Fox Echo Chamber Response to NYC Bomber

Two different flavors of “Fox's UnFair and Unbalanced” response:

1) The citizenship-stripping Liebermongery

2) Solemn pronouncements that Miranda warnings have magic powers.

Both are indeed as dumb as they are dogmatic. Citizen-stripping and ending Miranda warnings for arrested terrorists would be utterly pointless as far as coping with terrorism goes, but both are deeply-held tenets of wingnut fundamentalism nonetheless. As is the perhaps even more absurd but devoutly held article of goobery right-wing faith that unless everyone screams out OMIGOD THE MUSLIMS ARE COMING TO KILL US every time some Pakistani with a grievance fails to properly set his underpants on fire, America is doomed, or, rather, Dooooooooomed.

But hey we should really be looking at Goldman Sachs influence. Look at the reduction of Coal Mine regulations costing humnan lives. And don't forget the onging devastation of the US Gulf of Mexico and the capping of British Petroleum liabilities all the while they are getting record profits. American taxpayer's get the bad, the multinationals get the profits with no regulation. And by the way, they pay less of tax rate than you or I. As Warren Buffet says often, he pays less taxes than his seretary. But does Fox News tell you this? Does Lieberman?

Be careful to look behind Lieberman and Hannity's curtains, you may find the real rich wizards there.
