Ok, i knew Fox news was bad, but i didn't realise it was this bad.

I'm kind of dumbstruck that this kind of bigotry is on the airwaves.

That is very sad. What a couple of morons. I don't watch Fox News, so I don't know these people, but that is NOT a news show if this is the kind of stuff they discuss, and if this is the way they discuss news stories. How pitiful. The blond haired woman is a total loon.

Indeed. I really dislike bias in all it's forms when it comes to the news. This clip obviously isn't representative of most other news networks around the world. I'd be equally pissed off if the newscasters were atheist and they derided christians in this way (even though I'd be agreeing with them on the inside :)  ).

News should be as objective as possible. The above clip really got me fired up not necessarily because of their stupid views, but because they broke almost every rule of news casting neutrality.

Michelle Malkin is a goddamn retard. I swear. We have a Junior Malkin that writes for our university newspaper and it's just ridiculous to see how they justify their positions. I think that blonde woman missed the point of using the sign, too.

See, this is why I've always been a proponent of mandatory sterilization at the age of 11, only having child-birthing abilities returned when people can prove they're not going to water down the gene pool any more.

I always argue with my mother about this crap: she's a conservative Republican and I'm a liberal Dem/social Libertarian. She reminds me that Faux News is the "most watched news channel" and I remind her that it's because if you count everyone watching the rest of the news stations (like CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, BBC, NPR, etc), you get a much larger number.

How dare she! I should club her and eat her bones under a bridge!

Does anyone else remember when Michelle Malkin called Rachel Ray's neckscarf a a jihadi chic keffiyeh? Boy, she's a smart one.  :|

QuoteThat's my point. If you don't stand up for it, it might just disappear. I'm talking about christianity.

We all certainly hope so. But, a call to arms?? Seriously, you blonde haired ****?? (rhymes with runt)


QuoteMaking fun of them, and mockery, is the best solution.

Really Michelle? Are we all back in 3rd grade now?

These people literally made me feel sick.  :upset:

As much as I've always hated Fix News (Fox Noise if you prefer), this is a new low. These f*ckin idiots are so uneducated on the subject it makes me sick...and angry. They want to ridicule and mock us as a solution? What the f*ck?!?!

Rather than being outraged by this clip, I actually laughed while watching it.  Blathering buffoons like these crypto-fascists only make the case for Christianity, and American Christianity specifically, look even more absurd.  This is probably the most Christian country in the world, and yet these clowns feel the need to portray themselves as under attack by the mighty hordes of American Atheism?  Surreal!  :crazy:   As for the tactic of mocking unbelievers, that's like somebody standing waist-deep in a tank of cow manure pointing their finger and laughing at someone who has just gotten hit by  guano from a passing seagull.  The over-dressed rubes on Fox are merely preaching to their choir of mouth-breathing reactionary blockheads, who already have decided that there is an Atheist Menace.  It's what makes them money.

Very sad, and they mention "Christmas Wars" with regard to one sign that was posted?  And they are condoning the removal of free speech signs?  I myself do relax and let them enjoy the Christmas season, and have no idea why they react as if they are being attacked.  It was funny how the guy was trying to intervene with humor and get them to pull in a bit, it didn't work though....as nothing usually does with two cats screeching in the night.  Pathetic.  :confused:

OMFG! Ignore and ridicule us as a means of keeping us in our place?! F'ing F! I really believe that they are digging their own tiny, narrow minded holes to be buried in. Fucking flat-earthers!

From a network that gives Bill O'Reilly airtime, nothing surprises me.

of which are greater than six inches. Does this evidence support the hypothesis
that no fish in the pond is much less than six inches long? Not if your
net can’t catch smaller fish. -Nick Bostrom

VanReal

True, but you know what you are going to get with Bill O'Reilly....this is supposed to be a news show, they could at minimum pretend they aren't totally biased!  Makes me think of my Grandma watching something on this network during the campaining and telling me that Obama wanted to exterminate all of the old people.  She really believed it!  So dangerous to just blurt out stupidity like this.

Love it. I love it every time they say atheist on TV. You guys should too.

Keep atheism in the spotlight. Let the next generation of Americans, the kids watching TV, ask "Atheism? What's atheism?"

Loffler

Dude, Malkin argued against stealing the signs, and the blond chick objected!

Is she advocating theft?

VanReal

I don't believe all publicity is good publicity.  Although to us they are stupid to the masses watching that aren't non-believers they are just getting confirmation for what they already think/feel.
