Democrat Urges Voters to Watch FOX News - Sort of
TOLEDO, OH - U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) lent his warmup act skills to Barack Obama today, speaking to a crowd in Toledo before the Illinois senator arrived.
During his 10-minute speech, the Democrat told voters to imagine themselves on Election Day - getting up early to vote and volunteer at the polls. Then, “about 7:30 or 8 o’clock on Nov. 4th, Election night after the polls are closed, you’re gonna go home, sit down in a big, comfortable chair – maybe you bought a big, wide flat screen TV so you can watch election returns,” he said, painting a picture of the big day.
After some channel surfing, Brown said by about 11:30pm, “you’re gonna switch it over to FOX.”
The Obama-loving crowd, of course, booed. Eager not to lose them, the Ohio senator continued, “Bear with me here. No, no you want to do this – you don’t like FOX, but sometimes FOX has gotta do the right thing, so you’re gonna watch FOX,” he ordered. After all, it was his premonition.
Talking them off the crowd he continued, “About quarter till 12 on election night, it’s gonna be Bill O’Reilly sitting there with Sean Hannity.”
The crowd, unable to take it, began to jeer some more.
“No, no wait a sec, this is gonna be too much fun. You’re not gonna be booing ‘cause you know what’s coming next,” he said.
Getting back to his prediction, he continued, “So Hannity – they’re going through all these numbers and Barack’s won California, New York and Illinois and Michigan and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and all these others, and you know McCain wins Utah or something.” The crowd thought that was pretty funny.
And then the punch line:
“Then Hannity’s sitting there next to O’Reilly and they’re looking at each other and O’Reilly says, ‘You gonna do it?’ and Hannity says, ‘No.’ So O’Reilly – sweat’s coming, tears are coming down his cheeks – you can see ‘em on your flat screen. And O’Reilly says, ‘Well, Ohio went for Barack Obama. He’s gonna be President of the United States!’” And the crowd went wild.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Gee, this guy must be a real dreamer. I watch Fox cause I can only get the facts from them. the others, NBC, CNN, CBS and ABC are so in the tank for Obama that you cannot believe a word they say
I think that would be so cool. Fox will difinitely chock up that night. It will be fun to watch them speechless for once. The people will speak. They can yell all they want and both do with their programs. But this night they may have little to say. Priceless.
Who cares what O’Reilly does when Obama wins? He’s not even a journalist….he’s a spin doctor for the right wing. Does anyone really take him seriously?
what a huge A** Hole, sorry, but this just goes to show you what people think or really know.
A I say it again if American’s let A Democrat get in office with them already in control we are in trouble.
Not only that but Obama has got to the worst Democrat of the bunch. TELL me what he as done to become our leader. WHAT A JOKE!!!!
It ain’t over til it’s over.
SO the Dems are now advocating that Obama voters go out and buy big, wide flat-screen TVs to watch the election? I guess they just figure they’ll get the money back when Obama starts redistributing the wealth… Nice to know I’ll be paying for some welfare recipient to have a better TV than me.
well, i must say, …………. i cant stand fox. i feel they promote the republican agenda.
at my place of employment the building owner is a republican and all tvs in break areas are simultaneously on fox, I cant stand it, they are so bias, I like to watch Cspan. Like that there is no bias commentator. However, if i have to choose, ill go straight to cnn, at least there is no sacarsm and they dont think they are better than their viewers, or yell at their guest. That is my humble opinion
Fox the brainwash channel of the USA. 87% of those who watch Fox voted for Bush in 2004. Look at those lopsided statistics. No other republican voting block was that lopsided. FoxNews is a voting block all to themselves.
Wow, if only Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter were there too. Then Congress passed, as its first bill (introduced by the new Senator Al Franken), a blow-hard tax (also known as the screeching harpy tax for you Ann Coulter fans). This tax would be levied at 350% of income under the following conditions: 1) individuals that shout “shut-up, just shut-up” to any of their televised guests, 2) and/or make indecent comments about Americans to sell their books like, “9/11 victims like to bite the heads off their own babies”.
Ah yes, then the liberal fantasy would be complete. Besides, Bill O’Reilly’s taxes alone could turn our national budget into a surplus within one year. It’s a win-win situation.
fox been for mccain.i see that a lot time a go.
Yeah, Fox is about as “fair and balanced” as O’Reilly is an Independent. I have to admit that I do read/watch Fox when I need help seeing things from a conservative right-wing perspective.
I want to see NBC when Ohio goes to McCain. I already own my big flat screen t.v.
What about Commes? Hanitiy’s sidekick? He is left handed! Fox plays fair better than ANY news network and the ratings tell the truth dont they? ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN they are soooo pro Obama its embarassing. Obama can do no wrong in their eyes. My friend at work hasnt watched fox news, & has never heard of acorn’s BS voter registation drives and fraud! What does that tell you about the “other networks”???
That makes for some nice imagery, doesn’t it Repubs? He spins a nice yarn. A visionary,if ever I saw one. Read it and weep!!!!! LOL
I remember watching Fox the night Obama won the nomination.. the guy who was one was speechless, he did not have a thing to say, when Obama won, nor did his republican guests…
America lets have an other Lame Duck moment, but only on Fox !!! No more lame ducks in the white house, no more bush
FOX News is the ONLY fair, unbiased network out there. It’s the only channel I watch to get BOTH sides of the stories. All the other channels bash McCain and give Obama a “pass” on the very legitimate concerns we should all have about Obama’s judgement!
If you’re smart and want to make an educated decision, you watch FOX. If you’ve already made up your mind based on the media hype, then you continue to watch those other networks.
Get EDUCATED!

wasn’t there another democratic candidate that participated in these types of “events?” Hmmm…..it’s amazing what is posted on Fox News…and why isn’t this on CNN, MSNBC, CBS or NBC?
oh that’s right - they’re all democrats and don’t want it to get out that Obama is connected to this organization.
Obama = Socialism
Vote McCain.

We are supposed to give OB the following:
1) a pass on his relationship with Ayers
2) a pass on his 20 year relationship with Wright (voer 1000 sermons)
3) a pass on anything to do with Acorn
We are supposed to accept:
1) banning of guns
2) higher taxes
3) wealth redistribution
4) more government
5) A one party system (Obama, Pelosi, Reed - a total democratic controlled government)
6) a socialist point of view.
Sorry–too many passes for me and to much socialism.
Fox News: #1 Cable News Station!
John McCain is going to win the election, Obama has no chance, Experience trumps all talk and no action
THE SOCIALIST OBAMA SHOULD THINK AGAIN. 3 WEEKS IN POLITICS IS A LONG TIME
Pigs wearing lipstick, counting chickens before they hatch.
I probably will tune to Fox that night. Since all their pundits are Republicans, it will be interesting to watch their response. We will hear all the excuses why McCain lost, more about ACORN. They will wonder why their Reverend Wright campaign didn’t work. I mean, c’mon, we all like to see people squirm uncomfortably sometimes.
This guy is positively delusional.
“Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled”-
Get out the VOTE Republicans-Independents- UNDECIDEDS
Take the Kool Aid away from Sarrod and let’s prove the polls ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!
The numbers are skewed - the the LEFT is gonna be SHOCKED!!!
The stock market is UP- Bad news for Barry.
And at the McCain-Palin rally today, when the crowd said “The Pledge of Allegiance”- you should have heard them ROAR “One Nation UNDER GOD!!!”
That’s what we are relying on- the people in this Nation who have LOVE and RESPECT for God and Country.
Not a Socialist- who wants to “spread the wealth around.”- Obama said that TODAY.
God Bless America
McCain-Palin 2008
Please do not waste your vote writing in for Hillary, Huckabee, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Bob Barr et al.
We tried this with Ross Perot- and it didn’t work!
Every Vote COUNTS!
We MUST STAND TOGETHER
Both parties make me sick. Obama or Mcain. Gees looks like I won’t be voting. They both suck.
Democrats, you are all nuts. John McCain is going to win the election.
Fox news is more fair and balanced. I watched CNN on Rev. Wrights meeting with a group and the CNN person (a female) bragged on how good his speech was and that he said nothing wrong. The entire time he was up there he was spewing hatred and letting everyone know that Obama was only doing what a politician would do and not to be surprised if he (Wright) did not end up at the white house if Obama won. CNN mistreated Hillary too. They talked about her like she was trash. Now I see Obama has taken a lot of her ideas as his own. CNN has also talked about Palin like she is not a person.Some of the media does not have any respect for any human being unless it gets them (the media) attention. The ones that are going to get hurt are the honest voters who vote legally for the candidate of their choice.
Go McCain/Palin!!!!
i will watch fox all the other station make up there own news, fox is the only ones who tell the truth.something the other stations and obama for that matter knows nothing about. if obama wins , it will be all of you who voted for him that will be crying when he raises taxes on the rich and every thying goes up in price because of it. do you honestly think that the big businesses will take this lying down, and say its ok we will lose just a little money. i do not think so,they will have to raise there prices to make up there losses. they are in business to make money.dont cry to a republican when you cant afford any thing,this can affect all types of businesses.the idea of taking from the rich to give to the poor will not work.the rich will not get any poorer,because they will ask for more from the middle class, and the middle class will get poorer. soon no more middle class, just the rich and the poor.laugh but my husband works for a large company he is one step down from the vp. and all ready they are talking what they will have to do if obama
wins and raises there taxes, it is not pretty. i will bet his company is not the only one that will do this.so you really should think before you vote.
I agree with Wentworth, Ann Coutler should be there, too. Have you seen here recently? I can’t tell if she is dressing up like a hooker or a transvestite for Halloween with her eye make-up.
COMMENT TO PAT -
WE URGE ALL OF THE KOOL AID DRINKERS FROM THE OTHER BIAS NEWS CHANNELS TO TUNE IN TO FOX.
THEY ARE ALREADY THE NUMBER ONE #1 MOST WATCHED NEW’S STATION DURING THE ELECTION / DEBATES. THEY HAVE HAD THE RATING’S THAT ONLY CNN IS ABLE TO COME CLOSE TOO , BUT STILL LAGGING BEHAIND. LET’S ALL BAND TOGETHER TO BRING THIER CHANNEL THROUGH THE ROOF. ( THIS ALSO MAKES THE POLLS THAT ARE TAKEN BY THE OTHER
IN THE TANK NEWS CHANNELS FOR “OBAMA” LESS CREDITABLE AND VERY, VERY BIASED ).
ELECTION NIGHT NOV. 04TH. DON’T FORGET !
who is o’really?
At least Fox News tells it like it is. Not a bunch of Liberals like all the other stations CNN being the worst. CNN will never reporte any thing that is good about the world if it doesn’t meet their liberal view. If the Democrats win then the USA suffers and is in for a long period of give away every thing the honest hard working person has worked for all his life.
I will agree that Fox slants right on some of its shows, but compared to all the others TV and cable news networks who slant left and many such as MSNBC and to some extent CNN on cable and all the TV news networks slant so far left I supprised they can hold on. Cspan or Fox are the best, because Cspan has no commentary and at least Fox shows both sides.
Wow..this really shows how ignorant the dems are. They talk down to their supporters, and they bash the only news program that does not agree with them. Fox is the ONLY program that tells both sides and the dems and their supporters should spend sometime watching your programing so that they can be INFORMED! A very scary world we live in and I am sad to say it looks and sounds like it is going to get much worse!
I used to be a Republican but Obama has converted me. I have seen the error of my ways. I used to believe that the best way to personal financial security was to work hard, save for the future and invest in the free American economy. However, I now see that was unsophisticated and naïve. I should have bought a house costing twice as much as I could afford, quit my job, became a victim of capitalism and allowed myself to be bailed out by Obama.
I don’t want to be a free enterprise conservative any more. I want to be taken care of by uncle Obama. I am going to start a new carrier as professional leach on society. As long as Obama and the Democrats hold power, I can count on them to tax the “excess income” of other unenlightened, hard working suckers and “spread the wealth” my direction. Sure - I will never be rich, but then I will never starve either. With fee housing, free health care, and tax credits and “economic stimulus” money sent my way to compensate me for not working, I will do just fine.
Free at last!!!
Well hopefully this wacko is wrong , we do not need a democrat in office with the democratic run congress, why do you think the market goes down if they think Obama might win…because he is bad for companies who make jobs… so for you libs out there that meens he is bad for this economy which meens he is bad for all..like I said hopefully this guy is wrong. He can bs all he wants but this is the fact.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln…Teddy Roosevelt,,FDR, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Regan…
All great men, inspiring and dedicated Presidents.
Which candidate of 2008 comes close:
Barrack H. Obama?
or
John S. McCain ?
They are always crying about FOX. Gee, Fox must be on to something. They always try to destroy that which threatens their socialist agenda. That’s probably a racist statement huh?
Ha, the “brainwash” channel. Even if you could call Fox News a Republican channel, though I think they do a pretty balanced job, it’s the only one next to five Democrat mind control headquarters. Yeah, you got Bill O’Reilly, but on the other hand you got Keith Olbermann, who gets my vote for “THE WORST PERSONNN IN THE WORRRRRLD!!!!.” Get a life Dems, for all your talk of tolerance and appreciating differences you sure are a bunch of communist meat-heads.
WOW. Sounds like he has some wishful thinking. McCain is ALWAYS a fighter and I pray he will come out as the champ!
FOX NEWS IS THE BEST NEWS NETWORK!
GOD BLESS THE USA!
I simply cannot wait for Mr. Obama to be announced as our next president and Mr. Biden as our next VP. It will be a happy day for the USA
Boooo to FOX! But I will watch if Obama wins–just to see their reaction!
I watch fox news and read fox mobile everyday! Can’t get enough
What does he know that no one else knows?
HUH? Do you hear that weird high pitched whirling noise? I think it’s coming from the grave yards! Oh…never mind. That’s just our forefathers spinning in there graves at what a fiasco we’ve turned this country into. Socialists rejoice! The left is on the move and we’re all gonna be “correct-thinking” urchins of mediocrity ’cause it’s hip to be a supporter of a man that has no substance. Hey, Germany did it too. They just kissed away their freedom to a smooth talkin’ manic ’cause it seemed like a good idea at the time. Sad days for national pride — sadder still after ‘Bama gets done with us.
But then I’m just bitterly clinging to my fanatical religious guns I ’spose…
Ha, the “brainwash” channel. Even if Fox News could be considered a Republican news channel, although I think it does a fairly balanced job, it is still one compared to five Democrat mind control headquarters. Yeah, you got Bill O’Reilly, but on the other hand you got Keith Olbermann, who gets my vote for “THE WORST PERSONNN IN THE WORRRRLD.” Get a life Dems, for all your talk of tolerance and appreciating differences you sure are a bunch of communist meat-heads.
I think all the citizens of Utah should sue that dumba#$ Senator.. It really doesnt matter what the tv says..the main thing is people need to step back and look at the candidates, their record, their history and what can be a accomplished for us right after the election and the next four years.
I know other countries that hate us are sitting back laughing at us right now.
Fox is biased? It is the only news channel that tells the truth!! I’m not sure how you would know what is going on since the other liberal media only tell you lies and partial stories - we have seen time after time how the Dem’s will do anything to win an election….. How can all the other channels not be biased when they only say good things about Obama and only bad things about McCain and let’s talk about the screeching and sarcasm….that is all I hear as I channel surf past ABC, CNN, NBC, and any other liberal media. Did you hear that SNL actually did a skit on Barney Frank’s involvement and NBC took out that part? Oh yeah, you wouldn’t know that since its not reported on your news channels.
Did you hear that Howard Sterns went out and asked a bunch of Obama supporters if Obama made a good choice picking Sarah Palin as a running mate and they all said yes. Yeah, you guys are all informed. Look it up, on youtube…..
Wow, liberals are really brainwashed! Fox at least gives you both sides of the story. Are you too far into the kool-aid to hear the truth? Fox is the best news channel on TV. Hide your heads in the liberal sand, you’re doing the rest of us a favor!
Everyone needs to read this article:

HYMAN: Obama’s Kenya ghosts
Why would anyone watch Limpblow and O’Leilly in the first place!!! the voices of the Republicrites…hmmm lets see…3 time divorcee and 3 time drug addict and the loofah sexual pervert!!..family values at their finest..please give us a little more credit than this!!
You should watch http://www.foxattacks.com instead
Nyahahaahah! That would be really funny. Maybe MSNBC could show a live feed and electronically break an egg on their faces. I only come to this web site to post messages like this one.
I’m with Marcella………Our economy is so bad that NOBama has to create a new “NEW DEAL” for everyone but apparently they all have the money to buy brand new flat screens. Well, since I’m from a middle class working family and not receiving any kind of hand out, I guess I’ll just have to wait and save for my flat screen.
I used to be a Republican but Obama has converted me. I have seen the error of my ways. I used to believe that the best way to personal financial security was to work hard, save for the future and invest in the free American economy. However, I now see that was unsophisticated and naïve. I should have bought a house costing twice as much as I could afford, quit my job, and allowed myself to become a victim of capitalism to be bailed out by Obama.
I don’t want to be a free enterprise conservative any longer. I want to be taken care of by uncle Obama. I am going to start a new carrier as a professional member of the disadvantaged underclass. As long as Obama and the Democrats hold power, I can count on them to tax the “excess income” of productive, unenlightened, hard working saps and “spread the wealth” my direction. Sure - I will never be rich, but then I will never starve either. With fee housing, free health care, and gobs of tax credits and “economic stimulus” money sent my way to compensate me for not working, I will do just fine.
Free at last!!!
Why is it OK for McCain to question about Obama’s judgment and truthfulness about William Ayers? Why you do not question McCain for his judgment and truthfulness about his infidelity with his first wife Carol, his dating Cindy for 10 months while he was still living with Carol, him applying for marriage license before his divorce from Carol? I appreciate his service to our country, but I think he is a cowered when it comes to treatment of women and disables. People have right to know the real John McCain and his character.
Well, I intend to watch fox guys eat their words if Obama wins!
I wonder if they will still call him friend of terrorist if he wins.
I can’t wait till November 4th night.
You mean that the republicans actually have a news network for themselves?!?….lets see here…..we’ll do the math together….CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, the New York Times, CSPAN,….i leave any out?….ok so those are the Democrats’ media networks (and lets not forget SNL and all of Hollywood too)….and the Republicans….they have what….FoxNews. GOD FORBID!!!
FOX is a very trashy channel when it comes to making money . . . remember shows like Jerry Springer and Moment of Truth which we can’t even watch with our Kids. But when it comes to politics, FOX is the most biased and so called conservative channel.
Say NO to McCain-FOX-Palin
Boy don,t the Obama crowd just love Fox News . Be kinda of funny If it don’t turn out like they think.
NO/Bama!!!!
THIS GUY SHOULD DO COMEDY AT FUNERALS.
Go FOX, it is nice to know that the Democrats are capable of recognizing the most truthful network when they compare the things that have been reported or not reported on. Even they realize that FOX does strive to report the facts from both sides, even if FOX doesn’t like the news as it happened.
Thank you for your endeavor to keep us informed from both sides. I wonder if CNN, NBC and those other networks that chose not to focus on issues that should have been important because they did not paint their candidate in a good light will think about that one. If it were not so sad, it would be funny that the Democrats recognize what the other networks have done.
It is not fair to us, the viewing public who rely on newscasters to report information to us truthfully. Thank you for striving to be the best and for reporting the news as it happened.
Marcella, stop being stupid, you very well know that’s not what he is talking about.
It will be a sad day in the Fox News offices when Obama gets elected. It’ll mean all of Fox’s right-wing neo-con propaganda was a waste. It will be funny though how Fox will suddenly start criticizing the President the next 4 years, something they haven’t done the last 8 years oddly enough…
I’d appreciate it if you guys at Fox didn’t sensor and post this comment. Thank you.
Why are you people who hate “Fox” on this blog? Can’t you find the info you want on CNN (Clinton News Network) or any of the other Obama networks? McCain was speaking live today - any station happen to cover besides Fox? No. If Obama gets elected - come back in 4 years and tell us you’re glad you voted him in - I dare you.
Great commentary.
It will be the ultimate punishment as well as repudiation for their failed views. They are going to have to learn how to deal with a Democratic president, a senate that might be a supermajority, and a congress that could have as much as a 100 seat Democratic majority. They’ll see all of their ideas thrown to the dust bins of history, and their philosophy rendered impotent.
Democrats are like teenagers. It’s very difficult to be around them until they grow up. All in all, a very immature group.
I thought it was funny.
Doesn’t really matter where you watch the returns, unless it’s 2000 and John Ellis is calling the winners for Fox News.
I don’t imagine the election is going to be that close this time around.
Cheers,
SPiHC
Fox News is one of the very few who are telling the truth. Acorn should be blasted across this Nation by all the honest media. Kenya Obama in deep trouble with acorn activities,voter fraud is a criminal act. Kenya Obama must feel like a true jackass when looks in the mirror.
This is not news worthy at all.
This is sooo true. The only reason I watch Fox news is to watch the conservatives squirm. I will be tuning in on election night to watch them cry, try and badmouth Barack, when in all truthfulness the Republican party fell hard this election because they picked the wrong nominee!
Keep telling it how it is! The truth hurts. Facts are more powerful than rhetoric. The age of “traditional politics” are over, Barack has re-written the book, and John McCain cant read!
Not many responses from Fox viewers…hum. And of the few that did post, no-one denied that FOX is in the tank for the republicans…hum
Fox is bias. PURE and SIMPLE.
Lies and deceit will get you nowhere!
Obama may very well win, but it is not because he got more people voting for him, it because his voters want to cast 73 votes each or more.
All I can say is Fox News is the fairest there is. If Nobama wins I am gonna sit back and watch all those people who voted for him when they don’t get all the money they think they will. Are they crazy? It’s us the taxpayers job to pay taxes not get money from the rich. He ain’t Robin Hood you know. har har har har
What is going to be more hilarious is when McCain wins. There wont be enough shrinks in this country to handle the load.
Don’t pay attention to the polls. believe me they are wrong. I know this for a fact.
I never watch the other news programs, they are always for the left wing agenda. At least Fox gives the news whether it’s for or against who I will vote for. I can’t believe how low our country has sank. With finger pointing and name calling. Fraud is rampant, moral decay is everywhere, our economy is in the hole and everyone wants to play the blame game. Yes, our forefathers are turning over in their graves. This is not the way we should portray the best country in the world.
ONE wife, ONE house, ONE car, ONE vote: THAT ONE!
The news media tries to predict what is going to happen in the future and people who watch it are mesmirized into believing what is going on is the future for them based upon men and their flaws. Yes it is exciting to watch and all the personalities are better than what you see in “pretend living Hollywood” where they put their liberal agenda in the theaters and predict their own destruction. But the reality is God has the control of everything. He knows who is going to win and if it is the most liberal Senator in history then so be it but seeing as history has shown Americans like Republicans in the White House much better than the dimssss, 3 to 1 in fact it won’t be long until he will be out in utter disgrace along with all the corrupt Democrats and Republicans if they are found guilty of being greedy with peoples money. Go Get Him McCain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 08
I just love the editorial comments on the story:
The crowd thought that was pretty funny.
Oh and Marcella, he said “maybe you bought a big, wide flat screen TV so you can watch election returns” he didn’t say “after you bought your self a big . . . .
Active reading is helpful!
test
Why does it seem so hard for people to watch and read all news outlets. Research what you read and hear to find out the true facts. Then use your brain to decide for yourself and then go vote. Why do you have to have somebody else “CONVINCE YOU OF YOUR CONVICTIONS”???? “The “In Thing” and “Sheep Herded” mentality of the people in this country never ceases to amaze me.
I thought Christians believed in bearing one another’s burdens? Is that only in the Bible? Some serious hatred for people who Christ said could be recognized by “their love one for another”
God bless you all.
Perhaps Senator Brown should spend less time story telling and more time solving problems for Ohioans (speaking as one). Maybe he can help fix Ohio’s total joke of an election system since we once again look like fools and are replacing Florida as the focus of controversy.
I LOVE Sherrod Brown…he is so insightful!
If FOX is so offensive, and it’s the “brainwash” channel, why are you on their website Dems?
O’Reilly wouldn’t have the falafels to announce Obama’s victory… they’d have to wheel in someone else to announce it.
