The New GOP “Outrage Industry:” Lessons in Decency from Erick Erickson and Fox News

...before we get off the topic of Fox News and the fact that they are “oh-so-shocked” at the supposed sexism of Donald Trump…here’s a little perspective.

Back in 2010, Chris Wallace joked about having my Mom (Sarah Palin) sit on his lap during an interview.

In 2011, Roger Ailes said, “I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.”

Fox and Erickson need to get off their high horse on how outraged they are NOW about sexism and decency.

Now what was that War on Women question, again, Megyn?

Maybe we should adopt the acronym WOW. Some exploding heads need a bit of assistance.

Who was it that said that Sarah Palin Slept with a Black Basketball player?

Who was it that said that Sarah Palin Slept with a Black Basketball player?

I had to think for a moment. It was that hero of the left Letterman.

Letterman: When I joked about Palin’s daughter having sex, I meant Bristol, not Willow

After letterman goes to the bathroom, he comes out clear.

It’s about allegiance to the United States of America.

That is the exact reason why I support Trump campaign. No one else talks about America first anymore. Even though I am just a lowly naturalized US citizen, I prefer patriots over politicians.

You are not lowly as long as your allegiance is to the United States of America.

Go Bristol go! Tell the truth and keep on exposing leftist lies just like your mom. You're a true Patriot and the real America thanks you and loves you dearly! Best wishes to you and your beautiful family.

I spent some additional time reading Miss Bristol Palin's wonderful blog and came across this statement she bravely made. I realize that the FR Blog Cop appointed by the boss generally frowns on blogs and bloggers but her thoughts are worth reading. She really knows how to stand up to the state-run leftist lamestream drivebys.

As the liberals often say, "...truth to power." Well, Bristol Palin is unafraid of attacking the media's power structure and she tells them the T-R-U-T-H!!

Go Bristol go! You're just like your great mom and America needs you!

[Jim Robinson]

I appointed no one.

[re_nortex]

How ‘bout endorsed?

[Jim Robinson]

Nope.

There are lots of posters who don’t like certain types of threads or topics and appoint themselves to try to do something about it. We’ve got blog police, vanity police, satire patrol, sports police, pet police, Apple police, chat police, poll police, bad dog police, race cops, breaking news police, caucus cops, bad word patrol, dupe police, wrong title cops, excerpt cops, copyright force, Trump police, smut cops, grammar cops, spelling police, all caps or no caps police, abuse cops, religion police, etc, etc, etc. You name it we’ve got one or more self-appointed cops to watch it. But I’m ok with most of it, as long as they don’t get too rough. I think most of them have the interest of the forum in mind. It’s all good in the long-run and part of FReeper lore.

Thanks for the thorough clarification and for a nice response, Jim. I for one do appreciate the job that humblegunner does to keep the blogger abuse of the forum at a minimum. He's got a well-honed sense of humor, an impressive command of the English language and is a spell-checker like few others. Plus, he seems to hang around with the very best of people.

What is this United States of America of which you speak? The only thing this country is united on is that half the country wants to be rid of the other half.

What we are is the Untied Conclaves of Acirema, where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent are punished.

Thanks for the ping and this post.

Her points well made from Bristol Palin. Again this is better coming from her, and not from Sarah.

And let’s not forget this little gem:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/tucker-carlson-ripped-tweeting-sarah-palin-supreme-commander-milfistan-article-1.117016

Excerpts:

“Tucker Carlson’s probably wishing he didn’t call Sarah Palin a “MILF” right about now.

The conservative commentator and editor in chief of The Daily Caller started an Internet firestorm after commenting on the potential 2012 White House hopeful’s slipping poll numbers.

The former Alaska governor’s favorability dropped from 71% to 65% in the last 15 months, according to The Des Moines Register’s new Iowa poll.

“Palin’s popularity falling in Iowa, but maintains lead to become supreme commander of Milfistan,” he tweeted on Monday, embracing a raunchy acronym for attractive mothers.”

...

“Not everyone felt the same way. Conservative blogger Erick Erickson took to Twitter, commenting, “Maybe my sense of humor needs to be recalibrated, but when I heard @TuckerCarlson’s MILFistan comment, I laughed then got out my passport.” “

What they really want us to know is Fox is no different than the rest. They want us to think we are defeated.

[entropy12]

What is good for America is good for everybody, rich, poor or in between.

[Uversabound]

They want us to think we are defeated.

OMG you are right!

HOORAY Sarah, HOORAY Bristol, HOORAY JimRob, HOORAY ‘gunner.
