No More Wimps Representing Democrats On FOX
No More Wimps Representing Democrats On FOX

Adam Green


I’m generally anti-tirade, but I detest that millions of people watch wimps and incompetent debaters represent Democratic / progressive positions on FOX.

When will the progressive movement object in earnest to the likes of Alan Colmes – who Robert Greenwald’s film Outfoxed rightly points out is a weak, “squirrelly” faux-Democrat? FOX leaves the hapless Colmes out to whither against a polished, in-the-loop, smoothly-deceptive right-winger, Sean Hannity.

Friday night’s Hannity & Colmes introduced America to yet another weak, incompetent debater: Rep. Bob Filner, a Democrat I never heard of from California and hope never to hear from again.


FRIDAY NIGHT’S OUTRAGE:

HANNITY: When George Bush said to America that Saddam's WMDs and nuclear capability are a threat to the United States, are you saying the president lied?

FILNER: He knew that was not the case. The CIA knew it was not the case. And they just kept pressuring the CIA to say that.

HANNITY: Well, I didn't just quote George Bush. I just quoted John Kerry in the election. That was John Kerry who said that.

FILNER: Well, John Kerry was...

HANNITY: Did John Kerry mislead America, sir, or did you vote for John Kerry?

1. Knowing that Fox News Crap (FNC) manipulated that news
Maybe they bring in people who say they are Democrats or progressives or liberals and are just Republicans who walk into the RNC talking points.

2. You don't work for Fox
if you have any integrity or self respect. If Alan Colmes had either, he would have left long ago. Even if it's only for the money, you don't get anywhere near Sean Hannity. Wasn't Hannity arrested for publically inserting hot dogs up his butt?

3. I don't know, but I'd like to get arrested for inserting my foot up his
ass! Then beating him around the head and neck with a lead pipe for an hour and a half or so.
