She's about as liberal as Colin Powell is conservative, probably even less so.

Not something relatively new, but despicable nonetheless.

She was more liberal a few years ago, along with Juan Williams. I guess they got tired of having their asses kicked in arguments and have been slowly shifting. They are still liberal on issues, but give them credit for being smart enough to realize some of their beliefs were flawed.

She will be ridiculed, criticized, and marginalized.
She will become a symbol of what to expect if you speak out against the MSM.
As a side note: I was watching the Weather Channel this morning, and they cut over to MSNBC for a few news comments. I've heard pro-Obama comments made on air before, but never to attempt to sway viewers to use MSNBC.

Powers and Williams are weak liberals who are easily swayed by their peers. FOX had a strong liberal with Marc Lamont Hill, but he got fired for being too liberal. Similarly, I think MSNBC did the viewers a disservice when they fired Pat Buchanan for being to conservative. MSNBC needs a few fire-breathing conservaitves like Buchanan, and similarly, I think FOX needs some fire-breathing liberals like James Carville, not the milquetoast variety like Powers and Williams who will go along to get along.

No. They aren't. They are old-school liberals in the classic sense of the term. They aren't the fascist-progressives in the mold of Barak Obama.

No. He got fired for making racist statements.

Hackfan is ok with racism, as long as it's someone that is too liberal (aka fascist)...
The POTUS has single-handedly done the most to marginalized blacks in America since roe-v-wade, and he touts his greatness on the reg

Damn, that was to the point. Well done, and exposes the lack of freedom and liberty in those who really when you get down to it, are the enemies of freedom and liberty in this country, those who would rather a state run media than one that even questions are doesn't fall in line with the programming.

Marc's problem was that he kept interrupting O'Reilly. The host can interrupt you but you cannot interrupt the host.
The most interrupting person on TV is Chris Matthews. He has trouble getting conservative guests because they know that they will not be allowed to speak.

Well written article that presents embarrassing facts that basically documents the liberal MSM being in the tank for Obama and their hate of Fox News. God forbid these people have absolute power and it would seem that is exactly what they want.

Those guys are punching bags for the conservative at FOX. They're the political equivalent of the Washington Generals.

That's a lie. He was fired for his views on a murder trial which didn't fit the FOX News narrative. No one accused him of making any racist statements.
