FIRST TAKE A LOOK FIRST AT WHO IS THE FOX NEWS TEAM: OREILLY, HANNITY, ETC.

SECONDLY TAKE A LOOK AT WHO THEIR INVITED GUESTS ARE: ROVE, BUSH, McCAIN, ETC.

ALL ARE LIARS, HATEFUL, BIAS, PREJUDICE, DOUBLE STANDARD, AND STUPID. THEY WILL FIT WELL IN RUSSIA OR IN OLD GERMANY.

THEY ALL ARE GOING DOWN HELL SOON WHERE BUSH IS HEADING SOON BECAUSE NO BODY BELIEVES OR RESPECTS THEIR NEWS. THEY ARE USELESS AND NEGATIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE FORCES IN THIS GOOD COUNTRY.

I think this is outrageous and Fox News has been unfairly attacking Obama…We need to force Fox to change their bias reporting. I have a campaign that demands the immediate stopping of these attacks: https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/taking-on-foxs-raci st-attacks-on-michelle-obama-one-sponsor-at-a-time-first-up -dell-computers

O’reilly and Hannity are members of a tribe called ‘THE SCUM OF THE EARTH” it has no nationality or ethnic identity, no religious or political ethos, except the love of money. just place a coin in their mouth and they will say whatever you wish no matter that it would place their eternal soul into perdition

Fox Noise: Our own Volkischer Beobachter. (“The People’s Caller”—Hitler’s agitprop newspaper).

It’s a lying advertising campaign, hiding behind the tissue-thin lie that it’s a news organ, and the protections of the 1st Amendment—which it will gladly strip from the rest of us.

Hats off to Brave New Films for publicizing the right’s fearmongering campaign.  They do it all the time—they did it in chicago when Harold Washington was running for mayor—and they almost suceeded.  This is exactly why one must shrink from being too black in such campaigns when there’s skillful adversaries who’ve had more than ample practice dusting off that old but reliable button machine.

I’m sick of it.  I remember Hillary saying to a 60 minutes anchor way back when her Bill was under fire for having canoodled with Gennifer Flowers—“heck, if you don’t like him, don’t vote for him.” 

To quote Smoky Robinson, “I second that emotion.
