Important things to watch, could Fox be nurturing another McVey?
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 04:59 AM by MichaelHarris
I remember, time and time again, hearing O'reilly and the rest of the Fox News right-wing water carriers go on and on about how they are fair and balanced. They have often railed against "left-wing" websites and what they see as hate speech from the various posters. Most of us can remember at least one story of how The Huffington Post or the Daily KOS had upset Mr O'Reilly. He saw hate and threats around every corner, the websites were attacked even when the moderators deleted so-called hate speech.

Here we are, days after an historic election. How is Fox doing controlling it's "hate speech"? These posts were taken from the comments section of many different news stories, they all basically end with the same theme. I'll post, you decide. Hopefully we are not the only ones watching the Fox News comment section, hate and anger are born in many different places, hopefully the hate and anger born at Fox News doesn't turn into something more.

For your reading amazement, remember, most of these posts had little to do with the story they were commenting on:

"YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE THAT OBAMA WILL BAN ALL THE GUNS HE CAN WITH THE HELP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL COMMUNIST! I will never give up my Guns! I wouldn't advise anyone to try and take them either! I am an EX COp and ARMY Special Forces and I love my Guns" Nov 7, 2008 7:32:42 PM

"Mr O zip code in Illinois is 60606.. think im kidding. check it for your self then go to revelations and read about the third seal. Its the black horse coming and bringing famine and death. Go to the fourth seal to see what is next. Stock up on food and if you legally own weapons, make them secure." Nov 7, 2008 6:42:06 PM

"People, do not be confused when checking the White House is not the ZOO is just Monkey Obama and his family in the White House." Nov 7, 2008 7:52:55 PM

"We have our Lady Sarah, God Bless her and see her in 2012!!! And God Bless Monkey black Obama, Monkey Michelle and little monkies obama' daughters" Nov 7, 2008 7:44:30 PM

"I am proud to say that we in Kentucky didn't vote for the anti-christ! He is not our President!" Nov 7, 2008 7:31:12 PM

"Well, there you go, he's picking on a white women, the wife of a man he can never be an equal of. He's going to destroy this nation. He will continue to separate us and it will be black against white which is what he wants. I did not start this. I was keeping an open mind until now. As extreme as he is in his radical left beliefs, I must now move from the middle and go to a place far to the right." Nov 7, 2008 10:58:21 PM

"Obama has already shown his arrogance, after using the white man to get him elected, then taking a cheap shot at an ailing Nancy Reagan, how sad is that?" Nov 7, 2008 10:38:41 PM

"He is not fit to be called an "AMERICAN" let alone our president. His supportrts will continue to make excuses for him and stand behind him no matter what he does or does not do. Our country and it's people will be lucky to survive a year with him in office let alone four years." Nov 7, 2008 9:59:31 PM

"99.9% of black people voted for Obama. If you wanted proof that Blacks are the most racist group in America, you now have it.
I hope every one of you stupid caucasians who voted for this fabulous actor, end up in your Land Rovers on welfare and food stamps. That’s what you deserve."
November 5th, 2008 at 10:58 am

"I want ma chec and ma caddy. Thak u osamba and beladen" November 5th, 2008 at 6:39 pm

"A shout out to Osama Bin Laden,
Dear terrorist leader,
Please look at the Presidential election map before you attack us again..
Please hit the blue areas first.
Thank you"


"God allowed Obama to be elected in God’s grand scheme of things. I don’t understand it, but God’s ways are higher than my ways. I hope that this puts an end to the injustice that was done during the slave years in the minds of blacks across this country." November 6th, 2008 at 12:35 am

"YES AMERICA HAS DONE IT!!! We have elected the first terrorist to the White House and capped the American Dream at $250000 (or was that $120000)!!! Please support our troops they need us more then ever!!!" November 5th, 2008 at 1:00 am

"read your Bible if you have one! Everything this radical stands for is against God’s word, which I might add, will prevail! I would vote for a black man or women who is a christian and aligns himself with God’s word. YOU all will be sorry. He will never be my president." November 5th, 2008 at 3:46 pm

"Hey Obama lover. This pig didn't tell the truth. She tried to scare the McCain supporters. Traitors like you along with ACORN, bial media and illegal foreign financial contributors have now ruined a once free country. Hope you are satisfied. You will now suffer with everyone else." Nov 8, 2008 1:34:06 AM

"My husband and I have been reloading ammo for months... since Obama won the nomination. We have already seen an increase in cost for bullets, powder, and even primers." Nov 8, 2008 2:07:19 AM

"Too bad we can't just take our guns, move to texas, and secede from the union. Win-Win for everyone." Nov 8, 2008 12:22:49 AM

"Well, the NRA and many other groups tried to warn you that if you voted for Obama you would lose you right to own a gun. He won't create strict gun laws! But simply abolish the 2nd Amendment and confiscate your guns." Nov 8, 2008 12:17:15 AM

"I bought a semi-automatic pistol today. Will buy an AR-15 and ammo next payday if I can find one. Obama/Reid/Pelosi will try to take our 2nd Amendment rights away." Nov 7, 2008 7:34:12 PM


When will Fox delete these examples of hate? I'm waiting.

1. Has Obama enacted any of his "far left" agenda yet?
What do these kooks know that we don't? How can they be so sure that Obama will "take guns away"?

Oh, I would love that. They'd all starve within a month and then we could re-open it as a scorpion and dirt preserve.

4. Typical Faux "News".......
Nothing good will ever come from Faux Noise, all they do is breed hate. They claim to be fair and balanced but are the furthest thing from that being that they are the most bias "News" network out there. I doubt Faux will EVER delete those posts, why would they? They say basically the same thing that those people do but in a more subtle way.

7. The war in Iraq has probably already generated another Timothy McVeigh regardless of Fox News.
Most of those posts on Fox News are by people who are relatively harmless.

The ones who pose a greater threat are the ones who have both the skills and the determination to carry out an attack.

The military turned McVeigh into a war machine. It gave him the skills. He was trained to kill and destroy. That's the reason why soldiers exist at all. He then blew a gasket. He malfunctioned and identified fellow Americans as the enemy.

I guess for McVeigh, the war never ended. It just came home with him.

8. And still Democratic office-holders
continue to make appearances on and be interviewed on Fox. Thankfully, we still have free speech in this country (despite the efforts of the Bush administration and rightwing entities like Fox News) but Democrats need to boycott the Fox network. Ostracism and denial of oxygen.

I almost feel like starting a post a day at Fox come January 20 . . . It's now January 23 - it's been three days since Obama took office - how's that gun of yours!?! :rofl: You still got it?
