Fox News Presents: It's a Wonderful Life

[Katashi_itto]

Can't wait to see the Fox News version of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.
Bob Cratchit is a lazy mooch and Tiny Tim a malingering slacker trying to defraud Medicaid.
And if Scrooge were to give Cratchit a raise to a living wage Tiny Tim would never be able to get a job in a sweat shop to learn a trade!

You can imagine what Scrooge's conversations with the ghost of Marley and the others would sound like if FOX got its hands on it.

Dicken's wrote the "Christmas Carol" as an indictment of "industrial capitalism" in 1843. He came from a well to do family but when his father was imprisoned he was forced to sell his things and work in a sweatshop. Later he was to be moved by the plight of the children of the poor who were forced to work in the Cornish coal mines.

Five years after the publication of Dicken's book in 1843... came the "Revolution of 1848" that swept through all of Europe and most notably brought down the French monarchy with the loss of their heads.

2. Just for kicks I re-posted this video to SodaHead.

And got hundreds of venom-spitting, republican and "conservative" defending, namecalling and otherwise incredibly vitriolic responses from RW'ers.
I was playing around on that site, for a while it looked like "liberal" voices were gaining ground, but now they are advertising links to their polls on RW sites and attracting the most vitriolic of the RW'ers by the droves.
It was fun for a while, but getting bashed by the hundreds just wears me out.
When I was taking care of my elderly dad for a while (92 years old and watches FOX news all day long if the remote is in his hands) I couldn't help but take note of O'Really ACTUALLY quoting a SodaHead poll to make his angry RW point.
I smirked to see how low they've stooped to try and sound like large percentages of americans agree with them.

6. Gee

I thought decapitation went out with the guillotine in 1790s

King Louis Phillipe was beheaded? Thought he abdicated.

Jimmy Stewart was a lifelong Republican, and a great patriot,
and he was a marvelous actor

My favorite Stewart (and Capra) film is "You Can't Take it With You."

8. Jimmy Kimmel was great

In just under four minutes he captured pretty much everything that is wrong with Republican thinking. Loved it.
