Fox News Reporter: Wake Up And Fight The Fascism In Our Country

[Canuckistanian]

Overt-stimulated, perhaps, by the Tea Party surrounding him, Fox News reporter Cody Willard called the recently passed stimulus package fascist, and urged viewers to "wake up and start fighting the fascism" that is coming from the U.S. government.

"You got to love this one right here," he said, pointing to a sign held by a young 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?"

Fox News has come under some heat from progressive news outlets for ostensibly promoting the Tea Party movement, helping elevate a somewhat confined topic into a political phenomenon. Clips like these don't do much to dissuade that notion.

1. Fair and Balanced my ass.

3. It's time to make the FCC put an end to this crap

Fox News is violating the public trust and I'm sick of it.

4. Where the hell was Faux with "fighting the fascism" for the last 8 YEARS? n/t

13. Right-wingers are often grounded in psychological projection:

Imputing to their enemies that which they themselves are guilty of, unconsciously fearful of, and/or more comprehensively represent.

[Uncle Joe]

5. I agree with the title, people and businesses should turn off FAUX "News."

They've betrayed the American People's trust and are nothing but pure, hate filled propaganda.

6. I think I'm starting to understand the Faux schedule:

Mondays: Obama is a fascist
Tuesdays: Obama is a socialist
Wednesdays: Obama is a fascist
Thursdays: Obama is a socialist
Fridays: TGIF! Obama is a fascist and a socialist!
Saturday: A white woman is missing somewhere
Sundays: Is Obama Muslim?

[Schema Thing]

7. He better hope no one takes him too seriously.

Cuz his ilk would be the first to go.

8. I saw that. it was jaw dropping stuff.

[get the red out]

10. Do they attend college before Fox?

One minute Obama is a socialist, the next he is a Fascist, and in an hour he will be a Communist. Did these people ever get enough of an education to realize that these are not synonyms? You can't exchange these terms. I am sure they don't even know what a Fascist really is, or was.

12. I don't think he understands what fascism is.

If he did, his first step towards fighting it would be to leave his network.

What idiots.

These people have no idea what they're "protesting".
