The Brit Hume Beat-down Session
I hate that wrinkled, congested-looking pseudo-journalist. That casual, off-the-cuff kind of cruelty of his language that he utters so matter-of-factly, like a serial killer given a suit and told to say whatever he wants, but say it like he was a journalist reporting the news. I would bet money that before coming to FOX Brit was a) an enforcer for the mob b) a prison guard c) a bodyguard for a wealthy republican.
He’s a thug. He also lies like a republican. You can generally tell the real journalists from the cloned doppelganger aliens of the Mother Republican by the smell of death about them, and the occasional, ill-concealed bloodstain. Underneath the stolen skin of the journalist in question you will find the ravening, bloodthirsty abomination that was hatched in the Heritage Institute’s cloning rooms and raised to abhor the truth and obey the Republican National Committee and dismember any idea or person that stood in their way. These monsters generally resemble the aborted fetuses of normal people, creatures who, before they had a chance to develop normally, were fed a diet a lies and hatred, taught to fear authority, and rewarded for cruelty. They are grown, fed, and groomed in the Heritage/Cato/Hoover/Mellon-Scaife/FOX Corporate Consortium’s minor league attack journalist system, and when fully matured, released into the wild to hunt, kill, eat, and take the place of a real journalist. After which their brains are carefully vacuumed out of their skulls and a fibrous cable is attached to the base of their neck, through which the talking points of the Republican Motherbrain can be transmitted on a daily basis.
Brit’s latest travesty can be found here, where he asserts that something is only torture if it causes trauma equivalent to something “associated with the failure of your organs.” Ironically, Saddam Hussein is currently being accused of, among other things, supervising the abuse of a woman who was stripped and suspended naked while she was beaten, treatment that does not meet Hume’s definition of torture. Unfortunately, Hume can’t detect the irony because his skull is currently a gaping cavity filled with the echoing talking points of the Republican National Committee, most likely penned by Mehlman while he was recovering from an all-night bender in which he downed a pint of whiskey and spent most of him time servicing Bush and otherwise enjoying a little man-love.
Hume has a long, rich history of raping the truth and gloating about it afterwards. He even has his own little section in Media Matters here. He rode shotgun in the Bush Train of Denial out of New Orleans, claiming that Bush “pleaded” with Mayor Nagin to evacuate the city when Nagin didn’t want to. He’s hosted every parasite the right can come up with the argue their point for them, including Bill Sammon of the Washington Times, who argued that the London bombings should shut all those stupid critics up who were criticizing the abuse at Guantanamo Bay. Hume has defended Rove’s comments that:
MoveOn.org, Michael Moore and Howard Dean may not have agreed with this, but the American people did. Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9-11 and said: we will defeat our enemies. Liberals saw what happened to us and said: we must understand our enemies…Let me put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts to the region the words of Sen. Durbin, certainly putting America's men and women in uniform in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals.
Hume argued that Rove was referring to “liberals,” not the Democratic Party. Never mind the fact that Rove specifically referenced the chairman of the DNC and the democratic senator by name.
Hume launched a smear campaign in April of 2005 aimed at discrediting critics of Bolton, even stooping so low as to dredge up her account of abuse at the hands of her father as “evidence” that her account involving Bolton was untrustworthy (from Media Matters):
On April 25, Hume noted that Lynne Finney, former U.N. policy adviser for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), "remembers being verbally abused by U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton more than 20 years ago." Hume quickly added: "But it turns out this isn't the first time Lynne Finney remembers mistreatment from long ago." Hume then quoted statements from Finney's personal website about how she had recovered suppressed memories "of having been abused by her father."
Disgusting. So deeply, morally perverted that only an alien imitating a human could come up with it.
But there’s more! On April 12 Hume obediently echoed the Rush Limbaugh talking point of the day when he lied:
The CIA says that Massachusetts Democratic Senator John Kerry and Indiana Republican Senator Richard Lugar inadvertently identified a CIA officer working undercover, this during yesterday's Senate hearing on John Bolton's nomination to be U.N. ambassador.
Unfortunately, the CIA officer in question, Fulton Armstrong, had been identified as a CIA officer for years before that.
Hume is willing to go to bat for any Republofascist cause. He attacked Robert Watson, a UN scientist who reported on the dire consequences of global warming, using lies apparently derived from the report of industry-funded global warming skeptic Patrick Michaels. Hume touted and hosted advocates for Bush’s social security reform initiative with nary a whiff of analysis. Hume even went so far as to say that FDR advocated privatizing social security which, needless to say, is a lie. Hume defended Dennis Hastert with another lie, saying that “Hastert never said Soros was receiving funds from drug cartels,” when, in fact, Hastert said
I don't know where George Soros gets his money. I don't know where -- if it comes overseas or from drug groups or where it comes from. ... George Soros has been for legalizing drugs in this country. So, I mean, he's got a lot of ancillary interests out there.
Oh yes, Brit. Hastert just implied Soros was a drug kingpin. Which, by the way, is a craven lie that makes me ashamed to share the same state with that bloated worm.
Hume decided it was wise to throw in with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, echoing their claim that
There's not a single official record that backs up that claim [that Kerry was ever in Cambodia], a quite striking claim. So when you start from there, you're already dealing with something that, for all intents and purposes, has been shown to be false.
How does an undocumented claim automatically become false, Brit? Kerry’s claim is backed up by many sources here.
If I were Kerry, I would have demanded an apology. But Hume, perhaps, is beneath contempt. He is a hollow shell of a reporter, a contemptible, loathsome reprobate spawned in the bowels of the Republican Hate Machine.
