No love for fox news on freerepublic tonight

I don't usually bother with TV at all, but my wife seems to want to get her news from Fox for reasons beyond me. We have a home theater system, and invited our neighbors over tonight to watch the election returns on Fox with us. We were appalled by the process through which the Fox morons cheerfully dismissed state after state before the facts were even in, a pattern epitomized when some babe strutted in smarmy fashion down to their "Decision Room" to humor Carl Rove's contention that Ohio had been called far too prematurely for Obama. It was an...

Surprising that he doesn't see the problem with his fellow freeps, though!

"It was an amazingly amateurish, overly glitzy production throughout, and one where every single Fox News person seemed more than glad, titillated in fact, that Obama had won. I found it disgusting beyond words.

I left Fox long ago, but I think my wife finally saw the light tonight. We're done with the. May they rot in whatever hell they go to.
"

Right...FOX pundits seemed glad Obama won. There's the freeper you were looking for.

Because that would make his job easier for four years.

Now the Fox nutters don't even have to retool their hate speech, they can just keep recycling old rants, riffs, and tropes.

I should have known there was more to it, but since I don't visit Free Republic, that's why I didn't know. Thanks.

They're mad at Fox but not for the right reasons. They're mad at them for calling the election as it actually happened. They're mad because some of their people are actually taking a look at the problems the party has, trying to help even. However much space there is to the right of Fox, that's where these bedbugs are. What the hell would you even call that? Stormfront? 88's?
