Kool-Aid Conspiracy
November 13th, 2007
I admit it, I like a good conspiracy and believe in quite of few of them. But there has to be something going on with the kool-aid they’ve been serving over at FOX. Have you ever noticed when someone gets on the payroll at FOX they go from normal “group think” Republicans to right wing, fear mongering, pro life, pro death penalty, our god is better than your god “group think” zealots?
Our lead example is none other than Bill O’Reilly aka “Culture Warrior.” Billy is the top peddler of the FOX/NeoCon kool-aid mafia. He wants to pass his-self off as the moral police and make fun of other TV shows but he never mentions he was a reporter on Inside Edition (one of the first tabloid/gossip shows). Then there’s the whole Andrea Mackris sexual harassment case that he vowed to fight. That is until he realized she had the goods, then the ol’ boy cracked open the check book and made it go away. Way to show those “SP’s” Billy! And the greatest hypocrisy is the attacks on George Soros accusing him of trying to control our government through the media. Has he not noticed his boss? The non U.S. citizen Rupert Murdoch, is buying up all sectors of media, right down to myspace in an attempt to control public opinion about the right wing agenda. And he still isn’t finished, there’s an attempt to yet relax the laws more to allow more cross media purchasing within the same market.
The next kool-aid connoisseur is Sean Hannity. I found ol chubby cheeks online several years back, and thought, okay we may not agree on most things but he did seem to have an even approach . But as Hannity became more of a poster boy for FOX the more extremist, one sided, illogical his opinions became. He’s now so saturated with right-wing kool-aid that when his mouth opens, the right wing agenda spews out automatically.
The latest to fall victim to the FOX/Murdoch kool-aid is Dennis Miller. Dennis seems like a likeable cat that at one point was pretty open minded. I’ve listened to his radio show to see if I could get my head around his opinions but you can listen to the kool-aid taking effect. Here’s what I’ve found so far– he really says nothing that isn’t in the FOX talking points play book. But by using the offbeat thesaurus to add 10 more descriptors per sentence the sheeple think he’s brilliant.
One FOX kool-aid side effect I’m starting to notice, other than the obvious foaming at the mouth right wing fever, is it has similar effects as steroids. Am I the only one that’s noticed how big Miller’s head is now (in both the physical and ego departments). Maybe its always been that big and his trademark mullet helped streamline that gourd, but the last time he was on O’Reilly all I could think was my god look at the size of that melon.
The rightwing kool-aid also causes something similar to roid rage. The old man O’Reilly constantly works his-self into a frenzy when its someone he knows he can push around. As a sidenote billy I’ve crawled over guys bigger than you to get to a fight, so please quit mentioning your 6′. Everyone, that’s been in the real world, knows the loud guy screaming I’m a mean big guy is really the whimp. Then there is Hannity’s wood-chuck jaws rattling “you going to stand by that statement,” while pointing with is pen, when intelligent democrats like Charlie Rangel puts an intellectual whooping on him.
Lay off the kool aid over there boys. Its hurting your party, your ratings and making you look like a bunch of idiots. Flush your system with some water, take a good multi-vitamin and talk to someone other than yes men at the office. You’ll thank me later.
