Fox News Gone Wild: Attempts to Sabotage Ron Paul Campaign, Ambush Obama

I’m thinking these guys would do very well on American Gladiators. Then again, O’Reilly probably doesn’t have that kind of dignity.




Fox News is out of control and funny as hell. They edit Ron Paul out of the picture, and they send in Big Old Bill O’Reilly to personally atack a campaign staffer of Barack Obama. I’m thinking Fox News needs to bring out the big guns again, but I recommend Bill O’Reilly carry his loofah this time.

Hey, if they can’t sway a candidate, if they can’t get them to show up for interviews, they’ll resort to physical intimidation, or even “rub them out.” FoxNews intends on being a “playa” in this year’s elections, by whatever means.

It’s already been written about how Democrats will not attend a Fox News sponsored debate. I’ve no problem with that. As a Democrat, I would also refuse to attend a debate run by TASS or La Monde. I would want the debate sponsored by an entity that respects American values, such as inviting all the candidates to attend the debate, including Ron Paul. But Fox News has a thing about Ron Paul. They don’t just stop at refusing to invite him to participate in a debate, even though Paul is the biggest money-raiser in the race this last quarter. Fox News is even editing Ron Paul’s name out of Associated Press stories. Yeah, they erased Ron Paul, tried to rub him out! Fox News figures if they don’t include Ron Paul, then he’ll go away, but Ron Paul just nearly beat a nine year old in a poll, so he’s serious, at least as much as any other Republican candidate!

Fox News debuted its new strategy for covering the Democratic primaries yesterday, when it sent its head goon, Bill O’Reilly to intimidate those working for Barack Obama. In typical O’Reilly thuggish style, he poshed and shoved an Obama staffer, reportedly sprinking his speech with obscenities. The incident is being reported by the Associated Press, with video by Salem-News.com: ......(more)

[ursi]

2. I always felt that the purpose of the Fox News debates in Nevada

were to further Hillary and allow Fox to smear Obama on national television at a time when many would be watching.

3. Ron Paul has been beating Ayles' puppet, Rudy 9ui11iani, so

Faux can't have him getting too much face time.

4. The highest percentage of troops support Ron Paul...

...for his "get out of Iraq now" message, Faux hates Ron Paul, thus Faux hates the troops.

7. Military support

Check out this volunteer YouTube by an American soldier in Iraq:

5. I'd love for that turd to attempt to shove me in public.

I punch a dent in his f'ing head so hard, his grandchildren would feel it.

6. I hate FauxNoise but...

Why the heck is everybody giving ABC/Disney a pass in favour of bashing Faux, in light of their exclusionary debate policies?

It's the MSM, period. F*ck 'em all. Attempting to control the primaries through their corrupt minions and paid candidates. The more we can ignore them, I suppose, the less power they have over us.
