9/11 was great: now you share our agenda

[Amaurote]

Outrageous, isn't it?

But that is how Fox approached yesterday (http://mediamatters.org/static/video/foxandfriends-200507070004.mov)

[JakeD]

This (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161750,00.html) little load of bullshit from John Gibson was nauseating enough in itself.

I was almost waiting for someone to say "Today, we are all Londoners."

...Did someone actually say that?

[Amaurote]

Unbelievable, isn't it? (http://mediamatters.org/static/video/dayside-200507070007.mov)

[JakeD]

I can't watch videos here at work, no speakers/headset on my computer. :/ But if his statements and their general political leanings have anything to do with the responses this time around, it's bound to be nauseating to some extent.

Fair and balanced...what a crock of shit.

Addendum: Forgot about this little nugget of retardation.

"It's like I said, 40 people dead, 150 seriously wounded, 1,000 wounded out of over a million people in that transit tube. It's not a successful terrorist attack, folks. They didn't succeed in doing anything." - Rush Limbaugh

Transcript to both clips, Jake:

(1) KILMEADE: And he made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 --believe it or not-- was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it's important for them all to be together.[b] I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.

KILMEADE: Yeah.

(2) HUME: You know, the market was down. It was down yesterday, and you know, you may have had some bargain-hunting going on. I mean, my first thought when I heard -- just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, "Hmmm, time to buy." Others may have thought that as well. But you never know about the markets. But obviously, if the markets had behaved badly, that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm about it. But there has been a lot of reassurance coming, particularly in the way that -- partly in the way the Brits handled all this, but also in the way that officials here handled it. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here, although there's no indication that we here had any advance warning.

What a FUCKING ASSHOLE!!! I wish someone would blow HIS ass to bits & save us ALL from further insufferable brainless bullshit. I'd LOVE to call him & tell him to just go sit in the corner with his oxycontin & STFU.

[Bassmama]

What a bunch of FUCKWADS! They actually sound like little cheerleaders 'rah, rah, rah' ing for their favorite cause. Lookie, everybody- Bush was right- so, now we've gotten over 50 people killed in London, we can ALL go to war.

Shit- I'm moving to the Caribbean. I may not be able to avoid the end of the world when it comes, but I'll sure as hell enjoy myself until then......

[Amaurote]

Uh-oh, there's more:

EMERSON: The BBC should -- in certain respects, the BBC almost operates as a foreign registered agent of Hezbollah and some of the other jihadist groups.

Journalists, like the American Library Association, should be a counter-terrorist vanguard (http://mediamatters.org/items/200507110001)

[Sterling]

I'm just waiting for someone (probably an American) to start referring to it as "7/7", and that's when I'll know that terrorism has well and truly jumped the shark.
