Should have tied him to the tree as it burned.
“you’re a mental case ...”
No she’s not. You and the other cynics blaming Fox somehow for the burning of their red, white, and blue patriotic Christmas tree need a major attitude adjustment. Trump has been interviewed regularly on Fox. Lara Trump works for Fox. Both of Trump’s sons, Don Jr. and Eric, appear on Fox shows often, and their week night talking heads programming are all hosted by conservatives, and on the weekend too.
Their one primary weakness is their weekend daytime programming where they stick the liberal hosts on in midday only in order to be “fair and balanced”. Mornings and evenings on the weekend are also hosted by conservatives. The more into the Biden Commie regime it gets, the more conservative speaking (in horror at what is happening) most of their talking heads have become.
Our side needs all of the TV venues we can get as there are so few. One of the best things that has happened is that Fox now has to compete with Newsmax and Newsmax’s conservative audience has been growing by leaps and bounds. So we need to keep both stations, Fox and Newsmax supported, as we have so few TV venues, virtually only these two that for the most part are in our camp.
Fox seems to have learned a lesson from having screwed up their 2020 election coverage, but we need them, Trump and family appears on and uses Fox as a megaphone regularly, and if it’s good enough for them, it should be good enough for the rest of us. Just don’t watch Fox when their weekend afternoon shows are on. The rest of their coverage has been pretty good.
So withdraw your fangs and can the negativity being displayed on this thread about Fox. It is unwarranted, and your comments are not logical, and you know who you are.
It is a sad commentary on the unhinged left and on the criminality that runs rampant in our big cities ruled by Dems, that this patriotic Christmas tree was burned down, and the radical left targets Fox for a lot of their vitriol, because Fox still is primarily conservative in ideology, way more right than left. I believe it will stay that way as the horrors of the Biden regime multiply daily.
“You’re a mental case too ...
nobody blamed fox for anything ...
go back and read the posts ...”
I did, and you, unfortunately in this case are a jerk. And Ann Archy is 100% right in her assessment of you and the others who are basically blaming Fox. As I stated in my comment, you know who you are.
Don’t know what they’re reading, but without even looking back at the post(s) I seem to remember a Fox-hating, Leftist commie nut job was likely responsible.
Exactly! That's like blaming the rape victim because clothing was 'provocative'.... SMH
I went back and read the posts. I don’t see where anyone got the idea that you or anyone else was picking on FOX.
Sometimes there are those looking to get angry about nothing or else they misunderstood the posts.
So go binge-watch rants from metro swamp-frauds if you're that pathetically dumb... just quit rambling and writing us novels apologizing for real-world election criminals.
The arsonist isn’t political. He’s a mental health consumer. Sometimes people are just crazy.
Though I am Jewish and because of that clearly don’t believe as Christians do regarding certain matters, I always like it when that tree goes up each year - it is not just that it is pretty and dresses up an otherwise drab city (which is really just a minor effect), but more importantly it is something that unifies a great part of the population (we are anything but unified, ICYMI); further, the “Christmas spirit” of being kind to others (which is universally a good thing) is reinforced with a symbol like this.
So, of course, I was as shocked and ticked off as anyone else about this. My first thought after that was that this is a sick person - emotionally and spiritually. Perhaps Communist, but definitely anti-religion in general, and anti-Christian in particular. He is not the problem (though he is A problem, to be sure) - the problem is the utterly secular educational system and a society that doesn’t merely tolerate but seems to revel in anything and anyone who bucks tradition or who tears down that which is good.
But, as bad as this incident is, it may actually be a net positive, depending upon what happens in the next day or two. One key here is the reaction of the Leftists throughout society, but particularly in politics, academia and the media. If they celebrate this (and it appears that many of them are doing so) then they are - as usual - revealing themselves. That will lead a fair number of the basically normal, non-political, fence-sitters to pay attention and understand who and what the Left really is - how utterly uncaring (and cruel) it is, how it is nothing but a force for destruction. That could help stiffen the backbone of our society and strengthen the reaction to the wave of Leftist actions over the last few decades. Remember what Rush Limbaugh said: they (Dems or Leftists, whichever is at issue in any given situation) ALWAYS overplay their hand, thus guaranteeing that there’s a reaction that slaps them back significantly - and if this kind of an incident is not “overplaying their hand” than there’s no such thing. The second key is what those who are believers (or at least friendly to/tolerant of believers’ rights and feelings) do and say - if a replacement tree is put up (and it definitely SHOULD be, today or tomorrow), and if some people who are actual leaders in politics and our culture not merely condemn this action but use it to bolster the message of kindness and also of resistance to evil, then this can become a net positive. It can become a teachable moment - and should.
Oh, and there damned well had better be guards posted 24-7 so that this doesn’t happen again. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I read them all as well. I don’t see a single post from anybody blaming Fox for a Commie burning down their tree.
We’re supposed to be the logical side, not the emotional side.
Destruction of property?
It may indeed be true that the people behind this were and are evil Leftists. But I believe (and I realize I may be incorrect) that the perp wasn’t motivated by those same ideas.
As I understand it, he’s a ‘homeless’ man, or as we used to call them, ‘bums’. He was probably approached by some BLM/Antifa/DNC operative who offered him money or drugs to torch the tree.
Craig Tamanaha.. JAPANESE? Hmmm...
I'll BET THIS WAS REVENGE FOR AMERICANS KICKING JAPAN'S ASS IN WWII.. TAKE NOTE THIS ARSON OCCURRED ON THE NIGHT OF PEARL HARBOR DAY, DEC. 7TH!
RACIST HATE CRIME, POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED AGAINST “CHARLIE”, THE “WHITE IMPERIALISTS” WHO FOUGHT JAPAN AND WON.
From bombing battleships to setting Christmas trees on fire 80 years later.
