Upon reading this article the Fox Nationalists rated it as <em>&#8220;Funny.&#8221;<\/em> That is about as repulsive as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>These are the same people who complain when they are criticized for being uncaring toward their less fortunate fellow citizens. They whine about being portrayed as insensitive when they advocate for eliminating Social Security and cutting everything from food stamps to salaries for teachers and firefighters.<\/p>\n<p>Yet this is the best representation of what the Fox\/Tea Party cult in America truly believes. They are expressing themselves in an open forum and letting their true feelings show. The depths of their nauseating hostility seems to have no bottom. In some respects this should not surprise anyone who has seen the Fox Nationalists <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=obama-derangement-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\">relentlessly bashing President Obama<\/a>, even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=1583\" target=\"_blank\">calling for his assassination<\/a>. And it isn&#8217;t just the puerile morons on their web site, it is also their on-air commentators like Liz Trotta who joked about <em>&#8220;knocking off&#8221;<\/em> the President.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BjYpkvcmog0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all very funny to these misanthropes. So long as the tragedy befalls someone with whom they disagree politically, anything goes. But just imagine their brain-melting hysteria if the situation was reversed and it was Sarah Palin who was ill. I would never wish this sort of hardship on anyone. But they not only wish it, they revel in their wishful depravity.<\/p>\n<p>This really illustrates the dictionary definition of <em>&#8220;Sick Fucks.&#8221;<\/em> And if I wish anything, it is that they learn how hurtful and inhumane their despicable behavior is. And I also wish Sen. Edwards a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s bad enough that Fox News disseminates lies and propaganda while pretending to be a &#8220;news&#8221; enterprise.
