A disgrace? Really FOX. Do you need a clue that you world of lying is dying.
FOX so wrong so often, lead by Hannity, it keeps its nose up non-reality's bung hole on most everything. Herman Cain was a FOX believer-sadly others will meet Mr. Physics too. Reality will take its toll as true believers, unfortunately, are taken to their graves.
Right-wing media was quick to criticize Obamas eulogy, claiming the former president had politicized the event. Some conservative media personalities mocked Obama and derided his speech as a campaign event for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Even following a solemn funeral in which this countrys first Black president praised the legacy of a champion for civil rights, right-wing media continued to demonstrate its shameless hatemongering.

(32,017 posts)He believed in politics as a civil means of fighting for justice for the people. A eulogy to John Lewis that WASNT political, would be an insult to him and to his legacy.
FU Fox!

(11,258 posts)I try to minimize cursing only because that's the best way to make it count when something is so over the top awful or offensive. I think trying to attack Obama by whitewashing John Lewis's legacy (both literally and figuratively) definitely counts!
Cheers to you as well!

(11,692 posts)Bush (8 f'n years) now Trump have left a legacy of wars, 9/11, war crimes, economic distress, and outright lawlessness. Reagan was a fabrication of the fevered minds of Neoliberalism.
Obama is a great one.
