LEFTWING MUPPETS ON VERGE OF CANCELLATION
Breitbart ^ | Oct 12, 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/12/2015 10:28:16 AM PDT by bkopto

Disney did the impossible: destroyed the Muppets. By making the Muppets “edgy” left-wing partisans who attack Fox News, come out as pro-abortion, and hurl sex jokes, the once-universally beloved franchise has been doomed. First, the leftwing Muppets failed at the box office, and now Kermit and Company are on the verge of having their new television show cancelled.

I heard they have a character called Donald Grump - ash hole liberals destroy everything they touch, everything.

It was never the same after Walt had passed.

It was family friendly humor. Disney making it “edgy” will only kill it. It would have less of an audience than MSNBC.

When are they going to learn that left wing jokes aren't funny and most families with children don't want that crap?

Jim Henson was a big lefty hippie anyway.

Jim Henson had been in negotiations for quite some time with Disney. Henson’s untimely death simply put everything onto the back burner, but the Disney agreement was already laid out for the most part. So, the Japanese didn’t miss out on anything.

Great, what’s going to replace it?
The Swinging Flintstones?

They produce shows for one purpose: to promote their ideology. The entertainment factor is only the vehicle by which their agenda is promoted. As you watch their program your critical reasoning is turned off. (suspension of disbelief.) You are being entertained.
Their agenda is slipped into your subconscious mind while you concentrate on the plot.
Almost every show produced in the last 30 years is nothing more than a propaganda piece.

Desperate Housewives: traditional marriage is a trap and everyone cheats and lies anyway.

Two and a half men: get a piece of tail whenever and wherever you can, and kids, this is for you too, watch those grown men obsessing over female butt.

All in the Family: You White men are nothing but bigots. You are stupid and racist. Watch those young people make a fool of you.

The Big Bang Theory: There is no God, and Texas is full of religious fanatic fundamentalist bigots. Men are insecure in their heterosexual relationships. Gays are proud and secure (Sheldon.)

Care to add to this?

He was raised as a Christian Scientist, so that explains why he waited until he was on his deathbed to get help. He died because of sepsis, and it wasn’t all that sudden.

How To Destroy Your Brand With One Bad Idea

There’s other countries for Leftism, like Cuba and North Korea. No one thinks of Communism as American except for rich, white liberals worshiping power and control.

I believe Mao used cartoon characters to spread his propaganda.

The Amerikan Left isn't even creative.

I haven’t followed the muppets in 40 years.
Do they have an openly gay muppet yet?

We quit Disney in the seventies. By that time it was evident the direction they were going.

Never been back, never will.

It’s so obvious the Left chose Disney’s audience as a target, slithered into the management of the corporation like slimy serpents, and took over. Disney is the anti family, anti Christian, anti American corporation the Left wanted it to become. Another tool they use to destroy our country.
