From Obama vs. FOX by Frank Schaeffer on ZNet:
Here’s a sample (compiled with the help of Media Matters and the online magazine Crooks and Liars) of just a small stock of the incendiary rhetoric and bare-faced lies your money pays for.
Fox News host Glenn Beck has:
# said President Obama has, “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture,”
# flirted with the idea that FEMA is building detention camps,
# suggested that President Obama is purposefully “tanking” the economy to force young people to work for AmeriCorps,
# said that Obama is “moving us away from our republic and into a system of fascism,”
# stated: “We are a country that is headed towards socialism, totalitarianism, beyond your wildest imagination…”
# says Obama “Wants you to work as a bureaucratic slave to government.”
# said: “President Obama, why don’t you just set us on fire? For the love of Pete, what are you doing? Do you not hear — do you not hear the cries of people who are saying stop? We would like some sanity in our country for a second! We didn’t vote to lose the republic.”
# ran several segments, including one on his radio show, promoting the concept of the secession of Texas from the Union,
# promotes “one world government” paranoia, including a supposed plot to put us all on a global currency controlled by the New World Order,
# warned his audience about Obama’s supposed secret plot to grab our guns,
# speculated that it is actually liberal “political correctness” that inspires right-wingers to go on murderous killing rampages…
Does Obama hate white people? Was your application to AmeriCorps denied too? If Texas secedes, can we keep Austin? What do you think?
