Poor Bill Ayers and his attack by "Big Brother" FOX News

We are officially living in a parallel universe, a bizarro world, an alternative dimension. Call it what you will, but this is no longer planet earth, and definitely no longer America.

I watched a portion of Bill Ayers' breathlessly anticipated speech at the All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington on Nov. 17 where he compared FOX News to the government run media in the ficticious city Oceania in George Orwell's 1984. Here is his entire quote:

“The great lie that’s been perpetrated…that somehow I’ve been a violent person…all of it false, and I couldn’t find a way to interrupt the demonization. There were times when I felt like that wonderful moment in George Orwell’s 1984 called the 2 minutes of hate where they would cast Emmanuel Goldstein image up on the screen and the party faithful would chant, "Kill him." The only thing is Gorge Orwell had quite an imagination but he couldn’t imagine FOX News I mean….who would imagine such a thing, 24/7…2 minutes hate forget about it, it’s hate all the time.”

Yes, this “elementary education theorist”, this great professor from Chicago University believes that FOX News is similar to the lie infested, utopian media from the brilliant book 1984. I once believed that the title professor meant something. Recently, however, I’ve found that in order to be a professor at our nations leading colleges one doesn’t need anything more than a radical point of view and friends in the right places. A little bit of daddy’s money doesn’t hurt either. In fact, colleges are the favorite hiding places for the domestic terrorists from the 1960’s and 70’s who were never put in prison and laid low on their parents money or in Europe until things quieted down.

However, this man is worse than the rest. As many of you know, although a good majority of Americans still do not, Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, which bombed a number of buildings during the 1960s and 1970s. Just take a look at the flippant way the media, Wikipedia, and Ayers himself disregards the fact that this included the pentagon, NY City police headquarters and the United States Capitol Building. He freely admits that he formed the Weather Underground, admits he placed these bombs, but says they were small bombs, itsy-bitsy really, and he didn’t set out to kill anyone. Apparently if the bomb is small, and it was the 60’s, and it wasn’t an abortion clinic, and you aren’t a Christian, and it was done in the name of “protesting the war” than setting bombs on federal buildings does not make you dangerous or a terrorist. Also, you never have to define how setting bombs actually stops the war. That was “the past”. Kind of like “the good old days” only instead of playing stick ball in the street it’s playing with nails and a timer. Ayers and the media have redefined the meaning of the words terrorist, violent, and dangerous. And hey, he escaped jail time right? Well, that was mostly because of a technicality, not to mention the fact that his father was a gazillionaire and had ties to people that only those living in Chicago had ties to, if you get my drift.

Re-read his quote carefully. It goes in tandem with what he said on Good Morning America the Friday before, relating to an article that was written, and brought to the American forefront with great exaggeration by Obama in the third debate, where at a Palin rally, when she mentioned Obama “palling around with terrorists”, someone allegedly shouted “Kill Him”. Later, that story was quietly retracted and proved to be false, but Ayers is referencing it here as though it is true. Why not, none of his audience watches FOX, reads alternative new sources, or listens to talk radio so how would they know it’s been retracted, right?

As a refresher, 1984 is a book every high school student used to have to read in order to make them understand and appreciate the freedoms we have here in America and what Utopian society and an over intrusive Big Brother can do to civilization. The entire quote by Ayers is the definition of irony. NBC just released a DVD entitled “Yes We Can” which is a drooling documentary about Barack Obama. The Project for Excellence in Journalism (hardly a right wing think tank) notes that FOX had the most balanced coverage of the candidates with 40% being negative towards McCain and 40% negative towards Obama. How exactly is this Orwellian? THIS is the great government run media machine? And over at MSNBC they had 73% positive stories on Obama and only 26% negative. PEJ stated that in the press overall Obama’s coverage was 36% vs. 29% positive/negative. For McCain overall it was 14% positive vs. 57% negative. And let me remind you, at FOX news, it was 40/40. Only on FOX News did people get more than just bumper sticker talking points and feel good messages. The comment by Ayers is so ironic because he is saying that FOX News is representative of the Orwellian media which is information given to the masses in small bits and only at the governments approval. The media exists in “1984” only to propagandize what Big Brother wants the people to believe, think, and feel. The consumer gets only enough information to use to justify their feelings and their mind fills in the blanks. They are led to feel enraged (as in the 2 Minutes of Hate) based on whomever the leader deems is the enemy at hand with no information and no ability to get any information, and the people are sheep with no ability to think, feel, or act for themselves. And the person being slandered has no recourse because Big Brother owns the media and the victim has no way to reach the people.

So Bill Ayers is the victim here, and FOX News is the evil media outlet being driven by the evil Republicans (but I guess they try to hide it within their 24/7 hours of hate by attacking the Republicans 40% of the time) and with no information whatsoever (according to him), his face is flashed on the screen and like sheep, the watchers of FOX (and listeners of talk radio) absorb the hate. Of course the viewers of MSNBC get no alternative information at all, and without FOX News we wouldn’t even know about Obama’s connection to the Wood’s foundation or what he did with the fifty million dollars given by the Annenberg foundation or that Ayers did host a political coming out get together for Obama at his home and that maybe many people would like to know these things about their future President. The irony is this: it’s NBC who has an owner who is also the owner of GE, who funds the EPA in Washington and is the pusher of the global warming scare, and is the maker of all the global warming necessities, and has been given $130 billion in government bailout money, and NBC and her affiliates, including MSNBC, are supposed to be members of the Free Press News yet release a DVD honoring the newly elected President, and yet somehow it’s FOX News, the only station that mentioned Obama’s connections to Bill Ayers, that is the government run propaganda machine.

Yes, Ayers has no outlet, he is demonized with no way to set the record straight, and FOX is Orwellian for giving out all the information about a candidates past and naming names in a financial scandal rather than that nice MSNBC who has kind things to say about Mr. Ayers’ friends who just happen to be the candidate running and the guys ones over in Washington who still have their jobs in Congress and whose names would still be a mystery. Yes Bill, its FOX News that scares me. Because we all know, George Orwell believed the real danger was people having TOO much information.
