O'reilly says all charities are ripoffs, and Monica Crowley says

Americans are so generous, that we should not feel guilty if we don't feel like helping Japan. O'reilly raising his voice to Alan Colmes. The message was, they have to do their own damage cleanup. They said NOONE helps us. They all enjoy it to some extent when we suffer.

The message is, don't allow your feelings of empathy for Japan to allow you to change your filthy selfish hateful rhetoric in general. They feel on the right that they will lose control of the sentiment that we all think that we as Americans give a large percentage of our GNP to foreigners out of the goodness of our God blessed hearts. When in fact, we give 1 or 2 percent.

Fox news, and their promotion of hypervigilance, and thus hate for all who are in need, was more clear than it has ever been. They would promote glassing all of Japan if that is what it took to insulate us economically and eliminate any possibility of even minute AMERICAN exposure to radiation.

Fox has just about reduced it's audience and the Republican party to a den of sociopaths.

Were I to encounter the God that supports right wing philosophy, I would kill his evil ass. Go to hell haters.

He's got all the skanky shirker-grifter so-called 'values' that define modern republiconism.

And I might mention that "government" also fits in that description

Capitalism is theft

end skating away from externalities.

As someone said, the problem with capitalism is, and has always been, the capitalists

afraid someone might benefit from a dollar they feel they should have had in their pocket.

Would someone please explain to me what Christian teaching these dorks had? Their God and their beliefs are SO removed from mine, it leaves me stunned. They complain about all the religions different than theirs, but I've got to say that I don't even recognize where they come from.

Does HATE have a religious title? Are they the devil?

Hypocritical, hateful, bigoted idiots.

What a racist, evil, greedy, stupid, satanic pair Scowley (sic) and O'Lielly (sic) are. I wish there was a hell so they could burn in it.

It just isn't in his little world to think of anyone being honest and charitable.

W turned down most of those offers, except for the $$ I believe.

I mean, I've seen her on the McLaughlin Group and I know she writes for the Moonie Times, but

She wears too much makeup, and she's too much like Mika Brzezinski - candy cane sexy getup to disarm her adversaries and then she throws out these rhetorical reich-wing bombs - it's like :wtf:

Even with Buchanan and Blankley there. Something about that Crowley woman though ... I can't watch it anymore.

nt

Wait, what am I kissing here? Hasn't the right wing mantra always been "get rid of welfare and let private charities handle things through voluntary private donations"? Now all of a sudden "all charities are ripoffs".

Never mind me, I'm just an old fool and I'm sure this inconsistency will be swept away in the spin cycle before I finish typing this. :crazy:

obviously the "get rid of welfare and let private charities handle things through voluntary private donations" thing has always been a smokescreen. greed is their true nature. taking awhile, but its all coming to the surface.

I here the same words from random Fox viewers that I talk to. They all say "Fox it the only news that tells the truth."

I think a Fox viewer would have to be deprogrammed to come into the light.

theres no place like home. Wishing for somalia.
