Anchor Lee Webb asked me to respond to Press, and I simply said that's
not the way conservatives see it. Maybe I should have just said "Bill
Press knows better."

I think I would have asked, "is that a joke? Serioulsy, you're kidding right? Your serious when you say that conservatives run the op-ed of the NY Times, LA Times and the PI? Actually, the only way I can see that you are being serious and honest is that you are SO FAR left that from where you sit, all these forms of media are very far to your right."

I guess it's all a matter of perception. This guy needs to come out of his bubble and see what every one else sees.

All one needs to know about Bill Press's sanity and intelligence is that he was thoroughly hoodwinked by the bogus "Lovenstein Institute" story of a few years ago.

In furtherance of the hoax, late in 2001 pranksters thought to register www.lovenstein.org and erect a web site around it in an attempt to fool people into thinking there really was such an institute.

For those who were on Jupiter at that time, this was a story that claimed that Dubyah had the lowest IQ of any President in the past 50 years, less than 100. Billy Press fell for it hook, line and sinker. Part of his commentary:

"The smartest president of the last 50 years?

You guessed it: Bill Clinton, with his 182 IQ.

The least intelligent president of the last 50 years?

You guessed it again: George W. Bush, with his rock bottom IQ of 91: seven points lower than his Daddy.

So now we know. Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Social Security, Medicare, Stem Cells, FEMA, the deficit, immigration…

The reason George Bush has screwed up in so many areas the last six years.

He’s not just incompetent. He’s just plain dumb – the dumbest president in the last 50 years. And, probably, the dumbest president ever!

That’s my parting shot for today. I’m Bill Press."

When he was busted, his "apology" was absolutely hilarious:

"I’ll admit I was wrong. I goofed. I cited a study ranking George Bush as having the lowest IQ of any of the last 12 presidents. Bill Clinton, scoring the highest. As I later discovered, that study was bogus. There is no so-called Lovenstein Institute.

Again, I’ll admit I was wrong.

But you’ve got to admit: It sure is believable. Does anybody doubt that Bill Clinton’s the smartest - and George Bush is the dumbest? Just look at his record.

Iraq. That dumbbell took us to war to get rid of WMD that didn’t even exist.

The Middle East. He’s so dumb he doesn’t know the first step toward ending a war is for both sides to stop shooting.

Global warming. Miami will be underwater before he realizes there’s a problem.

The budget. He couldn’t balance a budget if his job depended on it. Too bad it doesn’t.

See what I mean? Who needs a study? It’s self-evident.

George Bush is not only the dumbest of all 12 presidents since World War II.

He’ll go down in history - as the dumbest president…ever!"

What color is the sky in his world?

Great post Mr. Graham as people have to start realizing just how "liberal" American liberals are when they think Katie Couric, Junior Cuomo and Chris Matthews are right wing.

To understand American liberals, you have to understand they think the New York Times is Conservative as it backs Joe Stalin in butchering 40 million people.........and is consistantly anti American in every editorial.

Conservatives see this correctly and wonder how on earth anyone with a brain could conclude it.........it is because American liberals are more communist than communists.

Think of it, not one peep about China cutting organs out of prisoners and selling them nor one protest about Chinese police capturing a pregnant woman and ripping her 9 month old child out murdering it.......all in population control.

American liberals are not barbarians, but literal savages. This is how in like mullah Islamocommunist diatribes all the world is a "redland" and worthy of death because they are not one of these "liberals".

It is past time that liberals end the L word of Bush 41 and literally be defined as savages as that is exactly what they are. Dehydrating to death Terri Schiavo, butchering children in aborticide, dumping money into black communities and Indian communities for their genocide........that is all akin to Soviet and Nazi regimes and it is exactly what Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Edwards, Clinton etc... are all about.

Yeah, this is not a point that you can rebut rationally, since it wasn't based on rationality in the first place. It's good to recall the Buckley advice -- even if you geometrically demonstrated an argument, liberals wouldn't change their minds, so don't bother engaging in rational debate with them.

You're never going to convince Bill Press. All you can do is keep putting out a reasonable argument for fair-minded people to consider, and trust that the marketplace of ideas is not a rigged game. Reason will out. Liberalism sounds good in the short term, but it sucks in the long term. The mistake is to get angry at the Bill Presses and Keith Olbermanns and Bill Mahers, and descend into their irrationality. Every post that concerns those guys, as well as Rosie and Joy and Whoopie, is a temptation.

In my opinion, Tim, you guys are doing exactly what needs to be done. You expose the liberal bias, but you don't froth at the mouth. You show the bias, but you present it calmly and argue it rationally. I wonder, though, if you guys do what I have to do. When I read about these outrages, sometimes I rush to the keyboard and blow my stack. Then, after a few minutes, I take a long hard look at the [Post comment] button, and the preview. Then I usually go back and edit out as much emotion as possible. One of the reasons my posts are so long is that I have to burn off the frustration at these idiocies. Do you guys have a ten-second rule or something?

These wackos really believe the media is mainstream. They are so far left that left looks right.

I'm sure Bill Press is "for" defunding it & NPR entirely, just like me. Riiiiight....

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

Growing up in Southern California, I was exposed to this creep's delusional rantings on KABC television from a very early age.  He's a patently dishonest, arrogant jerk who's somehow managed to continually find gainful employment as a pundit despite miserable ratings.  He was neck deep in that Clinton/Gore/Chinese scandal, as well.  You can tell he doesn't believe half the things he claims to, and is simply a prostitute for the left because that's where the money is.

Don't ya just love the liberal's idea of fair, lol? Since no one wants to listen to us, it's only fair that government silence the competition. Next he'll be telling us that it's only fair for government to require every American to listen to 2 hours of liberal only broadcasting each day.

What a tool.

Somebody please, give me some of whatever Bill Press is smoking, injecting, or snorting!

Then I'll be able to see my personal debt like a glorious windfall.

This just proves that even liberals have stopped reading the New York Times.
