A Very Fox News Thanksgiving: Bash Your Stupid, Obnoxious, Liberal Relatives

On this traditional day of unity, family, and the fellowship of all people, Fox News has embarked on a media blitz more in keeping with the hostility and boorishness that is the hallmark of American conservatism.

On the Fox News community website, Fox Nation, they have taken great umbrage at reports that a Democratic organization is encouraging people to take the opportunity during Thanksgiving to have conversations with their friends and family about the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) and rebut the many myths they may have picked up from dishonest sources like Fox News.

The Fox Nationalists featured a headline story criticizing Organizing For America’s lighthearted “Have the Talk” website for “pushing turkey table talking points.” However, they must have forgotten their own efforts to do the very same thing, only more often, more politicized, and more insulting.

Fox Nation

If you haven’t already got your copy of the acclaimed ebook,
Fox Nation vs. Reality, this might be a good time.

The OFA campaign is merely a suggestion that people discuss matters of importance in a civilized way. They emphasize that the point is to convey that you care about the health of those you love. Contrast that with the tone of Fox News conservatives who portray liberal relatives as stupid, obnoxious, and something you must “survive.” The language in the articles includes additional vile and childish statements that demean their supposedly loved ones who “won’t stop spouting vapid Democratic talking points,” and who should “keep your stupid mouth shut,” because “they aren’t buying OFA’s ObamaCare baloney.”

Now, isn’t that in keeping with the spirit of the season? And somehow, these hate-filled right-wingers think that they have a monopoly on patriotism, traditional holidays, and family values.

The hypocrisy of the right continues to demonstrate that it has no bounds. They will shamelessly smear their perceived enemies for sins they themselves commit repeatedly. They even show contempt for their own families. And while invoking the name of God on holidays that they regard as sacred, they brazenly lie, disparage their neighbors, and seek to divide the nation on the one day that most epitomizes its mission of unity. Happy Holidays from Fox News.

  1. This is why we did NOT go to Ohio for Thanksgiving, and why we will spend only one night there next month…the racist jokes, the lies, the Fox talking points…all sickening to anyone with a brain. They pretend to be such wonderful Christians, who care about their (se, it’s THEIRS) country, when in reality they want a white, evangelical, militaristic, angry police state. Happy Holidays to liberals everywhere, and also to any rational GOP members.

    • GOOD FOR YOU! I’d rather stick pins in my eye.

      When I had a room for rent in my home last month, I ran an ad that said,
      “No Pets, No Smokers, No Drugs, No Republicans!”

      Honestly, I WOULD NOT be able to handle hearing any of that bullshuvick in my own home.

  2. A bunch of losers on the wrong side of history. No one in my family argues with me because most of them agree with me and the ones who don’t have been cut of at the knees in the past and know better. Their arguments are always a recitation of rw talking points and have no basis in reality. It’s pretty easy debunking their deluded claims after a while even they know their full of shit!

  3. Now we get to find out how big a hypocrite you are. This is an article about an email that went out from BarackObama.com which instructed readers on how to argue over Thanksgiving dinner about Obamacare which as we all know has been a total embarrassment to the democratic party.

    wnd.com/2013/11/obama-fight-with-family-at-thanksgiving/

    WND countered with answers to the white house talking points liberals were being asked to regurgitate to their relatives.

    • I’m a hypocrite? Is that your little “I know you are but what am I” retort.

      As for your link to the disreputable WorldNetDaily article, it said nothing that contradicts what I wrote above. The main point of my article is that Fox News complained about OFA offering facts to convey in the event that a relative brings up ObamaCare, but Fox did the same thing they were complaining about only in a nastier way. The WND article contained no evidence of liberals being as hostile and crude as the Fox conservatives. Liberals did not refer to their relatives as stupid or obnoxious, as conservatives did.

      And WND’s “answers” did not counter anything because they were mostly bullshit. I’m not going to go into it because it is way off the topic of this article. But people can make up their own minds.

    • WND ? Now there’s a source you can trust !!

  4. “Bullshit” = facts Mark can’t refute so he’d rather skip them.

    If you don’t like people being hostile or crude, you must have been appalled when Obama told his supporters to argue with their family and neighbors and get in their faces.



    The real issue though is that Obamacare is a damned joke. Hundreds of millions for a website that doesn’t work and a president who lied about whether or not you could keep your plan and your doctor. All the spin in the world isn’t going to save this one for the libs. You own it. Only Dems voted for it. The American people getting the cancellation notices or the rate hikes can’t be told not to believe their own eyes. Frankly, I’m enjoying the hell out of watching Obamacare implode. It’s one thing to put pie in the sky ideas down on paper; it’s quite another to actually implement something.

    • Oh, so you’re reaching back to a 2008 campaign speech where all Obama did was was to fire up a crowd of supporters and never insulted anyone? Typical right-wing idiocy and false equivalence.

      As for ObamaCare, it has already helped millions of Americans who were never able to get insurance before because it cost too much or they had preexisting conditions. It’s saved senior billions of dollars on prescriptions. It’s saved lives by making preventative screenings available. The whining of teabagging birthers like you is evidence that your right-wing philosophy has failed and you’re terrified that the nation is going to appreciate the benefits of ObamaCare and recognize the GOP as the party that tried to kill it (and did nothing else).

      Even if 3 or 4 million people get bad deals, it doesn’t compare to the 48 million who will have access to health care for the first time. And the problems of the other 3 or 4 million will also get fixed (with no help from the GOP). So don’t pretend to be concerned about people when your solution is to repeal everything and throw 48 million people off of their news plans and make people who have cancer, diabetes, and other preexisting conditions uninsurable again.

      And it doesn’t surprise me that you’re “enjoying the hell” out watching bad things happen. That’s the conservative way. You want the country to fail and you get a perverse pleasure from the suffering of others.

      • Wow, he got under your skin fast…and By the way, the ACA isn’t giving people healthcare – it’s providing a place to purchase health insurance – it has nothing to do with healthcare. It’s a handout for insurance companies – requiring by law that everyone buy insurance – corporatism at its best. Here is a prediction – health care will get more expensive and drop in quality, insurance companies will continue to run healthcare into the ground – thanks Mr. President.

        • A “handout” to insurance companies? Hardly. Our insurance company had to reimburse some of our premiums due to the ACA. How is that a handout? The ACA is helping millions who were previously uninsured. That is a fact, not speculation. As for your prediction, information from the CBO indicates that the Affordable Care Act will lower health care costs in America and raise the quality of care.

          • And BHO said if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance – so I guess these people never lie or misrepresent – my faith in political leaders was shattered some time ago, I guess you’re just haven’t gotten there yet. You’ll wake up eventually and things like the CBO will not hold sway – except for the permanently asleep. You need to open your eyes to the lies you’ve been told – and yes, he lied to you and everyone else.

            • Steve – I’ve had HC coverage for 20 years thru various HMO’s thru my employer and I’ve had to change Dr’s, clnics, hospitals and pharmacies at least 4-5 times over those years based on what my employer decided to do. Get over this “I wanna keep my Dr”. Your current Dr is one of many and all are competent enough to serve your needs. Even a Dr the graduated in the bottom of their class is still smarter than the people like you who are using that as a talking point.

            • So many excuses – I didn’t claim anything – the president did, so stop defending the lie. Yes, you may be correct in your comment, but it doesn’t change the fact that BHO stated exactly that and it wasn’t true. Accept it – he lied to you and everyone else, it’s indisputable.

  5. By the way, liberals are both stupid and obnoxious. If Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, or George W. Bush had made any of these idiotic statements, the left-wing media would have been all over it. But since these incredible displays of stupidity were made by fellow liberals, the mainstream media ignored them.

    As for crude, who will ever forget the liberal at Occupy Wall Street defecating on a cop car or the group at the same location chanting “yes we can have sex with animals”? So far, they haven’t had to set up a special tent at a Tea Party event for women who’ve been sexually assaulted. There was however such a tent at OWS. Women who had been assaulted at OWS were encouraged not to tell the media or the police. The park service in D.C. will tell you that when conservatives hold an event, the ground are cleaner when they leave than before they arrived. Liberals on the other hand leave the grounds filthy. That’s the liberal mentality. That entitlement view that it’s the government’s job to clean up after me. James Dellingpole got it right when he said that liberalism is a case of arrested psychological development. You’re all stuck in adolescence. Those magic years when you think you know everything and also think you’re entitled to everything.

    Back to crude:
    Michael more ran those really nice ads during 2012 of old people using disgusting language. Then there was the global warming commercial in which any kid who didn’t believe in global warming was blown up. The ad contained images of huge slabs of human flesh hitting desktops as other children looked on in horror.

    American Liberals are the most obnoxious, disgusting people on the planet. Sub-human in fact. If you want to chastise people for being obnoxious or crude, I would suggest that you start with white, American liberals.

    • You really are trying to be the reincarnation of the repulsive Andrew Breitbart, aren’t you. All you can do is insult people and focus on unrelated things in an attempt to change the subject because you’re incapable of having a civil, substantive discourse. And when you resort to calling fellow citizens “sub-human” you reveal everything that anyone needs to know about you.

      p.s. Your hostility is not welcome here. This website is not a platform for your vile hostility and lies. If you can’t stay on topic and communicate in a civil manner your comments will not be allowed.

    • Although I’m sympathetic to your feelings that Libs feel they can insult conservatism in any/every way conceivable and then be outraged when it comes back their way, it’s best if we try not to devolve into hatred. These parties (repubican/democrat) have been cultivating this for years, dividing the people, which has resulted in this anger between us. I despise leftism as much as anyone, but letting that become hatred for people who don’t agree with me is not a good place to be. This is their safe place where they can say practically everything/anything against the right and have it supported by their fellow lefties – it’s theraputic for them, let them have it.

  6. Bottom line: The ACA is a train wreck. It need sto be dumped into the ash heap of history ASAP. No amount of spin can change that.

    Having said that, the notion of either side dialing up political debate during holiday gatherings is a total turnoff. Let’s all just eat and laugh and watch football, for cryin’ out loud.

    • Never mind.I lost interest in commenting. Oh yeah to Scott,By George,I think you’ve got it.Arguing with a conservative is a waste of time. Most are allergic to reason and common sense. The Pats played lousy and still managed to win. Fire one up and relax, for Cat’s sake.

  7. Hmmm…Uncle Jake, the right-wing spewing Teabilly, couldn’t come this year. He’s in jail for dragging a .50 cal machine gun to a wedding.

    Pity. I had some special dressing made to shut him up. Ipecac is wonderful stuff. It can save lives and your sanity, Hannity!

  8. Mark cites WND. Nice. Tin foil hat crowd. I enjoy WND. Good laughs.
