FOX's John Gibson: Iraqis Are "Knuckle-Dragging Savages"

In a logically questionable and morally reprehensible tirade about how Americans are not responsible for the sectarian warfare in Iraq, FOX personality John Gibson said on his radio show, "Who is doing this killing? Give me a break. These are Iraqis killing each other. So what did we do? If you're saying it's our fault that we unmasked them as knuckle-dragging savages from the 10th century -- fine! I'll take credit."

Worse than Imus?

You have to smirk at the "They ruined our war!" petulance of the whole thing. We deconstruct more of John Gibson's idiocy here.

This is the attitude of the bigoted right, and they can't figure out why the rest of the world despises them. Hey you knuckle-draggers from the tenth century, why don't you like us?

So if the Iraqis are incorrigible, why are Americans dying on their behalf? You can't have it both ways, John.

This is a great example of why people don't or shouldn't turn to FOX for their news.

Guy Incognito, I didn't put Fox and news together. That'd be an oxymoron, or possibly an oxymoran. If you haven't heard of morans, check this.

I agree. The ones that are doing the killing are savages. It is senseless killing. Hamas, on the other hand, are not. They are fighting against Zionism.
