Shepard Smith Calls Out "Frightening" FOX E-mailers

Xaielao says...

I get the feeling Mr. Smith has been considering leaving FOX. First he went balistic about the torture issue, and now this. Every day he see's the pundits and ideologs on his network get more and more fanatical. He see's the 'leaders' of the party get more and more radical and hard-core. He see's the republican party falling apart from within, with little more than the most hard core and radical conservatives remaining.

I can see it happening already. I really think it would have happened already but for the troubling economy. But I wouldn't be surprised that as the GOP gets more hardcore and his fellow FOX pundits get more and more radical and loose more and more viewers, he'll be 'shopping around' for another job soon.

It has happened before, with pundits and broadcasters leaving FOX news and taking on jobs at CNN.

100 days of "Fair & Balanced"

I loved the 'We have a president who's foreign policy is anti-American.'

HAHAHAHAHA... *takes a breath* HAHAHAHAHA..HAHAHAHAHA!


Faux News ratings have gone up the same way as Apple Computers has. From 2% of the US market to 8%. That is by no means a huge number, but it is a big leap.

What is really gonna be funny is how these guys act when Obama actually fixes all the problems that Bush started, which he is doing and is already beginning to happen. Foot-in-Mouth time I guess. Though they will NEVER admit it, but they will realize that after such successes their chances in 2012 are even more dismal, especially if they keep acting like sensationalist whores.

Edit: And what is with that Judge calling him Stalin without the bloodshed? Anyone remember how balistic these guys went when ANYONE compared Bush to Stalin/Hitler/etc? And Hanity telling Obama to stop the doom and the gloom. What a fucking hypocrite.

Too many men in the siftlounge today

US Missile Deal Enrages Russia (Part 2)

GeeSussFreeK says...

Life is chess not checkers. Missiles are in fact a bad thing to hit you. If anything, a missile shield is exactly the kind of passive stuff we should do more of instead of invading places. I am all for defencive implacements. It is always best to have a shield and not need it than the other way around.

The fact is, Iran is developing medium ranged ship based missile technology. So that missile shield better span the globe if it is to be effective. I would actually think more people would be down with this kind of passive protection? Is this more to do with you dislike of this administration than any logical grounds to not want to have missile defence abilities at our disposal? Cause im not fan of this administration either, but I can see a strong defence being a good thing more than a bad thing.

Russia getting mad about seems like they are still stuck in a cold war kind of mode of resisting any attempt the US makes to make itself a little safer from threats, no matter how hypathatical they are. I don't think we shouldn't consider them because russia isn't comforatble with it. One thing we can't alow to happen in the big world cooperation is to undermind our own security to oblige someone else. Above all, the government should look to our defence more than cooperating with the world at large.

Anyone that has dealings in millitary intelegence would of told you that pre-war iraq had MWDs. Even the people that are against the war now were very very for having the weapons inspectors get at the weapons that we KNEW they had...hell, we still had some on file what we gave Sadam when we financed him.

Intelegence isn't fool proof, and more over, its a big ass desert out there to hide things in. If anyone remembers, Iraq had about a dozen and a half migs in the first gulf war. Iraq flew them out ASAP to iran who wasn't anally (Iraq and Iran are bitty enimies) and iran happily took them for their own. The same was most likely done with anything Iraq did have, and we did end up finding lots of gas that he was using on the curds after the media had already come to the conclution that there were absoulutly no WMDs found, even though we did find them, just not the nuclear and biological ones we thought were there. Most likely, he never had them, but we will never really know, the point is he didn't submit to UN weapons inspections like he should of. And the US decided (imo in error) to enforce UN laws without UN concent (bad idea).

Anway, this is off topic. Word is Iran may indeed have medium ranged balistic missile tech from a energy deal with China. This isn't in any means ironclad as intel never is, but it looks to be true.

I always try and stress, don't like administrations blow your consideration of the big picture. The world is a messed up place with messed up people that want to do messed up things for their own messed up agendas...and sometimes, they get a hold of power and weapons which is a bad thing. Don't let hate of one person cloud your minds of the things that still should happen for our best interest.

btw, a Medium-range ballistic missile is right around 1km to 3km in range. An intercontinental ballistic missile is anything north of 5.5km. Iran is belived to have more of medium and Intermediate-ranged missiles. None able to hit US via a ground lauch. But well able to hit via a sea launch which doesn't require to much adaptation.

Zelzal-3,Shahab-3D range 1,000-1,350-1,500 1999
IRSL-X-2 range 2,200-2,672
IRIS 2,3 range 3,500-3,750(2 stage, farily advanced missile)

(all ranges in KMs)

AK-47 vs M-16

kulpims says...

seems we all agree the guy in the video was a lousy shot
there's one more thing though - i imagine it's hard switching from 5.56 mm to 7.62 mm caliber weapon and still be as effective because of the totaly different balistic trajectory of the rounds. at this distance with an AK you'd have to aim quite low because the amplitude of the balistic trajectory is higher - the 7.62 bullet is heavier, bigger and goes in an arch, while the 5.56 slug from a M16 goes more in a straight line. that was also one of the reasons AK outperformed M16 in a jungle environment such as in vietnam - the lighter 5.56 bullet is more likely to be deflected from its intended path by dense vegetation while leaves and even small branches won't make the AK slug deviate so much as it has more kinetic energy
