Remember those comments Sharron Angle made about how FOX interviews were different because she could use the network to raise money. She wasn't kidding.
Here's some audio of Angle at a house party this month, bragging about how profitable FOX can be:
Guest: Sharron, how are you doing as far as the fundraising?
Sharron Angle: It’s going really well. If you’re interested in just the Internet part of that -- and of course I’ve been criticized for saying that I like to be friends with the [press] -- but here’s the deal: when I get a friendly press outlet -- not so much the guy that’s interviewing me -- it’s their audience that I’m trying to reach. So, if I can get on Rush Limbaugh, and I can say, “Harry Reid needs $25 million. I need a million people to send twenty five dollars to SharronAngle.com.” The day I was able to say that [even], he made $236,000 dollars. That’s why it’s so important. Somebody…I’m going on Bill O’Reilly the 16th. They say, “Bill O’Reilly, you better watch out for that guy, he’s not necessarily a friendly”...Doesn’t matter, his audience is friendly, and if I can get an opportunity to say that at least once on his show -- when I said it on Sean Hannity’s television show we made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in New York. It was just [great]. So that’s what I’m really reaching out to is that audience that’s had it with Harry, and you can watch that happen when I go on those shows. Go on my website, it starts coming in. We have an automatic…when you put your name in there and it doesn’t tell how much you gave, but it tells your name and where you’re from. And so you can just watch it; it just rolls like this. In fact, with Rush Limbaugh we put it all down. We couldn’t take the ticker going fast enough. And we’ve pulled in over [3,000,000] dollars just from that kind of a message going out.
Even the person running for dog catcher would get money from Rush, Hannity, and O'Reilly's shows if they ranted about the evil left. Says alot for their veiwers.
Please go on Real Time with Bill Maher and let him ask you questions Sharron.
Maybe Angle should be on the QVC Network - LOL! It's really bad how money has dominated the democratic process in America - sad, Sad, SAD!
Bill Maher - typical liberal - as if this man is of any importance. I love guys like this - it exposes libs for who they really are. Harry Reid must go - it will be a sad day to see this man continue in power and rubber stamp his liberal, socialist masters - just to stay in power. Get rid of Reid and watch tourism boom is Vegas!
Not only were Repukeblicans in Nevada duped and used by backtracking Sharron Fraud Angle, she was able to do the same to Repukeblicans in other States.
Thank you, Sharron Angle, for voicing your strategy. If Bill O'Reilly, whose intellect I respect even though I don't always agree with him, allows his show to be turned into a dog-and-pony fund-raising affair for you, I will join all the other TV news show viewers who no longer watch. I will now e-mail this same message to him.
Jerry,
I can go one better. Lets have Sharon Angle & Christine O'Donnell on Bill Mahar. Then we will see who the craziest really is.
This just has to burn the libs! The fact that Ms. O'Donnell was given $1million in contributions the first day of her campaign probably made many libs head for the saloons and liquor stores! I think I'll buy some stock in a distillery because there's going to be a lot of discouraged libs real soon.
venuspool: Bill Maher has more intellect in his obnoxious little finger that Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell put together. I don't like him and his ultra-superior attitude at all, but when it comes to calling out phoneys like Angle and O'Donnell, he is at his satarical best. It's too bad you are too eaten up with Republican ideology to recognize the truth when Maher says it.
To LVLady1: O'Reilly won't miss you. He has been #1 for 10 years and has endured millions of pea-brained comments to date.
O'Reilly has been the #1 Faux blowhard for a number of years, but I'm sure Sagehopper takes everything that turd says as gospel.
She is one huge cash machine for the conservative campaign machine. Will she win? No. Will they have made boatloads of cash off of her? Yes.
@ Sagehopper: "This just has to burn the libs! The fact that Ms. O'Donnell was given $1million in contributions the first day of her campaign probably made many libs head for the saloons and liquor stores! I think I'll buy some stock in a distillery because there's going to be a lot of discouraged libs real soon."
---Yeah, right. In your dreams. You're as absurd as Angle. BTW, if she is elected, you could lose your distillery investment when she institutes Prohibition. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
"Angle: I made $236,000 off Rush Limbaugh, and Hannity was profitable, too."
---Sounds like a "get-rich-quick" testimonial.
There has been argument about whether the "Tea Party" is a distinct political party or a movement. Calling themselves the "Fox Network Party" would clear up the confusion for voters.
Are Angle and Fox required to disclose the huge contribution to her campaign of free airtime for fund-raising?
Harry Reid is far from perfect, and I have my own doubts regarding his leadership capabilities as well as some of the Democratic agenda.
That said, Sharon Angle is eminently unqualified to be a United States Senator. I suspect that most people in Nevada with an IQ above 80 are well aware of it too.
Oh yeah. Fox News is not NEWS.
SeaPost:
That's why they call it "FAUX News".
My country needs to be purged of the plain stupid. I never had this many dumb people in my country when I was the first President of it. 236k for the kook and charities cant get a dime.
Truly, if she's allowed to "speak her mind",
Harry Reid will be laughing all the way back to Washington, D.C.
Is she for real???
Mrs. Angle appeared on a different TV network last night. Matthews played this tape on Hardball, MSNBC.

Thanks, tallison for the link to the Washington Examiner, the newsprint equivilent to the Faux News Channel. The editorial about the supposedly "bad,bad, bad" Obama health care bill and the totally partisan replies to the article by the Republicant readership of the rightwing (almost as bad as the local rag, the RJ) birdcage liner shows how eat-up with the dumb-ass some people are. Thank's again, tallison, for showing us the light.
I don't trust this news paper, this women is getting hammered without mercy, but Senator Reid uses racist comments about the President, yes the President forgive him, I can't stand Rush, but I guess I'll have to forgive Sharron Angle for ever wanting to get help from him. Senator Reid insults Hispanics by saying he don't know how a Hispanic can be a Republican, he stupid can you be, what he meant to say was, he don't know how an illegal alien can be a Republican, if he gets his way he would ever allow them to vote, this man could care less about the USA
to pmontg53:
Since you don't trust this newspaper, try the Review Journal where you'll get the rightwing angle.
Look what Harry made with his friends
Here is a list of the 4 largest categories of donors to Harry's campaign.

Bluejean:When I was in the Service, I went to a lot of places I didn't want to go, this is every bit as much as a battle. I don't trust this news paper, and I hope to see Sharron Angle when Senator Reid's seat.
