The Fox News folks are getting out of control, and working their viewers into a deranged frenzy.

Here's Fox News reporter Cody Willard attending the fox-promoted anti-tax "tea party", calling for the American people to "rise and fight fascism". Here's a quick transcript:

"You got to love this one right here," pointing to a sign held by a girl. "'I'm only eleven and deep in debt.' She had to pay for the $160 billion Republican stimulus package that came out in 2007. Now she is paying for the $800 billion Republican Democrat fascist stimulus package that is coming out this time. Guys, when are we going to wake up and start fighting the fascism that seems to be permeating this country?"

This is beyond irresponsible. This is irrefutable PROOF that Fox News is behind the hysteria, reveling in it, and working their viewers to take some questionable "action".

1. Hundreds? HAHAHAHA. FAIL!

[chemp]

2. that crowd!

Did you see the shot behind the news reader?
He said thousands and it looked like maybe 100!

Then there is the "Reporter". Long haired kook from the Faux out of business channel.

They need serious meds.

3. He really needs a tax cut, so he can get a haircut

That is who they have on Fox Business news? I thought it was just the coke dealer and his skank hosting a show from a bar.

9. As someone that sports long hair I don't see the correlation.

His hair has nothing to do with his radical ideology. A hair style is just a hair style. I have long hair and I keep it clean and brushed. I don't go around screaming about the oxymoron that is left-wing fascism. I work a professional job, own a home, take care of my family, and... pay my taxes.

10. Sure you do hippie

:hi:

It is just that you don't see hair like that on TV very often and certainly not from the financial crowd let alone on Fox News

4. Incredible, he uses Fascism and then defines the Bush/Fox TV relationship in the same breath

Gosh darn it! If they couldn't have Fascism then they will accuse everyone else of Fascism because they no longer have any power to be Fascists! Unless you count inciting riot, civil discontent, and fomenting desperate people to do stupid thing in the name of some nebulous change they can never define.

It's the old, shoot first, declare martial law after we win, cleanse the ethical ones, then rebuild the status quo, "For your own good".

5. "Fight the fa --"

I love them cutting him off at the end there. It really sounded like that anchor was thrilled beyond words to talk to Cody after that line. :rofl:

6. I should have shown up with a sign, "I am in the 95% that had a tax cut. Why am I here?"

I could have walked around all day yelling about how my taxes went down, but I am mad as hell because Beck told me to be.

15. that's some quality journalism right there

even the anchor seemed a bit embarrassed to be a part of it. When he said "thanks" at the end you could tell he thought the "report" was idiotic.
