‘Fox & Friends’: Delay NBC hurricane telethon because it might help Obama

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/02/fox-friends-delay-hurricane-telethon-because-it-might-help-obama/

these fucking guys!!

The hosts of Fox & Friends on Friday suggested that NBC should postpone a Hurricane Sandy telethon until after the election because making sure that the event did not benefit President Barack Obama was more important than helping storm victims.

NBC announced earlier this week that Christina Aguilera, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Sting would all be performing a the Friday benefit concert, “Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together.” Money collected during the one-hour broadcast will go to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

But because most of the announced stars have supported Obama in the past, conservative media have panned the concert as “an ode to Obama’s grand and glorious leadership during Hurricane Sandy.”

On Friday, Fox & Friends guest host Eric Bolling floated the idea that NBC had rushed the concert “to make President Obama look presidential.”

“It does look like they are trying squeeze things in,” co-host Steve Doocy agreed. “Where are the conservative performers? There aren’t any on the list I saw.

Joel from NY (I have no idea about the others although I know Sting keeps an apt in NY). They're helping their neighbors. Y'know, the kind of thing the pubs are always saying should take the place of the federal government.

You have to wonder if there is a human cell in their bodies. They have only one thing in their rhetoric all the time.

That's truly sickening. Then again the majority of the people that watch the channel may believe that too.

Well, he is the President.
Romney's the one trying to look Presidential.

A rightwing post not on DU posted, while Romney was in England, said "Romney in Europe - looking Presidential"

That was the same day a major British newspaper ran a HUGE headline saying :

"MITT the TWIT"

Hell, the sponsors of this concert want people to attend and contribute money.

If Steve Douchey wants to see conservative performers he should go to the Bumfuck County Fair in Possum Fart, Arkansas, because he won't find any in a benefit for suffering New Yorkers.

Now we end this week with Obama looking good and Mittens limping to the end. The dawn is breaking for them and by next Tuesday night they will be sitting in the fetal position, sucking their thumbs.

I thought all artists, actors and musicians were gay Commies anyway. What do they expect? After Ted Nugent does a 3-way with Victoria Jackson and that woman from "Everybody Likes Raymond," who is left? That would be a short concert.

Wisely kept off the air, because people will change the channel if they put the aging Ray Stevens and Pat Boone on there, Doocy, you fucking halfwit.
