Fox News "Liberal" Blasts liberals as "nuts", "intolerant", kisses GOP ass

[Grebrook]

Anyone seen this lady on Fox? I was breezing around the wikipedia page on Fox News and its allegations of bias section when I found a link to her biography: Kirsten Powers, a Fox News "Liberal" analyst. Her "Powers Point" blog reveals that apparently she's another closet Pat Caddel, Ed Koch, Zell Miller GOP asskisser who spends most of her time bitching about the same things conservatives bitch about: 'outrageous liberals!'

So Fox News hired some delusional right-wing wannabe who calls liberals everything she can think of, 'racist', 'intolerant', 'fanatical', 'nuts'. She apparently closed her comment section after someone posted on her blog calling her a suck up or something similar and had a hissy fit.

It reminded me of the hissy fit Susan Estrich had a few months back when she whined because liberals confronted her about being employed by Fox News and helping them run propaganda against the Democrats (It's so outrageous that she be critized for taking a pay check for the man that marketed the Willie Horton ads against Michael Dukakis, isn't it? Oh those outrageous liberals! Why can't they just get over things like sleezebag Republican campaign tactics and blatant race-baiting!)

3. Outrage over Fox News is a waste of energy.

We know what they are and how they operate; they're a joke.

4. You seriously think Fox News would pay someone who's liberal?

[Selatius]

7. They might pay somebody who is lukewarm liberal

By that, I mean they may have some leg-room on social issues but are neoliberal as far as economic/trade policy.

8. Well, they have on Wes Clark - and he certainly never gives

liberals a bad name when he speaks. In fact, he makes laughing stocks of InSannity and O'Lielly when they try to, as mere pundits, use Rovian talking points against his mature, thoughtful and experienced wisdom.

So, yes - there is at least one person in Faux's employ who is a liberal, speaks like a liberal, doesn't call liberals names and gives the wingnuts the hell they deserve(even though I'm not really sure he's paid - he's still under contract and cannot appear on any other cable news shows - he can appear on network).

[Grebrook]

11. Too bad he's never really on. I like Bob Beckel, he's kind of jolly, hard

to hate him, I can't really tell whether he's a real liberal or more of a quiet centrist. Problem with Wesley Clarke is that he's never brought on, and when he is, it's for military matters and now simple politics. Gingrich probably gets about 5 or 6 times as much air time as compared to Wesley Clarke.

9. But what about Alan Colmes?

Oh wait... I think I just made your point for you.

17. Assuming Hannity will actually let him speak for once....

6. If I am not mistaken,

this is the same woman that a few months back alot of people here were singing her praises because of the way that she debated someone

I recognize the name but fuzzy on the exact details

[w13rd0]

10. You are correct...

...she was praised, with trepidation, for her smackdown of some right-wing nutjob. But as was noted in the thread, she's a "Lieberman Democrat" and unabashedly "centrist" (centre-right). But she's attractive, so you had more than a few DUers making googly eyes...

12. She made Ann Coulter cry and then leave the show

for that she will always have a special place in my heart!

14. You are not mistaken. Check these threads out:

Crybaby Coulter chased off H&C by Colmes Substitute!!

So, is Kirsten Powers still being allowed on the Fox News property?

13. Another stupid right-wing asshole, "'intolerant' is synonymous with

conservative.

16. And this is noteworthy.... how? n/t

NO MORE COMMENTS SECTION

Thanks to the liberal nut who seems to be obsessed with me and chose to insult other posters he/she does not agree with, I've shut down the comments section. Score another one for liberal intolerance.
