Just as the Right has coined "Democrat Party" can we please coin "Fox"
rather than Fox News. They are not a news organization, and don't deserve to be recognized as such.

1. Why not call them 'Fox Propaganda', it's what they are
We all know Fox is really a Propaganda network for everything the republican party stands for, so that's what we should call it, a Propaganda network, not a news network.

4. I will call the republican party The FOX PARTY from now on.
I will only use the word republican when referring to the form of government we have in this Democratic Republic.

I have conversations with republicans often and will now use that phrase to make them defend the indefensible.

13. How about Fox Pravda? Replace the "news" part with "Pravda"
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 02:10 PM by divideandconquer
We could even have "Foxologists" like we used have "Kremlinologists".

7. I haven't been calling them news for months and
tea bags are just that a bunch of used up, trashy butt bags. I never call them or any of their groups nothing but tea bags.

11. Or we could rename the gop 'The Fox Party' ...
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 12:28 PM by Subdivisions
They would even have a new logo/mascot and it would restore pride and dignity in shamed elephants the world over, improving their overall mental health and self-esteem.

But then, does the fox deserve all the bad press?

12. Actually, "Republican Party" is a put-down as is
Republicans themsleves try to avoid it. Bush and Cheney screwed up the brand. I think we should be using "Republican Party" with derision much more often. It should always be "Republican Party," not "Republicans," because we want to ridicule the party, not its members. Also, I find it helps if I always add an unpopular name to the construct. So I will say something like "Sarah Palin's Republican Party" or "Bush and his Republican Party."
