Ok, so "Fox and Friends" altered photos of NY Times reporters...

Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 11:01 PM by Archae

"Vanity Fair" had a field day doing the same to Fox reporters. :rofl:

Now look at this, and tell who does O'Reilly and Hannity look like?
I want to see if anyone else saw the resemblance...

1. The makers of Ben Stein's Expelled

applied similar techniques to their interviews with Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers. Poorly lit, unflattering camera angles, close framing to make them look evil. Standard propaganda bullshit.

2. Of course.

Stein equated science with the Nazis who sent his relatives to the gas chambers, and here he is using Nazi propaganda tactics to sell his non-science bullshit.

3. Stein said that "science leads you to killing people'

and that religion leads you to a "glorious place' essentially letting Christianity off the hook for centuries of fomenting hatred of the jews culminating in the holocaust.

He also said that evolution doesn't explain gravity or thermodynamics. Ben Stein is dumb.

4. Newton would wipe the floor with Stein...

Corpus omne perseverare in statu suo quiescendi vel movendi uniformiter in directum, nisi quatenus a viribus impressis cogitur statum illum mutare. (Newton's First Law in all its' original Latin glory.)

Clearly we can deduce that either Ben Stein's neurons have never fired...or they ran into something stationary with infinite mass. In either case, they're clearly at rest now. God doesn't explain gravity either. Gravity isn't mentioned or implied anywhere in the Bible, unless I just missed the verse reading "And God made all matter attractive to all other matter over all distances and used this weakest of physical forces to hold the Earth, Moon, Sun and stars together. And it was good."

5. Hannity reminds me of he sewage guy on Father Ted

Unfortunately I can't find any images of him. It's the unibrow that does it.

8. Thank you! That's the exact shot I was thinking of!

Father Ted is a brilliant show, such a pity he died :cry:

9. I was thinking more the "Geico Caveman."

:-)

And doesn't O'Reilly look like Nixon? (Fitting, I'd say...)
