		<description>Michelle, you rock! 

As an evening news anchor, she&#039;d run rings around any of the anchors on the big three broadcast networks. 

Of course, as she&#039;s not a worshipper at the Church of the Lefty True Believers, the chances of her being offered such a slot are as likely as the Democrat leaders in Congress putting Country before Party.  Ain&#039;t gonna happen.</description>

		<description>Our Michelle is doing pretty good subbing on The Factor these days.  And the way they light her and frame her face with that black, black hair - does she or does she not look totally hot?

I say yes.

And, um, she says really good conservative stuff, too.</description>

		<description>To all who gave comment to my reverse racism comment, Thank You. I have never been the sharpest knife in the drawer and never will.  I am smart enough to consider other views.  Some of you have made valid points that have opened my eyes.  Some just sounded like a ½ wit and made no ¢s at all.</description>

		<description>For the record, I for one would probably watch &quot;The Factor&quot; a lot more often if they&#039;d boot O&#039;Reilly and keep Ms. Malkin.

I may agree with O&#039;Reilly sometimes, but I don&#039;t think he&#039;s particularly smart or well-informed, and he&#039;s definitely grating on the ears.

Michelle is roughly a thousand times smarter on the issues. A far better debater than Bill O. Not to mention both easier on the eyes and the ears.

Make O&#039;Reilly the guest host. Or an &quot;analyst.&quot; Give Michelle the job.</description>

		<description>Howie Carr made a couple of insightful obsevations in his column today regarding McCain and the illegal immigration law being currently debated.

&lt;blockquote&gt; Do you realize, McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts in 2003, but now his illegal-alien bill doesn’t require them to pay a dime in income taxes? 
 
    So McCain finds himself in the position of having voted against tax cuts for citizens, but endorsing the payment of no taxes by criminals who don’t even belong in this country.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And;

&lt;blockquote&gt;    On Monday, a legal alien from Canada called with a good question. He had spent thousands of dollars to jump through all the legal hoops, but now he wants a free ride. He wants a Z visa. 

 
    “Can I get one?” he asked. 
 
    Sorry, I told him. No law-abiding legals - or American citizens - need apply. The Z visa - don’t leave Mexico without it. But they’re only for illegal aliens. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>It&#039;d sure be great if Michelle could have her own show on FNC (she and Kirsten replacing Hannity &amp; Colmes would get my vote), but I&#039;d be surprised if it ever happens.  Not that FNC wouldn&#039;t be interested, but rather that Michelle wouldn&#039;t be.

The main drawback if Michelle went full-time on Fox would be the loss of independence.  She&#039;d be just another FNC employee.  Right now, Michelle has the best of both worlds as an independent writer, blogger and commentator with increasingly frequent access to a national cable television audience.

Hard to see her giving that up, no matter how much some of us wish she would.</description>

		<description>Thank you, Michelle.

I&#039;m stuck on the left coast, not used to the programming times, and happened to click on &quot;The Factor&quot; last night, unaware you were hosting.

I was incredibly pleased to hear the Newsome/Christian abomination being covered ... and then chuckled when I saw it was you doing the covering. You definitely don&#039;t disappoint.

Sincerely, thank you. It&#039;s the very first time I&#039;ve seen it mentioned on FoxNews, or any national media outlet. Your guest was a dyed-in-the-wool idiot of Homeric proportions, but at least the story was covered - at least people are hearing it - and at least the families know somebody cares.

Not enough, but its a start. Thank you.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I would remove Greta.

Ropera on May 23, 2007 at 1:28 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I like it.  Greta sucks, and O&#039;Reilly is not going anywhere; he has the highest rated show in cable news, are these people delusional?

You could easily dump Great, though, or Shep (Dem weenie), or MM could jump to the Communist News Network, where Glenn Beck is taking &quot;an unconventional look at the news of the day&quot; by slapping around the silly liberals at CNN.  He could use some help, and between Beck, MM, and Lou &quot;the Natavist&quot; Dobbs, we could have DU denouncing CNN as a branch of the RNC pretty quickly.

Heh.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I think O’Reilly has flipped out. What the hell is somebody putting in his water? How can he rant and rave so much and so long about the invasion from the south...&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

O&#039;Reilly is a K2O drinker. (K for Koolaid )I thought for sure that Hot Air would do a &lt;em&gt;compare and contrast&lt;/em&gt; of O&#039;Reilly&#039;s tirade with Geraldo, and his &quot;I give up&quot; Talking Points Memo from last week. After watching the tirade, and then hearing, via the Michael Savage show, that he&#039;d caved  and joined with the traitors, I decided to never watch the guy again. I&#039;ve voted &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; out the same way I&#039;ll be voting out my Senators and Congressmen if they vote in favor this Amnesty Bill.

Pack up your vibrators, O&#039;Reilly. You&#039;re through.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Screw that, Wade. 

Kick Greta out of the 10:00 prime time slot. Let her have Shep’s 7:00 time so her and Nancy Grace can have time to drink a beer and talk about whether OJ has new evidence.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;Screw that? Is this how you disagree with someone? Sounds like you are looking for a fight not a discussion.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Blacks make up only 12.12% of the population, yet (going on those assumptions) they would be responsible for 21% of hate crimes. Whites make up 74.67% of the population, yet (again, based on those assumptions) they are only responsible for 67% of the hate crimes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Exactly rightWinged. 

Not only that but considering the reluctance to classify black on white crime as hate motivated and the propensity to classify white on black crime as such, the statistics are almost whithout a doubt considerably skewed in favour of the &#039;whites are racists&#039; agenda.</description>

		<description>By using the term &quot;reverse racism&quot; it infers that racism is only possible coming from whites. Actually the term racism is wrong by definition, the correct term is bigotry. The definition of racism is an inherent belief that one race is genetically superior to another. Anyways... using the term &quot;reverse racism&quot; infers that only whites are capable of racism, that is such a crock of s#$t.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to respectfully disagree with the comments above on the use of the term &lt;em&gt;reverse racism&lt;/em&gt; and stick up for Michelle on her use of it.  I definitely agree with the sentiment that racism is racism, but the problem is that the people who need to understand that the most don&#039;t.  Furthermore, they&#039;re probably so brainwashed by this point that they won&#039;t if only the word &lt;em&gt;racism&lt;/em&gt; is used.  The complicit media have helped that problem to be even mainstreamed by using the word in only one direction, ie. white on somebody else, default black but now hispanic, too.

By that statement, I&#039;m meaning that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world have gathered a following and have taught them effectively.  I&#039;m not saying that we&#039;ll ever reach Sharpton and Jackson, but I do hold out some hope that maybe some of their followers can see the light.  Michelle&#039;s exposing some of these people for what they are is a needed step in the right direction.

Racism is racism, and I think calling it &lt;em&gt;reverse racism&lt;/em&gt; actually makes it clearer that such beliefs and treatments are being held and pursued by those who are &lt;strong&gt;themselves&lt;/strong&gt; crying racism.  It&#039;s no accident that some of the people crying it the loudest are the ones who are the most guilty of it themselves.  We should treat them like the people treated the boy who cried wolf.

Just to be equal opportunity here, I have picked on Sharpton and Jackson because they&#039;re the most obvious examples to me.  I have the same amount of love lost (none) for groups like the KKK for whites, La Raza for hispanics, or any other supremist group.</description>

		<description>Oh, and I find it funny that I did you the courtesy of thoroughly responding to ever bit of idiocy in your posts, yet you say my &quot;only recourse&quot; is name calling.

(quick, this is where you completely ignore all refutation to your &quot;points&quot; all the way through, act like your &quot;points&quot; haven&#039;t been completely shattered as the ridiculous diversions and strawman arguments they are... and throw out a few more...    All anyone needs to do to see this is what you&#039;re about is to read this thread, and I suggest people do.  Watch where Bradky enters folks, and watch his diversions and strawmen... And after you see they destroyed, watch him act as if nothing happened and throw out a bunch more)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Paid by the left? LOL heavens no.
Make messes of threads? Because I have a different opinion or viewpoint? I didn’t realize the terms of service required all posters to be slavishly in agreement with EVERYTHING the mods write about.

LOL name calling is your only recourse. Digesting facts certainly isn’t.

The problem is, you aren&#039;t disagreeing Bradky... You&#039;re arguing against no one and making up what you think other people say, either because you have a complete lack of reading comprehension, you&#039;re dishonest, retarded, or sick.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Honestly Bradky, I have to ask. Are you paid by the left to makes these threads the messes you always do? Or are you just a disturbed individual? Is it possible, and I’m being completely serious here, that you’re retarded? Other than that I can only assume you’re on some type of drugs, legal or otherwise, I’m not sure… But something is clearly wrong. And I’m not just trying to personally attack you here,&lt;/blockquote&gt;
