Conservative Pigs and Shills Whine - attack Obama for seeking "ass to kick" over spill
Right-wing media have rushed to attack President Obama for responding to criticism that he spends too much time consulting experts rather than "kick[ing some butt]" by saying, "I want to know whose ass to kick." Many conservative media figures previously hyped criticism that Obama lacked emotion in his response to the oil spill.
Fox, right-wing media also criticize Obama's "ass to kick" comment
Obama responded to criticism that he was spending too much time consulting "experts and advisers" rather than "kick[ing] some butt" by saying "we talk to these folks" to get answers "so I know whose ass to kick."During a Today show interview which aired on June 8, co-host Matt Lauer asked Obama to respond to critics who say: "This is not the time to meet with experts and advisers. This is a time to spend more time in the Gulf and -- I never thought I'd say this to a president but -- kick some butt." Obama replied: "I'm going to push back hard on this, because I think that this is a -- just a -- an idea that got into folks' heads, and the media has run with it. I was down there a month ago before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago I was meeting with fisherman down there, standing in the rain, talking about what a potential crisis this could be. And I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."
Kilmeade calls the comment an "artificial, I'm tough because you wanted me to be tough" moment. On the June 8 edition ofFox & Friends, after playing the clip, co-host Brian Kilmeade called it "artificial, I am tough just like you wanted me to be tough." Carlson admitted that Obama is "in a no-win situation" regarding the emotional appeal but criticized him for "us[ing] the language that he used," calling it "phony," while co-host Steve Doocy called it "less presidential."
The conservative media sits around on its highly paid butt enjoying the worse environmental catastrophe in our history because it gives them a chance to act like an elites high school clique, throwing childish insults at Obama no matter what he does. Real patriotic Americans see Fox and dolts like Kilmeade for the anti-American hacks they are. hacks that will say anything to make a money.
Bill O’Reilly Says Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg Supports “Baby Killing?”
Now that Dr. George Tiller is dead, Bill O’Reilly doesn’t have him to kick around anymore. But as I have noted, that doesn’t prevent Bill from burnishing his anti-choice creds albeit in a less incendiary way than frequently alluding to somebody as a baby killer. But Bill is still able to provide affirmation for his anti-choice pals be it his belief that a Lila Rose Planned Parenthood “sting” video is for real or, as he did in a discussion in which he attacked SCOTUS Judge Ginsburg, proclaim that fetuses are babies and that so called “partial birth abortion” “kills” “babies.” So while his attack on Ginsburg isn’t as blatant as what he did to Tiller, the intent and the target audience are very clear.
On May 14th, Bill O’Reilly (who had attacked Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg earlier in the week) discussed Ginsburg’s dissent on the so called “partial birth abortion” (a term coined by the anti choice movement) ban. O’Reilly tried to paint Ginsburg as a wild eyed pro-choice radical whose personal views on abortion colored her legal opinion. I must admit that Megyn Kelly, who is an attorney, handled Bill’s pompous, condescending, and patronizing histrionics quite well. Ginsburg stated, in her dissent, that the decision “tolerates, indeed applauds federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists…” This view is anathema to anti choicers, like Bill, who claim that the procedure is never necessary and that the life of a fetus is more important than the life of woman carrying it.
Poor Bill thinks women are something to control like little robots to be there for his service and pleasure so it makes sense in a bizarre way that he thinks every woman's uterus should be controlled by him.
