More Fauci hate making a strong comeback at FOX

Fox News’ Jesse Watters Wants Someone to ‘Ambush’ Fauci With Conspiracies


https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7dbqj/jesse-watters-wants-fauci-ambushed-with-conspiracies

quote:

On Monday, Fox News host Jesse Watters told a crowd at the AmericaFest—a conference run by the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which also featured acquitted Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse—they should “ambush” Fauci with the “deadly” argument of Fauci funding research at the Wuhan, China, lab targeted with unproven allegations that it created COVID-19.

“The kill shot, with an ambush—deadly, because he doesn’t see it coming,” Watters said. “This is when you say, ‘Dr. Fauci, you funded risky research at a sloppy Chinese lab, the same lab that sprung this pandemic on the world. You know why people don’t trust you, don’t you?’”

“Boom, he is dead! He is dead! He’s done!” Watters said. “You do that, 30 seconds is all you need. You get that footage to us, to Fox… Imagine Tucker Carlson teases out of the A-block, ‘Brave college student confronts Lord Fauci at dinner!’”

“The guy should be fired on the spot,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.

I’m reminded of that time when two reporters from Gawker staked out his house to try and ambush interview him like he did to other people at O’Reilly’s behest. He was such a panicky coward that he immediately ran to his car and tried to run them over as he tore out of his driveway at like 60mph and down the street (in a residential neighborhood) in order to avoid being followed by them.

He’s such a little worm and he wants a body count just like big daddy Billo has.

quote:

In a rare moment of anger, President Joe Biden castigated social media users and cable news outlets that spread false and misleading information about coronavirus vaccinations, saying at a press conference Tuesday that the behavior is not only “immoral” but deadly.

“The unvaccinated are responsible for their own choices, but those choices have been fueled by dangerous misinformation on cable TV and social media,” he said while addressing the need for unvaccinated Americans to protect themselves against the fast-spreading new omicron variant.

“You know, these companies and personalities are making money by peddling lies and allowing misinformation that can kill their own customers and their own supporters. It’s wrong, it’s immoral,” he said, his voice rising. “I call on the purveyors of these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it now.”

Great, now lets actually do something about it.

Hottest new conspiracy theory from the right, courtesy of Jack Posobiec who was on Glenn Beck's show this morning (and was called "the smartest man on Twitter" by the host, Jason something who was filling in for Beck).

The reason Biden said that we had to thank Trump for the vaccines is because the left is about to do a complete 180 on vaccines. See, every other time Biden has mentioned Trump, it's to blame Trump for things like inflation, or leaving Afghanistan. So in the near future Biden will admit that the vaccines are dangerous because they were rushed out too quickly, and of course it will be Trump's fault for rushing them.

There is probably a reasonable middle ground for regulating obviously harmful speech. At the moment it’s very permissive such that your speech needs to lead to direct harmful actions.

However, civil monetary action may be more appropriate. The families of people who were harmed by these statements should be able to be compensated for the knowing harm spread by RWM.

Cranappleberry
Jan 27, 2009
Unlikely. And if there was it would be (and is) used to shut down leftist and marginalized group speech first and foremost.

For specific and explicit cases, like Alex Jones with Sandy Hook, then yes. Libel and slander is often hard to prove. Incitement seems to be near-impossible even when someone is naming names, saying specific people are outright child abusers that should be attacked or false-reported to government agencies.

For those giving medical advice without a license or are selling products and lying about their purported health benefits, possibly. It's criminal but the government does not often go after those doing it. If they do what Alex Jones does and sell a tiny amount of a purportedly helpful supplement in a pill that also contains dangerous amounts of heavy metals and satan-knows-what-else, then that is legal as long as there isn't a specific claim made. The labeling of something as a supplement offers huge protection as long as it's not a drug that's already scheduled or banned under the analogue act.

As far as prescriptions/drugs go, if they are based in and selling a product stored in and imported from another country and using a pseudonym, then good luck. It might violate the law in the US or your home country but that potentially puts you on the chopping block, not them unless they are large enough importers to be on a government agency's radar (and this is possible to avoid for both parties involved in the transaction).

Going after them is up authorities there and you would have to navigate an entirely different legal system to get an recompense, which is extremely unlikely you would qualify for if you were violating any laws.

So speaking of the Fascist Cinematic Universe, I see we now have an advertisement running for Agora Road, which seems to be a 4chan spinoff forum. It has casual use of the word 'fag', COVID denialism, a Lolcow thread (you know, Kiwifarms) and more. And, frankly, I think just being associated proudly and openly with 4chan is, you know, pretty loving gross and damning.

So that's nice.

It's interesting also how many evangelical conservatives could not accept the text of the bible as anything other than the literal truth yet go to bat for the figurative language defense when it comes to the utterings of their choice pundits.

Alex Jones’ Wife Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge

The right-wing provocateur said the problem stemmed from a "medication imbalance.”

Sheriff’s deputies took Erika Wulff Jones into custody and booked her into an Austin jail around 8:45 p.m. Friday. Jail records show the 43-year-old faces misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and resisting arrest, search or transport. She had not received a bond Saturday afternoon.

Alex Jones, an Austin resident and founder of the right-wing media group Infowars, declined Saturday to say whether he’d been injured or elaborate on what happened beyond that he believes it was related to his wife’s recent change of medication.

“It’s a private family matter that happened on Christmas Eve,” Jones told The Associated Press in a brief interview. “I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance.”

That image just sums up so well what must go on in the brain of your average conservative.

Needs a US Flag on a hole pin and maybe an eagle somewhere (since it's golf, heh). Shove a gun in someone's golf bag, have Jesus strolling across a water hazard and slap a Punisher logo on the golf cart and I think you might just have Republican Brain Bingo.
