3/5 "Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring a nuke into this country and kill a hundred thousand people with a well-placed nuke somewhere, OK? We would recover from that. It would be a terrible tragedy but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation...Well, they are destroying a generation. They are MUCH more dangerous. You know, we worry about Al Qaeda, and we should, but at the same time, let's not let the teachers unions escape." --FOX NEWS Quote of the week \_ Quoting who? \_ Fox News: still fighting the godless commies even after the USSR collapsed. \_ It's a totally useless quote without knowing who was quoted and the context. \_ It's Neil Boortz, which you could have found with a google. http://www.newshounds.us/2007/02/20/the_fox_news_war_on_america_teachers_unions_more_dangerous_than_al_qaeda.php http://preview.tinyurl.com/yojzaw (newshounds.us) \_ It's the motd. If the OP wasn't trolling they would have simply said so since they obviously had it in front of them. |

www.newshounds.us/2007/02/20/the_fox_news_war_on_america_teachers_unions_more_dangerous_than_al_qaeda.php February 20, 2007 - While the FOX News conservatives endlessly complain about liberals and Democrats "undermining" this country by exercising their Constitutional right to dissent, there's no smear too disgraceful for a conservative to throw the other way. Last night on Hannity & Colmes (2/19/07), FOX News fave Neal Boortz announced that teachers unions are more dangerous than Al Qaeda. That was just the first of many attempts to paint Americans with whom he disagrees as equivalent to enemy combatants. As a matter of fact, they were met with approval from Sean Hannity and, in all likelihood, Boortz will receive a repeat invitation. Apparently, Boortz' comments about the teachers unions are in the new book he was on the show to promote. Hannity, without any criticism, asked Boortz to explain why he thinks teachers unions are more dangerous than Al Qaeda. Boortz responded, "Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring a nuke into this country and kill a hundred thousand people with a well-placed nuke somewhere, OK? It would be a terrible tragedy but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation." Boortz continued, "Well, they are destroying a generation. You know, we worry about Al Qaeda, and we should, but at the same time, let's not let the teachers' unions escape." In the previous segment, Hannity had not-so-humorously joked that he would run for president in 2016, once he "got rid of" Alan Colmes. Now, the "patriotic" Hannity sounded like he'd love to get rid of any other Americans who might agree with Colmes. I have to sit next to this guy every night, liberal - insanely liberal... Boortz answered, "I consider them much the same way as I do a colonoscopy." OK, so he's a bedwetter, but he's the fairest bedwetter I know." During his portion of the interview, Colmes quoted from a section of Boortz' book accusing Democrats of harming the Iraq war effort. Colmes read, "Had (Democrats) not been so hell-bent on destroying the Bush presidency, if they'd shown a united front with the Commander-in-Chief and the troops, we'd have today complete victory in Iraq." "Freedom-loving" Hannity interrupted to say there were only 20 seconds left, although Colmes was only one and a half minutes into his segment. Colmes added, "So it's not the fault of the people running the war who've mismanaged it, it's the Democrats and the liberal (critics? But our efforts in Iraq have been sabotaged by Democrat hatred of George Bush." Colmes reminded Boortz that it's the "Democratic Party," not the "Democrat" Party. Boortz answered that he used the term "because it ticks them off." |
