Fox News, in its never ending search for more fuel to stoke its listener’s fires, has hired a crack team of psychologists, sociologists, media gurus and general psychopaths to help them find and exploit the ‘Rwanda Effect’.
The Rwanda Effect is the name of a phenomena related to the incendiary radio broadcasts that set off the massacre of members of the Tutsis tribe by the Hutu tribe in 1994 in the African nation of Rwanda. Two radio stations were notorious for barraging their listeners with anti-Tutsi rhetoric, inciting them to kill their fellow country men. This constant wave of anger triggered a mass frenzy in which the Hutus went on a killing spree lasting 100 days and massacring 800,000 Tutsis across Rwanda.
Fox, after careful analysis of the Rwanda incident and the influence radio had upon it, has put together their ‘A-Team’ to find the right mixture of unbending political doctrine, one sided viewpoints, biased opinions and emotional ploying needed to create a volatile recipe for social upheaval that would create a Rwanda Effect in the U.S. and bring their sponsors back to the power they so enjoyed in the Cheney years and keep them there. Having already created a base of intolerance and hatred for all things liberal and an automatic knee jerk reaction to anything that Obama proposes amongst their followers, the Fox boys want to find just that exact spice that would explode the mixture.
The power of a Rwanda Effect unleashed in the United States would send a tidal wave of violence across the land as maddened right wing power fanatics and other self appointed ‘true’ patriots could finally express their innermost feelings in a deluge of violence that would leave anyone who disagrees with them bleeding on the ground. The Kristallnacht of Germany and the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre of France would equal the ‘Fair And Balanced’ campaign of our land and time.
The regular Fox News pundits have already been hard at work on this project for some time, but it is seen that they need heavier hitters than they have already. Talk is going on of having James Earl Jones reprise his Darth Vader role in full costume as a commentator and of séance specialists channeling the spirits of Goebbels (Hitlers propaganda Minister), Chairman Mao, Boris Badenov and Karl Rove, even though he is not dead yet.
Wow, was this article was written almost one year to date before the Giffords shooting. Scary.
Lordy, dude, that was belated as hell!
Congratulations to FOX News for helping to provide the ammo that helped shoot Representative Giffords.
They should be happy with themselves- they finally have people so hopped up on their vitriol that they are willing to shoot their imagined enemies. A lot of hard work is finally paying off for the extra conservative folks.
RFreed, very clever indeed.
