Dick Cheney is just another "successful old white guy", you know, the kind you love to hate!

I assume you prefer the double talk of the lost in la la land community organizer great divider.

I did not make them up.

Those are my words and I stand by them, spin it how ever you want.

And such a heavy burden to carry around. I prefer the word "dislike" better. "Irritated" or "annoyed" might even be more correct.

And you do take the liberty of labeling all the "old white" guys" that I hang around with as being "poor white trash"?

You may think of them as "poor white trash" but those are your thoughts and your words, not mine.

Who on this forum is laughing about Argentina?

I apologize, my mistake/. I took the snorts for laughter.

And not laughing about Argentina so much.

Why worry about foreign threats, when you are self destructing at home. And not laughing about Argentina so much.

JW runs Shadowstats which is a site that keeps the economic numbers using the pre bastardized changes that started with the Kennedy administration. The entire interview is well worth listening too, but for the unemployment information start about the 11 minute point.

[The Truth]

American Society of News Editors: "Left wing media and politicians cooperate regularly to deceive Americans."

In a recent speech before the American Society of News Editors, it's president David Boardman candidly discussed his profession's "overt" left wing bias. "It's time for us to acknowledge that those of us in the media do have a liberal bias, and this bias has been good for America."

Boardman further stated "The fact is that this country would never have elected it's first black president without the help of the liberal media, and I say it's time for journalists to be proud of their liberal agenda and to be equally proud of their influence in shaping the positive direction of this country."

I looked at these 3 links for amusement. While there's no mention of Jay Carney, they do discuss what became another right-wing conspiracy theory around the jobs numbers just before the 2012 election.

The genesis and development of it is very interesting. It started with an article in the New York Post, a right wing trash tabloid that specializes in Obama and Democrat hit-pieces, owned by the same owner as Fox News. They publish an article quoting an anonymous source who says that some data going into the jobs report is fake. We have no idea who this source is, and no explanation how some fake data (if true) doesn't get caught but has a major impact on a jobs report. NYP publishes it under the title "Census 'faked' 2012 election jobs report".

Then a Libertarian writer (Peter Ferrara) at a right wing financial site (Forbes) quotes the NYP article, presenting it as "evidence". Mr. Ferrara, BTW, was at the time selling a book called "Obama and the Crash of 2013". LOL. And Fox News is right there regurgitating the story as fact as well. All based on some anonymous source.

While "The Truth"'s post is creative fiction, it is a real fact that right wing media and politicians cooperate regularly to deceive Americans.

In a stunning interview today on the Daily Kos website, Former Press Secretary Jay Carney admits that the Department of Labor was instructed by White House "officials" to "massage" the unemployment numbers before 2012 election, this resulting in the magical drop of the official unemployment figures from 8.3% to 7.8%, putting the number in the coveted 7% zone.

Carney went on to state "In hindsight, I can't believe we weren't challenged on what was an unbelievable drop in the unemployment number, but the news media simply accepted the new number without question. With the help of the media, we would have never gotten away with this. Even now, the media continues to ignore the story. Can you imagine how they'd howl if a Republican President had done the same thing?"

When questioned further by aggressive Daily Kos interviewers, Carney said "Fortunately, The President did not have any direct involvement in the situation, and in fact the President only learned about the manipulation of the unemployment numbers when it was belatedly reported on the TV news."
