The majority of millionaires have too much class to stoop to such neanderthal type tactics.

For a period of time. He was not ever raised in Kenya though. And stating that he was "raised" in Indonesia rather than saying "he spent a few years of his childhood in Indonesia" to incense the birther wing nuts may not be a pants on fire lie, but it's typical Fox. They find a grain of sand in Obama's hair and suddenly he's been running a group of Kenyan militants through an amphibious war training before they are let loose to take our guns.

Let's see, what are a child's most formative years? He spent those in Indonesia... as for Kenya, do you really think Obama's book publisist made up that bio for Obama, "Born in Kenya", at the very least Obama lied to them to make himself more 'exotic'... he's an accomplished lier so that makes perfect sense.

Two days.

For instance, she said on Letterman the Fox trumped up the Black Panthers story that gave Obama the election.

Politifact wasn't ever able to find someone on Fox who had said that specifically, but there was a ton of coverage over the trivial story and it's clear she was being a little cute to get a laugh from Letterman's audience.

There was also her inaccuracy that Bush didn't give NYT an interview which he apparently did and her crew apparently didn't catch before she made the statement. I'm positive that if she knew that she made a correction the following night as she's prone to do when she finds that she's made an error.

The extent of Maddow's inaccuracies over years of broadcasting doesn't merit comparison with a typical morning on Fox and Friends.

That's fine, you get your news from Maddow, I'll get it from Fox. I'd say 30 minutes of Maddow would convince most people she's out of her mind.

Two days, and this is all he'll get to do... can't wait for his parting pardons and misc. mischeif. Better inventory the furniture.

You just think in terms of a thugs, he doesn't.

There used to be a guy on the radio who taught people good use of their finances (similar to Dave Ramsey without the political bent). His closing line (that I personally love) was "The best revenge is living well." Obama seemed to be altering it slightly to "The best revenge is voting well."

Except that you can never explain why. Simply stomping your feet and calling names is sufficient for you.

As I've told you before, I think she's been punked a few times by her Republican guests and I disagree with her on several things, but her integrity is not in question. Fox is little more than a comic's source of easy jokes at the expense of the simple minded.
