"America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on U.S. soil during that period..."
Of course, "that period" included September 11, 2001. Perhaps Bolling was in a coma all day during that multi-pronged terrorist attack. Maybe he was hunkered down in a crack house somewhere. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. But while to my knowledge, Bolling has never been in a coma; where else he's been is anyone's guess.
Nevertheless, in keeping with the Fox News approach to fairness and balance, Bolling and three of those four conservative cohorts debate issues with former Democratic strategist Bob Beckel. Four against one for sure; but considering from whom Beckel's challenge comes, it's still an even match.
Fox Nation - For the unprepared, a trip through the comments boards of Fox Nation, a major part of Fox News' online presence, and "moderated" by ace media quack, Jesse Watters, would have you convinced that you somehow stumbled into the Darknet. It's the "Klandestine Keyboard Kommandoes" (KKK) all the way. Trust me when I say that the views expressed over there reveal a picture of what collective thought being forcibly expressed by a herd of ignorant savages looks like. In other words, it's scary enough to bring any budding Stormfront skinhead both unbridled joy and guarded apprehension. Perhaps the best illustration of how the Fox "nationalists" of Fox Nation help shape the negative imagery associated with their darling network comes -- perhaps not so ironically -- from an episode of The Simpsons, where a scene shows a helicopter in descent bearing the slogan: "FOX NEWS CHANNEL: NOT RACIST, BUT NUMBER ONE WITH RACISTS."
Nuff said.
Sean Hannity -- Did someone say racists? Awesome! Because it means I do not digress by asking if anyone knows how Sean's good friend, white supremacist/Holocaust denier Hal Turner feels about Sean's other "good-friend-who-happens-to-be-black" -- the "esteemed" Dr. Ben Carson -- and vice-versa.
Megyn Kelly -- Another distressing example of how too much time in a Fox News Channel environment can literally starch millions of unassuming brain cells. After her twin brain farts of the past year -- about Santa Claus and Jesus being "white" and pepper spray being "a food product" -- all that intellectual moxie Kelly used to exude is now less evident than a chicken-hawk at your local Marine recruitment center.
"Papa Bear" -- Lastly, there's America's perhaps foremost immutable human tragic-comedy and de-facto face of the Fox News Channel, Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly. For many Bostonians including myself, O'Reilly has been a familiar narcissist since the 80s when he co-anchored a weekend newscast at this city's WNEV-TV (now WHDH). Based on that familiarity, I'd wager the farm that the face of Fox is little more than a dangerously unstable faà §ade. But due to O'Reilly's now well-established image as a megalomaniacal, petulant, pompous, post-middle-age middle-schooler trapped in the 6'4 maze of a sixty-something-odd-years-old man, I'd also wager that no one would take that bet.
