Barack Obama's caucus win in Iowa

From the Sycophant Files: "No subject is too small. No issue too
dense. Hillary Clinton is taking question after question from voters,
from reporters. She's pounding the pavement, literally going door to
door for votes." --ABC's Kate Snow

Nope, no bias he "Besides a decided preference for operating in the
dark, the Bush administration has contributed to the woes of the press
in another way. It has helped create a toxic climate for the press by
inflaming the polarization of our public." --New York Times Executive
Editor Bill Keller

From the Class Warfare Department: "There was a statistic that came
out this week from the Congressional Budget Office which was just
stunning to me. It said that in the last two years--from 2003 to 2005--
the increase in income for the top one percent exceeded the total
income of the bottom 20 percent. Given that, what would be wrong with
letting the tax cuts for the top one percent expire and plowing that
money into education?" --ABC's George Stephanopoulos

"We're the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't insure
all of our citizens. If we can afford a trillion-dollar war in Iraq,
why can't we afford medical insurance for everybody?" --ABC's Charles
Gibson to the Republican candidates at the 1/5/08 debate **Sorry
Charlie--check the Constitution.

A broken clock is right twice a day: "[Hillary] claimed that she
disliked the red state, blue state terminology--'We are one country,'
she said, echoing Obama--even as she added that she should be the
nominee because she's the best one 'to withstand the Republican attack
machine.' What she doesn't mention is that she knows how to fight off
the Republican attack machine because she and her husband were so
adept at revving it up." --New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd

Newspulper Headlines: Noah, call your office: 3 Dead in Ind. Floods, 1
in Ark. Tornado --Associated Press

Breaking News From 1997: "Gates Pushes Idea of Windows Everywhere" --
Associated Press

Bottom Stories of the Day: "Bush Won't Visit Yasser Arafat's Tomb" --
Jerusalem Post "George Clooney Boycott Threat to Oscars" --Times
(London) (Thanks to The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto)

THE DEMO-GOGUES
The moving target: "After 9/11, I would never have taken us to war in
Iraq. I would have stayed focused on Afghanistan because the real
threat was coming from there." --Hillary Clinton, who voted to go to
war in Iraq

You don't say: "The Clinton campaign has no conscience." --John
Edwards

You don't say II: "I can't make her younger, taller, male. There's
lots of things I can't do." --Bill Clinton on Hillary

Try to figure this one out: "I want to make change, but I've already
made change. I will continue to make change. I'm not just running on a
promise of change. I'm running on 35 years of change." --Hillary Sort
of getting it right: "One of my opponents said we can't just, you
know, offer the American people false hopes about what we can get
done. The real gamble in this election is to do the same things, with
the same folks, playing the same games over and over and over again
and somehow expect a different result." --Barack Obama on Hillary
Clinton

Jaw-dropper of the week: "My goodness I've been accused of everything.
Of all the people running for president, I've been the most vetted,
the most investigated, and my goodness, the most innocent it turns
out." --Hillary "the Innocent"

When all else fails, "cry": "It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I
didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. I have so
many opportunities from this country just don't want to see us fall
backwards [fake tears]..." --Hillary, who, according to Rush Limbaugh,
just "set back feminism back 50 years"

More from the Class Warfare Department: "[Last week's] jobs report
confirms what most Americans already knew: President Bush's economic
policies have failed our country's middle class." --House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi

VILLAGE IDIOTS
Warning: May induce extreme nausea: "His supersized fondness for life,
humans, activity, accomplishment, makes you aware of your own negative
mind. His seemingly boundless energy makes you aware of how
prematurely you habitually pronounce yourself tired. A hopeful, almost
naive quality he has... feels somehow generational: vestigial evidence
of the Summer of Love. His drive, his fame, the public nature of
everything he does, makes you giddily grateful for the humble scale of
your own life." --author George Saunders in "Bill Clinton, Public
Citizen" "Of course he's sexy. He seems to be flourishing and
following his calling. It's just the most enviable thing in the world,
like watching a beautiful racehorse run." --actress Uma Thurman on Al
Gore

Priorities: "If you want to get out of Iraq and refocus America's
priorities to really fight terrorism, vote for a Democrat for
president. If you want to ensure that all Americans get affordable
healthcare, vote for a Democrat for president." --DNC chief Howard
Dean

From the "religion of peace": "The occupied territories are awaiting
their first visit by the crusader Bush and the mujahideen are also
waiting for him." --American al-Qa'ida leader Adam Gadahn issuing
threats about the President's visiting the Middle East this week

Not all the corn is in Iowa: "I have not been heavily involved in
singing the praises of the Nixon administration. But the case for
impeaching Bush and Cheney is far stronger than was the case against
Nixon and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew after the 1972 election. The
nation would be much more secure and productive under a Nixon
presidency than with Bush. Indeed, has any administration in our
national history been so damaging as the Bush-Cheney era?" --former
Sen. George McGovern

SHORT CUTS
"With Barack Obama and John Edwards constantly bashing her, how is it
that Hillary Clinton hasn't yet complained about the vast left-wing
conspiracy?" --Burt Prelutsky

"[Mike] Huckabee likes to head-fake people into thinking he's Gomer
Pyle, but he's more like the barefoot boy of the green room. He's more
James Carville than Jim Nabors." --Peggy Noonan

"Rudy Giuliani's team are betting that after a Huck/McCain seesaw
through the early states, by Jan. 29 Florida voters will be ready to
unite their party behind a less divisive figure, if by 'less divisive
figure' you mean a pro-abortion gun-grabbing cross-dresser." --Mark
Steyn

"Everybody in this race, Democrat and Republican, is now officially
for Change. They get more fervent about Change every day; it's only a
matter of time before they start calling for tactical air strikes on
Washington. I'll be honest with you: I'm getting tired of Change. I
think it'd be nice, for a change, if a candidate came out against
Change, maybe with a catchy slogan like, 'Remember: It Could Get
Worse,' or 'Hey, At Least You're Not Dead'." --Dave Barry "Would some
change-minded candidate or other kindly inform the American people
what this business amounts to? Change what into what? We're durned if
we know." --William Murchison




Veritas vos Liberabit--Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus, et Fidelis! Mark
Alexander, Publisher, for The Patriot's editors and staff. (Please
pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the
world, and for their families--especially families of those fallen
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who granted
their lives in defense of American liberty.)

Default Fox caught rigging focus groups

to all whom may read any of DeserTBob's posts- here is his picture-
would you take political advice from someone
too lazy to get a haircut ?

http://i15.tinypic.com/71gxjep.jpg


To all who may read this at any future date:

Everything "DeserTBob" is saying, is a complete falsehood.
"DeserTBob" is an unemployed illegal alien from the West Coast USA.
He was
a
former Bell Systems employee "phone guy" who was fired from his job-
he faked an
injury to get disability- so now he sits home and trolls the
internet,
harassing people- for lack of anything else constructive to do.

"DeserTBob" bought 2 items from "66fourdoor" on Ebay at one time.
One
was an 8-track alignment tape- the other was a VHS movie tape.
"DeserTBob" was unhappy with the items, the seller agreed willingly
to
issue a full refund (still that seller's policy to this day), once the
items were returned. "DeserTBob"
returned the alignment tape and received a full $40 refund.
"DeserTBob" kept the VHS tape because in reality, there was nothing
wrong with either item- and the movie tape was a rare out of print NON-
COPYRIGHTED
movie, otherwise unavailable. (it has since been re-released on
DVD). The returned alignment tape was later resold to another buyer
on Ebay, who left positive feedback for it.

"DeserTBob" then left a negative feedback for the seller, even though
he got a full refund- "DesertBob" has continued to harass the seller
and seller's family ever since, for over 3 years now.

This is nothing new to "DeserTBob"- rather, it's way of life for him-
he also purchased (8) tapes from another seller for ONE CENT each,
only to leave the seller 8 negative feedbacks, stating "not worth a
penny".

Eventually a large quantity of complaints started flooding into Ebay,
concerning "DeserTBob" and his auction harassment. Ebay then banned
DeserTBob's Ebay username, which was "VOXPOPPER".

"DeserTBob" then returned to Ebay using a second name, calling
himself
"XCALIBER44"- and started once again harassing various Ebay sellers'
auctions. He was again reported to Ebay, and "XCALIBER44" was also
banned.

These current slanders/libels against Ebay sellers by "DeserTBob" are
completely unfounded- if you check the seller's feedback, you'll find
they have 99.9% positive feedback, with only 2 negatives in 6 years.
"DeserTBob" simply has an axe to grind, for being banned from Ebay
himself.

Furthermore, "DeserTBob" is decidedly anti-American, anti-USA, hates
the military, and is basically a socialist-communist-liberal left-wing
radical. He fears and despises anyone religious in any way, and he
also
doesn't believe in God. "DeserTBob" once posted a comment on Usenet
that said "**** Christmas". He can't accomplish anything himself,
so he tears down other good Americans who are out there, trying to
make a
living. He goes through a yearly holiday depression and attacks
everyone on the internet, even moreso during holiday seasons- he has
no
family to speak of, and obviously suffers from not being loved by his
mother enough, as a child.
