Lost a bet with myself. When I saw this thread I thought to myself "I'm sure it was Fox & Friends." I guess there is a dumber Fox show around (Fox Business not on my cable).

I don't think I'd go as far as using the term "brainwash". But I would argue that Disney has injected political points in kid's movies before.

And I'd argue that when it comes to things like this, it's easy to find something if that's what you're looking for.

Anyone who takes what foxnews says as reality is delusional. They are gone so far from reality isn't not even funny to watch anymore.

It's clear Warner Brothers advocates homosexuality and cross dressing via Bugs Bunny.

Please back up your assertion with two or three examples of Sesame Street doing this.

Not sure if Obama is a 'muppet', but he's certainly a puppet. And I think him and his Democrat regime could be considered at about the same mentality level of Sesame Street.

Thanks. Your comments really elevate the level of discourse on this site :)

lol I'm still laughing my ass off at the notion of Fox Noise decrying brain-washing.

Maybe they are still smarting over that horrible, politically charged debacle when Obama the Kenyan Socialist had the audacity to brain wash our kids with a message on the importance of staying in school?


I see the victim mentality of the morally upright is starting right on cue for the holiday season, right on schedule. Move along, nothing to see here. *yawn*

Personally, I think it is simply a stereotype being used. In such a way, it is no different than having black muppets love fried chicken and greens, showing hyspanic muppets as hiding from ICE agents because they are all illegals, or having Jewish muppets being greedy.

They are all allowed, since no one has a problem with sterotypes being used.

#GOPMuppetHearings, the Twitterverse twits the Faux Business News twits:

“Mr. The Frog, have you ever been a communist?” #GOPMuppetHearings

“Let me phrase it in a way you can understand: Elmo love redistribute income?” #GOPMuppetHearings

“Well I believe that being green is a choice, Mr. The Frog.” #GOPMuppetHearings

“Mr. Frog, is it or is it not true that you and your cohorts once tried to ‘take’ Manhattan?” #GOPMuppetHearings

“Mr. The Grouch, the First Amendment protects speech, not your right to camp out in a tent, tarp, or garbage can” #GOPMuppetHearings

:p

I still the same political propaganda. They never talked about business unless there's a negative spin against Obama or democratic proposals in congress. Same with Kudlo.
