Fox Chief: Clinton Response an 'Assault'

Filed at 8:17 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fox News chief Roger Ailes says former President Clinton's response to Chris Wallace's question about going after Osama bin Laden represents ''an assault on all journalists.''

Ailes said Clinton had a ''wild overreaction'' in the interview, broadcast on ''Fox News Sunday.'' Hundreds of thousands of people subsequently watched clips over the Internet, with Fox foes rallying behind Clinton.

Saint Roger Ailes, the same man who cooked up the whole Willie Horton campaign against Dukakis in 1988, the man who put the FU in Fox News is now playing Mr. Nice Guy and pretending that mean old Clinton scared him. I think he might be partly right, I can see where you could call Clinton's words to be an "assault on all BAD journalists."

Right-wingers hate it when you use facts to beat them over the head. And who can blame Bill Clinton after the whole ABC thing, making out that the blood of 3000 people are on his hands. Then snippy little Chris slides him that Don't cha think you could have done more to catch Osama stuff.  This from the mouth-piece of the neo-cons who have had 5 years to kill Osama and can't. 

Stephen Colbert coined the word "truthiness"  in recent months. The Republicans learned from the master Rove to be experts of "truthiness", the ability to sound like your telling the truth when you aren't. It's "truthiness" when Condi and Satan Cheney ignore the Senate subcommittee report that stated in no uncertain terms that there was no connection between Sadam and Iraq and Osama and 9-11.  Both Condi and Satan spoke"truthiness" the next weekend and said indeed there was a connection. It was "truthiness" when Condi said Clinton was lying, yes sir, the Bush-Cheney team was all over Osama between the inauguration and the day of 9-11.  While Clinton offers up facts to back up his statement, Condi Douche-Rice offers none.  Bush is putting out "truthiness" when he says we do not torture. Anyone who has paid any attention to the news the last 3 years has seen with their own eyes that we do indeed torture.

Saint Roger Ailes is being "truthy" when he uses Clinton justifiable anger as a sign that Democrats have launched a jihad against journalists.  What crap!  I guess saying Hitler was bad is an assault against all German journalists?  It is the job of every good Democrat to put "truthiness" to bed until after the elections. After Democrats sweep across America maybe they can go to work next year to remove"truthiness" from our government entirely. We should all hate both Democrat and Republican lies equally.  "Truthiness" has put chicken hawks in charge of our military. "Truthiness" put Bush's cronies in charge of national security and killed a ton of people in the Gulf after Katrina moved through."Truthiness" says we're winning in Iraq. "Truthiness" gave us stories of WMDs in Iraq, gave us fake newsmen-gay-hooker-party-boys in the White House, gave us Kerek, Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, Conrad Burns, Lyndie England, Ken Lay, Heck of a Job Brownie, the silly Gang of 14, secret black site prisons, journalists that are paid by the White House, fake news stories, NSA wiretaps on Americans.............the list is endless even when pixels are free.

Every good American should take Bill Clinton's lead and refuse to let "truthiness" slip by unpunished. Not in Washington DC, not in Little Rock, Arkansas, not in your home or place of business or your church. When someone puts out "truthiness", take a big breath and let them know they're wrong and should be ashamed.  It's the only thing we can do on a local level that might help save our country.  Times up! The Serious Season has started, take no prisoners! Death to Truthy!
