Emboldened by their success in inserting restrictive abortion language into the House health care bill, Roman Catholic bishops say they’ve found a lobbying model that could provide them a louder voice in future policy debates.


“It was a good example of how we, as a conference, can work together to have a positive influence on legislation,” Bishop William Murphy, head of the domestic justice and human development committee of the U.S. Conference of Bishops, told the Catholic News Service last week.


Success in the House came after the church ran a classic lobbying operation: deploying paid staff to Capitol Hill, tapping influential bishops to make private appeals to key congressional leaders and distributing bulletin inserts to 19,000 parishes with easy instructions — and sample wording — for sending a message to local representatives.

So now that the church has become a political organization I think it's time to exclude them from tax exemption. They don't pay taxes AND they get to influence National legislation.

Or the Virginia Tech/Columbine shootings? What about that guy who had 12 dead women in his house? The DC sniper? What about the RW's pathetic attempts to exploit those dead soldiers for sensationalism? Terrorist attacks? If a terrorist attack is defined by the RW as being religiously motivated then Christians are plenty guilty too. Are all terrorist attacks religiously motivated? RW media believes so.

FOX NEWS LIES

We all know Fox distorts and lies and chops soundbites to fit their agenda. And when their not distorting facts they resort to just making up some false news or state an extremely radical opinion just to feed fear to their mindless audience. Those clips from the Daily show show a very small example of how fox news lies on a daily basis, you all can now try and be more open-minded and enlightened to these distortions perpetuated by the radical political organization known as Fox. They are the one's really trying to destroy America.

FOX NEWS HIDDEN AGENDA

Is to destroy America by dividing us and perpetuating a civil war through use of media and radical political propaganda. Through their use of distorted facts and edited soundbites they have turned the media into a 24/7 attack on the minds and hearts of American civilians. Their objective is to make America one big reality show for the political couch potatoes just to appease their shareholders and ratings. Fortunately most American's are smart enough to see through their BS and form their own opinions. You unfortunately are not one of those Americans.

YOU SEE

By mixing in fake news and radical opinions with real news of the world is one of the simplest ways they accomplish their agenda. People see those views and opinions as fact when mixed in with actual news. The person likely will forget the opinion but remember key words or points, walking away with a negative view from a false radical opinion. Kind of like going on vacation, sometimes you don't remember every detail but you remember how it made you feel. We are creatures of stimulation and sensation.

FOX NEWS. WE DISTORT. YOU COMPLY.

Media can be the most dangerous tool. Repetition works. None of you can tell me every detail of Glenn Beck's or Sean Hannity's show yesterday, but you will remember negative keywords and radical opinions. Your mind is being enslaved by an extremely corporate biased media. Please note Fox news owner News Corp. controls 90% of the MSM (and is NOT owned by Americans). Your minds are already being enslaved. Wake up to the real New World Order, your false God, the media. Chances are, The revolution WILL be televised.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

More than anything Fox news may be bad for your mental and physical state, how miserable it must be to be you all alone in your bed's at night, trying to go to sleep with nothing but thoughts of hatred and fear. Sounds similar to that other radical group...What's their name again? Hmmm, Oh yeah, Al Qaeda. Also note, Fox news went to court in 2003 for the 'right to lie and spread mis-information' and won the case. I would seriously question any "news" organization with those motives.
