Fox News Says Congress Helps Terrorists

Fox News Says Congress Helps Terrorists by David Sirota his website is at: http://www.davidsirota.com

I don't watch Fox News a lot - so whenever I do, their disgusting brand of propaganda really sticks out to me (I haven't been desensitized to their nefarious tactics, I guess). I was watching Neil Cavuto interview with Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) after Sanders' Patriot Act amendment passed. And within a matter of minutes, the neanderthal Cavuto essentially accused Sanders and those who voted for his bill of helping terrorists.

He asked Sanders, "Are you concerned, though, Congressman, that, if there is another attack on this country, you might have, with the best of intentions, contributed to it?" Now I realize, he packaged his attack in a question. But that doesn't negate the fact that this is unacceptable. He essentially said that, if we are attacked again by terrorists, it would be legitimate to ask whether people who voted to simply make sure the FBI gets warrants on its searches contributed to the attack. Ridiculous.

Cavuto then dropped all effort to hide his right-wing smear efforts, saying "you are going to make authorities more leery of doing any ...and we will be hit again." (One side question: I wonder if Cavuto would have accused archconservatives like Republican Reps. Butch Otter or Denny Rehberg, both of whom voted for the measure, of helping terrorists?).

Fox News: They Distort, They Deride. Disgusting.

It's the talking point of the day

Oxyrush was spewing it too. Look for your rightwing friends to repeat it like good little robots as well. Strategy is, blame them before it happens.

5. We need to throw this shit back in their faces.

"It's pretty sad that you'd want the United States to be attacked again just so you could blame it on the Democrats."

That's the kind of ligual game that Rove plays, and he knows damn well that the stammering that followed would be mind-numbing.

7. People who support this war are supporting terrorism

This war is creating far more terrorists than we ever dreamed could happen. People in the Arab countries used to see us as sort of a neutral player. We have proved we are not neutral and in fact have Senators saying just that. There will be more attacks against Americans and it will have it's roots in how America is behaving in the world and especially iraq. People who support this behavior are supporting the creation of millions of terrorists that hate America not for our Freedoms but for our Behavior.
