Roger Ailes Is a Self-Loathing Liberal

Roger Ailes, corpulent prick and president of Fox News, has come out of the closet as a liberal who opposes the war in Afghanistan and thinks wearing lapel pins to prove that you care about something is shallow.

In a 7-minute interview http://tv.nationalreview.com/uncommonknowledge/ with the National Review Online's Peter Robinson that was posted this morning, Ailes casually undermined the point of Fox News and acknowledged that much of what it peddles to "real Americans" in "the heartland" is just calculated rhetoric that he's not stupid enough to actually believe. The q-and-a is a maddening parade of hypocrisy and inconsistency, and demands a close reading. We'll start with the bit of video below, in which Ailes presents a cogent case for why it's unreasonable to infer from the lack of a pin signifying support a given cause on a person's lapel that the person therefore doesn't support said cause:


AILES: *****" I meet too many people...who want people to think that they care. They wear ribbons for various charity events. I try to contribute to charity I try to help people where I can, but I don't wear the pins. And so they assume that I don't care. Of course I care, but I don't think wearing the right pin makes me a caring person. I think whether I am or I'm not is in my heart."


AILES: *****"Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest, instead I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."


AILES: *****"I don't see myself at the Beverly Wilshire hotel or at Le Cirque here in New York. Those are people who aspire to different things—the chattering class."

1. It's too late, Roger. You're going straight to Hell.

2. I find it interesting that the Fox Channels (plural) foamed at the

mouth condemning Obama for not wearing a "Flag Pin".

3. Cue the brain parasite from the Simpsons.

Something has taken over this man's brain. Probably temporary.

4. And yet, he still allows the peddling of complete bullshit to continue.

he claims to be a "self loathing" liberal, but at heart, he's a greedy mother fucking republican.

Whatever he needs to get himself through the night, you know?
