Fox news is calling this post about Dick Cheney "vile"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Eman Abdelhadi is an assistant professor in the University of Chicago's Department of Comparative Human Development.

"Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground... I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death," she posted to her Bluesky account early Tuesday morning.

3. Fox News is cordially invited to...

F.O.A.D.

6. But yeah.........

That's Fox's schtick.............praise law breakers, honor those who prioritize torture, speak no derogatory remarks about a person who ;lies us into a war...........I remember 2003 all too well. At one time that year, Colin Powell was the most admired black man in the USA, after they convinced him to lie at the U.N....Rev. Al Sharpton rose to the top.................probably very galling to Mr. Powell. Cheney ruined lots of lives. Let's just not forget that. NO, I don't hope he rests in peace.........

4. I don't know....but...I think a more measured statement in the face of comparative human development might have been the ...

wiser course…..

[Blues Heron]

8. she measured each word quite well, forming a very very accurate statement

[Ninga]

11. Well we don't know how measured and careful she was. I agree it was accurate. But her employer may not agree.

I am retired and do not have a title, or report to anyone who may object my speech. If she would have put out that statement as a private citizen, without her job title, then I applaud her. I’m just wondering if the shoe will drop that’s all.

13. Trump regularly calls people every name in the book

And gets away with it

[WestMichRad]

31. Your comment deserves a sarcasm tag.

Or should that be sarchasm?

[Solly Mack]

5. I agree with the statement.

Well, I don't buy into hell but, otherwise...

[gopiscrap]

7. this guy is absolutely right

[BaronChocula]

14. This WOMAN's right

And FOX can kiss my ass too!

[calimary]

17. And mine!

9. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it. Lord Acton

[Botany]

10. Speaking of vile ..

[kimbutgar]

12. If we survive this reign of right wing terror history will not be kind to Fox and will be remembered as an evil network

That tried to destroy our democracy with lies and false rhetoric.

[twodogsbarking]

15. That is the brutal truth.

[Fil1957]

16. This is actually good news. It means the post got on Fox, rather than being ignored which is the usual case...

[calimary]

18. There is that.

[totodeinhere]

19. Cheney, Kissinger and so many others lived lives of luxury

and never paid for their crimes.

[Bev54]

20. To be fair, I find Fox news vile on a daily basis.

[sunflowerseed]

21. The truth is vile and so was he!

[Torchlight]

22. His legacy is, at best, dishonesty and self-interest at the expense of the nation

At worst (and I think I'm not too far off base here), he was flirting with classically-defined heresy by invoking his deity-of-convenience as authority for his actions.

I imagine one of her idiot critics will use the lazy "this makes us look as bad as them!" schtick in an attempt see her gone

[Jimvanhise]

23. THAT'S ODD

In 2002 Fox News was the biggest cheerleader for the Iraq war, questioning the patriotism of anyone who opposed it. While there were retired military people who opposed the invasion of Iraq, Fox only had Hollywood celebrities on to oppose the war, making it appear that no one of consequence was against it. Kurt Vonnegut opposed the war and when he died they presented a mocking obituary of him for being anti-Iraq. Years later Fox hosts would casually admit that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake but wouldn't admit that the US was lied into the war with claims that Sadam Husein was behind 9/11 when in fact he had nothing to do with it (The Bush administration never actually said he was behind 9/11, they just implied it). When Dick Cheney was told at the time that many Americans opposed the war in Iraq, he replied, "So what?" It was Rumsfeld who claimed the war would be over in six months. Dick Cheney did a lot of harm to America.

30. He did a f***ing f*** of a lot of damage.

Cheney betrayed the US for himself and his corporate pals. Trump betrayed the US for himself and Putin. Birds of prey of a feather.

[Martin68]

24. Fox has never ben comfortable with the truth. They also insist, for liability purposes, that they are an entertainment

organization, not engaged in journalism or reporting

[hadEnuf]

25. Honestly,

who gives a SHIT what Fox news thinks.

[Warpy]

26. Oh, he faced consequences

as he grew weaker and his lungs filled with fluid and slowly drowned him. He felt it all slipping away, all his money, all the power he amassed, his ability to irder thousands of people bombed and killed just because his shoelace b4oke that morning or maybe his toast was cold or something else had ruined his whole day. All of it was slipping through his grasp. There are few reprieves from death and no commutations and we leave all that we were in this life behind us and to men who must be rulers, that is hell.

27. Cheney killed up to one million Iraqs.

Dropped depleted uranium bombs on Bagdad, a city with 50% women and children.

The slaughter of the poorly trained Iraqi soldiers was like killing baby seals according to
one observer.

28. No lie detected in what Dr. Abdelhadi wrote

[samsingh]

29. if trump posted it, fox would proudly promote it
