Brilliant!

1. I would have to say they are stupidly evil.

2. K&R

maybe you could put this up in the Political Videos section too?

4. Everybody has it wrong...

They ARE evil and they think Americans are stupid. I cannot see how Fox viewers cannot be insulted by that estimation but then again they really might be stupid.

[Martin Eden]

7. You are correct

Fox News has been very effective at planting false beliefs in its viewership -- they have a goal that has largely been achieved, so I wouldn't say they are stupid.

Definitely EVIL though, and very insulting to the people who trust them but apparently don't know any better. Some (but not all) Fox viewers are stupid ... I think a strong case can be made that the vast majority are pretty darn ignorant.

3. Maybe I'm Missing Something ...

But if what Stewart is saying here (admittedly based on something Faux News said, which is typically BS) is actually TRUE ...

Then it is actually the CO-OWNER of FAUX "NEWS" that is FUNDING THE FRIGGIN MOSQUE that they've been apoplectic over ON FAUX "NEWS" for the past month!?!

How does this not deserve to be like front-page in the Times or Post, or 'top of the hour' news on MSNBC?

Given the attention this whole mosque topic has generated lately, this seems like it'd be a BIG story.

If it's true, anyways.

Both. Staggeringly evil and deliberately stupid

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, savalez.:thumbsup:
