Abuse of power

Bruce - don't backstep so fast when Spence lays out his response - sometimes he is correct, more often he is not, frequently falling into the space between.

BTW - what Tea Party site is Tabloid? or http://conservativetribune.com/

What Spence doesn't say is that MANY different Political sites can be considered Tabloid, he only says the Tea Party ones are Tabloid. He also meglects to mention that these sites - on both sides of the coin, like the political parties, like to cater to their base.

Bias is only bad if it is the other guys, right?

I was responding to the link as posted, not making a broader analysis. My guess would be that there's nothing on the left that compares to the tabloid hype machine on the right.

Years from now when it's too late Dinesh D'Souza will say I TOLD YOU SO !

Obama's America 2012 & America, Imagine the world without her, say everything about this communist POS !

"MY guess", Just another one of those favorite Spence's terms he uses when he can't document a statement.

It's pretty obvious Spence hates this country and the constitution

Tragic, but what does the Constitution have to do with it?

Also to your link, what about Obama's policy constitutes "amnesty" and what about it contributed to this death?

Now I see why you chose to use My Guess rather than opinion as Guess is a judgment based on Special Knowledge given by an Expert.

I'm sur ethat would be your guess, and as usual, it woul dbe demonstrably false.

Obama himself says that "republicans gotta stop just hating all the time".

If y ouwatch MSNBC for any meaningful amount of time, you will hear that conservatives are racists who hate women, are Islamophobic, anti-science, and only care about the rich and hate the environment, poor people, and old people, evidenced by our stated miussion to destroy social security and medicare. Nope, no sensationalkizing there...

It's so common on the left, you don't notice it any more than a fish takes notice of teh fact that it's wet. It becomes the norm.

Clearlt it exists on the right but don't tell me that MSNBC and the Huffiungton Post aren't right up there. The New York Times, for Gods sake, ran a baseless story suggesting that John McCain's adopted daughter, was actually the child produced by an affair he had.

It would be interesting to compare the number and content of negatives aimed at Bush from the left 10 ago vs the ones leveled at Obama currently.
Especially who lied the most between the two of them.

the president brings a lot of this upon himself with his demeanor....his predecessor(whom he has criticized to no end), on the other hand, was for the most part an honest and decent guy

I believe the only person truly capable if disrespecting the office is the office holder...at that...he has exceeded expectations

I agree it would be interesting. I don't think it would be close. The far left yelled at Pres. Bush but the mainstream right has joined the far right to hurl insults at Pres Obama.

What % of right tried taking his God and country away from him by lying about his religion and where he was born? A large % still believe that.

"I don't think it would be close." Me either, and I'd bet the other way...

"The far left yelled at Pres. Bush "

Do you remember the 2004 and 2006 elections? It was brutal, he was called a war criminal. Harry Reid called him a loser. All a metter of perception, I guess.

"What % of right tried taking his God and country away from him by lying about his religion and where he was born?"

I bet the % of conservatives who genuinely believed he was a Muslim, is a lot lower than you'd guess. Hell, I wish he was a Muslim, as that is a lot easier to understand than how anyone, and I mean anyone, could listen to Rev Wright for 20 years and have no issues with any of it, until it became a political necessity. I'd rather have a Muslim president than a President whoi is a disciple of something called "black liberation theology".

"A large % still believe that"

I don't know if that's true. But I bet a large % of liberals believe that Bush/Cheney got us into the Iraq war for money,. or oil, or to finish what Bush 41 started, and that Bush "lied", etc...Oh, and that Bush somehow stole the election from Gore. let's not forget that he's a fictional president, and a mental lightweight, all that stuff.

Kooks on both sides. I'd bet everything I have in return for the spare change you have in your pocket, that Bush got more personal attacks
