Alfred Packered

I'm not sure how much I love it when this plan comes together.
[A]ccording to [a] Fairleigh Dickinson University’s latest PublicMind poll...“there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don’t watch any news at all”
FoxNews worse than ignorance, it's not just opinion, it's science! But there is more than just that.
"I don't think we have the right to Monday-morning quarterback the police," Bill O'Reilly said tonight, discussing the appalling use of pepper spray by UC Davis police on Friday. ...Megyn Kelly [told] O'Reilly, that pepper spray is "a food product, essentially"
Yeah, that's right, we have no right to question the actions of authorities, not questioning authorities is what makes slogans like "freedom" and "liberty" worth believing.

To question the police is to embrace the socialist notion you shouldn't be pepper-sprayed by them repeatedly, based upon your political orientation.

Besides, pepper-spraying isn't really about the abuse of civil protesters -- particularly the non-FoxNews viewing ones.

It is about seasoning.

The malicious ignorance of Fox News would have to be diluted by a factor of several millions to be undetectable by a panel of listeners.

We shouldn't blame Megyn's mind for wandering in the direction of food product when in the presence of Bill-O.

And people wonder how the Nazis made it. They were about establishing order and restoring traditional values. And, no questioning was allowed.

Any doubt that people like O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter would be good little Nazi bootlickers and obedient marchers?

Oops, I think I violated a intertube tradition.

So let's waterboard Megyn Kelly. Afer all, water is a food product, essentially.

Well, who doesn't pepper-spray their pizza? Goes so well with the tomato paste the gov't claims is a "vegetable".


(It's actually a fruit. As someone said, "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in fruit salad.")

The people who watch this crap are total fools.

If pepper spray WAS a food product, this cartoon would not be funny.

O'Reilly is the Frank Burns of TV blowhards --
"Unless we all conform, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free."
