Griff Jenkins, a Fox Television correspondent, was waiting with a microphone for a crowd of demonstrators on a Denver street today, hoping to catch signs of a breakup of the herd of cats known as the American Left.

The crowd came ten, twelve abreast up the street. One group held up a banner saying No War In Iran. Chanting was happening. Griff was casting the scene as a discontented, perhaps unstable, mob out to oppose some things, maybe defend Hillary ( Fox's new g/f), or to assault whatever nefarious scheme the Party has in store. Whatever it was Grifff was Going In.

I've only seen the clip only once, so I'm sure I didn't get it totally right, but I know funny. And it is hilarious.

take it downtown

bob zimway's diary :: ::
Griff, an affable pencil neck, went to the middle of the street and waitied for the march to envelop him. Here they came, hordes of scruffy, awful looking people with who knows what on their minds, seemingly capable of World Bank, er, world class anarchy. Fox viewers watched with anticipation on the edges of their scratchy plaid furniture. What would happen?

Griff valiantly held up his mike to the first guy, "What are you demonstrating about?"

"Fuck you," came the reply.

Undaunted, Griff tried again, holding up his blunt instrument to another demonstrator, then another.

Maybe a half dozen answers pretty much exactly the same: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
They were mostly smiling, no doubt drenched in cannabisism.

Then Griff hit paydirt: a protester who could ( would), speak a sentence. "We don't talk to Fox."

Then, the comical wrap. As Griff was trying to engage this guy, he and his cameraman were jostled by the closing crowd and so as the picture shook with hand-held verite and Griff slid off the frame, we heard him crying, hey, don't.... <black>

Cut to studio where shaken blondehead huffs that the crowd has disrupted Griff's report, adding that she hope's he's all right. Something like that. I was gasping with pleasure by then.

I don't think we'll be seeing dat clip on Fox again, but I confidently await its emergence on UTube.

It's a great day in America.

[TechBear_Seattle]

10. Did he keep saying that the protesters did NOT believe in free speech?

Crimeny, so to speak out against the lies, hypocricy and blatant partisanship of Fox news is the same thing as opposing free speech?

Wow, Fox has really, really lost it, haven't they?

[zanne]

11. Here's a different video of that.

15. Ah, freedom of speech at it's FINEST

That's the right to NOT talk to the press.

Especially if it's out to denigrate or insult you.

Way to go, protesters.

17. "He refused to speak to me! (wah! wah!)"

maybe the guy was waiting for a real reporter to speak to ... you know, from a real news agency?

[jwirr]

24. Who were these protestors? I am not objecting to their message

just wondering what they were marching for before they were confronting faux news?

[Doremus]

49. No Iran War

He asked one guy what he was protesting and he said "death and war."

BTW, the reporter confronted the protesters, not the other way around, and got his answer ... just not the one he wanted to hear, lol.

[MiniMe]

25. LOL, Guess that isn't going to make the MSM

:rofl: As he stands there saying "don't you believe in freedom of speech?"

Does he even understand what that means? It means that people are free not to talk to them. Love them chanting Fuck Fox News.

And the name Griff? Seriously? Are his sisters named Buffy and Muffy?

[petersjo02]

34. And don't forget brothers Cottontale and Peter n/t

[Iggo]

26. Freedom of speech would be...

...Griff defending their right to say "fuck you" and "fuck fox news."

Fuckin nimrod.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Oh my fellow

Beautiful Democrats, Liberals, Progessives, Leftists in Denver. You did me proud when you started chanting "Fuck Fox News, Fuck Fox News!" :rofl: Whether we agree with all there or not - that dorky nerd had it coming! :rofl:

[mmonk]

28. .

:rofl:

I could watch that all night long.

[lamp_shade]

31. Blondie said "does that include Puerto Rico and Hawaii as well...

What is their concern?" It's in the video.

[DangerousRhythm]

44. I didn't understand that part either.

Odd.

[Cha]

32. Do you know what this means to me?!

America is waking up more and more and is willing to go to the mat against the main$tream media..cnn's next.

I don't know what they were "demonstrating" but it turned out they were marching against the biggest evil in the US..its so-called media.

[muntrv]

33. Next time, the crowd should also chant "Bill O'Loofalafel."

:evilgrin:

[Raine]

35. Hahahahaha

:rofl: :evilgrin:

[Orangepeel]

36. idiot fox guy thinks that "free speech" means you have to talk to him

did it air with the "fucks" unbleeped?

[sampsonblk]

38. Yeah baby! (link)

[CitizenLeft]

39. ROTFL!

Griff valiantly held up his mike to the first guy, "What are you demonstrating about?"

"Fuck you," came the reply.

:rofl:

Beautiful!

[mythyc]

40. K&R --- A thing of beauty

That clip made my day :bounce:

:smoke:

[bushisanidiot]

41. It's pretty sad had Fox tries desperately to stir up trouble just for ratings.

that asshole "reporter" went right to the middle of a MOVING march and stood there blocking people and shoving his microphones in their faces.. he was trying to instigate a fight. Most reports are on the sidelines trying to get comments from people as they pass by, not going to the middle of the march and BLOCKING marchers.

[eshfemme]

43. LOL, as an Obama supporter, even I found that amusing. I have to give the Green Party mad props

for having the balls to do that. But they're not really helping their cause by acting this way in the long run.

I can see the MSM salivating over this story though-- there's nothing they'd like better than seeing a live riot.

[shaniqua6392]

45. Freedom of speech also means you can choose not to speak.

Fixed News just does not get it. Fuck. Fox. News. That says it all. No one in the Democratic Party should talk to them either. It always disgusts me when I see anyone on our side give that sham of a network the time of day. It only serves to legitimize them and they don't deserve it.

[ellie]

46. NO!

We have to get over to Fox and apologize immediately! The American public cannot think that Democrats are angry! We CAN'T be seen as angry! We will lose every election from here until the end of time!

:sarcasm:

[No Elephants]

47. Nothing better than Dems standing together!

[NatBurner]

48. lol that was beautiful

[samsingh]

50. good - the idiot bondehead looked stunned

and by the way, these protestors are protesting against Democrats, so we can't be blamed for their actions.

[MiniMe]

51. And, surprise of all surprises, it turns out he is a freeper

And goes by the handle surferboy. Some other brave DU'er dug that up.
