1. What an insult, this guy was born in 1941 and won't ever turn it on!

[pscot]

2. +1

[Old Codger]

3. Same here

In fact i won't even go into the local little store because they have it on always,,, So maybe a lot of old folks watch it but lot don't watch i too... Keith and rachel

4. Are you white?

Thanks to sb1070 I have to ask.

:spray: :rofl:

[scheming daemons]

5. Yet it *IS* a puzzling fact. Why do so many of your contemporaries lean so far right?

After everything they've seen and experienced in life, you'd think the 65+ crowd wouldn't fall for the Right Wing's bullshit.


But they are more susceptible to it than anyone.


Why is that?


They SHOULD have outgrown the tired arguments of the right by now.



How is it that the average 25 year old is more correct in his thinking than the average 65 year old?

6. It's a good question. I always wonder too, like WTF. I've never changed since

my 20's. I hated RW stuff then and hate it even more now. It's the same question I ask all the time. Maybe I never grew up to be an old fart. I really disliked them then and I dislike them now, the RW Fox types.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

7. As an old white guy, I resent that!

Proud FDR Liberal!

9. I didn't say ALL old white guys watch fox news

I just said that fox news is watched by old white guys.

Jeez Gramps, lighten up, take a viagra, and give Granny a good one.

:kick:

[Bluebear]

11. 'jeez Gramps, lighten up, take a viagra, and give Granny a good one.' - How crass.

[thelordofhell]

12. When people think they're being insulted when they're not

I like to give a real insult just to prove how wrong they were the first time they got all hoity-toity. It's kinda like what you get for heckling a comedian.

:smoke: :silly:

[Petrushka]

15. Ps-st! Granny has enough of a headache, sonny.

[CanonRay]

18. Talk about lighten up, geez, I was kidding!

Old white guys do in fact watch Fox news.

[slackmaster]

19. I think your remarks are borderline ageist and racist

I don't consider myself old yet, but I'm getting there and I'm sick of being discriminated against because of my age.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. Yeah, and DU'ers can quote glen dreck and all of the other faux news peeps verbatim...

within minutes of their comments.

Strange.

[apocalypsehow]

14. I've noticed that phenomenon myself. As you say, 'tis passing strange... n/t.

[KT2000]

13. tell me about it

lots of retired people live in my community. You can tell the ones who spend their hours in front of fox news - they are all mad as hell and want to tell you about it.

[Petrushka]

16. Interesting survey result . . . considering how many oldsters can't afford cable.

[HopeHoops]

17. And the whitest, most racist, least educated, most ignorant, wow - the list goes on.

[slackmaster]

20. There's a simple explanation...

21. *breaks hip fumbling for remote*

:P

[Imajika]

22. Old people vote...

So basically we have a right wing propaganda outfit that is very popular with the block of voters most likely to turn out at the polls.

There is nothing amusing about that.
