Fox going after Huffington Post. ...in addition to Kos and others.
Via Daily Kos's thereisnospoon:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/7/28/1627/96049

"If you're not watching Fox & Friends right now, you're not going to be believe this: Sean Hannity is doing his best to channel the recent insane ramblings of Bill O'Reilly--but this time about the Huffington Post. Not content to beat its stick on the hornet's nest that is DailyKos, Fox apparently believes it's an intelligent move to rouse the entire progressive netroots into a virtual storm of frenzy by attempting to discredit every last one of our popular hangouts. Apparently, the recent loss of Lowe's as an advertiser hasn't scared them off: it seems they want to start up broader war on the blogs in order, I suppose, to drive away more of their advertisers. You would think that the same people who started an attack on Iraq after failing to finish the job in Afghanistan would know better by now--but then, intelligence and learning from one's mistakes was never a wingnut forte.

thereisnospoon's diary :: ::
And the tactics they're using on HuffPo? The same patently laughable ones they're using on DailyKos."

2. No way .....
Edited on Sat Jul-28-07 04:11 PM by Trajan
From what I understand: The fine people at FAUX simply adore us Liberals, and rush to every chance to hug us, metaphorically ....

:sarcasm:

This ranks up there with 'Dog Bites Man' ....

4. This is all conservatives have left.
They now have to make up red herrings to attack us with.
Just more evidence that they are failures. They have been rejected by the public.

5. Why Huffington goes on Fox and Friends to get beaten up
is a huge mystery to me. I could only watch about thirty seconds before flipping the channel.

Hopefully the money's good. Otherwise, what's the benefit.

15. The benefit is that more people go to Huffpo and have a look.
Some take time to read (those that can).
Huffpo is a good portal.

17. Just what they need, more trolls from fauxnews
No one from the regular fauxnews audience has an open mind. If they go to Huffpo, they go to have fun poking the dumb dems.

13. Fox Noise is replete with stupid RWing Assholes.
Their attacks upon Daily KOS, HuffPost and DU are actually increasing the popularity of these places. It's free adverts. We should send them thank you notes.

10. Did You Read O'Reilly's Latest ??? - It's Literally, Hysterical !!!
The Far Left Counterattack 'The Factor'
Friday , July 27, 2007

By Bill O'Reilly

<snip>

As you may know, we've exposed the far-left Daily Kos web site as being a hate enterprise and have questioned why the Democratic presidential candidates are speaking at its convention, thereby putting a stamp of approval on hate.

JetBlue figured it out quick after we questioned their sponsorship of the convention and they pulled their name out of it but the pols still intend to show up. Predictably there's been some blow back from the far left. Elements at NBC News and Stephen Colbert had pro-Kos comments. No surprise and the usual Kool-Aid columnists are all in a twitter.

Then there was this from Ann Barzler who lives in Marshall, Michigan. "Bill, I was disgusted and offended that you would show that vile pseudo-photo of President Bush with an animal. You've lost a viewer." Well, I'm sorry about that madam, but sometimes I have to show awful stuff like that Kos picture to get things done. By the way, an even worse picture displayed on the Kos Web site will be shown here on Monday evening.

Now at this point, it should be obvious to every American the far left is out of control and doing damage to the nation. If I have to shock you to get that across, I will. And on Monday you'll be shocked.

Now remember, the next president of the United States may be speaking before a group that allows and encourages the lowest form of discourse, threats, defamation, rank hatred. Never before in our country's history has this happened and the reason it is happening is because much of the media sympathizes with the far left and legitimizes its extreme hatred.

"Talking Points" would like to repeat, if a very public presidential candidate spoke before a far right hate group, that candidate would be fried by the media. But not a negative word about the Kos situation from the press. Figure it out.

11. If you don't want to watch Fox, just check the contact advertisers box.
that's what I did. I get sick watching any of them now.

12. First they ignore you
Edited on Sat Jul-28-07 04:27 PM by annabanana
2) then they ridicule you,
3)then they fight you,

4)then you win. !!

We are getting closer and closer, it seems.
They can't win this, because every single pair of curious eyes they turn our way gets to decide for themselves. Every time they set it up that way, the obvious difference will show more and more people how badly they've been lied to.

16. Look at it this way only 25% of the people in this country
approve of bush --- and by attachment - Fox News, it seems to me they should shut up about other websites.
