Fox News may have reached a new low last night with a hateful tweet about former president Jimmy Carter shortly after he revealed he has cancer.
Yesterday, former President Carter, who's 90 years old, revealed he has cancer and that it has spread. It’s quite a serious medical situation. But Carter’s a Democrat, so Fox News found it an opportune moment to malign his presidency.
Last night, Fox News tweeted:
Fortunately, there was a fierce backlash.
Then again, there was this, undoubtedly from a Fox News fan, who agreed - because of The Blacks!

Oh man, if BOR were’t on vacation this week, he’d be all fired up about this! He’d be “policing the ’net” and calling out those haters on the right. Oh, wait, no he wouldn’t. Bwaaah!
Shame on the official FOX News Twitter account – glad to see the backlash that took place.

From Antoinette’s comment:
“Ailes is weak. He has shown the world that he is afraid of Trumpster. Choosing Trumpster over Barbie Megyn.”
AMEN TO THAT! Dear Antoinette: when you take into account the COLOSSAL RATINGS SPIKE that Faux Spews got once “Five Deferment Donald” started bashing Megyn KKKelly, you will quickly come to realize like I did that it all comes down to these ancient words from the Bible:
“No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other or be attentive to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money”
Always remember: Jabba the Ailes has ONE AND ONLY ONE purpose in life: TO MAKE AS MUCH $$$$ AS POSSIBLE FOR HIS MASTER “Ruthless Rupy” (i.e. Rupert Murdoch, aka “Herr Goebbels II”).
’Nuff said.

If a Republican president had cancer (Ford) and anyone did this, Fox Noise would want him or her arrested.

Ironically, if it hadn’t been for Carter in the first place, the Republicons would never have captured all those evangelical Christian and Southern Baptist votes and wouldn’t have become so beholden to the Krazy Khristian Konclave as they have.
It was largely Falwell who led the conservative/evangelical movement into the Republicon Party because they felt that Carter had “abandoned” them. How dare Carter run as a devout Christian but do nothing to overturn abortion and denounce the burgeoning gay rights movement and not install a strict Christian morality on the entire country! Falwell saw Reagan as “his” kind of leader—the one who said all the right things—and held up Reagan as the man who would “save” the USA (of course, Falwell learned his lesson after Reagan repeatedly chose to put politics over religion when necessary, and made certain that his followers would take over the GOP to ensure that religion would trump* politics as often as possible).
*Honestly—there was no pun intended there. It just happened to be the word for the situation.

The Foxies should be concerned about this damaging article about them instead of smearing Jimmy Carter.
The Nixon Trainee Ailes has thrown Barbie Kelly under the bus to please Trumpster. She has been receiving death threats from Trumpster’s supporters. Isn’t that special!
The mention of Trumpster sends a tingle up Nixon Trainee Ailes’ leg.
We encourage all the masses to call every talk radio show and talk about the Trainee’s weaknesses.
Ailes Throws Up The White Flag
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/08/fox-news-picked-trump-over-megyn-kelly.html
This is the first time in his miserable life that Ailes met his match and lost. Trumpster has dictated to Ailes what he wants, and the Trainee obeys his command like a little puppy in training.
Ailes is weak. He has shown the world that he is afraid of Trumpster. Choosing Trumpster over Barbie Megyn.
NOTE TO AILES
You pathetic old man. Trumpster runs circles around you. Begging the man to come back to Fox. Hahahahaha! We don’t blame Kelly if she decides to leave this worthless “news” channel. That’s okay. Hannity wants his old time slot back anyway. He was not happy when he learned about his show’s time change.
There is so much drama at this network that would shame all daytime tv shows combined. Tell the masses of the turmoil the PR department is going through to undo the damage of Fox “News” reputation. Who is your real enemy, Ailes? Certainly not the left. You are nothing but a servant to Trumpster. He will decide what you do on this network.
The peons at this pathetic network are laughing at you, and talking about you like a dog at their lunch hour.
Weak and pathetic old man. If you can’t stand up to Trumpster, you should resign immediately. You are useless.

I expect nothing else from FOX. They are filled with hate, and lust for ratings. They know that shit like this will stir up the “base”, that bunch of racist red-necked mouth breathers that watch their spew.
FOX is a cancer that needs to be exorcised from America.
