Fox Nation Readers Smear Andy Griffith

Posted by Ellen -384.80pc on July 04, 2012 · Flag

If you thought Fox Nation readers would have enough class to put aside political differences and show some respect to the newly-deceased Andy Griffith - well, you'd be wrong. Although the post, itself, had a banner saying, "FOX NATION SALUTES," many of the readers had nothing but smears and jeers for his passing. Screen grabs after the jump.

Here’s something I hope you’ll all enjoy. It’s a very nice tribute in the memory of Andy

Have a safe fourth everyone, and please don’t forget your four legged family members. Fireworks can be very scary to our dogs and cats as July 5th is the busiest day of the year for our animal shelters.

People who post derogatory remarks about such an iconic figure like Andy Griffith should have their internet accounts shut down. Morons….

Oh, and for the record, I’m a conservative, but I think these people who were posting negative stuff about Andy Griffith have crossed several lines and should be shut down.

I’m not surprised at the hate displayed at the FokkksNashun cesspool by the racist hatefilled pigs who live there. I remember a couple of years ago when an “e-vile Hollywood librul” died, (I can’t remember who it was), the pigs at FokkksNashun were disgusting, saying they can hardly wait until all e-vile Hollywood libruls die painful deaths.

Andy Griffith was one of my favorites. One of his most memorable roles was Lonesome Rhodes. I’m sure that role is why the FokkksNashun pigs hated him. Griffith showed them what was going to happen to their mini-god batshitcrazy beckkk.

Hating on the late Andy Griffith is well passed “unhinged” on the hate scale. The one post eludes that Andy Griffith was likable until the poster found out he was a democrat. They cannot see beyond their hatred for democrats and Obama to give a genuinely talented man his due. Yes, Kyer….“selfish” is the perfect word.

Sheriff Andy once tried to explain to Barney why Otis drank. I do believe Andy would explain the TeaPublicans in much the same way, “Some people like to knit, other folks like to collect stamps. TeaPublicans’ hobby is hating.”

These bible thumping halleluia shouting people are out of control with their hate.
If we somehow don’t stop them they will run around the streets with heavy guns and blast anyone away who either looks different or doesn’t think like they do.
And they have the nerve to call themselves Americans and Christians. Every day this country gets more scary to live in.

Such polarization and dehumanizing of the other side is killing this country.

Assholes

I could almost wish the right wing got the theocracy they want; biblical law would result in the execution of most of them, then we’d be rid of them and go back to the anti-theocratic Republic the founders designed.

@doors 17. My sentiments exactly. The Fux Nation is a sick bunch. To everyone in the NewsHounds family: Have a great 4th of July.

Wow. At least we won’t have to imagine what their reaction will be when Jane Fonda dies.

Mr. Griffith did an internet ad with Ron Howard and Henry Winkler in 08 supporting Obama and did a pro health care ad. He was a lifelong Democrat.

I loved the Andy Griffith Show, especially during the Don Knotts years. When I heard yesterday that he had died I gave out a long and sad noooo.

Look Fox Nation I didn’t agree with the politics of John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart, but I loved their movies. At least put your hate aside for one day and take the time to honor someone who brought us so much laughter and love.

After hearing the news didn’t many of us start whistling the theme song The Fishing Hole from the show? RIP Mr. Griffith, and thank you.

Such fine Americans!!
In all likelihood, they smell as bad as they spell….

I don’t remember Andy peddling reverse mortgages (not saying he didn’t) But I can tell you for sure who is. Fred Thompson. Do conservatives suddenly hate him?

Reactions to Andy Griffith’s death on Michael Berry’s fb page:

Kevin Morton Sad that an American icon has passed but joyful that a drum-beater for ObamaCare is silenced…

Don C. Booker Love the characters, dislike the Man himself… he sold out to obama

Joe Kuhlman Don’t think he knew what he was doing.RIP. how’s that obamacare working out for ya? Just sayin..

Chris Brown becky… catch a clue! death is a part of life and not everyone that dies deserves respect. Respect is earned!

Jody Harvison Looks like Andy opted out of Obama care.

Pat Blaskovich One less Obama voter.

Bill Cathey That’s not all, he took the trust of his character and promoted reverse mortgages as well…the PayDay lenders for the seniors.

Buster Goode We Christians should just list the people and things we DON’T hate. It would take less time.

FOX viewers are just SELFISH!!!

If any TV program ever demonstrated positive family values, it was the Andy Griffith show. Maybe Fox now thinks such values are provided by programs such as the new one by Bristol Palin…

I simply think that Andy Griffith was a good person. A bit of a geek at times, but a genuine person with the charming innocence of a child.

Fox Nation in a nutshell: They want to scream racial slurs, threaten to kill people, actively plan scenarios if the person they’re threatening that day isn’t white, fantacize about rape and celebrate the deaths of people they don’t agree with…

Then complain that 99% of the people who read them think they’re a psychotic hate group.

This is so depressing. This is past bullying….it’s just sick.
