It's 7/12/05. Why Haven't Brit Hume and John Gibson Been Fired Yet?

[maxrandb]

Seriously, I mean, it took like, 10 seconds for Bill Maher (sp) of Politically Incorrect to be "canned" for suggesting the killing yourself by flying into a building may not have been "cowardice". Yet, here we have two prominent Faux News talking heads, and you can throw in Brian Kilmeade (sp) in the mix as well, suggesting that these despicable acts of terror in London were:

a. An opportunity to make a killing in the future's market (Hume).

b. A disappointment that Paris wasn't bombed because no one would give a shit, or may even be positively giddy if it happened to Paris (Gibson).

or

c. Good for America, because it allows other countries to experience terror (Kilmeade).

How in the "eff" do they get away with this shit. They called for Dan Rather's head for a story that more than likely was true, accurate, and "fair and balanced".

I know it's a bit much to expect Faux News to take any responsibility, or have any shred of decency, but are we also suffering from "outrage fatigue"?

Every single Democrat, from the leader of the Senate to the local Chief Dog Catcher should be screaming for these three slimy, blood-sucking leeches to be fired.

WHERE IS OUR OUTRAGE?

1. Now you see the difference between the VRWC 10,000 megawatt sound machine

and the tiny little progressive / Democratic paper megaphone.

3. They have not been fired because they make MONEY for FOX

11. Yes! You're Right

In today's media, I might as well apologize for even suggesting they be held accountable or fired.

Hey! It's what the Dems do!

"I'm sorry Faux News for suggesting these people be fired. I was in attack mode and simply said something that I shouldn't have. I regret if I caused any pain or heart-ache. If I hurt you in any way, I apologize".

Sound familiar????

Well that's not me. "Hey Faux News! Fuck you and the Fucking horse you road in on"

There, I feel better.

2. No one's watching them

I'm of the opinion that the only people who even know who these guys are (and frankly, I only know Brit Hume, and have never heard of John Gibson), are a few right-wing nuts and a lot of liberals who watch just for the shock value. The wingnuts love what they say, and Fox doesn't care what the liberals think. They could kill someone on the show, and chances are good no one would even see it.

4. Where is our OUTRAGE? No where. Sorry

I'm feeling a little cynical these days.

5. Conservatives Patriotism is not in Question

Unlike us poor Liberals, everybody knows that Conservatives love their country. So you don't really need to question this kind of thing when it comes from a conservative - you can just assume it was an innocent misstatement or taken out of context.

On the other hand a Liberal, when he makes a statement like this, it's not a misstatement so much as it is a freudian slip; he might be sorry he said it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't think it's a true statement!

Or at least, so the mentality goes.

6. Because they work for Fox.

At Faux, you could probably say something to the effect of, in true Fauxspeak, "Does America the Bold and Glorious care about brown-skinned ragheads? Really, do they matter? Sources say they don't, which is why we're going to blast their hookah-huffing, magic carpet-riding carcasses back to Nirvana, or whatever those camel jockeys call hell (like it matters), with your tax dollars . . . (snicker) . . . we laugh ourselves silly coming up with this stuff!" . . . and they would be let off without so much as a handslap.

I mean, this is a channel that contracts Mann Coulter, who gets away with calling Helen Thomas an "old Arab" on the air.

I'd like to add that Brian Kilmeade is a loathsome Shrubsucking, pubic-hair-headed TWAT. I would love to go on his asswipe show and leg-penetrate his piehole with mad science. "North Korea loves John Kerry". And you love to service Dick Cheney's shriveled member, Sighin' Brian . . . shut your girlie piehole!

10. That's it

They're preaching to the choir there. If they fired these assholes they'de just have to promote someone else full of venom.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. They are employed by Fox News.

Should I say more?

[Mike Nelson]

8. They probably got bonus checks

Consider the employer

9. These uttering just give us a glimpse of how virulently warped these

people really are and sadly, countless millions of other Americans have similar ideologies and mindsets.
