One Fiasco Isn’t Enough for the Bush-Fox Noise Gang

by Chuck Thompson

Steve Benen, a freelance writer/researcher and creator of The Carpetbagger Report, wrote in a recent post, Bush’s hyperbolic rhetoric about a “nuclear holocaust” in the Middle East is reminiscent of his pre-war claims that “we couldn’t wait for actual proof to justify an invasion, because the ’smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud.’”

Fox Noise is joining in, so if you weren’t scared when Fox began beating the drums of an invasion into Iraq, perhaps you should be now. As the saying goes, once fooled, shame on you. Twice fooled, shame on me.

    FOX hardly needed to re-script anything, just change a few “q”s to “n”s from the original draft. Jeez. And people buy into this crap which, I guess, is why Bushco has been able to make such a mess of this country. And the world.

    “And people buy into this crap which, I guess, is why Bushco has been able to make such a mess of this country. And the world.”

    Yes they surely do buy the crap that Fox spreads.. Anyone who believes Fox hasn’t had a huge influence in shaping attitudes is fooling themselves. And people who are influenced by Fox deny it of course.

About Left News and Views

As a life-long progressive, I have always supported those whose goals are to promote social justice and work for political reform. I believe America should work with other nations to promote peace in the world rather than bludgeon those who would disagree.

My goal in Left News and Views is to expose abuses of our rights as citizens, spotlight hypocrisy in government, and most important in today's world, push to get us out of Iraq and bring our troops home.
