Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Is A Pretty Little Hate Meme, Essentially

Passive resistance: It’s terrorism, essentially.

@ SteveG – And, the crazies are always the most fun in the sack. Especially the buttoned-up ones.

we’ll do it live…WE’LL DO IT LIVE! F**K IT! I’ll write it and we’ll DO IT LIVE! F***ing thing SUCKS!

Wikipedia: “The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis.” Basically, you are a blogger, meanwhile Megyn Kelly – “Kelly pursued an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Syracuse University and later pursued a J.D. from Albany Law School; she served as an associate editor of the Albany Law Review while enrolled at Albany Law School.”

Pepper spray IS a food product. She also said the video looks bad but that a rush to judgment before all of the facts of the case are found would be inappropriate. Considering her law background and the fact that she was brought on the show to give the viewers a look at the legality of the situation, everything she said was spot on. But it’s cute that insecure liberal bloggers scared of Fox News have to manipulate Megyn Kelly’s statements just because she’s more intelligent and more beautiful than you.

Kraken, I am a fan of the community. I have volunteered with Autism groups, Casa de Espiranza and provided pro bono work for Habitat for Humanity and Pride Parade. I am all about charity, but am very, very opposed to people mooching off society and others. The OWS movement is complete and total garbage. All you need to do is visit owsexposed dot com.

Who cares what withered worn out dildo coffin Megyn thinks?

@fitley – Story is true. And all of your name calling only demonstrates exactly what is wrong with you and people like you. I’m flattered you devoted more than one sentence to me though. You’re rock! And no, no head throbbing and no water on the brain either. It’s called – checking your sources and knowing the truth.

Rather than this disgusting group of non-showering, raping, drug-taking band of fools taking over parks paid for by tax-payer money while they defecate in public, among other things.

Yeah, that’s a Fox News viewer right there. What an amazing stream of bullshit.

Good doggie! Roll over! Play brain dead!

“Riot batons. Shake weights, essentially.”

That is some good legalese though, Otto. “So sir. According to your statement, you were sitting on the ground when the officer spritzed the food product in your direction?”

“False. True essentially.”

@katie_im_in_your_bushes – I know, and you make many good points there. I did not say what they protest is wrong, I criticize their methods. Some have said they are similar to the Tea Party, however, the Tea Party has never been violent. No one has ever died. They never stay for more than one day and they never leave trash behind. They also happen to love their country and carry American flags with them. They also do not agree with what’s going on, but they caucus to put forward candidates to run for Congress. They do NOT try to occupy tax-payer funded property and defecate in public and/or RAPE anyone. They certainly do not attack police.

It is not the protest itself, it is the totally shameful way they protest. Big difference.

You know what the problem with politics is? Very, very few outlets can make it funny. All that comes to mind is the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Lame post, lame comments. Sorry.

Wow only two conservatives here, that’s pretty good.

Secretary Not Sure, watch Bill Maher, he’s a thousand times funnier than Stewart and Colbert.

As far as OWS being a liberals only movement? Ehh, I disagree. There’s plenty of vets and other groups that are traditionally conservative that are associated with the movement. Obviously most of the ones that are there to stay and are willing to be inconvenienced by this are the guys who back the movement completely, which are typically the big Liberals…or the ones that have no where else to be. Of the later group there’s probably a fair share of moderates who are fed up, and aren’t big fans of Skank of America or Shitigroup. Guys who got laid off, vets that can’t find work, folks like that. I think the idea that it’s just a bunch of hippies is pretty overblown.

Painting all conservatives with the same brush as Bill O’Reilly? Look, all conservatives may not be as big of assholes as he is and they probably don’t all have the same cognitive dissonance that he exhibits on a nightly basis, but he seems like a pretty mainstream figure in the Republican party. The conservatives did this to themselves. The healthcare bill that was passed was something that they suggested in the 90s. Cap and trade? That was HW Bush’s policy. The tax plan that Obama’s proposing heavily mirrors Milton Friedman’s. So that bloc of the political spectrum did this to themselves. Jon Huntsman can’t gain any traction with that group but Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum can. Mitt Romney’s been running for president for five years and hasn’t managed to crack 25% in the polls. There’s hardly any intellectuals left in that party, and instead they’ve been replaced with Mark Levin, Bill O’Reilly, and Sean Hannity. The thing close to intellectuals they have left are George Will and David Frum, they basically kicked David Frum out of the party and Will’s struggling to keep that group happy.

@ Omar – Maybe you guys should stop picking on Republicans, Bush and Megyn Kelly and start criticizing your own party and the equally corrupt and stupid politicians you have elected into office.

You’re steeped in the “cognitive dissonance” of Bill Maher, Stewart, Colbert, and probably many other brainwashing Liberals, so much so, you can’t even hear the conflict in your own words. You name guys like OReilly and Hannity as brain-washers while, a moment before, recommending Bill Maher- one of the worst brain-washers on the Left. Get real! You’re proud you listen to this guy? Sad.

The way you talk about how “they did it to themselves” or how “Jon Huntsman can’t gain any traction” but others can, is really strange. If only Conservatives put forward the candidate Liberals would like, then they wouldn’t trip themselves up?… Uh… What? Don’t talk like an expert on the Republican candidates, please. Oh, and nothing like this healthcare bill was ever proposed by Conservatives in the 90s, OR by any political party in history prior to Pelosi/Reid/Obama. I do not know where you get that from. The closest thing to it, ever attempted, was Hillary Clinton (as first lady) in 1993 and Bill Clinton took a bath in the midterm elections in ’94 and that was scrapped, totally. But even that Health Care Legislation did not include a Federal MANDATE. Let me guess, did Bill Maher give you this idea? It’s so funny because Liberals want FREE healthcare for everybody but what they got was was a Federal Mandate for EVERY single American to pay for it. Hilarious.

And Obama’s OWN TAX increases were rejected when his OWN PARTY had super majorities in both houses of Congress… And, Obama’s own budget was rejected by the (liberal majority) Senate by a vote of 0-97. Not 1 Democrat voted for Obama’s budget, steeped with Tax increases that resembled NOTHING that anyone would vote for. So, this Milton Friedman comparison? Whatever dude. Wishful thinking.

Needsabrew? Jesus Christ. More like Needsalife.

People believed all of Obama’s BS and promises and he has not lived up to any of them, NOR has he put the country on a path to prosperity. Quite the contrary.

Quite the contrary? What alternate universe do you live in?

When Obama took office, the economy was shedding jobs at a rate of 800,000 a month. His policies stopped the freefall and turned it around so that we were showing a monthly gain in jobs (private sector jobs, mind you) by the following spring. There was a net total of 1.1 million jobs created in the entire eight years of the Bush administration, but during the height of the stimulus package, in 2010 alone, Obama oversaw a net total of 1.3 million jobs created.

The stimulus package — which you apparently believe was a disaster — has been ranked by every reputable economist (including the conservative thinktank AEI and McCain’s chief economist Mark Zandi) and the nonpartisan CBO as a significant stabilizer on the economy. Bush left us with negative growth in real GDP in five of the last six quarters of his tenure, but Obama has now presided over nine straight quarters of positive growth in real GDP. The stock market went up 40% during the same time.

You think there’s a bizarre cult that sees Obama in a light that doesn’t represent reality? You’re right, there is — and it’s you. When EVERY single economic metric says that Obama has done a better job of the economy than Bush and you still claim, with a straight face, that Obama has made things worse, then there’s only one conclusion — you’re batshit crazy.

With Republicans, we had eight years of bubble economics, with the largest and third largest tax cuts, Iraq, Afghanistan, Medicare Part D, and No Child Left Behind all piled onto our national debt (and here’s another fact for you: 86% of the current debt came from the Bush years) and the end result was the worst economic crisis since 1929.

I’m sorry Democrats haven’t cleaned up your mess quickly enough for you. But you all shit the bed with disastrous complications, and we’ve had our hands full.

@Otto Man – I’m so impressed with how the left is the first to accuse others of being brain-washed while being total/complete victims of it themselves. You have to sift through the dis-information for the truth, man. I have turned on many, many Republicans guilty of bad economics/policy. Why don’t you criticize your own party? You are only hearing what you want to hear while TOTALLY ignoring what is going on. You say things like – “every” single economic metric shows Obama has done a better job, yada yada yada and every single economist has approved of the Stimulus, etc, etc, etc… DUDE! Get real. Which LEFTIST website did you copy this total brain-washing crap from?

What brought down the economy was a bubble in the banking/financial/housing Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac disaster placed upon Americans by DEMOCRATS who pressured banks to set aside logical banking practices to issue sub-prime mortgages. The government (politicians like Barney Frank) told banks to go ahead and issue these bad mortgages (to people who could not afford them in the first place), and said, “don’t worry, keep giving out these mortgages, Fannie and Freddie will buy the mortgages from you”.
So the banks went nuts (under Bush) issuing bad mortgages, left and right. Fannie and Freddie then bought these mortgages and packaged them into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) and spread these bad investments accross ALL of the financial spectrum including banks, wall street, investors, insurance companies and even foriegn countries. These were supposed to be the safest investments in the world, but they were worth ZERO. The value was based on mortgages that began to foreclose across the country because people, who should have never been approved for the mortgage in the first place, could not make the payments.

86% of National debt from Bush? Based on what metric?? The TOTAL debt is $15 Trillion. Bush contributed $4 Trillion in 8 years, Obama has contributed $4 Trillion in 3 years!!! If you take Obama’s $4 Trillion out of the equation, the national deficit went from $7 Trillion to $11 Trillion under Bush. That’s about a 38% increase, NOT 86%. Simple math dude.

What brought down the economy was a bubble in the banking/financial/housing Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac disaster placed upon Americans by DEMOCRATS who pressured banks to set aside logical banking practices to issue sub-prime mortgages.

No, that’s a right-wing lie, one that even the Bush administration’s own officials have dismissed as bullshit. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were NOT involved in subprime loans, and the fact that you peddle that stupidity here is just further proof of the post’s original premise that Fox News viewers like yourself are fucking idiots.

Read this:

And here’s the assessment of the stimulus from the conservative thinktank AEI:

[www.tnr.com]

Again, needsabrew, those are all citations from actual authorities, drawn from all across the political spectrum.

And in rebuttal, you offer … dickall. Nothing. Zip.

Nice work, champ. Feel free to keep posting here, but it’s clear you’re a fucking dimwit who doesn’t know anything except the lies that Fox News and your precious Mygyn Kylly spoonfeed to you, so I’m not going to bother coming back.

@Otto Man – By the way, I do have a life, so I can’t respond in full right now, oh but I will, so check back. But you know what? Your insults get you nowhere. In case you hadn’t noticed, I have not insulted you, not once. You must be 15 years old or something. So you found ONE article that says Fannie and Freddie were victims????? I’m going to see just how many articles I can find that state the opposite and support what I told you. But you can google that too, you know, you don’t need me to do it. You can always find one shill for the left, especially the New York Times. I’ll find more evidence for you on the failed Stimulus, as well. I mean please, in your own words, can you tell me what the Stimulus actually did? Remember, they said if the Stimulus was not passed, unemployment would go over 8 %, and not only did it top that, but it has remained over 9%. And NO ONE, not ANYONE can trace what happened to that money. Where did it go? Enlighten me. The most accountable and transparent Congress ever??? pfpfppfpfpfffff, sure Nancy.

Again, my point was not to be a total shill for one side. If you do your research, you will find that the TOTAL spending for BOTH wars was $1.7 Trillion in Bush’s term, from 2002-2008. And YES, there is cause to be upset about that. HOWEVER, Obama has spent almost that much per YEAR. He will have spent nearly $6 Trillion in his one and only term. Meanwhile, Obama WENT TO WAR without Congress, in Egypt. Doesn’t THAT piss you off? It should!! What if Bush wen to war without Congress? The Left would be HOWLING with anger…. But Obama? … Nothing from the Left…

You are only seeking opinions to reinforce your point of view. You can be a total Liberal, Socialist, whatever, but you have to realize when you’re party is just plain wrong. Otherwise, you are just carrying the water for politicians who don’t care about you. Stalin had a term for people like that, if you know your history, you know what I mean. Yeah, he was another one of those Socialists… Stay tuned.

Needsabrew’s had way too many. Look, I said I like Bill Maher, he’s hilarious. He’s brilliant too, I know that bothers you because since you claim to be a libertarian, he points out that the libertarian’s allegiance to Fox News or the Republican Party is utter bullshit.

I don’t think I ever called Bill O or Hannity a brainwasher, I’d never give them such credit. They have a very uneducated audience that their sort of fake outrage and righteous anger appeals to. Furthermore, they couch it in this “I’m just telling like it is,” bullshit and present themselves like they’re an everyman and poke fun at “elites.” Fox News has the slowest crawl on cable news and their audience is frequently cited as the most misinformed. In fact, there was a study that suggested that their audience is more misinformed than people who don’t even watch the news. That’s not brainwashing, that’s just fooling idiots or appealing to people who already think the way you do.

Why do I think the Republicans should nominate Huntsman? Well because him and Mitt Romney are the only two that eat with a knife and fork, but unlike Romney he doesn’t have that John Kerry-esque flipflopping nor does he have that John Edwards unlikable elite factor going for him. Hell, I think they SHOULD nominate Huntsman…I’d kill for Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Paul, or Gingrich, though. Obama would barely have to campaign, just run commercials filled with stupid shit those clowns say.

You honestly didn’t know that Bob Dole and Gingrich and the Contract on America crowd thought up the individual mandate first? Really? Are you lying or are you just that big of a fucking idiot? It was a point of controversy in the debates, Mitt Romney told Newt Gingrich that he got the idea of the individual mandate from him Newt got sand in his massive vagina and said he got it from the Heritage Foundation. Here:

[www.forbes.com]

Yeah Bill Maher totally gave me that idea, idiot. Do me a favor and email me a picture of that stupid fucking dejected look on your face that I know you have right now.

Obama’s tax rates are right where Friedman originally suggested. Explain how they’re drastically different?

On to your second, yet not quite as stupid post, the Democrats did NOT encourage banks to hand out subprime mortgages. The Republicans did under Bush, that was one of Bush’s goal to have 90% of Americans to own their own homes. Nice idea, very unrealistic. Get your facts straight. You are just so full of shit, you mention Dodd, Frank, and Pelosi; yet fail to mention Orin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Boehner, Ron Paul, and other “career politicians.”

You’re honestly looking for intellectuals on the left? Bill Maher, who you just mentioned, bright guy…doesn’t use this “I’m a dumbass just like you” bullshit like Beck, O’Reilly, and Hannity use. Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, while obnoxious at times, use their intellect to make their arguments not loudness or hyperbole. They’re a lot closer to WFB than any conservative pundit you can name.

There’s also Obama himself, you know? The guy that was THE EDITOR OF THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW, that guy? Jesus Christ. And go ahead and act like Hilary, Bill, Pelosi, and Warren aren’t bright people. Please. On the one hand you have Rick “I can’t remember all three departments of government I want to cut” Perry, and on the other you have a Harvard Law professor…gee, I wonder which side is smarter?!?!?! Shit head.

The Megan Kelly meme is great, but not because of Megan Kelly. It’s because all lawyers pull this crap. Anyone remember, it depends on your definition of the word ‘is’?

I think it’s funny when republicans say “Liberals always…” and then liberals say “Republicans always…” and it’s the same thing.

Agree with OWS or not, MULTIPLE other videos have shown that the protesters at UC Davis were REPEATEDLY asked to leave and refused to do so. I don’t wan’t people getting pepper sprayed, but this article is nothing more than FOX News hate combined with the typical ignorance of those who are reporting on what FOX has said, Kelly did NOT like that the kids got sprayed, but under the circumstances, said the cops had the right to do so with the protesters refusing to leave.

@Otto Man, @Omar, @De Selby
I have been attempting to post since last night, but my comments are being filtered.
If you want my reply go here:
needsabrew.blogspot.com

@De Selby- So, I may say things in ways you don’t like. Tough. I am not flaming anyone or hurling insults and anyone who posts here. And it looks like they finally posted my comment, so there’s my reply, which you must have thought I did not intend to give. Note that they link one article. I’ve given you plenty to chew on for quite awhile and I actually stopped short. I could have given you much, much, much, much more.

By the way, I am pretty busy with work, so I can’t post as much. I was able to post a lot over the Thanksgiving weekend, but I won’t be nearly as available now. However, I will check back from time to time. I just stopped by to comment on Megyn, then BAM, all this came up. Oh well, it’s been… interesting. Last, I applaud those of you doing your research. That’s more than most people can say.

needsabrew

@Larry Dickman – No, I just like messing with guys like you. I have a degree, and a job, and a life, with a great wife and kids and I’m living the American dream. You?
——————————————————————————————

Pics or it never happened.

Yeah, sure…….and the Faux (Fox) channel is “real” news, essentially! It’s all just infotainment, folks.

“She’s right! It’s made from pepper plants!”

So what? The point isn’t that she’s wrong. It’s that she reduced something that’s used as a weapon to a food fight.

No needsabrew, you’re the guy starting fights. As Beerad points out, you didn’t even realize that by “Community”, Kraken meant the TV show, hence the capitulation. If you visited this site AT ALL you’d have known that. But you don’t. You’re not part of our little internet community (see the lowercase?), you’re an outsider who read something he didn’t like and decided to start an argument over it, and be incredibly condescending to anyone who disagrees. Sure, it’s not just you, but you were the first. Right off the bat your posts do nothing but belittle Cajun Boy. People took that personally, because we know Cajun Boy- he’s a friend here. Do you know Meygan Kelly? Why do you feel a need to defend her?

Everything you’ve posted from the start has been slathered in A HUGE AMMOUNT of arrogance; you’re just as insulting as people using name calling if not more so. The fact that you can’t see that is… well, pretty expected, because people like you never do. You’re too blinded by “us vs them” you can’t see anything else. People like you, on both sides of the isle, are everything that’s wrong with this country. I pity your probably non existent wife and children.

Jesus Christ, needsabrew, you are the saddest person on the entire internet.

I think my favorite part was when you had a comment with thirty links get caught in moderation and, being a right-wing crybaby, immediately decided you were being censored.

And the array of links you posted? It would’ve been nice if you’d actually read them. The first link you cited as proof that economists don’t think the stimulus worked was (1) organized by the right-wing Cato Institute and, even better, (2) published in January 2009, before the stimulus was even passed into law. That’s your proof that the stimulus didn’t work? Predictions made before it was even passed?

The second is an op-ed piece in a conservative British newspaper that describes the belief that economic stimulus doesn’t work — in general, not Obama’s, mind you — is “breaking with current economic orthodoxy.” In other words, the vast majority of economists believe government stimulus works, and the whole point of the article was, hey, here’s an oddball who breaks with the overwhelming consensus. You’ve proved my point here, not yours.

Your third piece is a blog post at Cato Institute — again, an odd choice for someone who claimed my nonpartisan sources were all biased — that reports that Mark Zandi is a Democrat. Wow, that proves … something?

Your fourth citation is a piece by Martin Feldstein, who is again not an impartial observer, as a former Reagan administration official. But even better, you’ve once again produced an op-ed piece written before the stimulus was even passed in an argument over whether it did any good in the years after it was passed.

Your fifth citation is an actual economist who is actually writing after the stimulus package was passed. Hooray! You did it, big boy! And what does he say? Let’s see … He thinks the positive growth we had after the stimulus would’ve happened even without it. Yeah, that’s a rousing indictment of how the stimulus made things worse.

The sixth is another conservative columnist who has to admit “Obama is correct, to a degree. The economy is growing (slowly) now and adding jobs (modestly) whereas neither was happening back in early 2009.” Again, not proof of the point you’re pissing your pants trying to make.

Your seventh citation is another post of predictions from April 2009, as the very first stimulus funds were being rolled out. Maybe I need someone to read this to you slowly: PREDICTIONS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE ARE NOT THE SAME THING AS EVALUATIONS OF WHAT DID HAPPEN IN THE PAST. See if an adult can help you with that. Maybe they can explain it to you with puppets.

Your eighth is an article whose evidence are an internal poll of 68 members of the Chamber of Commerce-backed NABE, asking them whether their own company has directly benefited from the stimulus. Wow, that’s scientific. Why didn’t they just poll corporate bundlers for Mitt Romney?

Your ninth is … another article from early 2009 wondering what will happen when the stimulus is enacted. Christ, are you retarded? I mean, clinically diagnosed with some sort of learning disability? Because I’d feel bad arguing with someone with actual mental retardation.

Your tenth citation is a hit piece from National Review six months into the stimulus. Double fail!

Your last one is an out of context quotation by Doug Elmendorf of the CBO. It’s adorable that you’ve repeatedly waved away the formal, official findings of the CBO that the stimulus definitely helped the economy, but you’re wrapping your arms around this soundbite which says only that maintaining the current level of stimulus spending — which NO ONE is advocating, aside from Jeff Sessions — would be bad for the economy. Well, duh.

Nice work, champ. Seriously, this may be the single greatest face-plant in the history of arguing. Just because your Google search for “stimulus + failure” generated some actual links, that doesn’t mean you’ve proved your case. Next time, try reading the pieces that Google finds for you rather than just barfing them up here for the rest of us to laugh at.
