Stossel and the Judge would be the ONLY two reasons to demand having FBN. Unfortunately, DishTV only offers it in their 230 channel package, so I am very grateful for these video postings, Nick. Thank you so much!!!!

[Ok, maybe I will switch to something else besides Dish, but I am a lazy bastard. What am I to do?]

I don't think you're demanding hard enough.

[Banjos Kick Ass!]

Watch it on Youtube. Go to Youtube a few hours it has aired and then search Freedom Watch, do an advanced search to rearrange the results to show the most recently loaded videos. Someone always posts it. Stossel is trickier as they tend to take those down. You can watch older episodes on Hulu.

Joe Biden doesn't get it because he's dumb as dip. That's why.

Are you getting any money from running these ads?

[Mark D]

The tea party needs to find better candidates. Christine O'Donnell was a joke. This is the 21st Century and she runs and ad denying she was a witch.

[Anonymous]

She was cute, though.

I think she was a weak candidate and clearly the voters of Delaware agreed, but the witch stuff was a direct result of her falling for the classic "make the bastard deny it" stuff.

For those unfamiliar, here's how the story goes-

In 1948, so the legend goes, Lyndon Baines Johnson, facing a formidable and well-financed primary opponent in his Senate race, turned to his campaign manager and suggested they spread the rumor that his pig farmer opponent had engaged in acts of barnyard intimacy that provided him "routine carnal knowledge Copulation; the act of a man having sexual relations with a woman.

Penetration is an essential element of sexual intercourse, and there is carnal knowledge if even the slightest penetration of the female by the male organ takes place.

Taken aback, Johnson's campaign manager protested, "But Lyndon, we can't say that! It's not true!" To which Johnson replied, "Of course not, but let's make the bastard deny it."

She clearly was not ready for primtime.

This being said, the Tea Party did put some folks in to office who are serious fiscal conservatives (Haley, Rubio, etc) who are ready to get dirty. Whether or not they do remains to be seen, but the left has ignored the effectiveness of the Tea Party at their own peril.

So you think she should have just laughed off all the Bill Maher stuff, in a "when I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid" kind of way?

I'm not sure that would have worked. But I guess it couldn't have been any less effective than what she actuall did.

[Tman]

Yeah, that's exactly what she should have done. Her weakness was her inexperience. If she had come out and stated her specific goals and plans as a candidate instead of playing the "Im one of you" garbage, she would've had a better chance. I still think she would've lost because I just don't think she's a good candidate, but it would've been closer.

[Jeff B.]

I second the question about the ads. Do you guys get paid by Travelers Insurance by leaving their ad in the video?
