On the April 28 edition of Fox News Live, as Fox News host David Asman promoted Fox's upcoming Saturday show Forbes on Fox, by saying it would "focus in on exactly who's responsible for high gas prices -- it's not who you might think," the on-screen text read: "Blame liberals for high oil and gas prices!"

:puke:

1. But FDR and the rest of the liberals are dead!!

Wow, they're good!!

NGU.

[classof56]

2. But--but the conservatives are in charge! WTF??

Good grief...I give up! These are the things that keep me tired, cynical and almost devoid of any hope for the future. Thank goodness for DU! My refuge amidst the storm of insanity raging around us!

Tired Old Cynic

[otohara]

3. Lie, Deny, Blame The Dems and Evoke God's Name

works every time!

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Of course

I guess their mother's never taught them responsibility for their own actions. Good grief! The democrats have NO POWER you moron's! Get over it!!!!

[Tux]

6. That is what I don't understand

Why is Fox so helpful to the con men but have to blast liberals left and right? Republicians are in charge yet bear no responsibility as usual. Makes me wonder if Americans are realy stupid as other nations claim.

[smoogatz]

10. Of course they are.

And the more you watch Faux News, the dumber you get. They blast liberals because the neo-con agenda is so patently crooked the only way they can win support for it is to lie, lie, lie, and try to discredit the opposition any way they can.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. It's simple

We're their boogeyman. :eyes: Just like BinLaden is.

13. There is a new Social Security ad running here in Maine...

asking people to call Senator Collins and encourage her to support the president's plan because you need to save your money yourself and "keep it away from those crazy spenders in Washington."

Nevermind that the GOP controls both houses of Congress AND the White House...

[nickgutierrez]

17. The crazy spenders he's referring to, of course...

...are those guys who threw this country into a massive defecit because "Curveball" threw them one on Iraq's WMD's. Right?

No?

The "Blame Liberals First" Right is at it again... :banghead:

[smoogatz]

4. That's right! It's them damn liburls again--

FORCING us to drive these huge honkin' SUVs and holdin' hands with them A-rab princes and not jaw-boning them Saudis like they said they--

Hey, wait a dang minute here--somethin's wrong. I don't feel so good--like my head's gonna ex-plode or somethin'--better log onto Freerepublic and reassure mysel...

SPLOP!!!!

[tanyev]

5. I blame God!

He didn't put enough in the ground! Omniscient, my fanny.

[Coastie for Truth]

12. Absolutely right - It is God's fault - She Goofed

It's all God's fault. When She "Created" humankind in her personal image She did not create enough oil. -

It's right there in King Hubbert's "Sermon In the Oil Patch" which is described, elucidated, and explained in the two Gospels according to Ken Deffeyes ("Beyond Oil : The View from Hubbert's Peak", "Hubbert's Peak : The Impending World Oil Shortage") and in the Gospel according to David Goodstein ("Out of Gas: The End of the Age Of Oil"} and the Gospel of Anthony Evans' in his Revelations ("An Introduction to Economic Geology and Its Environmental Impact").

There's also two good Church Histories, one by Saint William of Engdahl, "A Century Of War : Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order" and another by Saint Craig of Unger, "House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties"

This is the Time of Tribulations before the Battle of Armageddon and the Apocalypse. Repent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:toast:I am rehearsing to be an official White House Presidential Televangelist :toast:

:bounce:

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Nah I blame

mother nature. She picked a bad spot to put all the oil. It should've been in our backyards. :eyes:

[aldian159]

31. Goodstein's book is amazing

and everyone should buy it now.

That is all.

[stray cat]

15. At least he didn't put enough in Texas.

[fighttotheend]

7. OH BROTHER, I heard(only heard) that bushies chairmen runs this station?

[smoogatz]

9. Roger Ailes

Campaign adviser to Reagan and Bush 1, and all-around evil Republican bastard.

[smoogatz]

8. It's Clinton's fault!!!

He failed to invent the hydrogen car, didn't he? Well, didn't he???

[classof56]

11. This reminds me of when I first heard about hydrogen cars.

It was in the early 1980s and a co-worker and I were joking about how instead of exhaust fumes, hydrogen cars would emit little mushroom-shaped clouds. I realize now, of course, that since Clinton was alive then, he bears responsibility for failing to "invent" or promote hydrogen cars. Actually, he's pretty much to blame for everything that's gone wrong, as we all know. Even World War II, which was before he was born but his mother was alive, right? <sarcasm off now>

Geez...!

[FreedomAngel82]

24. That poor man

He gets blamed for everything. I feel so bad for him.

[stray cat]

14. They are right those Saudi liberals should not embrace free markets.

by selling a limited commodity for the best price.

Bush keeps claiming it is a problem that has been building for awhile - so why didn't he do something productive in his first 4 years? How about promoting energy efficient cars and conservation as a minimum?

[FreedomAngel82]

25. I know why

He was too busy playing golf with Tom DeLay.

[wicket]

16. kick

:kick:

[agincourt]

18. He will probably defecate that the tax cuts came too late,

for big business to "solve" the energy crisis. That Sudan offered Bill Clinton the plans for a usable fusion reactor three times,and the Bill Clinton did "nothing". He'll say Teddy Kennedy killed the 100 mpg carburetor. He'll propable squeeze from his pig jowls John Kerry and Jane Fonda killed the luminous ether program which could have powered the US for a thousand years. Freeper trolls, educated and uneducated, will orgy over every word of it. On and on and on.

[thebaghwan]

19. Blame it on Clinton's penis!

[NightOwwl]

21. But they're Fair and Balanced...

so they must be telling the truth. :eyes:

Check out this website, it is soooo funny! FauxNews:http://www.fauxnewschannel.com/

[sakabatou]

26. Did the show ever give a GOOD reason?

Or is it a scapegoat thing?

[unkachuck]

27. you can blame who you want....

....but when is BUSH going to lower the price of gas?....when is BUSH going to lower the price of gas?....when is BUSH going to lower the price of gas?....when is BUSH going to lower the price of gas?....

[Benno]

28. WTF?

I can't believe the amount of bullshit they will show. In fact, I at first thought this post was a joke. How in the hell are they gonna spin high gas and oil prices onto liberals? They got their damn energy bill, drilling shall commence, and most likely America won't see shit for oil from the whole thing. Crazy I tell ya!

[hector459]

29. Blame Reagan. Carter and Anderson tried back in 1980 to set us on

the correct path of sacrifice, conservation and alternative fuels. John Anderson, the Independent running for President tried to get a 50 cent gasoline tax that would go for research into alternative fuels and help the deficit. But good old Ronnie spoofed them, made fun of them, and demeaned Carter and Anderson in public debates. Ronnie stated that the American people should not have to sacrifice for anything. The RW wing once again could afford the prices and had most of the gas guzzeling "toys" to play with (yachts, autos, trucks, motor homes etc.) The public went along with Ronnie then who was also poking fun and attacking Carter for his human rights positions. Ronnie believed and stated that we should keep our noses out of other nations' business...especially the ones in which we were shoring up puppet brutal dictators.

30. kick

:kick:

[Jade Fox]

32. How much longer can even the stupidest people believe this sort of crap?

Liberals have been now where near power for years. Is there any
common sense left in this country?

[kentuck]

33. Yep. They caught us again....it's our fault....

That's why everyone was so quiet....we didn't want to blame Bush for the high gas prices...after all, he's only been in office 5 years...

[GOPBasher]

34. Do they even attempt to seem "fair and balanced" anymore?

What an unbelievable country we're living in right now. This is seeming more and more Orwellian.
