Ailes Dismisses Backlash To ‘Lazy’ Obama Comments, Fires Back At ‘Communist Infiltrator’ Van Jones

Fox News chief Roger Ailes made headlines when an excerpt from an upcoming biography included quotes of him deeming President Obama “lazy,” Vice President Joe Biden “dumb as an ashtray,” and Newt Gingrich a “prick.” In an interview with Howard Kurtz on The Daily Beast, Ailes said he’s not backing away from the statements for one simple reason: They’re “true.”

“Are every one of those statements true? Yes,” Ailes told Kurtz. “Should I have said them? Well, that’s a debate.”

When Ailes saw his remarks printed, he “looked at it and thought, someone’s made outrageous statements about our leaders, and that someone sounded like me.” But he also went on to respond to some of the criticism.

First, about the Biden remark, Ailes said his comments aren’t usually entirely earnest: “Anybody who knows me knows that half the time I’m saying things with a somewhat humorous overtone.”

He had stronger words, however, for Van Jones, who found the comment about Obama’s laziness to be racially charged. “I don’t pay a lot of attention to communist infiltrators,” Ailes fired back. “Van Jones has one job, to stir up racism whether he can find it or not.”

Jones has long since acknowledged saying in the early 1990s, when he was in his 20s, that he was a communist. Ailes acknowledged to me that the CNN contributor has moved away from that self-description.....

Der Fuehrer himself made the comment about himself in an interview with baba waa waa (the snake).

As far as any other remarks go, no apologies, ever; in fact he should expand on them.

The Obamadork is fully firing on his only cylinder.

Fact it, the dork is just not bright. That fits exactly with his thin-skinned approach, his inability to every use advanced logic, and the fact that actively hides all of his sorry school records.

He is a simpleton, plain and simple. (badda-bing)

Obama IS lazy.

Biden IS dumb as an ashtray (no offense to ashtrays).

Gingrich CAN sometimes be a prick.

He shouldn’t be ashamed of saying the truth.

O'Bungwad truly is abysmally ignorant. To think that his rabid socialism would ever fly here in America marks him as a dyed-in-the-wool denial-freak, fed by a debilitating Messiah complex compounded by a rapacious arrogance and conceit that only the truly, venally stupid are remotely capable of.

If anyone thinks those points are fueled by "racism," they should note that, were he possessed of these same defects and White, he'd actually be even more stoopit.

LMFWSCAO!!!!! (...fat, white, straight, conservative...)

O'Bungwad truly is abysmally ignorant

His sole talent in the area is actor-like repetition of Marxist boilerplate. He is simply a painfully average intellect who is covered for 24 hours a day and a political grifter.

I don't understand why the Democraps have gotten such a free pass, since CZAR B.O. was elected. I believe he is only the Goebels of the Democrap Party. He is there principally for the Democraps to brand any objector to their Socialist initiatives as a Racist!

Everything he has signed into law came from a Democrap Congress, BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE.

I now realize that Dim Bulb Pelosi was probably correct, when she said: (about Obamacare) "We had to pass it to find out what was in it." If she (as House Speaker) didn't know what was in it, then the real question is: WHO WROTE IT?

Sen. Bayh of Indiana stated after Obamacare was enacted that he was surprised at the reaction to the legislation. After all, the Democraps have been trying to incrementally implement Socialized medicine for over 50 years. With control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, they decided to go for the whole ball of wax.

Yet most of the commentary says: B.O. did this; B.O. did that: etc. He has neither the intelligence nor the experience to write a multi thousand page piece of legislation only a few weeks after taking office. It is just NOT believable. The real question is: WHO WROTE IT?
