“And I think the effort to suggest that the poor are spongers, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And it’s still being propagated…If you watch Fox News on a regular basis…they will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them.” President Obama
And so the war begins with Joe Scarborough kicking it off by claiming Fox News would never do any such thing! The Republican media from top to bottom is literally up in arms screaming that the President is not only wrong, but to stupid to attack the media as lowers the prestige of the man and the office. Little mention that Republicans attack the lamestream media about every 3 seconds of every day since Richard Nixon took his dog and went home.

The central issue of American politics is I do not want my hard earned tax money going to those lazy thugs living downtown somewhere.
Here are just a few gems from just Bill O’Reilly alone on Fox News, who is their biggest celebrity host with the most viewers of any cable news network.
“You gotta look people in the eye and tell ‘em they’re irresponsible and lazy.”
“The true causes of poverty includes poor education, addiction, irresponsible behavior and laziness.”
“True poverty is being driven by personal behavior, addictive behavior, laziness, apathy.”
