Stop changing your avatar, I can't keep up!

Oh, uh, and I guess I'm not surprised that this guy doesn't mind being a bigot in public. People aren't even trying to hide the crazy anymore.

Countdown to Roger Ailes being photographed in a gay leather bar starts....now.

from the linked article:

Quote:

The location made Ailes queasy: It was close to the street, and he lived in fear that gay activists would try to attack him ... Ailes keeps a monitor on his desk that allows him to view any activity outside his closed door. Once, after observing a dark-skinned man in what Ailes perceived to be Muslim garb, he put Fox News on lockdown. "What the hell!" Ailes shouted. "This guy could be bombing me!" The suspected terrorist turned out to be a janitor.

So Roger Ailes has one of those 'over-active fear center of the brain' thingies that the University College London researchers found in that study of social conservatives.

Color me 'shocked'.

So this guy must have a portapotty in his office with a padlock, never eats any food he did not grow/kill and prepare, and wears a biosuit around.

Otherwise he has come into contact with "Those Gays" somewhere sometime.

Almost what I was thinking: I wonder if he is one of those 'wannabe-gay
self-haters that tries to hide their gayness by being openly hostile towards them' types ?

My bet is at an interstate rest area, late at night.

I think there may have been a misunderstanding. He said he is afraid of "those gays", which implies a subset and not all homosexuals. I'm guessing that "those gays" are the phantom ones in Iran that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad conveniently denies any knowledge or existence of.

Iran never had a nuclear weapons program. They were actually developing genetically altered Super Gays, bred to hate us for our freedoms. That is why he needs bomb proof glass. Those Super Gays are as tough as a T-800 terminator and they are gay.

My mind's eye and I are no longer speaking, thanks to you.

Wait, I just thought of Christina Hendricks in garters, relationship saved.

**Reality Control** · 05-30-2011, 11:29 PM

Anyway, I read the entire article earlier today. I don't think there's much NEW in there other than anecdotal stories about his reported paranoia. It's interesting that MSNBC was created from one of his baby's that NBC sacrificed and he got the best revenge he could muster, in the ratings.

Jopsy Pendragon · 05-30-2011, 11:31 PM

I don't use the term 'evil' often, but I will in this case. He is, by my definition of the word, "Evil". He deserves to live in perpetual fear of retaliation for his direct role in promoting and perpetuating bigotry, ignorance and hypocrisy.

**Soen Eber** · 05-31-2011, 12:10 AM

Why am I not surprised that he looks like Darth Vader with his mask off?

Inside his blast-resistant office at Fox News headquarters, Ailes keeps a monitor on his desk that allows him to view any activity outside his closed door. Once, after observing a dark-skinned man in what Ailes perceived to be Muslim garb, he put Fox News on lockdown. "What the hell!" Ailes shouted. "This guy could be bombing me!" The suspected terrorist turned out to be a janitor. "Roger tore up the whole floor," recalls a source close to Ailes. "He has a personal paranoia about people who are Muslim - which is consistent with the ideology of his network."

Maybe somebody should tell him about that Saudi prince who's owning 7% of Fox News.

Maybe he should be made to meet the German Foreign Minister and Vice-Chancellor for an interview then?

I wouldn't call him evil. Just deliberately ignorant because of his maniac paranoia.

In college, Ailes tried to join the Air Force ROTC but was rejected because of his health. So he became a drama geek, acting in a bevy of collegiate productions.

That clinches it!

hrm... not sure I'd use the word 'ignorant' with regards to people with that much power and influence. I'm certain he knows exactly what he's doing. He's pandering to ignorant hateful bigots for ratings.

And he knows that every group of people has a few lone crazies who if provoked enough will lash out. When you vilify an entire group (any group) you invite retaliation from unstable members of that group.

He's right to be nervous.

**Eunoli Rain** · 05-31-2011, 04:13 PM

I've decided to be afraid of any group that you can put a "those" in front of. In this manner, I can be on the vanguard of every Fox News trend of the next five years.

I've started reading the Rolling Stone article that the quotes are taken from.
It's very long, but you quickly get the idea that he's a crackpot of the same
sort as Joe McCarthy.
