Fox Goes Crazy Over MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry

If you've watched Fox News at all lately, chances are you've seen them attacking MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry over a 30-second promo in which she talks about the importance of thinking that "kids belong to whole communities." Clearly, she was more or less espousing the old "It takes a village to raise a child" maxim. But Fox (apparently taking its cue from Rush Limbaugh) has seized on the ad as an excuse to foam at the mouth that Harris-Perry is advocating for some kind of collectivist takeover of parenting. And the result? They've aired the ad a zillion times more than MSNBC has.

In this segment below, MSNBC's Chris Hayes does an excellent job of deconstructing the madness. The mashup of Fox News' distortions are nothing short of frightening.

@visitor 55. Some say that OxyRush Limpballs really, really likes kids. Especially young Dominican boys who are double-jointed.

ever see a little fat out of shape fox news viewers kid being raised by bad parents who do nothing but sit and watch fox news all day? eating fast food in front of the tv, their only exercise is getting more high calorie, low nutritious food stock piled in their filthy unkempt kitchens. maybe they need to be reminded, ms harris-perry’s stool has more intelligence than then entire fox news audience.

The Elite Washington GOP Power Machine is trying to reach to minorities-insert Rand Paul-and these Nixon trainee Fox “News” hacks continue to attack minorities.

We know what is coming down the pipe. The EWGOPPM is going after certain conservative talkers. Soon, you will see some revealing secrets of these right wing mouthpieces.

Get that popcorn.

An african-american (strike one) woman on MSNBC (strike two) talks up community support for all children. A variation on Hillary Clinton’s (strike three) It takes a village theme.

Three strikes and then the Fux Noise hate machine cranks up in high gear.

It takes a village-was what I got out of the ad. FoxNews(?) on the other hand heard a Socialist, Communist, child abductor, who wants to steal your children and re-distribute them to others who don’t have children. (probably to petiphyls, gays, Liberals, union members, teachers, and college professors!)
Run for your lives low information voters(Fox viewers), MHP is after your kids.
So remember FoxNews(?) advice the next time you see some strange vehicle trolling the Elementary School looking to lure some kid into there vehicle never to be seen again….
WHY SHOULD I CARE? THERE NOT MY KIDS.

Why would Limpballs be upset? He doesn’t have any kids.
(Well, except for the ones he visits in the Dominican Republic; maybe that’s what he’s upset about . . .)

Perry herself said it best on both Twitter and Facebook: No such thing as bad press, and Fox News has given me an entire campaign.

They’re also making Melissa Harris-Perry a star.
