Thank you Tea Party! You did a great job of cleaning house and giving the Republicans “the message” they needed for their political gamesmanship!

@ SC 4:45

You realize that all those folks the Tea Party helped vote in, haven’t actually taken office yet… right?

How are you blaming them for this?

The WOT began on 9/11. Treat first responders as veterans with immediate, full access to medical treatment at VA hospitals. Wouldn’t this be prudent and an education should America, God forbid, have to “absorb” another strike?

But, Ohio, would you same the same for Stewart? He’s been much more vocal about this on The Daily Show than any other show on TV. And Fox is doing this (kudos, Shep!) *after* Jon has all week long.

yeah i would avoidswork, this is a shame, politics suck sometimes and this is it

The talking points the current Republicans are using are coming from “the message” the received from the Tea Party.

These Republicans had ZERO issues with earmarks until the Tea Party told them to. Now they’re all born again anti-earmarkers…haha!

They killed it because they can’t allow anything to go through that isn’t already paid for (another Tea Party request)….except tax cuts (including Estate Taxes) for the very wealthy.

like tax cuts for the very wealthy over First Responders…you call that a “tough choice”?

I call it corrupt to the core

i said shit times, taxes stay the same, dont try that class warfare shit on me, i just think government priorities are fucked up sometimes

very wealthy are less americans to you, everyone needs representation, spending is the problem

Stewart was right about Fox News. They should have been UP this story’s ASS. Wallace should’ve had Republicans on to explain themselves. Glenn Beck should’ve been as outraged over this as he seems to be over the delay in rebuilding efforts at Ground Zero. Bill O’reilly should be calling each and every one of these politicians pinheads ad throwing their weight around. This should have been Grade A red meat for a network that makes such a show of crusading on behalf of people who suffered even tangentially from the 9/11 attacks. Shame on them. I have been incredibly disappointed by their lack of attention to this matter.

Check out the post MEDIAite provide this morning,,
there’s a fellow mediaite member in there named Sarainitaly (or something like that) THAT WOULD PUT THAT BIG MOUTH IDIOT SHEP TO F’n SHAME!!!

I WISH HE WOULD GET OFF FOX
I WISH CNN WOULD BUY HIS ASS!

All 42 GOP Senators voted against the 911 responders.

All of them.

All.

Disgraceful.

Seems we ‘commoners’ need to form our own PAC, in order to influence legislation and such. If we commoners could raise the money to buy legislative votes, as corporate America and Unions do, maybe we could outbid these ‘royals’, whom are now buying legislative votes. How pathetic is it, when the American people could get politicians to do the right thing, if we met their price? First responders and our military were given the shaft by DC this year. “Ben Cartwright” would have hung these thugs in the town square. We need a modern day “Ben Cartwright.” LOL.

Just4thefax said:

and the “Klepto” line, what a canard. We all pay taxes.

Keep lying to your children like FOX news does to you.

It’s now proven, via a study conducted at the University of Maryland what non-Fox watchers have always known.

The conclusion is inescapable. Fox News is deliberately misinforming its viewers and it is doing so for a reason. Every issue below is one in which the Republican Party had a vested interest. The GOP benefited from the ignorance that Fox News helped to proliferate.

In eight of the nine questions below, Fox News placed first in the percentage of those who were misinformed (they placed second in the question on TARP). That’s a pretty high batting average for journalistic fraud. Here is a list of what Fox News viewers believe that just ain’t so:

91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

Yes, the people who get their news from Fox are stupid. But the bigger question still remains if it’s a chicken-or-egg scenario: do people get stupid from Fox or do stupid people gravitate to Fox?

But now that they don’t, it’s perfectly fine for Republicans to block it?

Just wash, rinse and repeat your mantra: “Tax cuts for the very weathy is more important than anything else in this country. They didn’t create any jobs over the past 10 years, but I don’t care. My faith is stronger than logic”

J4tF,

Fact: You still cannot piece together a logical, coherent sentence/response to any single post(er) here. How does pointing out that the bill is really for the top 2% (subtitled: doesn’t apply to 98%) of earners equate to a kleptomaniac? With a capitalized “K” no less?

Fact: You are defending something when in reality, the first 250K of income would still receive the Obama tax cut; any income above would go to (gasp!) it’s Clinton level of 39+%. All of this grandstanding was for a measely 4% different in the tax rate. Four percent.

I’m really sure Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and Dick Cheney have totally noticed that difference. But, that was more important to the Republicans than conceding that and voting for middle/lower class tax breaks and unemployment insurance.

Finally, Fax, stop making yourself such a target with absurd posts.

@ avoidsword 7:31

Do you believe that everyone who makes more than $250,000 is “Bill Gates” wealthy?

Bill may not notice it… but the small business owner pulling in $300,000 a year, and reinvesting it into his business sure does.

NotBlue ~

“…The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, which analyzes issues for lawmakers, largely agreed with Obama in a Sept. 3 report that considered only taxpayers with employees. Its conclusion: Small businesses with actual workers would pay only about 12 percent of the higher taxes. “Across-the-board tax cuts for high-income individuals are not efficiently targeted to small businesses,” wrote author Jane G. Gravelle…”

Anyway, thanks Shep and Chris for bringing this up and even mentioning Jon S in the process. and thank you Jon for making some journalists see the light.

I have a question. They were talking about people voting against it but I thought the current problem was it never even coming to a vote because of filibustering.

I’d even like to see a more detailed coverage of this and the history of the bill and why it kept being passed over.

Only if the first responders were rich then the republicans would take action as in pass the damn bill.

this story must be wrong. everyone knows that Fox News hates Obama and everything he does, and is biased against all things Democrat. I also understand that Fox is really just the media arm of the GOP. an Obama administration person herself said that. (Anita “Mao Tze” Dunn.)

yet here’s Shep Smith, ON Fox, and he’s saying bad things about Republicans and siding with Democrats. huh.

so I guess this story must not be true. or…maybe…

is it possible that Al Sharpton and Keith Olbermann and David Axelrod and Mr. O. himself are the ones who were wrong?

I am very pleasantly surprised of all reporters, Shep Smith of all news sources Fox, blasts the Republicans for voting against funding for the NYC First Responders. Unsure of your cursing, vulgarity policy so I’ll say I’m present participle F word furious at the Repugnicans for not caring for the 1st Responders. I mean our former dictator, oops I mean, President George W. Bush based his entire presidency on 911. After all one of his claims, rationale for the phony Iraq war was the so called connection between Hussain and Bin Ladin.
And then for the Ratpublicans to have the deplorable nerve to not to vote to help the men who literally put their lives on the line for the NYC 911 victims, the one’s who survived. How disgustingly hypocritical.
I see this as a physical and mental issue since I presume those men suffer severe stress . Uncertain if there were any women first responders. Of course if there were they deserve the govt.’s support too.
My one question is is there anything one can do. Any petitions, demonstrations, etc.
Kudos to Jon Stewart for bringing on three 1st responders on his show

It really is not that hard to understand. When the “Bush” tax cuts went into effect, they lowered the current tax rate. The cuts were only temporary and set to expire and go back to the De facto previous rate. That means go back to “normal.” When they decided to extend the temporary tax cuts, that means your taxes are being cut from where the standard was set back to go.

It’s like your boss gives you a 2 week paid vacation and he decides to extend it 2 more paid weeks. That’s a bonus because you expected to go back to work sooner. Unless you just assumed that 2 weeks paid vacation was the new normal and you could just continue that every 2 weeks for ever.

greg454 said:

That’s not true. There’s an additional tax cut for certain income groups that will mean more take home pay.

They didn’t blast the republicans. They brought the issue up and didn’t mention specific parties or individuals. THat’s okay because the issue is more important than partisan politics and both parties share the blame for not getting this done sooner

No your comparison doesn’t make sense. The idea is that for some rich people the 3% tax increase would mean no change in their privileged life style at all. For others it might mean one less vacation trip per year or a one less luxury car in the garage, or a little less profit in their investment portfolio. There’s an interesting principle in the Bible. If you have more, more is required of you.

You gotta give Jon credit/ This is a personal pet peeve of his and he veered off the comedy format to devote a show to this. Bringing the responders on to give them a face and a voice. Great move. And the comic on Comedy channel had to do it.

Yep, you’d think smart politicians would be requesting media time to make the public aware of what was going on.

@CosmosDan, “I don’t think either smacked down the republicans did they? Did I miss something or are people not watching the video.”

Actually, I watched the show. Maybe I should have said “congress”, but it is obvious that Shep was smacking down the Republicans because he cited Jon Stewart’s condemnation that clearly pointed a finger at the Republicans.

But fax is like shooting fish in a barrel… ;) Lot of ranting, no cohesive thought pattern and an obvious litlle teensy man complex.

I see your point. I did notice when I watched it again that Shep mentioned Jon S and said, he’s absolutely right, without objecting to Jon’s smack down of the GOP, or even Fox. although he mentioned they had tried to cover it.

Stewart was right about Fox News. They should have been UP this story’s ASS. Wallace should’ve had Republicans on to explain themselves. Glenn Beck should’ve been as outraged over this as he seems to be over the delay in rebuilding efforts at Ground Zero. Bill O’reilly should be calling each and every one of these politicians pinheads ad throwing their weight around. This should have been Grade A red meat for a network that makes such a show of crusading on behalf of people who suffered even tangentially from the 9/11 attacks. Shame on them. I have been incredibly disappointed by their lack of attention to this matter.

But there’s a Democrats President now. Fox’s policy clearly states that 9/11 can only be used against Democrats.

The VOICE I really can NOT TOLERATE is OTHUGOS…..The MUTE button is INSTANTLY hit when I see THAT THUGS face!!!!

“It really is not that hard to understand. When the “Bush” tax cuts went into effect, they lowered the current tax rate. The cuts were only temporary and set to expire and go back to the De facto previous rate. That means go back to “normal.” When they decided to extend the temporary tax cuts, that means your taxes are being cut from where the standard was set back to go.”

—Bush talked about making the tax cuts permanent, so did other republicans. Face it, most Americans like their lower taxes, inspite of Obama, this is still a country that wants limited government and small taxes, yet the politicians never seem to deliver that.

“No your comparison doesn’t make sense. The idea is that for some rich people the 3% tax increase would mean no change in their privileged life style at all. For others it might mean one less vacation trip per year or a one less luxury car in the garage, or a little less profit in their investment portfolio. There’s an interesting principle in the Bible. If you have more, more is required of you.”

—Do you think the government will spend that 3% better than that rich person will? Jesus never said “let Caesar help the poor,” he wanted PRIVATE individuals CHOOSING to do charity, not the government stealing money it didn’t create and spreading it around in bullshit earmarks. Face it, more homeless people are helped by the Salvation Army and United Way than by some government agency, so I’d rather see the rich going to a glitzy foundation party and spending their money there.

Oh, and I have plenty of compassion for every person who benefits from the rich, from housekeepers to butlers to personal shoppers to contractors, construction managers, architects, lawyers, waiters, sommerliers, etc, etc, etc.

Do you believe that everyone who makes more than $250,000 is “Bill Gates” wealthy?

Bill may not notice it… but the small business owner pulling in $300,000 a year, and reinvesting it into his business sure does.

AND THAT person would get a tax cut on most of it. The taxes would go up to 39% on only the last $50,000. Remember this is income, not wealth. This money keeps coming in. (It may not be Bill Gates….but I’d bloody take it.)

I thought this was supposed to be about the first responders. It’s not a huge chunk of money to NY ~ it’s for the people who got sick trying to save lives and recover loved ones, etc. How awful of them to go now and get sick and probably die on our dollar!! They really aught to be ashamed.

You righties on here are so brainwashed you can’t even see the vile stupidity of most of the posts here.

Notsofast ~ it’s you t’is the dullard. (did you have to look that oldie up?) How many times now has Sing along with MItch SAID SINCE NOV.2 that he heard the message that was sent to him after the election and is acting accordingly (load of crap but he says it) now. So, whether the new congress sits now or January or July, it’s all the same to Mitch.

As for Mr. Smith….I say good on him if a day, week, month late. This bill has been around for a while (plenty of time to have been read by anyone seriously considering helping these people) and has been blocked at every turn, so why the late outrage? I think Joh has shamed him into stepping out of his FOX NEWS character. Good on him.

I love the right wing “GET HIM OFF OUR CHANNEL” just because you disagree. News isn’t supposed to be agreed with all the time, it is fact. Facts are facts and I think a bunch of you ignorant sods on hear aught to reach out beyond FOX and get some.

Most of your “facts” are questions you fool.

Money is taxed more than once all the time. If my boss makes $10,000 (let’s keep it easy here) he pays taxes on it. If he gives me $2,000 of it in salary, I pay taxes on it. I give $500 of that to my landlord and he pays income tax on it. There is no way any single dollar is ever taxed only once. (unless once you have it, it stays in your mattress till you are dead on it) It’s called commerce.

I love the FOX NEWS spin. The dead man isn’t taxed, he’s dead and if he was a republican, may just have something more than the heat of our climate change to worry about lol. That money becomes income for whomever gets it and they pay taxes. Remember it’s only after millions, that it is taxed. The vast majority of Americans won’t see their estates taxed. BOO HOO POOR PARIS HILTON! That’s just something FOX tells you to get the low-infos all agitated so that they don’t see they vote against their own best interests.

‘U.S.’ Chamber Of Commerce Lobbied To Help GOP Kill Bill To Provide Health Care To 9/11 First Responders

http://thinkprogress.org/

Keep your eye on the Senate today as Harry Reid has attached his internet gambling amendment to the 911 responders bill.

Simply put, America has failed these heroes. This should have been a no brainer, the vote should have been 100% for it, so i don’t wanna hear the Dems needed 2/3 vote bullshit argument, NO ONE should have voted this down, these men and women ran into burning building to save lives. There was no debate on what price it might have cost them (in many cases their lives) they just did what was the right thing to do, and now we’ve turned our back on these brave people.. its honestly discusting.

You libs act as though you are getting some of this money.

Well, you ain’t!

As of today, Harry Reid is saying (in effect) “we’ll fund this bill to pay for the healthcare of 911 responders BUT you have to allow internet gambling to be passed with it because I owe the gaming industry bigtime from my last election”……

Holding up healthcare for 1st reponders for his rich friends in Las Vegas.

If that’s true that’s pretty bad on Reid. Never liked him anyway and if the GOP had nominated a decent candidate he’d be gone. It’s pretty common practice for deals like that to be struck but by both sides but it’s not how it ought to be. Bills should stand alone and be voted up or down on their own merit for the bill’s sake and so we can tell what our elected officials are doing.
That’s not how Republicans are explaining it, and I don’t believe the gambling bill is attached to it.

So Sheppard Smith is at it again, he’s sort of put Fox News in a corner. Smith’s a hard news guy, not supposed to editorialize. But if Fox boots him for that reason, they’d take tons of shit, and their brand would suffer. Smith will never accept a gig as a liberal pundit.

They just don’t know what to do with the guy, this has been going on since Katrina, when he was railing against the Bush administration. Hopefully, he can get an anchor gig with one of the networks, where his liberal bias is deemed normal, and make the transition seamless.

He may have mobilized the illegal Mexicans and union idiots in Nevada, but the rest of us are watching.

Seriously, you can’t be that fucking stupid. Here’s another one for you:

My boss pays me $10,000, and he deducts income tax. Then, as I’m walking out the door, a federal cop takes some more income tax. As I get in my care, another federal cop takes some more income tax. As I’m driving home, another federal cop stops me, and takes some income tax. When I pull into my driveway, there’s a federal cop wanting income tax.

There’s a big difference between taxing money as it gets passed from individual to individual, and taxing the same individual multiple times for the same set of money. You’re a fucking retard, homes.

Call me crazy but it seems to me that if they didn’t know what to do, they would probably decide something other than re-signing him to be their lead anchor for another few years? I saw the Katrina footage and he called out government officials at all levels because they all screwed up. If you can’t stand that Bush administration officials were responsible for failures to respond during Katrina, sorry – you can get as angry as you want but the facts are the facts.

As for the 9-11 first responders bill, I watch Smith’s shows often and I’m sure he’s covered it, but then again, I know how good Fox is at mustering up outrage and hammering away at an issue over the course of many days and many programs. I didn’t see that on Fox in regards to this issue. Why?

You know diddly shit about how politics work. The democrats don’t care one speck about the 9/11 responders, or they’d have had an up or down vote on that issue alone. No, trying to make republicans look like assholes is more way more important than any group of suffering people. So the next time you feel compelled to open your cock holster about something that you don’t know shit about, don’t. You just embarrass yourself, son.

Could it have something to do with the earmarks on the bill? I don’t know–I didn’t read it–just saying.

A lot more good things could be accomplished with US taxpayer dollars if there were no earmarks.

Something else to consider: Why are the responders and clean up crew having so many health problems?

Sheetrock. The sheetrock in the WTC came from China. Much of Chinese sheetrock has not only asbestos in it but every other damned thing China wants to get rid of. Additionally, sheetrock is primarily gypsum, and gypsum dust all by itself can really screw with your respiratory system.

Keep lying to your children like FOX news does to you.

It’s now proven, via a study conducted at the University of Maryland what non-Fox watchers have always known.

The conclusion is inescapable. Fox News is deliberately misinforming its viewers and it is doing so for a reason. Every issue below is one in which the Republican Party had a vested interest. The GOP benefited from the ignorance that Fox News helped to proliferate.

In eight of the nine questions below, Fox News placed first in the percentage of those who were misinformed (they placed second in the question on TARP). That’s a pretty high batting average for journalistic fraud. Here is a list of what Fox News viewers believe that just ain’t so:

91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
49 percent believe income taxes have gone up
63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)

Can you explain why you keep going back to drink from a fountain of LIES when fox is the ONLY FAKEWORK to go to an appeals court to overturn a fair ruling by the people to get the “OK” to LIE & DISTORT NEWS? Please take a minute to stop spreading your DISHONES-TEA & INSANI-TEA & explain this matter of public record. Real Americans, like me, would like to understand your treason.

you know who else LIED to the people to get what he wanted? GLENN BECK’s poster boy bogey-man, HITLER!

“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.” — Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

LOOK FAMILIAR? A recent German magazine ran an article saying Goebbels would be “proud” of the misinformation & propaganda being disseminated by FOX. Shouldn’t this clue you in?

If you can explain THIS ^ to me, giving me a truthful, factual, logical, reason as to “WHY” you knowingly drink from the fox fountain of lies, I will give you my vote next election. I will vote straight GOP, how’s that for a deal? Even for the office of the president! I’ve been offering this for months & can you believe not a single person has taken me up on my offer?

(by closing a tax loophole on foreign companies avoiding paying their US taxes!)
http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/worker-safety/132907-health-bill-for-911-workers-fails-key-vote

Republicans oppose the paid-for healthcare benefits bill because it closes a tax loophole on foreign companies. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) blasted Republicans following the failed filibuster vote.

“The idea that tax cuts for millionaires would derail this legislation is simply outrageous and offensive,” Gillibrand said in a statement. “The men and women who rushed to the burning towers and worked for hundreds of hours on the pile did not delay, and the Senate should not have delayed either.”

Since the data shows clearly that liberals have, on average, a higher IQ than conservatives, your assertion is nothing more than lame projection of the reality of conservative voters being morons…on average. That’s probably due to watching Fox or listening to liar Limbaugh.

Polls like this really show what we’ve been arguing for months, that while much of MSM does have some liberal bias, FoxPAC hosts and guests lie through their teeth. That’s a fact that you’re in denial about. Of course, you’ve been programmed to “think” like you do.
