this is just so ridiculous, its both hard to believe and easy to believe considering the source.

Who is Usama Rooting For?

Who does Usama bin Laden want to be the next president? More people think the terrorist leader wants Obama to win (30 percent) than think he wants Clinton (22 percent) or McCain (10 percent). Another 18 percent says it doesn’t matter to bin Laden and 20 percent are unsure


who the heck wrote that last part in? geez...

fox isn't claiming anything. They polled the public and, assuming their figures are accurate, correct etc, the public thinks Osama wants Obama. Imagine that meeting. Osama, Obama, Obama, Osama.

just fyi, Fox has always referred to Osama as "Usama"

I have noticed this for the past few years after Alex Jones pointed out it's USA-ma. Pretty ironic. That's seriously how Fox usually spells it though.

just in case you weren't being sarcastic... I disagree! The news has more to do with WHAT they report as opposed to what they say in the report. For example, just the fact they would ask that question says something about their character. They are asking people to speculate what a terrorist is thinking (and that said, probably speculating what a DEAD terrorist is thinking). How freaking stupid is that?

"If Hitler was alive, who do you think he would vote for?"

- I'll answer that: He would write in Bush for 4 more years.

all fox is doing is posting the poll results. they are saying that the people questioned think that....

now, given that we are talking about the U.S., where the gen pop tends to show signs of dimness at alarming rates, it can be argued that by even reporting the results they are leading the less intelligent protion of our country to believe that osama wants obama but that would still not be the same as Fox claiming it outright.

If you want to go that route, they are also claiming that Obama will beat McCain, oj was guilty , chinese products are unsafe etc.

Perhaps not a silly as you might think.
If you have a thorn in your back side of course you're more likely to root for someone that will help you remove it.
On the other hand all three candidates look like they probably all have the same plan anyway so Osama has it made.

btw, your movies are not funny. I have yet to laugh at any bit whatsoever.
