Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt asserted on Thursday that America is great because it defeated communist Japan.
On Thursdays edition of Fox & Friends, the three co-hosts complained about a recent statement by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
Were not going to Make Donald Drumpf Again, Cuomo said on Wednesday. It was never that great. We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged.
On Thursday, Earhardt encouraged Fox News viewers to email the network with comments about Cuomo.
We want to know what you think, Earhardt said. We defeated communist Japan, radical Islamists. We ask our men and our women to go overseas to fight for our country and sacrifice so much for this great country so that we can be the land of the free, the land of the brave.

I wonder if this brain-dead twit realizes that her Dear Leader just revoked the security clearance of several of the people who played a major role in defeating those "radical Islamists." Many of those people she has been demonizing, including Brennan, Strzok, and Mueller were the ones who went overseas to fight for our country and sacrifice.

(That's 100% sarcasm. Of course that's not the most important thing. It down right sucks that women get judged on appearance only by Republicans and various other groups of troglodytic nincompoops. I understand why that pisses off our wonderful progressives. It's just difficult for me to fathom how many troglodytic nincompoops remain in America 2018. I feel we are nearly, tragically, surrounded by them.)

(54,399 posts)To Republicans, the degree of truth in your statements is determined by how good you look on TV (if female) or how convincing your authoritative bluster is (Hannity/Trump). Whether or not what you say has any basis in fact at all is no longer relevant to them.
Republicans think they are, too, entitled to their own facts.

(22,130 posts)front of us on a daily basis...I recall that rump wanted cameras in the WH so he could continue filming or whatever for the idiotic show he had (appren whatever (can't remember how to spell, never watched, don't care)). What an ass.
As a matter of fact, how good you look I think drives a whole lot of stuff in this superficial country of ours, when it shouldn't and the repugs for the most part seemed to realize this sometime ago.
Remember Scott Brown of MA (I think) on centerfold of magazine, not too terribly bright...still around.

(23,955 posts)gloating about this mistake is part of our messaging failure
Ainsley Earhardt is a dolt. the person who wrote the script she reads from the teleprompter may also be a dolt. however, when we mock them over this mistake, we miss the forest through the trees. what they said is stupid, like failing 7th grade history stupid, but that's barely a story.
first we need to be crystal clear about this: whether or not you happen to agree with his assessment, what Cuomo said was STUPID. like a nice batch of presents under a goddam christmas tree for NY Republicans. i think he can turn things around and still win his race this fall without depressing support for down-ballot races, but it will require a lot more effort now.
back to the dolts at Fox. we underestimate how forgiving their audience is. when she says, "we defeated communist Japan, radical Islamists," they're going to think, "well she misspoke, but what she meant is we defeated communists, Japan, and radical Islamists."
while we laugh at her doltishness and fixate on minutiae, they've already gotten the intended message and moved on to the next thing: bashing Gov. Cuomo. the rest of her statement provides an embrace of militarism, patriotism and a direct reference to the national anthem. what will Fox viewers remember? will it be the doltish mistake, or the nationalist call to support the troops that follows it?
i swear, the writers at Fox News probably dropped that turd into the mix just to confuse the liberals. while we're pointing and laughing and blogging and retweeting about how Japan wasn't communist, the target audience is getting pissed off and emptying their wallets at NY state races. this is a dismal situation for us, no question.
