Only on Faux (crawl on Forbes "is bashing troops bad for our economy?")
I know I shouldn't, but I caught a little of Forbes on Faux this morning. They were actually having a discussion about whether the media "bashing US troops is bad for our economy". This was quickly followed by a discussion about whether "trial lawyers are bad for our economy".

I swear to Christ, I checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally tuned into the Comedy Chanel and was watching a Saturday Night Live re-run.

They even brought out some old whack-job who was identified as their (faux news) chief editor. Guy looked like the old man in the Hannibal Lechter movie that was trying to have Lechter eaten by wild pigs. I don't know where they dug this guy up, but talk about the spittin' image of Doctor Evil!!

The entire gist of their discussion, and the point they were trying to make was that publishing accounts of possible atrocities in Iraq was "bad for the bottom-line".

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. When I see something low on Faux, they always come thru and exceed the depths of disgustingly putrid propaganda.

I honestly had to take a shower after watching this, and still....5 hours later....MY SKIN STILL IS CRAWLING. They take disgusting to a whole new level.

1. Is Liberalism bad for the Economy?
"Not the implentation of liberal ideas, but simply the existence of liberals? According to Fox Economist Snively Whiplash, the existence of liberals presents a clear and present danger . . . to your bank book. What can be do to stomp out the very concept of liberalism? Well Mr. Whiplash suggests tieing all liberals to train tracks in front of the 9:05 out of Dallas. We here at Fox News disagree with Mr. Whiplash as his plan is impractical. Surely the train would only manage to kill a small percent of the nations liberals before derailing."

If Republicans have proven anything while they've been in power, it's that "they can't make the trains run on time".

3. "bad for the economy"?
Republinazis are bad for the economy. They crater the economy into a recession or a Depression.

Anyway, Faux keeps claiming that the economy is "booming", despite all the evidence to the opposite, so why are they even trying this bullshit?
