I believe for it to be a Federal Crime you not only have to threaten but there has to be a motive, for instance you're trying to intimidate someone to vote for your party or cause.

These guys were just spouting a bunch of whack sheeznit at a mostly black polling place anyway. Everybody agrees what they did was wrong, but the Feds didn't think it was a Federal violation. They did however agree that it was a civil offense to bring a weapon to a polling place. I think only one person had a little club.

I agree with you, Fox did beat that story to death.
Ya think?

But worse is that the continued to make assertions they knew were not backed by facts...that's propaganda.

They seem to be going off track like a crazy train. Either that, or it was always like this and I'm just starting to see "the light"
I think it's gotten a lot worse in the last five years. I used to watch Bill-O every freaking night along with other shows. The addition of Beck has made Hannity go even more crazy as he vies for attention.

I actually liked the Hannity radio show, very different from his TV program. Now Beck is setting the tone (i.e. n#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g futz) and everybody else is marching in line because the crack heads are lapping it up.

I am by no means a conservative Fox only viewer. I try to watch em all and make my own opinion
Very difficult to do watching TV. I also look to diverse sources to extract a sensible opinion. It's not easy...

The bottom line...it's easier to say what you're against than actually stand up what you're for.
