Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
This is ridiculous! FOX has finally sunk to a new low. But for some reason, this is funny!

Beyond disgusting.
Is there ever a sense of shame there?

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
yeah, pretty stupid of fox to do that. i'd be interested in seeing the context, however. they could've simply been covering what some other media outlet/website/politician/whatever had said.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
The question mark means that they're reporting and letting you decide. It's very fair and balanced of them. 
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

It's not even a coincidence, anyway.
But not in the way they mean.

Isn't there a bounty on the head of Bin Laden? (By transitive property, this is calling for a hit. Subliminally, at least.)

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Once again I am amazed that it is still legal for Fox to call itself an unbiased news source. Why their tongues don't leap out of their mouths for continually telling such lies is beyond me.

There really aren't any US based TV news networks. They are all "entertainment services" these days. You have to look overseas to find anything approaching decent.

The MR rogers one looks like it could be fake to me, but the bin laden one looks like it could be real.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Its fake. But like good satire, its hard to tell.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Part of the point of the joke is that it's completely believable.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
I'll admit that I was duped. But as user said, it's completely believable.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
So is it believable because they actually do this all the time or because you believe all the other faked images and bought this one too?

The one I posted is real. I have seen others, not clips but broadcast, such as "Are Democrats trying to destroy the economy?" "Zarqawi thinks U.S. winning in Iraq - Democrats say we're losing. Who do you trust?"
So no, it's not unreasonable to believe the fakes.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

After the terrorist fist-jab and Obama's baby momma, you can actually ask that ?
