Mike Gravel: Weed Safer Than Booze, Fox Doesn’t Think So

Big thanks: Lo

I think in a way Gravel is correct. How many people die from OD on Marijuana compared to how many die from OD on Alcohol.

But for Ben Ferguson to compare smoking pot to murder or slavery is just insane.

Just seems Fox wanted to sling some mud at Gravel for wanting to legalize pot. Think of the money they could get off taxing pot, also the biggest part for the war on drugs would be cut out, saving probably billions there also.

Plenty of countries have pot legalized, yet crime actually goes down, the government brings in more tax revenue. You still can get a DUI, so where did Gravel ever say, just because pot is legal means you can drive around all day high?

RON PAUL Battles Hannity in Post-Debate Interview

Ron Paul spanks Hannity. First Hitchens and now Paul, Sean's obviously a glutton for punishment.

Ron Paul: Thorn in the side of the beast

Anyone who can make Fox News lock-steppers squirm this much gets props from me. Best part: when Hannity flat out dismisses his station's OWN POLL.

Fox News is hazardous to your health and here's proof

FOX will eat itself

Bill O'Reilly never met a mirror he didn't love. That's probably why he green-lit the newest segment on the Factor where he invites a "body language expert," who's probably just a college intern with glasses, to analyze his previous interview. It, of course, coalesces into a giant, two-minute stroke-off. Scarborough picked up on the bit and, after O'Reilly demeaned MSNBC for the umpteenth time on his show, blasted back with an anaylsis from his own body language guru. Apparently, according to the expert, O'Reilly displays "typical primate behavior." Well, Jiminy Christmas, I could have told you that one. Now that the punditsphere is doing interviews about interviews they've just aired, who needs to hear about Darfur, anyways? That's depressing as hell. This is the equivalent of network news eating itself.
