every reason the Fox talking points are totally wrong that I am bookmarking it to refer back to later!

I love how as soon as you start presenting the real - and actually pertinent - facts, B suddenly decides the two of you can "agree to disagree"! The problem I see is that they are presented by Fox with this whole set of "facts" that are nothing to do with what's actually going on. The ones that aren't flat-out lies have nothing to do with anything. A dear friend of mine is always trying to engage me in "dialogue" - He thows at me the BS that he gets from Fox and from RW talk radio, things that even if true are of no consequence to how this country is run. When he claims President Obama spends X amount on pedicures, I have no idea if it's true, and it doesn't matter if it's true, because it's meaningless. They just can't discuss actual facts and issues because, of course, if they do, they'll lose.
