Political Humor

No political humor existed in the Liberal blogsphere this week as they were up in arms over Barack Obama’s FOX News channel appearance. They were besmirched and besides themselves. Are you as giddy as I am? It makes me want to put on a pretty red sundress and frolic…um wait a minute, wrong blog.

So how mad are they?

“By going on Fox News, Obama made the right-wing press legitimate…Simply put, I cannot vote or support anyone who participates in this medium.” Daily Kos diarist “Bonddad”

(To be fair Bonddad’s quote was taken from the news story which paraphrased his words. But I don’t think it was out of context.)

“This will likely further dismay liberal bloggers who had worked very hard to get Dems to boycott Fox as a way of delegitimizing the network and who already criticized Obama for agreeing to appear in the first place…” TPM’s Greg Sargent.

They are so mad they forgot Hillary was on FOX five months ago when all the Democrats loved her. Unless the liberal bloggers deleted their posts I didn’t find nary a complaint. Nary! And nothing yet about her recent appearance on O’Reilly’s show.

Hypocrites.

On a side note, I would love to see Bonddad’s logic at work in the voting booth. Even Ralph Nader has been on FOX. I guess he could write in the liberal superhero Al Gore.

Look liberal bloggers, everyone is tired of your complaining that there is some kind of right-wing conspiracy and FOX is a part of it. You tried it before with the false claim of a ‘moral majority’ in the 1980’s. Like Randal Graves in Clerks, we do not appreciate your ruse, your cunning attempt to trick us.

So how do we know there isn’t a Vast Left-Wing/CNN Conspiracy? States are turning blue left and right. Congress is controlled by the Democrats. 27% of all voters have positive views of the Republican Party, the lowest level for either party ever.

You might have had a decent argument in the 1990’s but not now. Come back to us when you have concocted a new theory about why the Republicans are trying to keep you down even though you really are in charge. We are all set with your stories.

You have the majority, but it won’t last long. Most times when the sitting Prez is of one party the other gets Congress. No matter whether it is the Left or Right’s time it won’t last forever, so enjoy it and stop whining.

You never hear Republicans crying about a CNN boycott do you? Suck it up, walk it off and deal with the fact FOX News is a legitimate media source. The right said the same damn thing about the Cable News Network when it became the Democrat haven over a decade ago. They got over that one, get over the fact Fox News is a NEWS channel.

By boycotting it you make yourselves sound like the scared kid thinking there is a monster hiding in your room.

Humor-Blogs.com doesn’t boycott any news channel or blogs about humor for that matter.
