Adding to this affront to Southern pride, she also “told Americans to stay away from all-you-can-eat buffets”….
-———————

I’m with Barbara S. on this as Starnes knows the importance of healthier eating due to his own obesity problem. And I don’t understand why Starnes has an issue with Michelle Obama making the comment about “buffets” because Starnes himself has said the same thing.

“Todd also says to stay away from all-you-can-eat buffets.”

“Another was I stopped going to all you can eat buffets…” (page 15)

What these statements show is that Starnes is a straight-up hypocrite. FOX “news”, Starnes and its other talking heads know damn well that there is an obesity problem in the US and, sadly, it’s reaching alarming proportions among the country’s youth which only bodes for misery, early death and huge medical costs for our nation. Yet the First Lady’s attempts to get kids eating healthier and to get moving is being met with scorn and derision in a large part from those given a platform via FOX “news”. I can’t help but wonder if it was Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan who were actively pushing for healthier school meals, etc., FOX “news” and especially Starnes (considering his fat, junk food past) would be providing support as opposed to airing segments that are specifically designed to make First Lady Obama an objective of attacks. It looks like Toddles is so intent on sticking it to Michelle Obama that he’s willing to overlook the fact that he too has said buffets are bad choices.

Btw, I lived more than a decade in NC so I totally understand the whole sweet tea thing. However, a co-worker of mine in NC realized that she needed to lose weight and her first move was to give up sweet tea (which she drank with every meal and through-out the day and evening). Just by giving up sweet tea alone, she lost 25 lbs. in less than 4 months. Sorry, Starnes, but it’s sweet tea that has declared war on the waistlines of the Southern folk. Drink it in moderation and/or, if you just can’t drink unsweetened tea, there’s other choices to make it taste sweeter.

Joseph West,

I have no doubt that if Hillary is our next president, Fox will find plenty of code words to bash her with. Bill, too. She’ll be too partial to women, too sensitive, whatever. And Bill will be portrayed as some kind of sex maniac.

Todd himself lost 150 pounds a while back because some cardiologist told him he would die if he didn’t. He wrote a book about it- lost it through HEALTHY EATING. Now he has the nerve to mock healthy eating. And some say he’s a bachelor in the Liberace/Rock Hudson sense of the word, and he has the nerve to mock gay people. What a jerk he is.

Some say that Turdles Starnes has not been this agitated since his pet gerbil refused to leave his anal cavity.

Actually, with my last comment I shouldn’t have singled out Hillary. FoxNoise will bash ANY Democratic President. They just won’t need to use any “code words” for their racist attacks. We just tend to forget how FoxNoise went after Bill Clinton during his Presidency because (1) the network was still in its growing phase and hadn’t become quite so blatantly hate-filled and (2) the internet wasn’t as pervasive and you didn’t have so many websites dedicated to politics (on any part of the political spectrum).

The right-wing noise machine still relied largely on printed newspapers and magazines for their bilious attacks. (The only regular television in the era that was willing to routinely bash Bill was the religious cable networks and series, like the 700 Club and CBN and EWTV but even their attacks tended towards Bill’s “moral” issues—like the alleged adultery matters rather than the political/economic matters like Whitewater.)

Oh, Ray. We don’t have to worry about that. They’ll have at least 8 more years to bash Hillary.

I can’t help but be amazed at the irony from 2008. Back then, the biggest argument against Hillary (especially from Obama supporters) was that a President Hillary Clinton would face non-stop attacks from the right-wing and so the Democrats really needed Obama to avoid the “divisive” nature of a Clinton Presidency (even though the other argument of the day basically went, “After 8 years of Dubya, any Democrat can win the White House”—but I digress….).

If only I could get a time machine and go back to 2008 and show potential Democratic voters what “President Obama” would face from the right-wing……….Not saying it would really change anything but it might show potential Democratic voters why their votes mattered. Not only in 2008 and 2012 but also in 2010 and 2014. (Then again, it could’ve so thoroughly depressed them, anti-depressant prescriptions would soar.)

But Priscilla………apples are part of “apple pie.” You know that thing that finishes out the phrase, “as American as . . . .”

Are you suggesting that Todd doesn’t like apple pie and is therefore unAmerican?

I have to wonder what FOXYACKS will talk about once the Obama’s leave the White House? They spend 24/7 hacking them up on every stupid show all day long! They are like the stars of their broadcasts and when they are gone they will not have them to “as Dick Nixon would say KICK THEM AROUND ANYMORE”! Fox news is a 24/7 DOWNER FOR PEOPLE WHO MUST ENJOY FEELING DEPRESSED ALL DAY LONG!

Non-stop, 24/7 outrage over at Fox.

Have they ever contributed anything positive to this country? I doubt it.

Fox’s culture warrior Todd Starnes loves anything that is greasy, fatty, and sugar laden.

I heartily encourage Starnes and his fellow rightwingnuts to continue eating as much of those as possible, while not participating in any exercise.

With any luck, there’ll be fewer of them in the next election cycle . . .
