Idiot At Fox Degrades Sexual Abuse Victims With Her Politicking

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Just about every line of this Fox News clip is hilarious. It's hard to top the opening line, with its incredibly twisted take on why a government inquiry is going on. (They "may make a play [for a company] if it doesn't like the way it's doing business. Huh?" Right-- we should have just let Enron and WorldCom get away with everything-- got it, Fox.)

Then this bonehead comes on and, at the end of this video, makes an analogy involving sexual abuse that's so out of left right field, it's enough to offend anyone who's ever been sexually abused. Congrats, Fox, a new low in political blows.

Yep, keep thinking that those execs weren't LEGALLY entitled to their bonuses.  Keep thinking that effing Chris Dodd, senator from the state where most of those execs live, wasn't the guy who MADE IT LEGAL.  Keep thinking that effing Barney potatoes-in-his-mouth Frank didn't sour the entire real estate market from top to bottom by trying to game it in favor of people who could never afford a house on their fast-food burger-maker hourly wage.  Would you like your Kool-aid with or without hemlock.  Personally I'd go with.  Might takes the edge off.

 

Editor's Note: Thank you for adding to the discussion. Obviously, your homophobic and utterly uninformed remarks really add something to our argument. I mean... Fox's argument, of course.

Personally, I think anyone who uses such hack metaphors as "drinking the Kool-aid" discounts himself from any debate. Automatically.

I think it's interesting that Fox decided to make this an anti-new administration issue rather than a states-rights vs federal rights issue, something I though was a Republican concern.  If they were to do that, they would have to engage the issue of corporate personhood and that would run counter to the GOP's apparent desire for an paradise of unregulated business.
