Slow news day at Fox results in conservative revolt against Sam Adams (the beer)

[scott]

Sam Adam's didn't include God in their latest ads, because industry advertising guidelines demand as much, but this doesn't stop the Fox & Friends crew from making the logical leap that this means "Da turrists have won!".

Samuel Adams Facebook page is bombarded with hilariously ironic insults like "You are fake patriots! I'm sticking with real American beers like Bud!" (Bud, of course, is owned by Belgian-based conglomerate InBev)

Fox News Inaccurately Blames Obama for Killing Marines’ July 4th Fireworks

If there’s one thing Fox “News” conservatives are good at, it’s finding new ways to blame President Obama for their own party’s policies. This 4th of July was no different.

This time around, Fox Republicans are blaming Obama for the financial hits from the Republican sequester that Obama kept telling Republicans would be a very bad thing and should not be allowed to stand. And note the racial resentment cherry on top of Fox Nation’ (http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/07/04/obama-spends-100m-african-trip-cancels-marines-july-4th-fireworks#ixzz2YBH5YqLt)s headline. “Obama Spends $100M on African Trip But Cancels Marines’ July 4th Fireworks.”

Just how disingenuous of a title is that for the AP story? Well, in the story it clearly spells out that the boom is gone because of budget cuts and furloughed fireworks. Who is to blame? The AP says, “The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion across-the-board cuts that began in March. Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.”

It is Republicans in the House who refuse to begin the process of budget reconciliation, so… that leaves a finger pointing right at Republicans unless you work at Fox “News”. President Obama has been warning the nation about the then impending sequester since at least February.

Even Speaker John Boehner admits that President Obama didn’t want the sequester cuts. (http://www.politicususa.com/2013/03/21/john-boehner-admits-president-obama-sequester-cuts.html) We got here because Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling to pay for their spending. The threat of sequester be added into the Budget Act of 2011 in order to force both sides to compromise when the time came. The time came, and Republicans refused to compromise — or rather, Speaker Boehner couldn’t get his Tea Party caucus to compromise with the Speaker’s own proposals. House Republicans refused to raise a dime of revenue.

Of course the fist-bumping Muslim terrorist anti-American Kenyan NEGRO foreigner cancelled the military's 4th of July fireworks.

Yeah, that wasn't tongue-in-cheek at all.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah tbh, i hate Fox News jeebotards as much as the next guy, but it sounded like all that "the terrorists have won" stuff was said in jest. Unfortunately the average uneducated Fox News watching moron didn't get that it was a joke.

Evidently, a lot of libtards didn't get that it was a joke.

[Spurminator]

The "terrorists have won" may have been tongue in cheek. The manufactured outrage of devoting a segment to it was not.

And if it was, there sure are a lot of "conservotards" who missed it too, judging by SA's Facebook page.

You wish it was.
