Megyn Kelly's anti-intellectualism is astounding.
Edited on Mon Sep-20-10 02:03 PM by LLStarks
Seconds ago on FNC, she mocked a report about the recession ending last June suggesting that we shouldn't believe anything from Cambridge, MA and added a haughty accent to the place name.

1. All 'FAUX NEWS" hosts have an IQ of 70.
They will not hire them unless its 70 or below.

Ad homoinem attacks represent the last vestiages of a FOX New's intellectual stand.

Recession officially ended
The Great Recession ended in June 2009, according to the body charged with dating when recessions begin and end.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, an independent group of economists, released a statement Monday saying economic data now clearly points to the economy turning higher last summer. ................ blah, blah, blah.

2. i guess that leads me to ask an obvious question.....
what exactly is their definition of a recession, because where i am sitting if you take out the gains of the banks and others at the top, there is a double digit unemployment and an increasing number of people falling into poverty. so, what is a recession if it is supposedly over.

4. Technical answer: decline in GDP for 2 consecutive quarters
That is the part that ended in June 2009: GDP started growing again.
Increased unemployment, etc. are fallout from that decline (in other words, collateral damage). That part is not yet fixed, and it will be some time.

3. Too bad they never told us when it started
December 2007. Just think about it. There was no public acknowledgment or recognition of it until the fall of 2008, when the financial sector almost collapsed.
I know this announcement will get a lot of guffaws. But it shouldn't. It means that by June 2009 the downturn ended and growth began. It's a technical term and assessment. And it's true. It's also true that it will take a long time to keep growing to the point where things are better. But to return to where we were during the go-go bubble years under Republican mayhem--well, I hope we don't get back there.
December 2007, the same year the DemonRats took control of congress, yet DUmmies can't add 2+2.

5. . . . and Depression started.
This is absurd - unemployment, poverty and foreclosures continue to climb, and they say the economy has recovered? The economists don't measure the same universe most of the American workers live and work in.
That was after Obumbler was elected.
Hey DUmmies, you attack Megyn Kelly for scoffing, but most of you agree with her. GFY!
-
When did they pass the stimulus and when did unemployment jump to over 9%?
-
I heard this on the news today and started to wonder how long before Obama dislocates his shoulder again from patting himself on the back.

Rush was playing soundbites today from Obamabots who's programing started to go haywire. They were actually questioning The One!
If Obamabots aren't buying it, then who will stand by The One?

Well when Obama swore if only we passed health care then our premiums would go down and we all would get raises, then it passed and premiums went up for virtually everyone. A lot of people suddenly realized that us racist teabaggers weren't wrong only they won't admit that we were right.

Ad homoinem attacks....no DUmmie....it's add hominy to your beans, rice, corn, whatever....when it swells up it'll fill your stomach because we're cutting off the free rides.

We are just one new tax, one new regulation, or one new government bureau away from a socialist utopia.

HA HA!! I know, right?! I agree thundley4.
They mock Megyn Kelly and Fox News, and yet they agree with what was said by her on that very channel. Hey DUmmies, your stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Even fools like you can see that the economics are talking out of their ass about the recession ending in June of 2009.

A DUmmie poll (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9170423) . It seems most of the DUmmies agree with Megyn.

A single cell of Megyn Kelly's brain could beat all these dummies, combined, to a pulp with half its dentrites tied behind its back!

So the worst recession in the history of the world was pretty much healing itself with no help from Obama. Will the Boy-King keep telling us the terrible mess from GW Bush?

Okay, so lemme get this straight--in 2004, the DUmmies and Democrats (but I repeat myself) were claiming the worst economy since the GD, jobless recovery despite unemployment around 5.5 percent, and GDP growth above 4 percent per year. Now we're in a "real" recovery with GDP growing at less than 2 percent per year and unemployment around 10 percent, with the U-6 figure closer to 17-18 percent?
Dear DUmmies--you wanted a jobless recovery in 2004; well, you just had to wait a bit.

I'd love to see polls about NY-20. I think COL Gibson closes hard and wins by 5 points. His Clifton Park office is within walking distance of me.

There was a Siena one showing Murphy up by 17 points and the entire O agenda supported.

Went to the site and out of the 603 polled no breakdown given as to party affiliation.
