Fox News Pundit Hails NH Town's Lack of 'Black Panthers'

[KamaAina]

It's about time someone stood up to the Black Panther menace that is running wild through the streets of Nashua, Concord, and Portsmouth.

share close StumbleUpon Instapaper digg Evan McMorris-Santoro- January 10, 2012, 10:18 AM 7272357Political reporters went live early Tuesday morning to catch the balloting in tiny Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. The eccentric political ritual of watching a handful of Granite Staters cast the first presidential primary ballots of the cycle (in this case 9 people voted) is a time-honored part of any presidential election.

To one Fox News Radio reporter brought on to analyze the moment by Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday, the vote was also a moment to reflect on what makes Dixville so magical.

I love this, this is what America is all about. Like you said, no hanging chads, we didn’t see any black panthers with baseball bats. These were good, American folks going to do their patriotic duty and I think it’s fantastic, Dixville Notch is just a great little place. That was Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes, who was referring to the 2008 New Black Panther Party “scandal” that been the spark for many right wing conspiracies about Democrats attempting to rig elections.

The racism is old hat, of course, but it is unusual for a Foxbot to mention "hanging chads".

1. Why are they STILL obsessed with the "Panthers with baseball bats" thing?

It was TWO guys, in one black precinct in Philly, and they left after one hour when asked to leave. It's not as though McCain would've carried that precinct if those two hadn't shown up.

2. bashing through anecdote...classic Fox tactic..

Tell the anecdote over and over again even though it runs counter to 99.999999999% of all reality until people believe the opposite of the truth.

[KamaAina]

3. Also, the "New Black Panther Party" bears no relation whatsoever

to the original Black Panthers from the '60s.

8. Straight from Bobby Seale's mouth

The Black Panther Party is dead. There Is No New Black Panther Party! Now, let's talk ribs. OK, I'm putting the rib bit into his mouth, but he is a world class judge of BBQ, wrote the definitive cookbook on the subject, and penned the Barbeque Bill of rights:

DECLARATION:
BARBEQUE BILL OF
RIGHTS

WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT it becomes necessary for us, the citizens of the earth, to creatively improve the culinary art of barbe-que'n in our opposition to the overly commercialized bondage of "cue-be-rab" (barbecuing backwards); and to assume, within the realm of palatable biological reactions to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle us, a decent respect for all the billions of human taste buds and savory barbeque desires; we the people declare a basic barbeque bill of rights which impels us to help halt, eradicate, and ultimately stamp out "cue-be-rab!"
As the commercialized backwards "bottle-back" recipe methods pursue and invariably evince a design to reduce our backyard-picnics into burnt, half done, bland, badly seasoned, improperly pit-qued entrees, then it is the right of we the barbeque lovers of the world, to alter the cue-be-rab phenomenon and creatively change our recipe process for a more righteous saucy, down-home, wood-smoking, delectable, baste-marinating, barbeque'n methodology.

THE BASIC "RIGHTS"
OF HICKORY SMOKE PIT
BOBBY-QUE'N

CERTAIN "RIGHTS" ARE ABSOLUTELY BASIC to pit-smoking. You'll see them repeatedly in the recipes that follow, but here they are in summary form. If you follow these basic steps, your barbequed meats will always come out tasting qued down to the bone.
1. Preparing Baste-Marinades: Always use recipe amounts of hickory liquid smoke.
2. Marinating Meat Entrees: 30-minute hot marinade, or 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator.
3. Baste-Soaking Hickory Wood Chips: Spread out over white-ash-hot charcoals for smoke-flavor barbequing.
4. Sear Seasoning: Browning and sealing in any coated meat seasonings before pit-basting.
5. Constant Basting: Baste meat entrees with blended hickory flavored marinade (do not use sugar content sauces).
6. Cover Top Pit: Keep down after each basting method and adding more baste-soaked hickory wood chips as needed.
7. Glaze on Barbeque Sauces: Only after meat entree is mostly cooked and/or done.

10. Because they're racist assholes.

[Jennicut]

4. Too bad a moose didn't come out of the woods there and stomp on this guy.

I love Dixville Notch and Coos County in general (my father in law lives in NH not that far from there). But I love cities too. Is he trying to imply that only woodsy areas with white people are an acceptable American experience?

[JaneQPublic]

5. Or, as Santorum would say, "Blah Panthers." (nt)

[Submariner]

7. No, no, no...."Blah" is so yesterday and the day before

Today it's "Plives".

You gotta keep up with the hypocrisy daily JQP.

[JaneQPublic]

11. *Snort!* Hard to keep up when it changes "at the speed of light..."

...again as Santorum would say. That is, he did say, unless he corrected himself again.

6. Moron

And it is unusual for them to bring up the whole "hanging chad" thing since all that was brought on by Bush/Rove/Cheney stealing the 2000 election.

[Initech]

9. When will Fox come clean and admit they're a racist network?

[catbyte]

12. Asshole.
