Legal analyst, beagle panelist! . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Peter Johnson.
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 09:37 AM by skip fox


Fox's legal analyst, Peter Johnson, Jr. (a small but angry snarl in a bottle), is saying, "The Muslims should be willing to give up their rights to building a mosque at ground zero, Greta. . . . In fact, it they're not willing to give up their rights, then they don't really deserve them, . . . and we'll have every right to rescind them if we choose. . . . That's what rights are all about."

1. Legal analyst, my ass.
"If they're not willing to give up their rights, then they don't really deserve them, . . . and we'll have every right to rescind them if we choose. . . . That's what rights are all about."

WTF?

What "rights are all about," you stupid git, is that "we" absolutely do NOT have the right to "rescind them if we choose." What rights are all about is that they *can't* be rescinded.

When I see shit like this I want to gouge out my own eyes with a grapefruit spoon.

2. CAPTIONing at DU has been a creative activity. But in a way, the
writer channels a more essential person, a person who would say such nonsense if he or she didn't have a sefl-conscious filter (here, realizing what people would actually accept, etc.)

3. "Yes, Greta, I am incredibly stupid and shallow.
And I don't understand the law or the US Constitution. But FUX gave me a job anyway!"

6. "THe Bill of Rights is NOT The Bill of Arab Rights. Our forefathers meant
'rights' of the 'right.' For the people who can act responbsibly, forinstance."
