Who Said It: Fox News or Jesus?

[Tom Joad]

Actual verbatim quotes from Fox News regarding poor people.

Nice people aren't they?

Here are some examples that Stewart and others have lifted up of language Fox News has aired to describe "the poor:"

"America's poor are actually living the good life."

"A nation of Takers."

"Entitlement Mentality."

"The moocher class."

"Subsided freeloaders."

"People who sleep 'til noon."

"The handout nation rolls on."

"The image we have of poor people as starving and living in squalor really is not accurate. Many of them have things, what they lack is the richness of spirit." (That was Stuart Varney.)

"These programs do make people lazy."

"The true causes of poverty... are these: poor education, addiction, irresponsible behavior, and laziness"

"Addictive behavior, laziness and apathy all override social justice programs."

"They get food stamps, it makes it easy for them to sponge off of their girlfriends and spouses."

"The more of the leeches that he [Obama] can get to vote for him ..." "the 'Takers' are able to out-vote the 'Makers.'"
