Fox's Uma Pemmaraju asks Rep. Steve King if he's considering throwing his name in the hat for the Republican 2012 presidential primary race. Even he looked shocked after Pemmaraju told him his name was being "tossed around there" as a potential candidate. Tossed around by whom?

I guess since in our media, if you're a Republican, there's no such thing as being punished for making one bats**t crazy racist statement after the other; even if they've been recorded and put out there in the public domain for all the world to see; so why the hell shouldn't King be considered presidential material? If Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich are considered serious presidential candidates, add this wingnut to the list as well, although he doesn't appear to be interested. Maybe we can get Michele Bachmann to run as well. Give the public a full dose of the crazy when they watch those primary debates.

Foxnews: Idiots talking to other idiots.

At Fox, you're rewarded for being incorrigible.

Now here is the proof...

Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid
http://www.alternet.org/media/149193/study_co...

Yet another study has been released proving that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.

..
In eight of the nine questions below, Fox News placed first in the percentage of those who were misinformed (they placed second in the question on TARP). That’s a pretty high batting average for journalistic fraud. Here is a list of what Fox News viewers believe that just aint so:

•91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
•72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
•72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
•60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
•49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
•63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
•56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
•38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
•63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

The conclusion is inescapable. Fox News is deliberately misinforming its viewers and it is doing so for a reason. Every issue above is one in which the Republican Party had a vested interest. The GOP benefited from the ignorance that Fox News helped to proliferate. The results were apparent in the election last month as voters based their decisions on demonstrably false information fed to them by Fox News.

Only one Republican moron from each region of the country and Mike Pence has already been annointed as moron from the Midwest. Out of respect, King should defer to Pence as Pence is more of a household moron than King. As a hoosier I believe our politicians lack of mental acuity takes a back seat to no one.

...with gem quality morons. The more morons the better. I'm begging this clown to run like cheap makeup in a rainstorm.

Go Speed Racist, go.


Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

for ANYTHING, including making statements that make you sound bat sh!t crazy.

Peter King is right. We liberals were arrogant, elitists and spiteful for holding unemployment insurance hostage unless the rich got tax breaks.


Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

Chas. Krauthammer wrote about his fear of Obama winning re-election....

His main theme is the bat-shit crazy Bachman or Palin who would ruin a good thing (Mitt Romney).

Yes, ol' Mitt... good hair, lots of money, decent command of rhetoric, and all green lights for war with Iran.

I dunno. Mitt *is* all those things but he's also got his own money, and is not necessarily beholden to the WASP Mafia that calls the shots in the Republican party. That might make him a little too unpredictable for the PTBs. That's Second Place Sarah's problem too.

My money is on some lamb thrown to slaughter in '12, like McCain/Doofus in '08. Much as I dislike the turncoat Obama, he *will* be hard to beat. Then it's Jeb in '16, should we live that long...

Repubs have been so obsessed with destroying Obama's presidency that they haven't come to grips with who they can realistically put against Obama who isn't another Bob Dole. Mitt's grooming is just immaculate I must say. It seems all the Dems need to do is point out that Mitt's was responsible for Romneycare to ruin his chances. In the last primary it was pointed out that a lot of Republicans just hate him, maybe because he is relatively articulate. Who else they got - Jindall (Bobby who?), Palin (braindead quitter), Hucky (praise the Lord).

A recent ABC/Wash Post poll found that 59% of people will not vote for Palin under any circumstances. Also "nearly three in ten Republicans and four in ten conservatives, and four in ten evangelical white Protestants say they wouldn't consider Palin for president." Proves you can't hide that amount of stupidity under a Fox News basket.

The bookie who mooted King as a presidential candidate was English and actually referred to him as a "tosser". Pemmaraju seems to have assumed that meant his name was tossed about as a presidential candidate.

He was actually referring to his tendency to vomit.

Tossed around by whom?

By Fox News, of course, since THEY are in charge of the 2012 Republican Nominating Convention.


When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?

Not soon enough!

Hulk's picture

What an idiot. He grins like he is just overwhelmed with how desperate the repukkke/neocon party is to even think of the likes of his stupid asss as a contender.

God....this party has sunk so low. It's like a circus of buffoons. We only need see beck, bore, vannity and limpballs as contenders...and then we'll give up and start plans to float to Cuba to escape this lunacy.

What about Louis Gohmert of Texass?

There....I "tossed his name around."

Swing and a miss, Uma. Good effort though.


Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

As was done in Germany in '45, Iraq in '03, perhaps the US should consider detoxing itself by de-republicanizing the nation. The intellectual and sociological depravity promulgated by the scum that fancies itself a party of the people( as opposed to wealth and power ) has polluted every facet of American life and it's institutions with the exception of fanatical christian fundamentalism which speaks fact to Hitchens' writings!

What can I say to further disparage these mean spirited toads; not much. And, who cares anyway? If it wasn't for progressives I'd never know what those dumbbells were saying.
