Thanks, G, and good point. Of course, those of us that are intelligent and sane have realized a longRead More time ago that Fox lies. Clearly lies. And distorts, and name calls, and spins spins spins. Newsmax is no better. But, the lying should not be allowed because there are some many in society that are gullible or just plain dumb - or both - so they actually believe these things to be true - not because they are true but because they WANT THEM to be true. It gives them self-justification for their hatred.

Rick - MAC gets his "news" and forms his "opinions" from Fox News, RushRead More Limbaugh, Newsmax, et al. His "opinions" are just a regurgitation of their opinions. Fox News has readily admitted in court that they lie, so they are not a real "news" organization - apparently they have the first amendment right to lie while posing as a news organization ... http://www.librarygrape.com/2009/06/court-fox-news-has-first-amendment.html#.UaFlKdi1vkc

Mac, Newsmax is not a valid source for news stories. It is an opinion web site, biased very stronglyRead More in one direction: conservatism. As for the facts, you have none. Just conjecture. There is no evidence that Obama knew anything about the Benghazi incident before it happened, there is no statement or evidence that Obama condones or even knew about the IRS tactics - and to call them "thugish" is just plain name calling. It was questioning and investigating - as they can and should do, just with a SLIGHT bias towards Tea Party groups (70 out of hundreds). So get your facts straight, stop the name calling and get over the presidential hatred. I'd like to hear your opinion about lying about weapons of mass destruction to get us into an illegal war in Iraq, or even your opinion of the Iran-Contra scandal - unless of course you believe it is only Democrats that are worthy of criticism.
