So now they've changed it from "stumbled" to "fell." How about you change it one last time to "was pushed" and actually get the facts right?

He was clearly pushed. I guess we should know by now what to expect from an AP reporter.

And the Democrats will still spew their lies of "the Republicans have no plans." On every issue, the Republicans propose alternatives that cost less and do more, yet the Democrats (and their fawning media) repeat the refrain that the Republicans are just saying no and not proposing any viable alternatives. When will SOMEONE in the media call out Democrats who say this?

Funny that Hoyer slams the Republican bill for not covering all Americans when the Democrats' bill leaves 18 million people uninsured.

Clueless Chavez doesn't realize that the shortage is a result of his socialist policies, not what little capitalism remains. So he'll take his country even further to the left. I feel sorry for the Venezuelans.

Still can't understand it? Let me spell it out to you.

1. If you're an entertainer, you want people to like you so they will see your movies and buy your records.
2. If you have a strong political opinion, then you're probably best if you express it in the most inclusive way possible.
3. If you have a strong political opinion and insult those who disagree with you, you are cutting off potential sales.

My comment about Sting is not about political disagreement. You have the right to disagree with anybody and call them stupid for having poorly thought-out views. My comment about Sting is about ENTERTAINERS!

Here's an apolitical argument that maybe you can get through your head.

Suppose Sting wants the Yankees to win the World Series. He could come out and say that he's always been a Yankees fan and hopes they win. Or he could take it a step further and say that Philly sucks and he hopes they go down in flames because everyone from Philly is an idiot. That would be stupid. That's basically what he's done here when he denigrated the people who did not vote for Obama and who oppose his government takeover of our entire economy.

It is just as stupid for people like Ted Nugent, also entertainers, to come out and speak ill of people who disagree with them. I was criticizing Sting from a marketing standpoint, not a political one. If you still can't understand the difference, again, I'm not sure what I can tell you. I can't walk you through it any slower.

A hypocrite is someone who tells people to do one thing and does another. It would be hypocritical of me IF I WERE AN ENTERTAINER to tell Sting not to denigrate people who disagree with his political beliefs, and then go on stage and do the exact same thing I told him not to do. Therein lies the difference.

He’s an entertainer who is alienating half of his audience in the US. I’m not an entertainer. If you can’t see the difference, I don’t know what to tell you.

Great, another singer I won't be able to listen to. It amazes me how stupid these entertainers are. It's one thing to come forth and say you support Obama. It's another thing to denigrate anyone who disagrees with you -- you're just alienating half of the country, who will no longer see your movies or buy your music. Great job, Sting, you ignoramus.

Excellent point by "cardiac": hate crime legislation, which our President supports 100%, is exactly legislating what is in someone's heart. If it were a bunch of white kids who beat to death that poor child, you can bet Obama would have said something about this earlier. Everything apparently has to be political and racial in today's "post-racial" Obamerica. It's sad.

That's a euphemism for propaganda I had never heard before: arts policy.
