Jack & Jill Politics

It wasn't just Fox. It was Joke Scarborough too. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that he didn't mention the report this morning. They barely mentioned the shooting. Instead, they brought up Reverend Wright. You would think a Democrat would call out Scarborough and defend the DHS Secretary. NOPE! Maxine Waters said nothing. Harold Ford, Jr. said nothing. Perhaps a member of the Administration would feel compelled to defend her colleague? NOPE. She just ineptly defended the President's health care plan and joke about Miss California. Who the fuck in the Democratic Party or this Administration has our President's back? Not a damn person that I can see!

Maxine and Harold are both Hillpatine coons. Remember how she shucked and jived on Joke Scars' radio program a couple of months back during the AIG bonus drama, trying to throw PBO under the bus. Yet she didn't mention her own kickback drama she was going through (How come Dyson, Tavis and the rest of the Blacker Than Thou crew ain't call her ass out??).

And we all know how Ford feels about Obama.

Sssssssnakes in the grass.

"How come Dyson, Tavis and the rest of the Blacker Than Thou crew ain't call her ass out??".

-Because ACCOUNTABILITY MAN!!! (TM) and THE ACCOUNTABILITY LEAGUE!!! (TM) only spring into action if Obama's name is uttered (oops, there they go again!)!!!

Interesting thing about Smith is, he's from the Deep South (Mississippi), so he has more of an insight into where a lot of the fringe is coming from.

By contrast, Sean Hannity is from suburban NY, believe it or not. I don't know if guys like Hannity realize how embedded the hate is among a lot of the fringe. Hannity plays to it, he lights the fire to it, but I wonder if he realizes how explosive and combustible the fuel is that he's playing with. I think Sheppard Smith does.

Nobody's saying it yet, but if things get worse, the question will have to be asked: how much of this is a reaction to the reality and symbolism of the election of a black president?

Shep is great, and, I think that almost all the ones from the Deep South have a clue, most just don't say it out loud, and, eventually his speaking the truth that the right wing kooks don't want to hear is going to sadly cost him his gig at Fixed Noise.

Isn't the internet great? There use to be a time when these crackas would have to burn a cross in our front yards or hang one of our cousins (if not "us" ourselves) from a tree. Now these muthaphuckas can release and vent by sending emails to Fox News. Isn't it great!!!

Freedom of Speech is important. I'm glad that they have websites and anonymous emails from which they can release their rage about our Muslim President, Hussein.

It's no secret that I'm against capital punishment. State-sanctioned premeditated murder will never fly in my book. Governments should never be granted the power of actions that can not be amended.

Having said what I just said, if I were a security guard working in DC (or anywhere in this country for that matter) and I got the hint that a young skinhead or a 89-year-old Klansman was in my midst and about to threaten my clients, I would not hesitate to TAKE THEM OUT.

Why is Von Brunn still breathing tonight? He clearly wanted to die today. The DCPD should have given him a 42-bullet salute on his way to meet Lucifer...oh, I guess the DCPD is better than that.

I know it's plenty of AA security people in DC tonight thinking, "if a muthaphucka makes the slightest, unusual movement around me tomorrow, I'M BLOWING THEIR ASS TO KINGDOM COME." And I don't blame them.

So for all the crackas emailing Fox with their "Frightening Threats," i'm encouraging to them to keep it up, "Gone 'head and release your fantasies into the electronic atmosphere," but the moment these crackas try to turn their fantasies into reality, i'm counting on the DCPD and more importantly the Secrect Service to NOT pull out their tasers or tear-gas. The Obama Family's Safety is PARAMOUNT. Pull Out Your GLOCKS and SHOOT TO KILL.

Amen!

The Obama Family's Safety is PARAMOUNT. Pull Out Your GLOCKS and SHOOT TO KILL.

Amen, Webb!

Shep's also the one who blew up over the torture debate, stating "This is America! In America, we do not f*cking torture!"

He's been breaking more and more from the typical FOX line this year, and it's good to see.

He has been a beacon of light in that place.

Sadly, it makes you wonder how much longer he'll last.

Links to the customer complaint pages for all of Fox's sponsors. Which is not to say that Fox alone is at fault, but certainly worthy of a boycott for its part.

This message is to let you know that until Fox News discontinues practices of blurring partisan political opinion with news and calling it "Fair And Balanced" and inciting hate through misinformation and propaganda all in the name of making a buck, I will avoid buying products from sponsors of its shows. I have noticed your products advertised on this network.

Please let me know if your company plans to continue this controversial support of this unethical practice through advertisements on this network. Until then I will not purchase any products from your company and will be sure to tell my friends, family and coworkers to follow suit.

Sincerely,

Well well. Even they can't hide behind it, tho on the talk shows on Fox, cretins like Beck and hannity are keeping up the lunatic line. Smith has a reputation to uphold as an "anchorman" so he has no choice but to act reasonable.

I blogged on the Langhart play again: http://natturnersrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/06/h...

But here's something that was on Field Negro:

"The guy who shot up the Holocaust museum today and killed the black security guard was like a white Louis Farrakhan. I wonder if Farrkhan thinks he's wickedly great. I wonder if Jerimiah Wright would have no problem if he did. I wonder why people with views like this guy were allowed to speak without any objections at the State of the Black Union rubbing elbows with Tavis Smiley, NAACP, members of the Black Congressional Cancaus, etc."

Chris Chambers Are you nuts?Where has Min Farrakhan ever been involved in violence?You cleverly are trying to bully people into believing Black anger is the same as white racism, it is not.

Um--read this again. This was an example as the dumb crap that the wingnuts were saying. I didn't write this.

Im sorry you had me worried for a minute.

No prob. I should have lead off with a better set-up sentence. It did look like I was quoting myself.

Whoa - I am troubled to see Louis Farrakhan and Jerimiah Wright used in the same breath.

Farrakhan in the past said, and literally believed, that the white man was the devil. This belief was repudiated by Malcolm X and many other now former followers of that particular "Muslim" belief.

That is nowhere near Wright's beliefs.

I expect a "vacation" for Shep very soon.

Shep really is "bucking the system" over there isn't he?

FOX NEWS is a way station for the the WHITE RIGHT WINGNUTS racist HATERATION and violence.

Is anyone at Fox News responding to these hate emails? They don't have too. Not to respond is to respond.

Hmmm....Shepard may just be out of a job. Fixed News doesn't like people who go "off the reservation."
