If any president was involved in a “snub” regarding the ‘72 fins, it was ’ol Tricky Dick himself, for not extending the initial invitation. But I’m guessing neither NewsMinimum nor Fox will ever acknowledge that tidbit.

Of course, the lack of a WH invite from Nixon was understandable, considering 1) in January 1973 Nixon was still a little preoccupied with the little matter of Watergate, and 2) as I seem to recall, Nixon rooted for the Redskins that year, anyway . . .

As for some of the ‘72 Dolphins players not attending the event due to “political differences” with the President, my reaction is — meh. It isn’t the first time: former Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas was hailed as some sort of hero for skipping the event after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup, claiming his thinking was more in line with Glenn Beck than with President Obama (which says more about Thomas than it does the President), and Micheal Jordan also refused to go to the WH after one of the Bulls’ titles because he wasn’t fond of George H. W. Bush, but wasn’t similarly hailed as a hero (I wonder why) . . .

.

So BOR’s little toadie, Watters, lets poxnation put up a misleading headline? No surprise as it’s been clear for some time now that Watters as editor over there and FOX “news” (under whose banner poxnation exists) have decided that bogus headlines feed the anti-Obama/anti-Dem/anti-lib fervor they desire much better than actually putting up truthful headlines.

I had been wondering if F&F would bring one of the 3 snubbers on for an interview and, sure enough, they did not disappoint. Kilmeade talked with former Dolphin, Bob Kuechenberg, asking him why he had a problem with Obama’s years in office. Kilmeade gave him an easy set up but Bob couldn’t name one single policy that he disagreed with – instead he just vaguely said that he doesn’t like the failed results of Obama’s “foreign relations to failed policies to just about everything he’s attempted. I think that great damage has been done to our country and, unfortunately, I fear that by 2016 that the damage may be irreparable.”

When asked he says tha he’s not a Republican but an Independent – but when asked by Kilmeade if he would have gone if invited by Bush or Clinton, he said he would have gone if invited by any other President that he remembered. (Hmm, interesting, as I know a whole slew of Independents who took great issue with Bush’s failed policies and the damage that his Presidency did to our country). He again went on to cite his vague opposition to Obama’s policies and slipped in the word “deliberate” (which I hear a lot from the far right who claim that Obama is deliberating making bad choices to harm our country so that he can turn the USA into a Muslim, commie, Nazi, fascist enclave where Obama hating conservatives – aka the “real Americans” – have their rights taken away from them). He stumbled a bit when he said he “didn’t want to be up there with people who, uh, were not, you know…I didn’t want to, I didn’t belong there.” People who were not what, Bob?, hmm? LOL!

Clearly Kilmeade wasn’t satisfied with the vagueness of his remarks so he took another shot at it and finally asked if “there’s something different about this administration?” Now THAT question got the real mindset of Bob to emerge. He brought up professors Cloward and Piven and even got a Sal Alinsky mention in. Oh yeah, looks like this Presidential snubber has been drinking the Glenn Beck kool-aid. Bwaaah!

Visitor, I just have to wonder exactly what kind of men they are. After all, if the team had been recognized when they actually achieved the distinction, they would’ve been at the White House with Richard Nixon. (Now, granted, compared to the majority of today’s GOP, Nixon is a veritable saint, but that just shows how awful today’s GOP really is.)

Fox News priorities.
