Bernie Goldberg’s Slobbering Love Affair With The Rich Who Exploit The Poor

Bernard Goldberg, a right-wing analyst who makes frequent appearances on Fox News to spread his far-right messages, thinks the rich are not getting enough from the poor.

In Saddam Hussein-like fashion, Goldberg essentially suggests that the poor should build a monument to the rich as pointed out by News Hounds.

I suggest that we build a big bronze and granite monument, a statue to honor some truly American heroes, unsung American heroes… the rich… Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people pay the freight for a whole bunch of things that are good, like taking care of poor people who can’t afford to buy food and medicine and sending other kids to college… The top one percent of all wage earners pay almost 40 percent of all our federal income taxes. The top five percent pay 60 percent and the top 10 percent pay 70 percent. Now I’m not saying, Megyn, that these people are selfless philanthropists. I’m not even saying that they need a tax break. But I’ll tell you what they don’t need. They don’t need to be vilified by people like Bernie Sanders and a whole bunch of other liberal Democrats in Congress. …I’m not defending anybody who’s crooked or anybody who sent this economy into a tailspin… There are a lot of people out there who worked hard for their money… Maybe they’re not making a million or a billion dollars but something over $250,000. These people deserve our gratitude. I mean, how many poor – by the way, the bottom 50 percent of taxpayers… pay a paltry 2.7 percent of all the federal income tax. So how many of those people, how many of those people do you think are helping the poor in this country. It’s the rich who are disproportionately paying taxes and disproportionately helping the poor.

We could write a book about Bernie Goldberg and call it, A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Fox News and the Rich Elitists Who Want to Preserve a Slave-Like Society.

The rich are rich on the backs of hard-working and oftentimes underpaid folks (not too unlike what happened during times of slavery and not too unlike what happens with those who exploit so-called illegal immigrants.

Childish Bill O’Reilly Resorts To Making Fun Of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Accent

Conservative right-wing talk show host Bill O’Reilly, arguably the face of Fox News, went on the attack against Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democrat. Anders took a little shot at Fox News after he called out the network for what it is: a propaganda machine for right wingers.

Sanders made an appearance on MSNBCwith host Rachel Maddow and made the following comments (as documented by David Neiwert on the Web site Crooks and Liars): 

SANDERS: We need to do grass roots organizing. I’ll tell you what else we need to do. We need to understand that it is very, very hard for the president or anybody else to take on, not just the Republican Party – that’s the easy part – to take on all of right-wing talk radio which covers 90 percent of talk show hosts, a whole FOX Network which is nothing more than an arm of the Republican Party.

The thin-skinned and childish O’Reilly rushed to the defense of Fox News by declaring Sanders was wrong, he called Sanders a “pinhead” and made fun of the senator’s New England accent.

Most of us probably stopped doing that after the sixth grade.
