Please!!!

You continue to generate excuses, as to why your favorite news network keep getting stomped into the ground.

Keep telling yourself the pitiful handful of MSNBC viewers are smarter than everyone else. Maybe someone will actually buy it.  ::)

No, I'm arguing the usual "They're all stupid" argument is nothing more than sour grapes from those on the losing end.

That's Blacken's tripe for why Fox keeps killing MSNBC.

Half the population don't understand that. Guess which half that puts YOU in?

It puts me in the half that's smart enough to take you to the woodshed, every time you come up with some silly post like this.

it's actually hard to shit on obama for his execution of the war on terror.

yeah, he's not grabbing his belt buckle pouting "bring it on" to a billion stupid arab youths.  He's polite and pronounces the titles of their countries in a way they prefer.

But facts are facts... he hasn't had a major attack like 911, he has spent MORE money on fighting terror than Bush did, etc.

The only reason he hasn't had a major attack is because the would-be assailant botched up the attempt.

well, by those standards, it is gonna happen no matter who is in charge.

At this point in bush's presidency, 1 year in, there was already 911 and richard reid shoe bomber.  So if you want to use that yardstick, which I don't, you could say Obama faced 1 botched attack and Bush...

See, I hate to do that so I dont' want to.  I dont blame Bush for Reid near-attack.  911 was different because he admits he was handed intel, and he/condi/rummy/ashcroft passed it around and NEVER READ IT.

half the population has an IQ between 90 and 110.

IQ definition of MA/CA means that what it has to be.  (mental age/chronological age)

Hysterical.   I am still waiting for you to play the Mika B. clip saying that her favorite founding father is Abe Lincoln. 

Of course you wont play that clip jackass.

No, it doesn't.  That's why statistics uses three methods for describing the middle of a data set:  the mean, the median, and the mode.

actually you're right the median would be in the middle - my bad - when most people say average they mean "mean"

Obviously to appeal to you since you watch these shows far more than I do.  It seems as though you spend all day monitoring Fox.  I dontevcen watch tv other than a little news, Yes Network, UFC, and now 24.

How is Carlson playing dumb, again?

Fox News CRUSHES your Obama-worshipping-left-wing-gurgling MSNBC, bottom line.

Calling the viewers dumb as an excuse for the fact that MSNBC sucks is par the course for whiny folks like you.

And for a while there... Jerry Springer "crushed" in his ratings too.
I wouldn't exactly call the average or even above average Springer viewer a Rhodes scholar.   :-\

That "while" for Fox has been the better part of a decade.

It seems that, like Blacken, you can't seem to bring yourself to admit that Fox's dominance can't simply be reduced to the infantile claim that Fox's viewers are dumb and MSNBC's viewers (what pitiful few there are) are smart.

The funny thing is that Blacken is hooked on Fox News even more than those he thinks are watching but are not.

Well on MSNBC they dont play dumb,they are dumb.Mathews ,Shultz,Olbermann and Maddow try to actually sound intelligent and fail at it each and every night.

By the way 240,fort hood was a terror attack that killed 14 people.Please stop acting like Obama hasnt had a terror attack on his watch.
