Roger Ailes: NPR Run By 'Nazis,' Jon Stewart 'Crazy'

[onehandle]

Source: Huffington Post

Fox News chairman Roger Ailes called NPR executives "Nazis" and said Jon Stewart is "crazy" in the second part of his interview with The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz. (In the first part of the interview, published on Wednesday, Ailes said that Obama's "socialism" was "too far left" for international allies, and that the president has "a different belief system than most Americans.")

Ailes spoke about NPR in the context of defending Juan Williams, who was fired from the public radio network after his comments about Muslims on Fox News. Ailes gave Williams a new, multi-million dollar contract in response to the firing. He told Kurtz that he had done so because he was "mad," and wanted to look after Williams and his family. But he reserved his greatest anger for NPR executives:

"They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don't want any other point of view. They don't even feel guilty using tax dollars to spout their propaganda. They are basically Air America with government funding to keep them alive."

Ailes also blasted Jon Stewart, who has made Fox News perhaps his biggest target on "The Daily Show."

1. And there are still people who compare....

MSNBC to Fox News....

[sharp_stick]

2. I love the way these assholes

toss around words like Nazi and Socialist without the slightest clue what they actually mean.

[RaleighNCDUer]

3. He knows what 'Nazi' means. He read the booklet that came with the

sign-up sheet and the under-the-lapel pin.

[Owl]

34. +1

[notadmblnd]

4. Comparing organizations to Nazis is so passe

Isn't there anything scarier that people can come up with to demonize others?

[Bette Noir]

26. Zombies?

[BakedAtAMileHigh]

5. Ira Glass + David Sedaris are Nazis?!?!?!?

My God, who knew?? Thank you, Roger Ailes, for your fair and balanced coverage of this fascist takeover of our public airwaves by "Nazi Public Radio"!!! :eyes:

[Kolesar]

13. Isn't Ailes one of Nixon's guys?

+1 for your comment

[pinto]

6. "a different belief system than most Americans."

I wonder what he means...

:banghead:

[unblock]

33. most americans believe their skin is white

[Roy Rolling]

7. Fox News...

the victim channel for washed-up broadcasters, politicians, bureaucrats and viewers that feel the world is out to get them.

[Botany]

8. But he hires perky people

[rfranklin]

14. Love that "upskirt" camera angle!

Right wing jerkoff news!

[Botany]

17. Rupert Murdoch started this years ago w/ his page 3 girls

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Three

These Fox News' anchors are just an updated version of that t. & a. fluff.

[rfranklin]

18. yeah, if they were topless I might watch it...

with the sound off.

[L.Torsalo]

42. He hires perky

Nazis. Seriously, what's it going to be? "Stewart and the Jews run everything" or the "leftwing Nazis run everything" or Ailes is batshit crazy and shouldn't be involved in mass media...you choose.

[BeyondGeography]

9. Ailes embodies the perpetually aggrieved state of the Right

It says something about their terminal unhappiness, but, mostly, it's good for business.

[hatrack]

10. Whatever you say, Jabba . . .

:puke:

[rocktivity]

11. I guess it takes someone who's crazy and a Nazi

to know one.

:headbang:
rocktivity

[The Wizard]

12. OK

Is it time to send Roger Ailes fried pork rinds? How come all the right wing propagandists look like Bergen-Belsen guards?

[Deep13]

15. Fascist.

Accusing others of what they are guilty of has worked well for the Rs in the past.

[Mosaic]

16. Obvious projection

By this lying asshole.

[Roland99]

36. +1

[villager]

19. the entirety of rightwing politics is based on upon projection

...and the evidence is constantly coming in...!

[pattmarty]

20. And, after this "interview", this guy isn't considered 100% prime fucking insane?

[Zoeisright]

21. Gee, Roger, project much?

Those are the things YOU do, you pompous airbag.

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Damn! I was just about to post the same thing. n/t

[glitch]

23. Check his meds.

His cover is slipping.

[Bette Noir]

24. Mighty fair and balanced of him.

[pattmarty]

25. Ok, now I get it. After checking Wiki I see he's 70 yo and he's just.............

............fucking senile. Surrounded by all those "hotties" and drooling all over himself, shitting his depends, he just wants to call everybody a Nazi. He kind of looks like an "older" version of Curly of the three stooges. I have a question; why would Kurtz (who in my opinion is a shitbag on his own) want to "interview" IT?

[AlbertCat]

27. OK... so if NPR is "Nazi" and Jon Stewart is "crazy"...

... That would make Fox News the Khmer Rouge


and Ailes himself Charles Manson.






How's that for equivalencies?

[pansypoo53219]

28. of course he is pissed with NPR for canning WAAAAAAAN.

he was a Fux gnews MOLE.

[orbitalman]

29. Roger Ailes is a "crazy-Nazis." n/t

[FlyByNight]

30. Yet another Con projecting again

The aptly named Ailes ("ails"?) is a fascist and vulgar propagandist. This is just more narrative and dog-whistle politics. Truly an awful person.

:eyes:

[City Lights]

31. How professional.

:thumbsdown:

[Mz Pip]

32. Ailes may not be pleased

when Stewart gets through with him. Ailes has just proved Stewart's point and is going to get his ass fat handed to him.

[CatholicEdHead]

35. Just like Rupert (or maybe James) Murdoch attacking the BBC

as the "biggest threat to free speech" out there. Alies is just going after similar national media sources.

[KamaAina]

37. Two words: Godwin's Law.

You lose, Roger.

[HughBeaumont]

38. Can someone send this corpulent waste of cells more Quarter Pounders?

I think just 10 more ought to do it.

Hmmm, maybe the reason John makes your network a target is that it spouts nothing but proven RNC circus agitprop 24/7?

[neverforget]

39. Since the election, the Repubs have been letting their crazy fly out in the

open.

[sakabatou]

40. Stop projecting, Roger

[Iris]

41. Wouldn't Nazis have liked what Juan Williams said?

Except maybe they'd have liked it better if he had said "Jewish garb"

[UTUSN]

43. So, Jon, keep on reaching out to and making nice with wingnuts n/t

[Festivito]

44. Either thee or these, and I think thou dost project too much. /nt
