Illinois Politicians Debate Bringing Gitmo Detainees to Thomson, IL

[JHJennings]

While the "transparency" in Washington keeps us in the dark about the Healthcare Bill, Thomson, IL citizens somehow BELIEVE that Democrats will send them 1000s of jobs because of the relocating of GITMO to Thomson. It would be a Federal Prison and the jobs would go to CURRENT Federal employees. A few ancillary jobs will go to the untrained unemployed but we should CERTAINLY NOT expect 1000s of jobs for Thomson!!!

illinois politicians are all corrupt.

[Cassak5111]

That actually did seem to be a fair and balanced debate.

On FOX news? Who'd have thunk it.

[revenge53142]

umm.. yeah im confused

that was all like....whats the word?

Fair? how they showed both sides and actually let them speak. It made for a very balanced story.

OK Fox impostor, what have you done with the real fox news??

[eric3141k]

love how they let you know its fair and balanced

[Richardgwm]

Kirk has zero chance of winning the Illinois Senate seat.

We here in Illinois know this guy to be a lunatic.

[pokermaster54]

is fox starting to actually pretend like they're fair and balanced now that they've been called out for what it really is?

[junkforkaryn]

Kirk is a veteran, he would get preferential hiring and could be a prison guard in Thomson!

[diginando]

Kirk is a Dick!!!

[mintvagoo]

Fox Comedy hosts have the intellect of a sponge mop.

[AstoundedAtheist]

((FOX is not news))

[ETericET]

You have that right.

[1samothrace77]

this kirk guy needs a history lesson. we held german prisoners of war in america. german scientist helped to develop NASA

lincoln held confederate soldiers overseas?

[Thinking4You]

I think the guy interviewing did a really good job, plenty of followup questions.

[Ccolebrooked]

Wow. What a fucking fear monger.

[MexicanMetlAC]

We hold serial rapists and murderers in our prisons. What is the big deal about holding accused terrorist in those same prisons? What, are they afraid that we would be targeted for attack? We are already targeted for attack.

[asphyxiafeeling]

Fox News at it's worst.

[KataVideo]

is kirk wearing a rug? no big deal if he is, it's just that the part in his hair looks bad.

[KataVideo]

mark kunt.. I mean kirk, just wants to be senator. he used to work with naral and environmentalists. then he got divorced and got senate envy and all of a sudden he's sucking up to sarah palin. I expect a good old fashioned cross burning next.

[jonr7007]

except that president roosevelt ALSO brought Nazis over...

fact check mr. congressman

[inmyforties]

this anchor was balanced.. i assure you he was inundated with hate mail from right wingers for asking kirk actual questions

[micahgee]

Scaremongering, hateful hypocrites good lord.

Even the hypocrites on Fox news, can't stomach Kirk.

[justruse]

Yes, The answer to economic problem is prisons for profit.. Let's incarcerate 2/3 of America so the remaining 1/3 can live comfortably..

How about some solar Mgf. jobs or wind turbine mfg jobs instead... Lets Actually start Producing some exportable goods America..

[zeroepyon]

Softball questions for the republican what a surprise. Why didn't he ask him about the jobs, veterans and security at this prison? He kinda answered his own questions and left his guest to agree.

Terrible.

[GBTRU]

I love how FOX didn't have them both on at the same time. Dick Durban would have handed him his ass on this partisan grandstanding topic which the GOP has moved onto.

GOP is weak!
