Fox News host tied to white supremacist group, anti-King site (Snow)

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Fox_News_host_tried_to_white_1223.html


As yesterday's revelation that a Fox network television affiliate promoted a white supremacist organization leads to greater scrutiny of the group, it has emerged that a Fox News host is also tied to the same organization. While perusing another site hosted by Stormfront.org, blogger IntoxiNation discovered material written by Fox News radio and television host Tony Snow.

Snow, then a columnist for Detroit News, wrote a piece slamming Kwanzaa, which is currently hosted by a website dedicated to discrediting Martin Luther King, Jr.

-snip-

Snow's dissection of Kwanzaa takes a strange turn, focusing eventually on war crimes in an attempt to argue that African-Americans should not celebrate their cultural heritage:

Tony Snow currently hosts The Tony Snow Show on FOX News Radio and Weekend Live with Tony Snow on the Fox News Channel. It is unclear if he or his publisher granted permission for use on the Stormfront site.

1. I first heard Tony Snow when he would sub for Limbaugh
I knew what a bigoted jerk he was years ago. Not surprised by this but thankful you put it here. Happy Kwanzaa.

2. I wonder what percentage of African Americans listen to Fox
since only about 2% agree with Bush, I figure very few. That Fox would be the home of bigots and white supremists doesn't surprise me in the least.

Happy Kwanzaa!

3. I'm glad all the nuts move to Faux after they've been kicked off other
networks, like Novak. It makes it that much easier to simply block one channel and block them ALL at once!

4. OMG what a horrifically racist piece of crap
Nobody ever ennobled a people with a lie or restored stolen dignity through fraud. Kwanzaa is the ultimate chump holiday -- Jim Crow with a false and festive wardrobe. It praises practices -- "cooperative economics, and collective work and responsibility" -- that have succeeded nowhere on earth and would mire American blacks in endless backwardness.

10. "cooperative economics, and collective work and responsibility"...
... "that have succeeded nowhere on earth and would mire American blacks in endless backwardness."

He is either a total dumb ass or a misanthrope.

Kwanzaa is not a call to socialism or communism no matter how ham fistedly he tries to spin it. What is it with these reich wingers that any form of cooperation or urging of social responsibility is immediately equated with cloaked Marxism? Do they not realize that the US is full of "cooperative economics"? I guess they have forgotten about the post office, mass transit, the highway and interstate system, etc. I wonder is he counts groups like the Jaycees, Salvation Army, Goodwill, and thousands of church groups as promoting "collective work and responsibility"? None of those things must count though because "they have succeeded nowhere on earth.

12. Cooperative economics has been successful EVERYWHERE it's
been tried, as far as I know. I don't know what those who celebrate Kwanzaa mean for sure, but I'm not talking about either socialism or communism. I'm thinking wonderful "we're all in this together" tribal economics. It's like the original socialism/communism. We all succeed or fail; you belong to the tribe and the tribe belongs to you; one for all and all for one; your survival depends on the tribe and theirs on you; cooperative interdependence.

The kind of "economics" we have now makes sense only if you need to be better than others and you think the most important way to keep score of that is via money -- and too many do. Where cooperation instead of competition are shared community values, it's a different picture.

5. Tony Snow, as snow white as the sheets he wears. He shilled for Rush.
He looks like the average hometown boy, although I wouldn't recognize him with his robes on.

Another Faux drone carrys the torch (maybe literally) for the RW.

Let's see how Faux News handles this situation....................

15. Even a FOX anchor wouldn't be stupid enough to associate himself with SF
It is unclear if he or his publisher granted permission for use on the Stormfront site.

Somehow I highly doubt that. Not that it would matter to Stormfront of course.

Besides, those neo-nazi sites venomously hate Bush for his "jewish agenda". Hardly the kind of groups your average good ol' boy Fox anchor who just happens to have an innocent little disposition against blacks would deliberately associate himself with.
