Fox Sunday night

[jocko]

thanks WMD, now calm down and drink your kool-aid.. and indeed pile on.

[wyntrout]

wow, Fox has the credibility of what?? Squid **** on the bottom of the ocean.

Jocko, you started the sniping here with that comment. I believe that most people believe Fox News to be credible. If you think otherwise, I would love to hear your opinion or how you arrived at that conclusion, but I think that you've been drinking SOMEBODY's Kool-Aid if you think that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and their various offshoots and the Hollywood bunch aren't biased liberals. You haven't been listening to real polls which put most of those talking heads and so-called reporters (about 90%) way to left of center and most of them say the word "GUN" with unhidden scorn. They are the "Guns Kill People" crowd and if you have allegiance to them, then you must have sipped their Kool-Aid... IMHO. I hope not, though. Did you check out that Pravda link? Not the naughty pictures, but the article by a Russian, I guess. It pretty much summed up our present "progress". And, doesn't that 1934 cartoon look familiar?

At least it doesn't make you sick and lose your lunch... or your rights. And it doesn't cause the "leans", either, as to the left!

wyntrout,you speak my language.

My apologies to all who posted on this thread. My opinion is firm but it definitely ain't the way you boys want it, so like dogs, when they smell blood, they tend to team up and go for it, even if it is one of their own. I have seen it all to many times on other forums, so for ol jocko , u Jim Jones escapee's can indeed hammer away, for this has ceased to be even an intelligent verbage between different opinions.

I wish this forum really well. At my age, some things cease to be fun and helpful...but I realize it is also the internet...

[wyntrout]

Well, Jocko, if that's what you really want... to tuck tail and go back to your comfortable little cave. I'm sure that nobody wants to run you off. We were just surprised that you would keep on feeding the fire. Fox News is right up there with the NRA in most of our opinions. I know that there are people that don't share my views and I don't condemn them for that. They have a right to what ever they want to believe in. We do share some things here and we don't have to get too heated over politics. I don't even want to think about discussing religion. Politics and religion are definitely topics to avoid if you don't want strife and to lose friends.
So please stay around and continue to enrich the forum with your experience and advice. You have added a lot to the forum and I, for one, would miss you.

Well I for one have to say that was an unfortunate thread. i for one don't put much stock in Fox or MSCNBC, or Time or Newsweek, etc. All the media outlets have a target audience and they play to them...the truth be damned.
It would be nice to know what the truth is. Maybe.

[Bawanna]

Stick around

Stick around Jocko, I've thought about pulling the plug numerous times when I run onto some stuff here. I agree we need to leave politics someplace else. I don't trust any media for what that's worth. You used the phrase "at my age". I find myself getting ticked off much easier and faster at my age. Go burn some powder, inhale deeply and tomorrow maybe some of us will look better to you.
I'd miss ya too!

Wow, spew venom then quit when it comes back. Trying to see where your posts showed any sort of "intelligence" you mention. It's a fact that it's LIB democRATS who are after our 2nd Amendment rights, no debate about it. Thank god for fox, cause the Kool-Aid is flowing from the mainstream media, and I'm not drinking it.

hhhmmmm.....


from my experiences "elsewhere", I think it may be time to put a lock on this thread

I had no intention for this thread to go in the direction that it took.Had I suspected anything of the sort,I would have never touched this keyboard.Gentlemen,please remember that we are,first and foremost,gentlemen.

As gun owners we definitely can agree on a few things: popular media outlets that support our second amendment rights could use our support. I get my news from multiple sources and do my best to filter it with bull sh** earmuffs.
Many (myself included) don’t trust the mainstream media; it is biased and has lost its credibility over the years. The definition of “mainstream media” is unclear at best, it is not a term solely used to describe the liberal left. Because of its ratings and popularity, many now consider Fox News mainstream media. As Raoul pointed out, they all have their target audiences.
Is the NRA as pure as the driven snow? Hardly, but I will support them any way I can because they fight for my rights as a gun owner.
I don’t see the pack mentality you expressed, but I do see emotional responses to a topic we all have strong opinions about. I also read some light-hearted comments written to take the edge off the emotional response.
Yes Dietrich, we are gentlemen and it would be unfortunate to lose jocko’s insight and knowledge on this forum.

[Gottabkiddin]

Dang, jocko. How could you not know what news source is more "fair and balanced"? They don't just say that for no good reason. All of the other "news" media programs are run by anti-gun libs who would like to see all Americans disarmed... just they, their buds, their enforcers, and criminals would have guns. You can see the sneers on their faces and contempt for "conservatives" any time they speak about Republicans or "right-wing" conservatives. Look at the ratings for MSNBC and FoxNews. You'll see that viewership for MSNBC has plummeted and FoxNews has soared in public opinion and support... for good reason. Fox isn't filled with smug, elite(in their own minds) libs who sneer at Americans who remember what the U.S. Constitution was based on and just want the government to stay out of their lives and leave them alone. They do keep a couple of libs around to argue with.
One of these days the enlightened ones will come to that "cave" you seem to be hiding in, and take your beloved guns... at least that's one of their goals.
