Fox News Vid Clip: "Some puny, little traitor, some leaker..." (NSA)


Fox News Host On NSA Story: Wall Street Won’t Let A ‘Puny Little Traitor…Take Down Our Market’

The Dow was down 120 points today, prompting Fox News’ David Ruder to suggest it was because USA Today made “the country less safe” by running its story on NSA’s data mining.

But Fox News host Brenda Butler disagreed, saying that Wall Street would “not going to let some puny, little traitor, some leaker who went ahead and compromised our national security, take down this, take down our market, take down our country.” Watch it:

Full transcript below:

RUDER: Many thought this was the week the Dow would hit an all-time high. We seemed well on our way and looked like Thursday could be the day. Well guess what? Then came the headlines in yesterday’s papers. A leak about national security. The president saying the country is less safe and stocks sell off big-time. A coincidence? So when national security is compromised, how closesly does Wall Street watch? With us now, the Cost-of-Freedom All-Stars, we’ve got Brenda Butler, she starts it off on Saturdays, the host of Bulls and Bears, along with Stormin-Mike Norman and Charles Payne. So Mike, a coincidence? I don’t think so.


RUDER: We saved the best for last. Brenda?

BUTLER: Let me tell you something. Wall Street knows, we are winning this war on terror. They are not afraid that we will win it. They are so secure in President Bush’s winning it, they are not going to let some puny, little traitor, some leaker who went ahead and compromised our national security, take down this, take down our market, take down our country, there is no way.

RUDER: Do you like this guy? I am not sure.

BUTLER: There is no way this is going to happen. Absolutely.

1. So what if a few hundred thousand people are tortured, killed,
maimed, driven crazy, lose their homes, their livelihoods, their children, their parents so that the dow can rise up in a viagara-like induced state?? I mean, really America, who gives a sh*t?

Why worry about the speck in your brother's eye.... etc, etc....

2. So--expect the market to tumble a bit, and when it does, it's all USA
Today's fault for reporting an important story.

I fully expect this to be one of the big TPs on tomorrow's blatering head shows, to be repeated endlessly on RW scream radio this week.

3. How can it be both "Nothing New" and "Tipping Off the Terrorists"?

How can it (the NSA story) be both "Nothing New" and "Tipping Off the Terrorists" to report it, at the same time?

4. It's the FAUX brain.
If we ever get out of the mess we're in and give due regard to good science, perhaps then it can be explained.

Don't hold your breath, though.

5. She worships Mammon of a "Paradise Lost"
Edited on Sat May-13-06 12:44 PM by IChing
Mammon in Paradise Lost

Milton wrote of Mammon:

Mammon led them on--
Mammon, the least erected Spirit that fell
From Heaven; for even in Heaven his looks and thoughts
Were always downward bent, admiring more
The riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold,
Than aught divine or holy else enjoyed
In vision beatific. By him first
Men also, and by his suggestion taught,
Ransacked the centre, and with impious hands
Rifled the bowels of their mother Earth
For treasures better hid. Soon had his crew
Opened into the hill a spacious wound,
And digged out ribs of gold...
- Paradise Lost, Book i, 678-690

No one can serve two masters.
He will either hate one and love the other,
or be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24

Mammon is the demon of avarice.



Montgomery Burns lives on Mammon Lane in the Simpsons for good reason.
