Fox News: Those Teabaggers Are Pretty Crazy!

by Ken Layne

Barney Frank will put his fingers up your butt, America!Why does America’s #1 Teabagger News Channel hate the Teabaggers? Here’s the anti-American crap currently being pushed by the foreigner Rupert Murdoch’s cable channel website thing: “The rallies have also attracted the kinds of mistruths, exaggerations and conspiracy theories that make Tea Party leaders cringe.” What “mistruths”? That Nobama’s a Muslim Socialist Communist Nazi Kenyan who will send us all to FEMA camps? Yeah that’s pretty much what Fox News is saying.

This so-called “reporter” at FoxNews.com then lists the stuff the teabaggers are saying at all these Tea Party Express rallies where angry dumb people sit in frayed lawn chairs and wave tiny American flags while eating bags of bacon cheeseburgers:

“Obama, to me, is a socialist. He’s a Muslim and all he wants to do is bankrupt us and run us into the ground,” Ken Schwalbach of Escanaba, Mich., said at a rally on Friday.

Some suggest Obama wants to keep Americans unemployed so that they become dependent on government-run programs. Lenin and Stalin have become catchwords to describe Obama in the speeches denouncing his policies.

Going further, swastikas, as well as pictures of Obama’s face next to Adolf Hitler’s, have appeared on signs at dozens of rallies blasting the president and the Democrat-controlled Congress.

Other Tea Party members continue to question the president’s citizenship — a sign reading “Show Us Your Birth Certificate” popped up at a recent rally in Traverse City, Mich.

Who wrote this left-wing propaganda, Rachel Maddow? It’s time for real patriotic Americans to turn off Fox News, because otherwise that turncoat Glenn Beck is going to lead our proud Tea Party people right into the cattle car headed for the FEMA death camp! Please email this to every old white person you know, and encourage them to forward it to all the other old white people. GOD BLESS AMERICA. [Fox News]

Wow, I’m dumb. It just occurred to me that this is the first time they’ve actually let their viewing audience see this crap. This would explain why, when I ripped into a right-wing friend of mine for accusing the LEFT of fear-mongering with their polls that half of conservatives think that Obama is a socialism-pushing Muslim, he didn’t have anything to say. Watches Fox exclusively.

On another note, looks like Fox got the memo – Tea baggers are making the party look bad, discredit them immediately before the mid-terms. This should be in-te-rest-ing…

JMP April 12, 2010 at 12:08 pm

Sorry, Fox; you built this movement, you own it now. You might not like it now that the clear insanity and overt racism (instead of the coded type you prefer) is hurting your and the conservative movements’ brand, but you deserve every piece of shit that gets flown at you.

But Tea Party organizers — both nationally and locally — say the misinformed beliefs of some do not represent the views of all.

“But we’re working on it,” they said, pleading for time.

I guess I just don’t understand their comments – it’s like a broken Turing test or something;

“pantherhunter colmark2 said – The new Cowboys football stadium was built with a city sales tax that was increased by one-half of a percent; a hotel occupancy tax raised by 2 percent; and, a car rental tax that was increased by 5 percent. The City of Arlington also provided $325 million in funding. Where is the Tea Party when we need them, or do they only dislike tax funded health care??==================================================================”

imissopus April 12, 2010 at 12:26 pm

Hey Fox, you’re about A YEAR TOO FUCKING LATE on this one.

Murdoch must have spent a couple of days last week in his TV room at the Fortress of Solitude watching DVDs from his network and yelling “What?! I sign these people’s checks and THIS is what they’re producing? Someone get me Ailes and some more Vegemite!”

KnaveOfDiamonds April 12, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Let’s assume for a moment that Fox News and the Tea Party’s corporate sponsors maybe have an affinity for the Republican Party. It seems they want to split the difference on right wing crazy. For Republicans to benefit they need the following conditions: 1. The Tea Party has to appear mainstream enough to not drive away independents, 2. By comparison the Tea Party candidates have to appear crazy enough that they don’t draw away many votes from Republicans, and 3. They need to keep the Tea Party needs to be as right wing as possible to bring in the supports and their money. What we’re seeing now is the attempt to reign in the Tea Party to utilize it to benefit the Republicans in the mid term elections.

Allyson April 12, 2010 at 12:28 pm

“The rallies have also attracted the kinds of mistruths, exaggerations and conspiracy theories that make Tea Party leaders cringe.” No, actually these things are what make Tea Party leaders wake up in the morning. It’s not exactly a new story that the teabaggers are off their meds…as your coverage of them, and encouragement of them, have made clear.

JoeMac April 12, 2010 at 12:29 pm

[re=553711]The Church of Realism[/re]: I don’t know if they believe they are like John Galt maybe they at least read the book. The problem in America is that most no one read the book except for convenient quotes and they have no understanding of who Galt is.

However, this presents a dilemma for the family; because everyone knows only communist, muslin, nazi, socialists reads books.

Fox has probably noticed they are on the crazy train to Retardville and are now trying to stop before they arrive. I believe that train has pulled into the station.

It would appear they’re trying to keep their politically exploited viewers from running off a cliff, but walking back the crazy isn’t going to help. The genie is out of the bottle and he’s had too many bacon cheeseburgers to fit back in. The only way Fox can (maybe) get back in control would be to start telling the truth about liberals and Democrats. A senator tried that the other day and see where that got him. Just a Fox trial balloon? Glad they were using helium.

It’s like somebody started a club, see? And to be “in” the club you have to think smart people are a bunch of elitist, know-it-all snobs; and education in general, and higher education in particular are the root causes of America’s decline. Also, Jeebus used to love this country, but now he has turned his back on us on account of the hippies and their rock music. Oh, and first you let the queers wriggle around in each other’s excrement legally, the next thing is they want to “tie the knot.” IMAGINE THAT.

Meanwhile, the niggruh president wants to use my hard earned money to treat somebody-I-don’t-even-know’s cancer. Sure, sure. Here, take my money asshole! [/flings dollar bills at a cripple.]

On Media Matters dot org’s front page we find an article, which goes something like this…”On April 8th, Media Matters for America’s Ari Rabin-Havt sent a letter to News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch noting Fox News’ role in regularly promoting the Tea Party movement. When Rabin-Havt asked Murdoch about that topic at the National Press Club on Tuesday night, Murdoch said he didn’t think Fox News “should be supporting the Tea Party” but would like to “investigate” “before condemning anyone.”

Media Matters begged to differ and sent Murdoch a sample of stats and screencaps of what Fox is up to, available here: http://mediamatters.org/press/releases/483110

Perhaps Murdoch is so disconnected from his media empire that he doesn’t know what Fox Neuze is up to (right, sure).

But everybody’s right, it’s too late. Nothing Can Stop Comedy.
