Fox Noise: Anti-War Protesters are Loonies! (real screen cap)
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

When there's an anti-war protest, there's Fox News Radio producer Griff Jenkins, gathering (frequently embarrassing) soundbites from demonstrators. This weekend, he brought a camera, and he played some of the best clips on The Big Story this afternoon.

"This one particularly, I guess it was the cold weather, brought out the really weird people," Jenkins told John Gibson. "I met a guy... and I know you like these guys... that believes in UFO's."

At the protest, Jenkins asked: "Do you think George Bush has anything to do with the UFO you saw?" The man responded, "Um, I don't know, it might be a military aircraft."

Good enough for a chyron...

1. They will say anything to discredit us
Next they'll say we believe in elves because someone watched Lord of the Rings.

13. Oh,
and I thought it was because I like those Keebler Elf cookies. :eyes: So, if elves don't exist, who makes those cookies so deliciously yummy? And who lives in that tree?!

2. well in a crowd of thousands, you are bound to find someone who saw a UFO
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 11:29 AM by LSK
Thats one of the rights favorite things to do, find the EXCEPTION and try to paint them as the RULE.

So if 1 person believes something, it has to follow that the other 9,999 believe EXACTLY THE SAME about EVERYTHING. You have to be completely devoid of all logic to believe this crap.

6. What's wrong with seeing a UFO?
Most people I know have seen a flying object they can't identify, myself included.

And since when is seeing a UFO considered political?

8. nothing and irrelevant to my point
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 11:36 AM by LSK
Ask FOXNEWS whats wrong with seeing them. Whether they exist or not is beyond me. But that has nothing to do with my point.

3. "Anti-war protestors clash with protestors who support the troops"
I actually saw this caption a few days ago on Fox news.

4. Just more incentive...
...to be informed and know your facts. They can't make you look like a goofball if you don't let them.

9. How many of their viewers believe in ID?
Which is even more of a whacked out idea.

15. I'd bet if they interviewed the "Pro-War" crowd (all what, 30 of them?)
you'd find 100 percent who believe that the Iraq invasion was Clinton's fault ...

less credible than the guy who "saw a UFO" ... UFOs by nature, are unidentified ... not necessarily claiming a Martian spaceship ...

16. and I'd bet you'd find at least 10 in that "crowd" who've seen UFOs
not necessarily at the protest, but somewhere. Heck, in that bunch, there'd probably be at least a couple who claim to have been abducted by aliens. :shrug:

18. More Americans believe in UFOs than approve of George Bush!
And more than twice as many believe in UFOs as approve of Dick Cheney.

19. Don't let Fox interview some of the tinfoil hats we keep under the stairs at DU.
They'd really have a field day.

20. Looks like a plant.
Just sayin'
The hair, the coat and tie.
Repug playing the part of wacky protester. Prearranged by Fux Noose.
