According to Faux News - THIS is the new face of evil LIBERALISM!!!

Fox News turns ire on ‘Spongebob’ global warming episode
When Fox News producers aren't coming up with simple-minded metaphors to "debunk" the scientific consensus on climate change, they're apparently turning their outrage machine onto a children's show for refusing to be "fair and balanced" like them.

In a bizarre string of on-air attacks, Fox News hosts seem to be feigning outrage over the Nickelodeon show "Spongebob Squarepants" for a segment about global warming. Hosts have in recent days been claiming the cartoon was shown to students by the U.S. Department of Education, even though it wasn't, accusing its creators of trying to push a liberal political "agenda" on the nation's children.

The department gave away "Spongebob" and "Dora the Explorer" books to elementary school kids at a Washington, D.C. event on July 20, but no cartoons were shown. Both books carry themes of conservation and environmental protection, as part of Nickelodeon's "Big Green Help" campaign, funded by numerous civic and community organizations.

"Clearly Nickelodeon is pushing a global warming agenda," Fox News host Steve Doocy said. "While there is no disputing the fact that the earth is getting a little warmer, the big question is, 'is it man-made?' Or, 'is it just one of those gigantic, climactic, you know, phases we're -- why, we're cold, then we get warmer, then we're cold again -- you know, which one is it? The science on both sides, there are scientists who say it's this, there are others who say it's that."

4. They are systematically brainwashing their minions into wanting to kill liberals.
Edited on Thu Aug-04-11 01:21 PM by CleanGreenFuture
The people they market to already hate everybody else that doesn't have white skin. Fox is seizing on this to foment intense hatred for liberals.

There's going to be an internal conflict one of these days when their hatred reaches the breaking point. Liberals be ready.

5. Yeah, and the Teletubbies promoted The Gay.
But that was 10 years ago.

I guess they have to have a new child entertainment scare every decade.

11. First SpongeBob was allegedly passing out the gay.
Now he's making the kids into tree huggers.

What will he do next?

14. The explanation is incomplete, that's all...
It has to do with those volcanoes on the moon. I'm not sure of the sciency part, but there's something there.
