The Curious Misbehavior Of Herr Karl Rove, Svengali To Pond Scum

By Manifesto Joe



Not that Fox News had much credibility left to begin with, but continuing to present Herr Rove, a major fundraiser for numerous Republican candidates, as some kind of even-handed political analyst should dispense with whatever small measure of credibility they had left. The only reason anybody would watch this shit is because they WANT right-wing propaganda, not news.

Here's how Sarah Palin reacted to Tuesday night's events:



And if you are so masochistic that you still crave more agony, here's Bill O'Reilly:



Oh, and perhaps the richest thing of all came from Herr Rush Lardbaugh. He suggests that the election was STOLEN. After the curious outcomes of 2000 and 2004, with Il Doofus the "winner," that seems especially laughable.

Fox News should just admit that it functions as Republican right-wing propaganda

This "network" is about as unbiased as if Joseph Goebbels were in charge of it. But there are apparently millions of "Americans" who want exactly that when they put on "news." It may have been the case, 30 years ago, that subtle bias was noticeable on some of the other networks. It should be evident that, given that journalism isn't a lucrative profession and tends to attract people who pursue a profession for other reasons, it tends to attract more liberals than conservatives. I'm personally angry that everybody I deal with in the banking profession seems to have a conservative bias. Could it be that it's a profession that's rife with money-grubbing swine?

There's no longer even pretense here. Fox is pure propaganda, and if the Rove incident isn't evidence enough, there can never be enough.

On the bright side, they can't lie enough to stop 61 million real Americans from voting for the president Fox has vilified from Day One. Many people no longer take them the least bit seriously.

Herr Karl Rove's Gramp Wasn't A Nazi -- But This Is How The Game Is Played

By Manifesto Joe

As the late Molly Ivins used to say, "Crow eaten here." Karl Rove's grandfather wasn't a Nazi -- really. Democratic Underground retracted the story, which was apparently just a rumor that was widely circulated on the Internet.

But, I didn't report it as fact, now, did I? Here's a link to my post.

I wrote, "Judge for yourself." This is how the game is played.

As Mark Twain wrote, "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."

I'm retracting the story, for what the retraction is worth. Some damage has already been done, perhaps.

Now I'm waiting for a whole lot of retractions from the other side. Like, about how Obama's Asia trip was supposed to cost the taxpayers $2 billion, and about Bill Clinton's tarmac haircut. And about how Bush is supposed to have actually won the 2000 popular vote, based on a blatant math error from Michigan election returns?

Get the picture?

A Karl Rove Nazi Connection? Judge For Yourself

By Manifesto Joe

The Bush family's long-ago ties to the Nazis is now old news. And it's been known for a while that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a bit of a Nazi background in his family.

This is a fairly old story, but I hadn't heard this about Herr Karl Rove, "Bush's Brain." Here's a link.

Having been in the news business for well over 30 years, I know enough to reserve judgment about things until all the facts are in. There seems to be quite a bit about this subject on the Internet. Judge for yourself.

Postscript: I think this calls for an encore of Harry Shearer singing The Turd Blossom Special.



A winning little number, no?
