Other

The answer is other, because the MSM understands deep in their dying souls the Truth which the right puts forth is from God. A liberals invests great time in lies. They lie to themselves to make up for their shortcomings. They lie to themselves to give themselves peace from knowing they are promoting a self destroying agenda. They lie to themselves thinking electing a liberal to office empowers them.

A liberal only gains peace when there is silence and not thought which they have to deal with which is blowing holes in their illogical conclusions. For any facts to challenge them they go ballistic as it brings down the house of lies they built their entire lives on.

They elect politicians to pass laws of manmade origin to make their not natural leanings "legal". For even to loose an election is fearmongering as they are the original phobes.......and is why they coin phrases like homophobes as they exist in fear.

I chose other simply

I chose other simply because the leftists are very afraid of the truth coming out in the msm.....simple as that.

For them silence is golden when it is the voice of the right.

I chose "other" for pretty

I chose "other" for pretty much the same reason BT. The lefties know the truth, but the sheeple from whom they gather support only know what they're told, and are too lazy or too stupid to question and do research for themselves. This also gives the lefties a tremendous amount of power, something the left is renowned for craving. Look at the extremes they went to gain majority in congress, and to which they are still going to gain the whitehouse.

We've all heard the saying about power corrupting. Well, another little-discussed aspect is that power attracts the corruptible (or already corrupt). What better appellation for the Clintons? As Satan is the personification of evil, so the Clintons are the personification of political corruption. And they are actively aided by their pet LSM.

The truth wouldn't only keep either of them from any political office, it would either get them jailed or stoned...

I had to go with agenda.

I had to go with agenda. Though they normally believe it to be the truth. As AGW. It's apparent many times they think it's BS yet push the agenda anyway.

If you really believed in AGW you wouldn't be using a lot of lights in the news room. 

Actually. A lot of what they call fear mongering by the right. (As Islamic terrorism.) isn't fear mongering. It's a truth they can't acknowledge because of the insanity of political correctness.

I said 'agenda'

I think it's about the agenda, and I think they consider fearmongering by liberals to be a necessary evil. Think about the lies about 'uninsured children' in America. They know the numbers are a crock, but if the numbers get Hillary elected, who cares?

Reality Check

when aliens breed with humans

have to pass on a joke my brother sent me.

Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, 60 Years ago, witnesses
claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard
crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New
Mexico . This is a well-known incident that many say has long been
covered up by the U.S . Air Force and other federal Agencies and
organizations.
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948,
nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for
you.
It did for me.

Good joke and I love ripping on all those mentioned, but,

I have the sad and unfortunate distinction of sharing a birthday with the ex-prez B.J. Clinton. Truth is he was born on August 19, 1946. I'm a number of years younger, but, everytime I read my horoscope, I can't help but think that Slick Willie is somewhere reading the same thing. Lucky for me, the one about messing with interns didn't really apply and when it said use caution and avoid the color blue, I chose not to go surfing that day... :^)

California getaway

 On Sept. 16, San Francisco resident Ronald Jacques, 27, was shot to death outside Jillian's restaurant and nightclub. The incident began as a fistfight between two men, witnesses said, then escalated into a brawl involving more than a dozen people. Police accused Kenoye Stroman, 23, of Oakland, of firing several shots into the crowd, killing Jacques and injuring a woman, then fleeing in a limousine
