I shall give up on my gender entirely if they’re stupid enough to vote for McCain just because they’re pet candidate came up short.

In other news, my friends and I have been getting a lot of mileage out of the “terrorist fist jab.” In Faux News’ opinion, all of my coworkers are terrorists, as are all of my outside of work friends and acquaintences. Our frequency of terrorist fist-jabbing has gone up exponentially. I soon may have enough “evidence” to prove that FNC has turned our entire society into a bunch of raving jihadists. It’s quite entertaining. Thank you for being total morons, Faux News!

I forget who said it, but the line that Goebbels would have had a hard time thinking up a propaganda network like Fox is right on the money. I try to avoid comparing my ideological opponents to Nazis, but there are just a a few cases where it’s too perfect a comparison and Fox is one of them. Based on fear mongering, deception, fierce nationalism, submission of the individual to an ethnocentric nation state, phantom enemies, sloganeering, open scorn of reason and intellectualism, exhortation to genocide, and cults of personality around party leadership, Fox News is the spitting image of the National Socialist propaganda machine. Sean Hannity would have been a cheerful brownshirt in 1937; if not him, who?
