Faux News Calls "Billionaires for Bush" a rare Pro-Bush group!!!!! Honest!

[Ruby Romaine]

BOSTON — While the Democratic National Convention (search) sticks to carefully scripted themes, political chaos reigned just outside the tightly guarded gates of the Fleet Center on Tuesday.

In addition to Democratic Party loyalists, a wide range of political groups has descended on the city lining up on both sides of every major issue — and quite a few minor ones.

A rare pro-Bush group, Billionaires for Bush (search), paraded through Boston's streets, facetiously stressing what Bush had done for them.

2. "Facetiously stressing what Bush had done for them"

Is it possible that Faux is so dense? Or is it merely propaganda?

I generally figured it was just propaganda, but when I look at Shepard Smith, I start to think they really are that dense.

:shrug:

5. If Kerry can stress this fact to the middle and lower class and...

tell them to vote, the election would be in the bag. If it were real, that is. The BFB have their own website at http://billionairesforbush.com/index.php

8. Even They use the term "facetiously"

"A rare pro-Bush group, Billionaires for Bush (search), paraded through Boston's streets, facetiously stressing what Bush had done for them."

I think their editors got it - though maybe not. The real question is will their readers?

"Wow. The Billionaires are for him, maybe I should be too. I want to be a billionaire . . . "

11. it reads

like a rare group in boston this week for bush not that billionaires for bush is rarely for bush.

they may want to find a new copy editor.

14. If it was serious, it would be a rare pro-Bush group

It would be a group that has a reason to be for Bush.

Bush has really done quite a lot for billionaires.

I'm surprised no one's started a Parents of Too Many Draft-Age Sons for Bush.

15. That's too good.

16. We do know that "facetiously" means "not sincerely" yes?

I don't think this counts as Faux being taken in by these guys.

Just trying to maintain SOME kinda grip on reality around here....
