Fox News Razzes War Protesters

When anti-American war protesters descended upon Fox News Channel's Manhattan headquarters yesterday, the No. 1 cable news network used its news zipper to fire back.

In red neon letters that crawled across the building from the Avenue of the Americas to 48th Street, the peacenistas were taunted with barbs like:

"War protester auditions here today. . . . Thanks for coming!," "How do you keep a war protester in suspense? Ignore them" and "Attention protesters: The Michael Moore Fan Club meets Thursday at a phone booth at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street."

"I thought I'd have some fun with it," Fox zipper-writer Marvin Himelfarb told the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz. "I couldn't resist."

I can totally picture those stingers coming out of Brian Kilmeade's mouth. It's great to know that the folks off-camera can get in on the shenanigans, too! BTW, does anyone know what's become of MANCOW? I haven't spotted him on FOX and Friends since the war began. I need his no-holds-barred take on Michael Moore and this creepy Columbia professor. The withdrawal is killing me!

It's not like the "Hate America" people don't have a voice.

How many useful idiots in your community continue to support NPR and public TV?

They think they are performing a great public service when the exact opposite is true. Local businesses and people who support our troops and our President unwittingly give money to an organization that spews the rottenist antiamerican filth all day long. Tune in tomorrow and listen Morning Report or All Things Considered. I know it's hard to listen to that crap but force yourself. Then make a vow to help in their economic destruction!

The difference between the phony peace neurotics and normal people is a sense of humor.

They don't have time for fun..too busy saving the world.

It's good to see Fox get a little creative. On Day One I got the distinct feeling that Fox was overly shrill, downright defensive, inventing Iraqi war crimes before they actually happened (or was this just a bad hair day for me?).

In light of our current war, many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror.

These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.

2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the face.

3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.

4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.

5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.

6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the face.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.

8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost.

We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose.

Lesson over, class dismissed
