Klein: Fox's 'hateful crap' borders on 'sedition'
The American Thinker ^ | October 24, 2009 | George Joyce

Posted on 10/25/2009 4:22:04 AM PDT by Scanian

For a fascinating glimpse into the seething and completely unhinged liberal mind check out Joe Klein’s dark and disturbing rant over at Time Magazine. The first line of the piece reads:

"Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue."

Although Klein’s vitriol is off the charts it pales in comparison to what can only be described as his unseemly boot licking. Here’s an example:

"If the problem is that stories bloated far beyond their actual importance -- ACORN's corruption, Van Jones's radical past -- are in danger of leaching out of the Fox hothouse into the general media, then perhaps the Administration should be a bit more diligent about whom it hires and whom it funds."

When a writer worries about stories “in danger of leaching out” he or she can best be described as a storm trooper, not a journalist.

Explain to me, Joe, how exposing Obama's thugs, hinchmen and fellow Marxists using their own words, documented in video clips and their own writing, is either hateful or untrue?????

Klein is a socialist sock puppet. Only can parrot what’s approved for release by his handlers.

Sedition is in his mirror

If it was for waiting room magazine racks he’d be cleaning toliets at rest stops on the interstate

Seriously, it won’t be long before Obama and the left start using the force of government to start silencing critics, and the MSM will fully support it.

Look, a national emergency for the FLU?? Let’s all get conditioned to have the government step in and takeover whatever next, such as FOX.

Klein's article is clearly intended to be critical of the President's war on Fox.

His "I hate Fox" preamble to the article is almost obligatory to establish his credentials as a leftist, writing to a leftist audience. Even the phrase that the AT article describes as so vitriolic places the responsibility on the Whitehouse: then perhaps the Administration should be a bit more diligent about whom it hires and whom it funds.

The article is intended to criticize the whitehouse not fox. There's no need to waste all the outrage when they're taking the right side. Here's a link to the entire article if anyone wants to read it.

stories bloated far beyond their actual importance

Really? That's an interesting standard to be raised by anyone in the MSM. Let's remember it for the next time some conservative finds himself in an all-out media firestorm because of some minor stumble, out-of-context quote, or remote association.

The MSM will pivot on a dime to hype Democrat attack lines of attack, no matter how trivial. And ACORN? One grows weary of saying it, but Joe Klein really should pause to consider how the story would be played if ACORN were a right wing outfit with a long history of vote fraud, street level thuggery, and close associations with a Republican president.

The amount of immaturity that the Left has put on display lately is truly amazing.

Because they won 53% of the presidential vote under false pretenses, they think they have the right to establish an American Reich and try to trample their opponents into the dirt.

Not only immature but delusional as well.

After reading wannabe WH courtier Klein’s piece, the first thought in my mind was,”does the man ever stop to swallow?”

Well, does he? Ick.

I thought when Bush was gone, the Left would regain its sanity?? Apparently there are deeper problems than we previously believed....

GE’s stock has sunk so low that they are beyond desperate for government contracts. They will do literally anything to defend their best chance at making big money—a “corporatist”(Mussolini’s original name for fascism) regime under Obama with GE one of government’s hand-picked corporate “winners.”

(The Time-Warner) magazine publishing unit was also a big drag as it suffered the problems besetting many print publications. Overall revenue was down 22% to $915 million, thanks to a 26% drop in advertising and 18% decline in subscriptions. Operating income was down 53% at $102 million.

Good question.

On the other hand, I don't think most liberals have any idea of the depth of contempt in which they are held by conservatives. They lie systematically and as a first choice, not a last resort, and they're so deep in their own bubble that they really don't think we notice.

Conservatives are far from perfect, but we at least tend to debate seriously the arguments being advanced by the other side, as opposed to ignoring them and hiding behind straw men and ad hominen attacks.

Engaging in a bit of psychological projection, Mr. Klein?
