Or
Example: Republican organ Fox News posts a blog on its website by its Executive Vice President calling a sitting U.S. Congressman a "Jagoff." Oh yeah, and that Representative is being criticized because he dared to say that anti-Obama racism lurks in Pennsylvania. For real.
Here is FoxNews.com just hours after the final presidential debate. Notice--FOX FORUM: There's a Name for People like Murtha.
That link bring you here:
Ok, so here's what's ridiculous. Moody takes offense to Murtha's claim that "There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area."
1.) In his blog Moody actually agrees with Murtha that Obama is fighting racism in PA. He says "I'm sure there are racists in Pennsylvania...there are probably some who discriminate against others whose skin color is not like theirs.." Dude, you just agreed racism exists in Pennsylvania; hence, Murtha was right about racism existing in western Pennsylvania, and, therefore, the cartoonish outrage that follows is ridiculous.
2.) Moody damns Murtha to "go to hell" for "making such ugly comments about a wonderful part of our country." That's absurd, but it's just the warm up.
3.) Next Moody confides: "Murtha served his country honorably in the military...so I was hesitant to criticize him...," but then proceeds to say, "I don't mean to be ungracious, but he started it." Are you really the Executive Vice President of Fox News? Are there no standards? "He started it." WTF? Is this kindergarden? He didn't pinch your nipples; he spoke truth about racial barriers that exist today.
4.) Finally Moody calls John Murtha a Jagoff. Yes, Mr. Moody, you and Rep. Murtha agree that there is racism in western PA, but I guess telling him to "go to hell" was just not strong enough for a Fox News blog. You needed to end your talking points rant with a titular reference to pay off your zany, edgy blog heading. I mean if you write a blog called "Moody to Murtha: What a Jagoff," you better put jagoff in the text. And you did. You debased important social and racial discourse down to the realm of masturbation. You claimed as you were name calling that "he started it" and while expressing remorse, you damned a veteran and current U.S Representative to hell, and you are the Executive Vice President of Fox News? And the blog was linked from the front page of Fox News? And you called John Murtha a Jagoff? You are a Jag-ass.
Not that you haven't already done some pathetic shit, but FOX NEWS you just jumped the shark.
