1. @FoxNews use today of a 6-year old quote by Obama - saying at the time that Islamic terrorism posed a greater threat to the United States than Russia - underscores what an obscene propaganda outfit Fox is. First of all...what does this have to do with anything? Is it arguing..

2...that Romney was right and that Russia DID pose the biggest threat because four years later it launched a cyberattack on American democracy? Ok...then why is Trump playing kissy-face with the biggest threat facing America. Or is it saying, because Obama said more than....

3...half a decade ago that Islamic terrorism posed a greater threat than Russia, that means we can ignore Russia's attack on the USA now, the fact that it HAS become the greatest threat? This "whataboutism" as an argument is utter stupidity, showing intellectual bankruptcy...

4..It also shows, beyond question, that @FoxNews is NOT a news organization. What is the point of marshaling out a 6 year old quote that has no relevance to modern circumstances EXCEPT to provide cover to Trump's appeasement to Russia and his virtual invitation for them to...

5...keep up the attack? I am sick and tired of republicans proclaiming they are patriots because they wave a piece of cloth and hate immigrants. How about defending this country from foreign enemies? How about, Fox, condemning a nation attacking our democracy more than you do....

6....other Americans? It is all a lie, all propaganda, all advancing argument, and pretending it is news. And it is doing so to drown ignorant conservatives in what smart conservatives publicly state is a feedback loop, a media bubble that keeps these people out of reality....

7...bottom line:

@FoxNews poses a clear and present danger to the United States. It is acting on behalf of a foreign enemy. These are not "patriots" - they are the modern day Tokyo Rose, except they have somehow gotten onto our shores. #FoxIsHomeForTraitors
