FOX attacks Obama's Lewis Eulogy: "He's a disgrace"

A disgrace? Really FOX. Do you need a clue that you world of lying is dying.

FOX so wrong so often, lead by Hannity, it keeps its nose up non-reality's bung hole on most everything. Herman Cain was a FOX believer-sadly others will meet Mr. Physics too. Reality will take its toll as true believers, unfortunately, are taken to their graves.

Right-wing media was quick to criticize Obama’s eulogy, claiming the former president had politicized the event. Some conservative media personalities mocked Obama and derided his speech as a campaign event for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Even following a solemn funeral in which this country’s first Black president praised the legacy of a champion for civil rights, right-wing media continued to demonstrate its shameless hatemongering.

He believed in politics as a civil means of fighting for justice for the people. A eulogy to John Lewis that WASN’T political, would be an insult to him and to his legacy.

FU Fox!

I try to minimize cursing only because that's the best way to make it count when something is so over the top awful or offensive. I think trying to attack Obama by whitewashing John Lewis's legacy (both literally and figuratively) definitely counts!

Cheers to you as well!

Bush (8 f'n years) now Trump have left a legacy of wars, 9/11, war crimes, economic distress, and outright lawlessness. Reagan was a fabrication of the fevered minds of Neoliberalism.

Obama is a great one.

And, as for politicizing (any and all) events, 45 has no equal. He can turn an Easter egg hunt into a Nuremberg rally.
