So, what’s up with FoxNews? Yesterday, Brett Baier, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, and Glenn Beck tag-teamed Geert Wilders. Beck climbed up and jumped off the top rope onto Wilders’ head by strongly insinuating that Geert is a fascist. It was like a Hulk Hogan WWE massacre, but this time for real. What in the world is happening over there?
I have an idea and it’s not a very happy one. I think that Diana West has once again hit the target. It wasn’t too long ago that NewsCorp honcho Rupert Murdoch and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal joined hands as investment partners in a broadcast venture – sort of like FoxNews-Saudi Arabia style. Mr. bin Talal is now a major stock-holder in FoxNews. He once bragged that he made a phone call during the Muslim riots in France a few summers back and got Fox to stop calling them Muslim riots.
Here’s West’s latest shot at the bull’s eye:
“It was pile-on time at Fox News tonight as Glenn Beck, Charles Krauthammer, a gal whose name I missed and Bill Kristol all branded Geert Wilders beyond the pale tonight.
Beck classified Geert as a fascist.
Krauthammer said Geert didn’t know the difference between Islam and Islamism — never mind that according to Krauthammer’s idea of Islamic scholarship, neither did Mohammed.
The gal is the middle said she agreed with Imam Krauthammer and added that if people like this (Geert) are elected to lead Holland it will suffer the consequences.
Kristol called Geert a demagogue.

Would that be Daniel Hannan?
Somehow these educated elite, have no problem with people who turn our societies upside down causing problems with education, housing, public health, soaring crime rates, etc.
The fact that they see no problem with Islam but rather "radical Islam" is telling in that the former Dutch legislator, a Somali woman, needed to leave the country because of threats against her life. Not only did the Dutch people, authorities refuse to protect her but the "moderate" Muslims, weren't going to lift a finger to object the violence coming from their own people.
The FNC gang always expect Christians or Jews to stand up and speak out against violent nuts behaving violently even if it's verbal threats but Muslims, no problem. Why is that? To answer my own question, Islam supports violence to spread their "faith" and no right-minded Muslim will speak out against it, much less become active in organizing to prevent such "perversions" of their faith.
Lastly, either those at FNC fear violence and even death from "Islamists," if they admit the truth rather than attack those who point out just how violent and perverted that "faith" is, or they simply are ignorant of that fact.
Hubby and I caught the reference on Beck; but Bret Baier was not in the anchor chair yesterday. Jim Angle was sitting in for him.
Saudi Prince Alwaleed is behind this.
He personally appeared on Cavuto and verbally pimp-slapped Cavuto on live TV (randomly) to send the message “I’m a dirty Saudi and I can crap on FoxNews, live on TV.”
If Glenn Beck wants to sell out to MOSLEMS, he’ll lose 75% of his audience.
Here we see that the once democratic “will of the people” is now, both on the left and the right, a code phrase for “fascist”. Mind boggling.
It seems to me that media types and politicians fear the will of the people and they damn well should.
On the other hand, once Islamization is attained, a nation has no way back to Western Civilization. It's over. Therefore, it seems to me that Wilders (one of the few prominent Europeans ringing the alarm bells over the horror to come in Europe when then the Islamofascists seize power) is worthy of support at present.
Trust him to be who he is. He get's a big gold medal for his "fascist" statement.
Beck does not know what a fascist is. Orwell knew. Or rather what a fascist/communistic society would be. Beck facing a real fascist scenario.
A jackboot stomping on his face- forever!
Attacking Geert Wilders at the behest of some inbred saudi royal pig has forced me to change my opinion about fox.
When murdock took money from mr. mohammedan dirtbag “prince”, he sold out lock, stock and barrel. Liquidating all fox news stockpiled credibility at a cut rate price.
It sickens me to say it, but baier, beck, krauthammer, kristol, murdock and all of the rest have chosen to be kept pets of the house of saud and the last marginally objective source of news has been corrupted beyond recovery.
“I think the participants last night were giving their opinion.”
Reporting, opinion or whatever, I’ve had the increasing feeling that I’m getting spin from Fox in recent months, and find myself watching them less and less. Then there was this recent story:
“Today, I’m not invited at Fox News. Neither is Robert Spencer or Brigitte Gabriel,” he laments. “But Ibrahim Hooper is invited to speak at Fox News. It used to be that experts on terrorism who are critical of the Islamic views [were] able to get a voice on Fox News. Those days are gone.”

I guess further observation will eventually reveal whether Fox is taking a different approach than in the past.
Daniel Hannan, yes, thanks. The Tories would be in much better shape if they had him rather than Labor-lite Cameron.
Wow, what a mess of a site. All the text overlaps on itself. (At least that’s how it looks on my computer.)
We cannot trust the Fox News any more. The same is with Glenn Beck. They have sold their souls. It is obvious.
Either that, or they have a different opinion about an issue than you do.
They 100% supported removing don't ask don't tell policy, as well.
Glen maliciously tries to connect conservatives with fascism. He knows damn well that fascism and communism are the kissing cousins. They both originated from socialism. Fascism is the phenomenon on the “left”, and Glen knows this.
Islam is not only religion, but also a social order, a fascist one. Glen Beck knows about this damn well. He had two interviews with Geert Wilders, and Glen praised Geert.
There is the only one conclusion: Glenn Beck and the Fox News have sold their souls.
I doubt that he would want to, but they may be forcing him to, which would be a heavy price to keep his TV show. If he is serious he will resist, if not we will watch him morph into MSNBC, then where will we get the truth.
This forum doesn't have nearly the traffic it did 10 years ago, Christians are regularly taken to task by the Libertarians, as well as RomneyBotts.
