For anyone who would stoop to defend Faux News' right to free speech and a Halloween costume idea:
Edited on Sun Sep-20-09 03:07 PM by NoSheep
What if Fox decided to spread lies about you and your family and friends? Lies that might ruin your life or cost thousands in a law suit to try to clear your name. They've already pretty much ruined your country. If you don't care about the rest of us, please consider what it would mean if they did this to you. This hateful organization which destroys honest debate about the serious issues we face everyday as a society should be shut down. The very best thing we can do with our time right now is bombard their advertisers with letters, emails and phone calls (as some have already started doing)
Call out anyone who quotes their fake "news team". Be visible and be heard. This has to stop. They are not helping their viewers or anyone else with their hate agenda. If the US Constitution can be interpreted to defend these creatures and their right to do this that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let it continue without protest.

The money behind their efforts is not going to go away without a massive campaign by a public who cares about all our futures; even those of the pitiful, hateful people who believe their lies and gain power over all of us with their outrageous behavior.

Policy must be controlled by intelligent, thoughtful consideration of FACTS. Period.

If you want to get your ya-ya's out laughing at such displays, watch Nancy Grace or re-runs of the Jerry Springer show. Go over to freeper-ville and get an eyeful of those characters.


Finally, an idea I hope you will join me in: I'm going as a tea-bagger/Faux news lover for Halloween. I'm going to be passing out some carefully composed "literature" to anyone and everyone that explains why I love Faux news; how their lies help perpetuate an agenda of hate. I hope I get lucky enough to give it to the right people. If I can get anyone to rethink their loyalty to the slime that is Faux news, it will have been time and money well spent in the service of truth. I went as a Bush/Cheney supporter during the 2nd stolen election campaign and made some flyers and passed them out. I plan to post this in my Journal so you can see the kind of thing I'm talking about doing this year. Once I get the Faux News lover flyers made I will post them as well. If you want to copy and use them, feel free.

5. Of course, the mediawhores at faux and limpbaugh, etc etc etc are
the most dangerous enemies of America.

The White House understands that, too.

White House: "Fox is an ideological outlet...not that whining particularly stengthens their case..."
"We figured Fox would rather show 'So You Think You Can Dance' than broadcast an honest discussion about health insurance reform," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told ABC News.

...

"Fox is an ideological outlet where the president has been interviewed before and will likely be interviewed again," Earnest said. "Not that the whining particularly strengthens their case for participation any time soon."

6. Here is the 2004 flyer I made for Halloween distribution-also in my journal.
BUSH-CHENEY 2004 FUCK YOU
WE’RE CHANGING THE WORLD WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT


On November 2nd, we know you will support the candidate who has your best interests in mind. And by now, you must realize, that only George W. Bush has the audacity to make sure that your fortunes are protected from the so called “little people”.



President Bush, along with a few of his select advisors, has spent countless hours masterminding a plan to keep the working class schmucks struggling in fear. In four short years, his administration has managed to convert millions of would-be Democrats into card carrying Republicans through a clever blend of terrorist threats, fundamentalist religious messages, and something we like to call “trickle down economics”. Hell, we’ve got them so mixed up, they don’t even understand the English language anymore!



It’s really quite simple. Whenever we screw something up, we just say we didn’t! Whenever we risk the lives of our own citizens, we just say we’re supporting the troops! Even though we’ve wrecked the economy, the rich are still better off and who are the rest of them going to complain to? The Government? HA! Look at what we’ve managed to do with the Bill of Rights! The Patriot Act is just the beginning! Hell, when we’re done, you won’t even recognize that liberal extremist rag they refer to as the Constitution!



Remember those $300 checks we sent out to stimulate the economy? We thought that was brilliant! Everybody knows what working people will do with a little spending money!

They basically turned around and gave it back to YOU! Not only have we managed to cut YOUR taxes…we devised a plan to give you back the ones you DID pay! I mean, why should you have to pay taxes when we can get the working class to do it for you?



Listen. You don’t need any more competition. We can’t let the masses rise up and steal our profits.



To be perfectly honest, what President Bush and his advisors have that their candidate doesn’t have, is a vision of the future that is guaranteed to work in your favor. We envision the America of the Working Class as a third world country where the RICH have a kind of power that heretofore has been unimaginable to us. From the safety of our gated communities and walled estates, those who have the stomach for it, will observe the huddled masses, taking whatever they can get. Without the jobs that we are outsourcing every day; without overtime pay or working conditions protected by labor unions, without the strength of their families, which we will continue to tear apart through endless warfare; without health care and higher education, they will be destitute. Totally subservient to US! We can have our way with them! We believe that given another four years, this administration will even have the Liberal Elite eating out of our hands!!



This is our plan:

Deal with the working class by engaging them in war with our enemies overseas.
Kill as many queers, artists, and college professors we can (get the Muslim radicals to fly airplanes into the major universities)
Put all remaining blacks in jail. Crack oughta do it.
Send all the manufacturing jobs to China where we can exploit cheap labor.
Hire the Hispanics to do the service work. (they have “family values” AND the work ethic) We’ll make them citizens and they’ll pay the taxes.
Rape all remaining natural habitats for oil and other necessary minerals.
An SUV in every driveway.


GET OUT THE VOTE. YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY

8. Political speech is the most protected speech.
Yes of course false noise has free speech rights. The only way to shut it down is to turn it off. False isn't even a broadcast media outlet: the limited FCC rules for regulated broadcast media do not apply, it is a cable channel. Odious hateful political speech is protected by the constitution from government interference.

11. Back in George SR.'s reign, I went to a party in a KKKlan outfit, wearing a Bush mask.
Made some people unhappy, but so what. ANd walking around town to get there also brought a number of shocked looks.

As they say, if the sheet fits...

ps - those sheets are comfortable to wear.
