Patriotism Questioned !!!
 As eloquently stated by another DU member: "I question the patriotism of anyone who willfully and intentionally misrepresents facts in an effort to perpetrate propaganda on the American people - especially when that intention has nothing to do with presenting ideas for the American people to consider to make intelligent decisions."

This is an idea whose time has come - to challenge the patriotism of Fox News and other right wing shills who spew vicious lies to a gullible public.

Thank you Kevin.
 

And the first poster smacks him with a DUmmy meme from President Bush's term.  :-)

 We're not that far removed from "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" to take this Orwellian turn quite yet, are we?

More proof that the DUchebags would have been Hitler's staunchest supporters.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Just once I want them to list all these lies! Just once! Where's our token lib? How about debating something with substance?

First question........have you even bothered to listen to any of these Right Wing Liars?

Dissent went from Patriotic to Un-American the day Obie Won was sworn into office.

I know.  WHAT lies?  List them out for us!  Beck plays a video of Van Jones making a speech, say.  It's right there on the video!  What's untrue?

That's when the frauds, bullshit artists and DUmmies start screaming about how the "victim du jour" was taken out of context.  They did that even when Beck illustrated Rev. Wright's screaming racism and America hating by playing not just the nasty comment(s) which had been parades across the (lying, of course) Faux News, but the ENTIRE SERMON in who's context they were taken from.

well, i'm not our token lib, but i do speak dummy so maybe i can help you understand their concept of "lies."

simply put, anything a dummy thinks is the "truth," therefore any other way of thinking is a "lie."

e.g.

[dummy]
"illegal immigration/open borders is a good thing" = TRUTH
"illegal immigration/open borders is a bad thing" = LIE
[/dummy]


i hope you found this helpful...
