Fox News Calls Young People Dumb for Supporting Obama

By: Jason Easley
July 18th, 2012


In their attempt to explain away why 80% of young people don’t like Mitt Romney, Fox News proclaimed that only those who don’t know anything support Obama.

Here is the video from Media Matters-@ link~

When Bill O’Reilly asked Charles Krauthammer why Latinos, African-Americans, and young voters support Obama, he answered, “Look particularly, let’s start with the young. You know, what do they know. That’s why they’re young. They don’t have to know anything. They voted for Obama in ’08, and now we have about the same ratios. It’s the older people who have wisdom. The young are the embodiment of the idea of hope over experience.”

Krauthammer went on to explain that older people, especially voters over 65 voted for Obama in 2008, and after Obama disappointed them, that will leave a residue and buyers remorse. Krauthammer claimed that there will be a lower turn out for the young, so there is nothing to worry about.

The problem is that votes over 65 overwhelmingly supported McCain in 2008, and he still lost. Fox News and Krauthammer don’t want to admit to their senior citizen audience that they no longer decide the outcome of presidential elections. Those young people and minorities who heavily support Obama will determine if Obama gets reelected or not.

Fox News sounded exactly like their own angry white senior citizen audience. Why do young people support Obama? Because they are young, and don’t know anything. The reality is that Romney is doing even worse than McCain did with women, Latinos, and African-Americans. The demographics and the percentages aren’t in the GOP’s favor, so they are reduced to hoping for low turnout.

Fox News has a message for all of you young people who support Obama. You’re dumb, and get off of their lawn!!!!

5. They basically believe the same thing about women, Latinos, African-Americans, etc.

Romney summed it up nicely at the NAACP: "If you only understood me, you'd support me." Oh, and why???? I guess they didn't stop and think that maybe, just MAYBE the reason young people, women, Latinos, African-Americans, etc. don't support Romney/GOP is because they DO understand them and ARE smart enough to understand that supporting/voting GOP is NOT in their best interests (nor that of this country). IMHO Romney/GOP are the dumb ones if they don't realize THAT!

8. They have old metal bands on FOX now?

So the former lead singer for that third-rate metal band Krauthammer sez that young voters don't know anything. I think he was paraphrasing his old band's 1987 song that a few die-hards remember:

"GET OFF MY LAWN!
GET OFF MY LAWN!
OR I WILL THROW YOU
TO MY HELL-HOUND'S MAW!
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND'S GRANDMA
GET OFF MY LAWN!
GET OFF MY LAWN!

AAAAAAUUUUUUUGHHHH!" (guitar solo)

10. What The Hell Does Conservatism Offer The 18 to 30 Year Old?

What? Unless they're wealthy or stand to inherit a great fortune? What's there to offer them?

If they're Latino, conservatives want to check their citizenship status at all times.

If they're African American, conservatives want to defund their public schools and put them in jail.

If they're women, conservatives want to inspect their reproductive systems.

If they're GBLT, conservatives want to convert them and deny their ability to marry.

If they're poor, conservatives want to send their jobs overseas.

If they have student loans, conservatives want them to pay a higher interest rate.

If they're in the military, conservatives want to send them to Iran for yet another war.

Finally, conservatives want to over turn the ACA which would mean that those under 26 would be dropped from their parents' plans.

The real dumb ones are the 20% that support Romney.
