Why did Fox News call for terrorist attacks against Iran?

Question

http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/016797.html

Here's a video from Fox News of them calling for acts of terrorism against Iran. Clearly, if we want to get serious in our "War against Terrorism," we need to arrest those who call for acts of terrorism, including these people at Fox News. If the US did as they ask that we do, then we'd be a state sponsor of terrorism and no better than we accuse the Iranians of being.

Answer 1

The Empire that spends more on Weapons than the rest of the world combined and has 737 Military bases around the globe and over 10,000 Nuclear Bombs and invades countries against International Law decides who is and who isn't a "terrorist."

"A terrorist is someone who has a bomb but doesn't have an air force."

Ofcourse if "terrorists" are serving the interests of United States they are called "Freedom Fighters": the Contras in Nicauragua and the MEK in Iran.

"Secretly, U.S. intelligence services are also sponsoring armed attacks within Iran. I discovered the U.S. and Israeli support for PJAK in Kurdistan and from so-called former MEK members. The U.S. asks a Mujahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MEK or MKO) member if they have left and if they support democracy. If they answer yes, they can be trained and armed for clandestine actions inside Iran."

Answer 2

I wonder why we should annihilate Iran.What did they do?We have been told that their leader is a monster, but how can we be sure.Does anyone of these folks speak the language I wonder?Anyway, Kilmeade's suggestion obviously did not play well with producers since the satellite feed was abruptly cut.And no wonder.If we resort to these tactics, we are no better than anyone.We should leave Iran alone because they will not be as passive as Iraq.

Answer 3

Is very dangerous talk, for one, your nation does not have the military resources, world backing or financial support for such a campaign. For another, it is totally uncalled for.

Attacking Iran is all about trying to knock it out as a player in Middle Eastern politics, and this will NOT happen, despite the dreams of the Zionists and the Christian right.

Iran must be brought into the circle of diplomacy, not attacked and excluded.

Answer 4

That was a remarkable video of a FOX News talk show.

If that was an unedited excerpt from FOX news it shows that someone in the control booth really wanted to put a stop to that line of questioning and the outside commentator's response to avoid exposure. The mid-sentence cut, the lady newscaster's ready excuse of a lost signal ("We have some weather in New York") the male newscaster's look of confusion and obvious consideration of the strange break-off of the satellite feed, and finally the abrupt cut away from his recovery and continued banter that the USA should sponsor terrorism in Iran (through car bombings and such) to a title page that presented dead air with canned Muzak, were ALL quite remarkable.

Someone really messed up big time at FOX: they gave away the game plan: covert ops sponsored by the USA in Iran. The usual policy is denial: "Plausible Denial" in spook speak.

It's very good to see them exposed at their game. Thanks for sharing the link.

Neocons do not understand the superior value of having the true moral high ground and exercising restraint, even in allowing your enemies to damage themselves by attacking you without retaliating against them. Instead they attempt to create artificial moral high ground through FOX-like propaganda, which the world just doesn't buy into. Gandhi took down a world empire because he realized this, canny politician that he was. While Brits were machine-gunning helpless Indians and brutalizing them in old world imperialism, thinking they could yet again repress them, they lost the battle of hearts and minds while the News Reels whirred.

It's essential to keep the new reels turning and showing the brutality of the current American administration. If they are allowed to torture and sponsor terrorism abroad while Americans are duped, our American way of life and our freedom is doomed to failure.

The enemy is within. It is anti-democratic and aligned with disinformation and brutal repression. FOX news is just one part of their orchestrated efforts to keep the vision of the American Empire alive. An empire of torture and hatred of differing faiths and cultures. An empire that gives its citizens an embarrassing share of world riches in exchange for their complicity in these brutal and immoral policies.

Answer 5

Well..when, a country in the World--does not matter where--will not go our way, or the way of a certain "only democracy in the middle east". Then we 'suggest strongly' to various 'freedom factions' that the 'liberty munitions' need to be 'spread in a caring reform minded manner', but only so that goodness and joy can come though 'happy blasts' and 'liberation detonations'.

That of course is in no way, shape, or form the same as when some crazy Arab, anti-Semite calls for a car bombing in New York, or Tel Aviv, in order to advance a evil hate filled Islamo-Fascist agenda. There is no moral equivalance to them--do you get that? ;)

Answer 6

Fox News is much like what the Ministry of Propaganda was under Joseph Goebbels...

and a print counterpart, the New York Post, baits people it doesn't like, much like how Der Stürmer had baited the Jews...

Answer 7

Because Fox is run by and employees only ignorant uneducated people who want to hasten the end of the world, so they can stand up and say "see, I told you so!"

These people idolize 6th and 8th grade drop outs like Ruuush Limbak and Paul Weyrich. What do you expect to come from policies formulated by such people.

Only the ignorant can destroy this world. Are you going to allow it?

Answer 8

Its sad when we accept stuff like this, calling for act of terrorism is not the right message and he should be fined for that or even jailed under the PATRIOT ACT laws.

Answer 9

Well we already know we have fake Al Qaeda (MI6 and Mossad agents) that stage bombs in Iraq and did 9/11 too.

Fox knows we know this so I guess they're just not going hide the fact that our guys and our allies stage terror for a political reason anymore. In fact I guess they are just going to start calling for bombs on tv just like Bin Laden.

Answer 10

An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind. This is terrible! WE MUST NOT LOSE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND IN IRAQ whether you agree with the war or not.
