First the video:
The Story via the MRC’s CMI:
Ever since CNN HLN’s “Joy Behar Show” has splashed on the scene, it has become little more than a show dedicated to bashing conservative, specifically former CNN HLN host, now Fox News host Glenn Beck.
The Oct. 15 broadcast of host Joy Behar’s show was no different. First it tackled the issues of the day, like Arianna Huffington’s take on whether or not Vice President Joe Biden should resign based on what President Barack Obama does in Afghanistan. Then Behar and her two guests, actor and left-wing activist Richard Belzer and New York Daily News Columnist Liz Benjamin discussed Rush Limbaugh’s failed effort to buy a stake in the NFL’s St. Louis Rams and the feud between Fox News and the White House.
Behar made suggestion Limbaugh represents himself as someone who is not “in the mainstream” because he argued on his Oct. 14 show the backlash was in part generated by liberal activists threatened by the notion Limbaugh could be considered to be in the mainstream. That notion was one which Belzer lashed out at and called Limbaugh and Fox News host Glenn Beck “fascist stooges” (emphasis added):
Behar: Isn’t Rush Limbaugh in the mainstream? He acts like he’s not.
Belzer: This whole thing of conservatives saying they’re not in the mainstream, you know, as we all know, it’s the biggest crock. They have the courts, they had the presidency, they had the Congress, they have their own network.
Behar: But he’s not a politician. I guess that’s what he means – he’s just a radio – just like Glenn Beck they’re kind of like on the sidelines provoking and provoking.
Belzer: They’re fascist stooges who in the true sense of that word, that’s not hyperbole…
Benjamin: But why should he not own a team?
Behar: They don’t want him.
Belzer: Well, because other businessmen…
Hmmmm, if Back and Limbaugh are fascist stooges, would that not make Obama and his Administration communist stooges?
Seriously, is this the best that the left has? I mean, just because a major network; that just happens, not to be drinking the kool-aid and happens to be critical of the President and his policies; that is automatically a qualifier for being labeled a fascist? How absurd. This is another one of those “Last Resort” cards that is being played by the Democrats. First, it was racism; every time a Republican or a Conservative criticized the President, the Democrats cried race, now it is the fascism card. Good Lord. 🙄
For the record, Glenn Back has a very valid point, The White House communications director is a fan of Mao. I mean, here is the video: (H/T HotAir)
So, pointing this fact out; is fascism? I think the liberal left needs to do a serious study into what exactly fascism truly is. Because I have news for them; pointing out facts, is journalism and if this President Administration cannot handle that, then they need to resign. It is very ironic though, that the very same party, that criticized Bush during his term in office and literally almost had a stroke, when some Conservatives accused them of being anti-American for their questioning of the President; are now playing the fascism and race card against those who dare to criticize the new President and his domestic and foreign policies, and the his so-far tepid handling of the war in Afghanistan.
But then again, we are talking about god-less and quite frankly; brain-less Liberals.
