“Just give them unwanted lethal injections, kill them all”
----Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fraud News' “Fox and Fiends”
It's been a week now since they sat there in the studio, perched upon their imperial asses, doing running commentaries on the problems facing this country. None of them has lifted a finger to study or inform themselves upon any topic whatever; none of them have worked a day in their lives, the only perspiration the result of studio lamps. None of them could pass a high school civics lesson, much less a college foundation course. The topic was homelessness in the United States, a subject wholly foreign to these millionaire's, and about which they clearly have no understanding. Nevertheless, there they were, holding court, complaining about the problem and demanding that the homeless submit to 'treatment' or face incarceration. Then Kilmeade, the most savagely ignorant among them, blurted out that they should be given lethal injections, against their will, ending with the exclamation “kill them”. His two colleagues uttered nary a gasp; and neither, in the aftermath, has the media.
It took until the weekend for Kilmeade to issue an apology, of sorts, in a time slot that has only a fraction of his mid-week audience. It was a limp-wrist-ed effort, visually looking like another Fox personality, that used prophylactic Jesse Watters.
This is a consequence of a forced, fraudulent, toxic masculinity. Watters, who replaced Sucker Carlson, who in tern replaced Bill-O-Reilly in Fox's prime time weekday news slot, has a demonstrable problem with masculinity. I mean just watch him.
He protests, too vehemently it seems, that he is 'straight', that he is heterosexual. But his body language betrays otherwise. He tells his audience that real men don't eat ice cream, and should never be seen drinking from straws; the phallic images evidently present themselves too graphically, too abhorrently. One should never, to be man, drink a milk shake.
“he can't be a man
'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarettes as me”
----The Rolling Stones “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction”
This is the mindset over at Fox, an organization that has swallowed whole the phallus of masculinity. Tough guys who never show any emotion, any compassion, any empathy. Hitler and the Nazis built an entire regime on this kind of sadistic perversity. This is one of the recurring themes evident in every fascist regime, and here you have it on full display.
“Kill them all”.
There are many homeless in the United States. Some estimate the number at nearly three quarters of a million. There are probably many more. Many are veterans of our armed services who have fought our nation's wars. Many are families made homeless by unemployment or underemployment. Many are now in the streets because they have been bankrupted by unmet medical bills. Some are there because of mental illness. None are getting any help and, being homeless, cannot now vote in order to get the nation's attention. They have fallen off the radar; they are the truly powerless.
“Kill them all.”
But they will find no empathy here, not on hate radio, certainly not on Fraud News. This is the state of political discourse in this country.
“Kill them all.”
How many are we to euthanize Brian? At what point does it reach genocide? What is clear is that the mindless Kilmeade has not thought the proposition through. He hasn't thought anything through. He doesn't think. He only reacts, like any true reactionary.
“Kill them all.”
It is time to challenge Rupert Murdoch's U.S. Citizenship, and question how he could ever have passed a citizenship examination. It is time to repeal the Communications Act of 1996 and return our media to real Americans. It is time to seize Murdoch's assets, challenge the broadcast license of Fraud News, and return to responsible broadcast journalism.
