It simply amazing to me that Bolling and his panel are seriously worked up and outraged that they believe the muppets are "attacking" capitalism and conservatives.

Its stories like this that make those who don't eat the FOX cheese shake their heads and make guys like Bolling a laughing stock.

Non story.

What's a non-story?

The muppets attacking capitalism or Bolling getting all worked up about this perceived outrage?

And you wonder why FOX news viewers are so clueless about the world around them...

Both. Its a random pundit crticizing the muppets (hollywood). I saw the movie, it was a pretty cliche plot.

90% percent of crime drama (movies and television) involves a poor street guy committing a crime and the investigation that goes into arresting and convicting him.

Yet when a children's film portrays an evil rich guy, some folks like Bolling get their panties in a twist.

Seems silly and hypocritical to me and marginalizes anything else that he might say in the future.

Fox sure seems to bother some people horribly. I suppose it's because Bush isn't handy anymore.

The Muppets are trying to brainwash our kids. Kermit + Miss Piggy = Interspecies relationship.

I'm sure FOX bothers some folks on the left just as MSNBC obviously bothers some on the right.

As for me personally, stories like this just make me laugh.

TV is a box in my home that I control.

Well you might not like comedy, but I like to laugh, myself.

Also, upgrade to a flat panel TV. You'll thank me when you do.

The nefarious Tex Richman wants to raze a muppet theater to drill for oil? So, rich people are bad, m'kay?...and drilling for oil is bad, m'kay?...and people from Texas are bad, m'kay?

That this tripe gets made into a movie is amazing.

The plot in muppets is rare (oil man tricks innocents into selling landmark, then sabotages efforts to save it). Poor people committing crime is common. But getting worked up about it is indeed silly. Hence, non story.

Yep. We get this news and now our military even condones boning animals (interspecies relationship) according to another thread.

Coincidence?

Or conspiracy?
