Very loosely, the main topic of discussion was that
of street violence and the efforts at small arms gun control. The panelists
started out with three bad people who have been up front in the News lately.
First up was a discussion about the South African paraplegic Olympian who allegedly
shot his Super-Model girlfriend. It didn’t take the Fox Noise Makers more than
thirty seconds before arguments centering around Apartheid took over the
conversation. It was at this point that I figured I had better stay tuned to
see where this path was going to lead. Well, sure enough, it lead to the college
student in Georgia who went on a rampage killing anyone who even resembled a
white person. Stating Anthropology as his college major, he obviously blamed
his curriculum for creating the rage inside him to boil over. He claims he was
trying to get even for the slave trade in this Country. Then came their “Piece
d’Resistance”. Center stage shifted to the ex L.A. cop turned murderer.
Immediately the claims of liberal bias were leveled at the 47% of this Country
who have put this man up on a pedestal, and are using him to point out all the
conservative short comings of our Society.
Appropriately sprinkled throughout this panel
discussion was black-on-black crime, white-on-black crime, the ACLU’s
unconditional love of criminals of any color, or gender, and President Obama’s
attempt to quell his detractors by showing up in Chicago to speak about gun
control. I won’t get into the statistics that were quoted, because I don’t want
anyone falling off their perch in uncontrollable laughter. Of course, the
rightwing mantra was repeated over and over again, “The Government wants to
take your guns!” As I exited stage left, there was an equally humorous
advertisement about how “Obama-Care” is about to deny everyone in this Nation
medical care of any type, and how “Obama-Care is about to bankrupt every
business, large and small.
I
have one small request of Rupert Murdoch; “Please rename Fox News as The Comedy
Channel II.” I think your ratings might actually go up.
