The "Nice Little Conservative Hit Job" blowback.


Elite blowback settles in among the crazy cornfed Christians about Clinton outfoxing Rupert's Fox News Sunday.

John Nichols writes a succinct essay for The Nation. Here he quotes what Clinton said to the show's host Chris Wallace with:

"'You set this meeting up because you were going to get a lot of criticism from your viewers because (Fox owner) Rupert Murdoch is going to get a lot of criticism from your viewers for supporting my work on Climate Change. And you came here under false pretenses and said that you'd spend half the time talking about (climate change.) You said you'd spend half the time talking about what we did out there to raise $7 billion plus over three days from 215 different commitments. And you don't care.'

Truer words have rarely been spoken on a nationally-televised 'news' program. "


And Clinton is correct about the dominant opinion about global climate change among Fox news junkies. Few care how much people are doing, or contributing to stop it. Also, former Vice President Al Gore was not too far off the mark tonight on the BBC when he said, "I know that the red carpet is just a rug."

Many Repugnuts in "Red State" Kansas consider dwindling energy security networks and global climate change a hoax perpetrated by a bunch of commie liberals.

This pre-enlightenment mentality hog wallows in Know Nothingism, and the vast M$M empires flood the airwaves producing the animal feed corn, propaganda necessary to dumb down the 'great beast' of ' consumers.'

The naive are to be yet again, reduced to be mere consumers, overfed, arrogant and considered as a herd to be kept docile. Similar to the very real lack of any intellectual debate among the policy makers and leaders of the "military industrial complex" concerning geopolitical wars elsewhere.

Clinton, who knows what it's like to be hated from all sides, was ready to pounce despite his own elitest tendencies that gravitate toward what those in the south call "neoliberalism."

Nichols writes on to say:

"When a beaten Wallace tried to cover for himself – '… all I can say is, I'm asking you in good faith because it's on people's minds, sir. And I wasn't…' – Clinton nailed him: 'There's a reason it's on people's minds. That's the point I'm trying to make. There's a reason it's on people's minds because they've done a serious disinformation campaign to create that impression.'"

"Love Bill Clinton or hate him, but understand that his appearance on Fox New Sunday was one of those rare moments in recent American history when a target of our drive-by media shot back. "
