Fox News: "WAR HAS ERUPTED IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

[Pachamama]

This is what Shepard on Fox just said a few minutes ago....

They are almost giddy....scary....

[Avalux]

1. Did they say World War III yet??

They're praying for the rapture and armageddon! :popcorn:

[Pachamama]

5. Not yet...but I'm sure they are hoping and crossing their fingers and

praying to Jeebus for it!

:popcorn:

[Jara sang]

2. Shepard is leading the flock to slaughter.

[bridgit]

3. GET OUT OF TOWN, WHO'DA THUNK IT!!!

[Canuckistanian]

4. The Middle East? No shit?

Who knew?

[Pachamama]

8. Yeah, as if Iraq didn't already count as "War in the Middle East"

Who knew is right...but I'm serious, when Shep said this, it was almost as if he wanted it to be the case...

[Canuckistanian]

12. The Rapture is nigh!

The prophecy has been fulfilled at last! (Um, excuse me I have to use the men's room before the rapturing starts)

[yorkiemommie1]

49. i did my nails last night

just like the gals on the Rapture Ready board. so i'm all ready for the big day, lol!

[Pachamama]

52. Thanks for the reminder....

Time to get a Mani-Pedi! :sarcasm:

[MissWaverly]

24. Of course, it's time for another Neocon War

Well, we really wanted an Iran war, but everybody said no, so I said, Let's get Israel to do
it, we don't like the fact that somebody (Hamas) we didn't like got elected anyway, start a big war, so we can wade in and be big heroes and stuff right before the elections so we win again
and get cool cash and neat rewards and stuff.

[Pachamama]

36. "Get Cool Cash and neat rewards and stuff"....

Your too funny MissWaverly....:hi: But sadly, behind your funny answer is too much truth about these crooks. They definetly want another war, want to have something to distract the masses (especially before the election in November) and as a bonus to get the War Machine working on more profits.

[MissWaverly]

44. thanks, maybe it won't fly this time

I am hoping that maybe the UN will step in, where has it been over the Iraq War, isn't this
why it was created in the first place, if they don't start acting like a world body, they
will have no credibility at all.

[KansDem]

They also said something about a big ship sinking in the North Atlantic

But it turned out to be a teaser with "details at 10"

[Solly Mack]

6. Wow. They're quick on the uptake aren't they?

[Pachamama]

9. I am just wondering how long before they say that Lebanon, Syria and Iran

are involved in this (and when the next attack occurs)...

:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

10. No doubt

Sometimes I'm just amazed...and not in a good way either

[Warren Stupidity]

11. That has already been stated.

The justification for initiating part two of the PNAC plan is on the table.

[Windy]

22. The adminstration has already said this

yes, the PNAC plan is going full steam ahead....

[Master Mahon]

7. "They don't like us anyhow, so let's drop the big one now"

:+

[ContraBass Black]

34. Who said that?

[The Magistrate]

39. It Is From An Excellent Song, Sir

By Mr. Randy Newman....

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

[gulliver]

13. Why would they be happy? It's their fault.

Their little idiot melted down the Middle East while they cheered him.

[The Stranger]

53. RAPTURE!!!!

[MrSlayer]

14. Yeah more than a thousand years ago.

Right on the ball those Fox people are.

[Deja Q]

15. Well, it does take them a while...

But nice to see they're catching up.


We'll doubtlessly get the solution about 100 years after it's been deployed.

[TwentyFive]

16. Another war? Bush must be shoring up his base for the election

The back wash crowd just loves this stuff.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. Hey, if we tell them the path to rapture is to go head first into

the ocean off the tallest cliff, you think they might listen?

[pointblank]

51. Well

If you could somehow sneak that into the bible, Im sure we'd have millions of people diving right in...hey wait a minute, thats actually a great idea...You mean to tell me we can manipulate paople's actions by just adding and removing stuff from the bible...

oh wait, the catholic church did that already back about 600 years or more ago

Darn, I thought I had a new idea


:sarcasm:

[originalpckelly]

18. The world will sure be nice without all these religious fundamentalists...

Won't it? I think I could get used to this whole Rapture thing.

[BlueManDude]

19. The RAPTURE is here - Praise Jesus. Repent now!!! n/t

[dave123williams]

20. They love war, because they profit so handsomely from it.

[Pachamama]

40. Faux news probably has a "War Room" that plots the graphics, the slogans &

which advertisers to be calling....yes, they do profit handsomely from terror and war, don't they?

[C_U_L8R]

21. Shepard is going to go blind

if he whacks it that much

[Pachamama]

38. Shep was probably more excited then ever - but maybe that is because Jeff

Gannon was in NY to be speaking to the Log Cabin Republicans this week.....

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

23. mmmmmmendtimes!!! I'm sure Faux's target demographic is super

excited!

[pitohui]

25. what was their first clue? EOM

.

[cantstandbush]

26. Reminds me of Bush saying about Iraq invasion: " War was thrust upon us."

Is there any hope for humankind?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

27. Damn. I missed it.

I've been watching MSNBC all day and nobody mentioned it.

Well, they are mostly bimbos anyway, They might not be able to read the monitors too good, ya know?

[ComerPerro]

28. They love it

[undeterred]

29. Is FREEDOM BREAKING OUT ALL OVER yet?

Aren't they supposed to be balanced and cover the good news too?

[uppityperson]

30. FOX is SLOWWWW, but they get there.

or do they not mean the war that Mr.bush declared 3+ yrs ago?

[tjwash]

31. The sad thing is, that it's probably news to your average Fox viewer.

nt

[RedEarth]

32. The End of Time people are getting very excited......the train is coming..

FOX is speaking to their base........(of idiots)

[blm]

33. Reminds me of that episode of Six Feet Under

with the blow up dolls ascending into the heavens. heh

[Terran1212]

35. God's chosen people are leading the way, right?

I think some of these people might seriously believe this is Biblical.

[Pachamama]

37. Yes, especially since this is taking place in the birthplace of Jeezus..

:eyes: They probably see this as code and messages from above that this is happening in Israel and the "holy land".....

[hatrack]

41. Further headlines from Fox tonight: "Wildfire!" "Korean Missile Threat"

I'd say they tend to, shall we say, overstate things just a bit.

Not that things in the ME AREN'T fucked up at the moment, God knows.

[Pachamama]

42. Couldn't agree with you more - Faux defintely hypes things, but actually

going so far as saying "War breaks out in the Middle East" is pretty dramatic and major....Actually stating that a "War" has broken out and stating it (about 4 times within a 20 minute period in between commercials) is a big friggin deal or is the most irresponsible statement that Faux has made to date.

I posted this original post for several reasons - One to inform the DU about what was going on in the Middle East and the other is to show how Faux would be spinning this for its "Rapture" ready crowd. And the final reason is to show that yes, the shit really is hitting the fan and that Shep is probably right - War has broken out and its going to get really, really bad.....and they know it and they are excited. And if folks didn't think things there are effed up now in the Middle East, they aint' seen nothing yet!!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

43. Sung to the happy tune of "June is busting out all over" ??

[Rex]

45. Ghouls, just like Rummy.

Sick bastards.

[Clark2008]

46. They're just now reporting this?

It's been going on for weeks... geesch.

It started with Israel bombing the Allah out of the Palestinian settlements, worked its way over to Lebanese Hezbollah who bombed Israel in retaliation and then kidnapped a soldier and then over to the bombing of the Beruit airport and the shutting off of ports by Israel.

Slow on the uptake, aren't they?

[butterfly77]

47. This is what they wanted....

and their commander and thief will take care of it, since he is so knowledgable :sarcasm: he is the protector of the world so they are in good hand with bushie.

[mikeytherat]

48. Somehow, they missed the last three years of war in Iraq

mikey_the_rat

[Roland99]

50. Uh, Shep? You're about 5 years behind the times.
