Quote from bigdavediode:
Except there were white people showing up at Democratic rallies with guns. In fact in that particular rally there were several protesters walking around with guns, and the press focused on only the black person. Which kind of says a lot about bias right there.
But back to the topic of Fox, here's a montage/puzzle page of just a few of Fox's lies, outright bias and manipulations. Can you find each lie?

Quote from Mnphats:
Distortion?
As if this teleprompter reading fool would pay down the debt with the extra money. As evident by his record spending deficits.
The deficit began skyrocketing before Obama ever took office. In January, the CBO projected the 2009 deficit would balloon to $1.2 trillion. A worsening economy, the burden of the economic stimulus package, and projected spending in Obama's budget led the CBO in late March to revise its 2009 deficit projection to $1.8 trillion. So Obama can't claim that he inherited the entire deficit. But suffice to say the huge jump in the 2009 deficit is not a result of Obama's proposed budget.
According to projections in the Obama administration's proposed budget , released at the end of February, the yearly deficit would go from $1.75 trillion in 2009 to $533 billion in 2013 and $570 billion in 2014. So obviously, by the administration's estimation, the deficit would be cut well more than half whether you measure it until the end of Obama's first term (four years), or five years out.
The Congressional Budget Office projections â released a month later â were not as optimistic. The CBO, a nonpartisan arm of Congress, projected the 2009 deficit at $1.8 trillion, and forecast it would taper down to $672 billion in 2013, then to $749 billion in 2014. Still, even those numbers support Obama's assertion that he'd halve the deficit.

Blame Bush, and yes in this case absolutely. When will 0bomba be to blame for his deficits? Projections are BS, they are just projections.
Quote from hermit:
And what about the budget busting Medicare bill that is going to cost billions every year?
And what about this impeding disaster with 0bomba care?
We can do this all day, but sooner or later won't you realize there is no difference between left spenders and right spenders?

What do you mean disaster, the HCR bill is paid for with taxes and doesn't add to the deficit unlike Bush's Medicare bill.
