So instead of having a new thread for every damn thing that comes up in the news that we want to speak about, why not have one thread with a barrage of ideas and news stories?
Plus, I like ***OFFICIAL*** threads.
I'll start. WTF @ Arizona being the mother of all the racist states. They're really starting to piss me off.
The bottom text is a link that came out black for some reason.

"I can't believe people have such a problem with Arizona's immigration law...when good Police Officers are getting shot by illegal immigrant drug smugglers with AK-47s. When the federal government fails to act, the individual states have a duty to protect their citizens."
how would you respond?

Defending AZ law, Peters falsely claims crime rates are "soaring" in border states | Media Matters for America

Crime rates in Arizona at lowest point in decades. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the violent crime rate in Arizona was lower in 2006, 2007, and 2008 -- the most recent year from which data are available -- than any year since 1983. The property crime rate in Arizona was lower in 2006, 2007, and 2008 than any year since 1968. In addition, in Arizona, the violent crime rate dropped from 577.9 per 100,000 population in 1998 to 447 per 100,000 population in 2008; the property crime rate dropped from 5,997 to 4,291 during the same period. During the same decade, Arizona's undocumented immigrant population grew rapidly. The Arizona Republic reported: "Between January 2000 and January 2008, Arizona's undocumented population grew 70 percent, according to the DHS [Department of Homeland Security] report. Nationally, it grew 37 percent."

So even if there was a problem (rising crime due to illegal immigration), the repercussions that follow the circumvention of our civil liberties cancels out any gains seen from the unconstitutional law.

I cannot fucking believe that they insist on opposing this administration on every single issue.
and I love how he was explaining it in very simple terms, and the fox host pretty much insults her viewers by calling them simpletons.

That clip is really funny until you remember it's not comedy central. 
Two weeks ago a bass player who I was sharing my rehearsal room with was dragged into a car at a gas station. His 'mutilated' corpse was found the next day. The police said it looked like an execution. He was a drunk a really nice guy and nobody has any clue about the motive.

We've been having fun with Murdoch's scumfuck media recently (trust me these are worth it).
YouTube - Adam Boulton (Sky News) v Alastair Campbell (Labour) - FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! - Right-wing interviewer completely loses his shit on live TV vs. Labour spin-doctor. Bonus fact: Alastair Campbell ordered the sexing up of the Iraq WMD dossier to get it in keeping with the US line.

You know how you can tell it's Rupert's propaganda machine?
Streaming text at the bottom of the screen. 0% of the population is able to pay attention to both the words of the audio and words of the text, and I guarantee this is an important factor in keeping the audience from not recognizing contradictions and such

If Murdoch's media empire spewed out a generally reasonable, rational, centrist liberal viewpoint, would we still decry it?
