What Fox News Channel Would Have Done to Rosa Parks
You absolutely have to read the whole thing. It is your duty as a liberal with a sense of humor!

Cenk Uygur: What Fox News Channel Would Have Done to Rosa Parks Cenk Uygur
1 hour, 39 minutes ago



<snip>

O’Reilly: “Rosa Parks claims she speaks for all of the African-Americans in the South, but in fact, we have found two African-Americans who say they disagree with her. They say she’s just trying to gain publicity and doesn’t speak for anyone in her race. They would know, they’re black.”

<snip>

Malkin: “I think I speak for the entire Parks family, and especially her children, when I say that they are so embarrassed by their mother who is making a public spectacle of herself.”

Hannity: “Rosa Parks has turned this whole so-called civil rights issue into a public circus. We have information that Ted Kennedy might have put her up to this. That amazing story when we come back!”

<snip>

O’Reilly: “To question the government of Alabama and implicitly the entire United States government by defying the political order like this has to be considered treasonous. Civil disobedience is a code word for I hate America. These people are criminals, simple criminals. It's ridiculous that they think they don't have to live by the same rules as the rest of us.”

<snip>

Coulter: “Rosa Parks is a dyke!”

Truer words have never been written.

1. Sad but true -- I was likening Cindy to Rosa just last night ...
And you're right -- O'Lielly would be leading the charge against Parks, too.

2. Or Jesus regarding Merchants in the Temple
"That Jesus - what a publicity hound"

"He's just being used by those lefty apostles".

3. So very true
And that Jesus analogy - dead on. I can just imagine the take that Fox News would have on the whole Jesus thing had they been around back then.

O'Reily: ...and I've asked this Jesus fellow to appear on The Factor, but he keeps avoiding me. My take on the matter is that someone has put Jesus up to this and that Jesus is afraid of me because he can't handle the no-spin zone. Today's guest is the honorable Pontius Pilate...
