Of course. These people are actors.

Anybody find his ManHunt profile yet?

Weaver95		2012-12-11 11:42:11 AM

look, hating Obama is just his day job. off hours he likes the guy well enough to vote for him. or give him money anyways.

what_now		2012-12-11 11:49:51 AM

Obama's reelection is the best possible thing that could happen to Fox personalities.

Its almost as if Fox is prepackaged BS to keep old white people scared and uninformed

and? how much did he give to Romney?

toraque		2012-12-11 12:30:43 PM

This is actually not very surprising, considering what happened to me last week. I was out shopping for bath towels when a campaign fundraiser guy started demanding I contribute to getting Romney elected, only the election was already over and Obama won. Don't you know it's over, I said, but he kept growling and tugging at my bath towels and hissing at me. Let it go, man, I said, but I think people all around me misunderstood because people were screaming and stampeding and pointing at him, and then Animal Control showed up because apparently he wasn't a republican, he was a rabid wolverine that had somehow gotten 'Romney 2012' stickers all over him and the next thing I know I'm in the hospital with shredded bath towels and needles sticking in me everywhere. It wasn't much fun.

So yeah, I can totally see this happening.

namatad		2012-12-11 12:32:54 PM

I GUESS that someone could be donating the money in his name ... BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

CapeFearCadaver		2012-12-11 01:38:29 PM

Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.
Pig Vomit: How can that be?
Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."
Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?
Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.
Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?
Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."

Now I know why FOX has the ratings it does

The bit where someone was so upset about someone badmouthing obama on the tee vee that they dug up his donation records, successfully changing nobody's mind about anything.

Taylor Mental		2012-12-11 02:33:03 PM

Seems like a reasonable gratuity.

The Jami Turman Fan Club		2012-12-11 02:33:10 PM

One week after the 2012 election, Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters told Bill O'Reilly that Obama voters were "zombies" who supported the president "as long as there was Obamacare, gay marriage and abortion on demand."

And we get out of Afghanistan...yeah. I'm going to support him on the other issues because no matter how bad he is (SOPA, USAPATRIOT, etc.) he can't be any worse than the Republicans.

There's a flaw in that arguement. By the time you've listened to Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity for 18 minutes you've pretty much heard their whole spiel for the rest of the week.

At least the rest of the week.

This is why people think Fox News viewers have lower IQs, because this kind of shiat just flies right over their heads.

We still have angry white people though right?

Not everyone at Fox is hanging far to the right; there are probably plenty of Democrats in there. But like all jobs, during those 40 hours you have to tow the company line whether you agree or not. I imagine that working at Fox is a lot like this:

Spartacus Outlaw		2012-12-11 02:38:35 PM

I've noticed a trend in writing that is really starting to irk me. Instead of "telephoning", or "calling", or "attempting to contact", or "leaving a message", everyone lately is "reaching out" for comment.

/yeah, I know this post is "annoying" too.
//sorry

factoryconnection		2012-12-11 02:38:57 PM

The "name" line is bothering me. It is in a larger font and also not listed IAW the form instructions (last, first, middle). It just looks altered. This seems to be a strange thing to fake, because what Fox personality didn't roast Obama supporters... why him? But it looks funny.

make me some tea: Of course. These people are actors.

True; good point.

EyeballKid		2012-12-11 02:39:13 PM

What's in his heeeeeaaaaaaad, in his heeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaad?

doubled99		2012-12-11 02:39:46 PM

So even though he supported Obama, he still can't criticize him or democrats in general?

Makes sense.

Hey, Libs and Cons, keep having your little pissing contest together while you both fark the whole country!

Zerochance		2012-12-11 02:39:50 PM

Well, that's pretty "Fair and Balanced©" IMO - you trash a guy in public, but donate money to him on the sneak. That's FOX News material indeed.

birdboy2000		2012-12-11 02:40:49 PM

What will Fox keep people terrified about and glued to their TV screens if a white Republican is president? Complaining about congressional dems just doesn't give the ratings.

So he's brought Regan back from the dead so he can fight economic policy from the 1980s...when the economy was better?

Sounds like the plot to the next Uwe Boll movie.

mark12A		2012-12-11 02:43:42 PM

Whoop-di-freakin'-do. The rest of the MSM are overwhelmingly Democratic and give their contributions to the Democratic party, as well as suppress stories unfavorable to their Obamessiah.

It is without question that Fox News is rightwing. And the entire rest of the media is in the tank for the Democrats. The fact that Fox News is dissident news drives the MSM batty. They *thought* they had total control of the media spin until Fox news showed up.

Deucednuisance		2012-12-11 02:43:45 PM

ampoliros: you have to tow the company line

TOE, Goddamit!

www.phrases.org.uk

Those red lines, right there. You can put your toe up to that line but not cross it.

It's "toe" for fark's sake!

Carn: We still have angry white people though right?

We are born angry. It's how we ran the planet for a couple of centuries, until everyone else could get angry in their own time.

CheekyMonkey		2012-12-11 02:44:35 PM

What? Spineless turds will parrot the company line for a sizable paycheck? Now I've lost all faith in humanity...

Yup. They all are.

Seriously, O'Reilly, anti-gun farkwad that he is, is really a very smart guy. Harvard I believe. He could easily and honestly debate everybody on his show.

But he knows shouting and controversy gets viewers. Hell, I know more lefties that watch his show than righties so they can get mad about something.

Stop watching TV news. It's bad for you.

Spanky_McFarksalot		2012-12-11 02:46:10 PM

He probably gets paid a lot of money to be an obamahater for fox.

I might go on TV and pretend to be a team player if they paid me enough.

But secretly I would be planning their downfall.

bwahahahahaha

DeaH		2012-12-11 02:46:39 PM

Look, just because you're paid to push the talking points on the right, it doesn't mean you're not smart enough to really want them to win.
