Yes yes, you are correct. Everybody that doesn't see the world through the same colored glasses as you must be ignorant, or worse willfully ignorant; because how could anybody NOT see things the way you do.
You can't seriously be this arrogant. |

I can't help but be arrogant when I see the Fox News sheeple around.  |

Have Any Radio Talk Show Hosts or Fox News Heads Ever Criticized Capitalist Greed or Corporate Exploitation of Labor?
So far, only a bit about O'Reily. Anything else?

Your question was "have any?" That's been refuted, but to make you happy, here is a link to one by Dick Morris.

Probably not. They abide by their taboos. Yet, I'll bet that most of the listeners and Fox News worshipers actually believe that radio talk and Fox News are on the side of "the little guy". (Make me laugh!  )
I sure hope you defenders are able to recognize a token when you see one. |
Yes, but you might not recognize it. See conservatives believe in playing by the rules. If you become wealthy doing so, great! More power to you. What conservative do not tolerate is cheating and steeling. This also includes the government. While much has been made of the Republicans who have recently been caught cheating on their wives or involved in gay interactions, the hypocrisy that the left would love to brand us with simply isn't there. The reason it is not is because these office holders are doomed within the Republican party. Unlike the Democratic party that tolerates cheating in whatever form it takes, Republicans are consistent and absolute. We will not have it.
Greed is a fact of life and it fuels capitalism. This should in no way be confused with dishonesty. As long as we both play by the same rules, you are free to be as greedy as you like. If you want something, go get it. Just don't stray from the strait and narrow while doing it. Once you have achieved your material goal, who's to stop you from giving it all to charity? It's yours and you may do with it as you please. In fact, we established on past threads that it is conservatives from the South who give the greatest portion of their income to charity and east coast liberals who are the stingiest.
If you don't like the treatment you get at your job why not start a business of your own? If you really want it, you can start today with a lawn mower, edger, blower, weed whacker and trailer. Go file a DBA and put out your fliers. What's stopping you? My nephew is doing that because he can't find a job here in MI. See we lead the nation in unemployment (14.1%) due to the fact that unions and high business taxes have chased industry out of MI. It's fair here. We're all broke together. Feel better now?

My favorite part: "What conservative do not tolerate is cheating and steeling." Yeah, right! BTW, it's stealing, not steeling.
My second favorite part: "Greed is a fact of life and it fuels capitalism."
In that you are probably right, radio talk shows and Fox News believe in promoting greed, the holiest of all-American virtues.

The only right-winger that I see criticize capitalist greed on a regular basis is Lou Dobbs. While I strongly disagree with him on alot of issues, I give him credit for addressing issues like NAFTA, outsourcing, MFN status with China ect.. Of course Dobbs isn't on Fox News and he's liberal by their standards. I think that O'Reily does it sometimes when he can use it as an excuse to slam Democrats, but honestly, I stoped watching his show a long time ago. |

Free markets are destroyed by colluding business interests as soon as possible. The Rockefeller Standard Oil Monopoly is the ideal for business because it prevents a competition and insures monopoly profit. High level businessmen, frequently Republicans, collude because it make more money and is much more stable. Economists love markets, businessmen hate them.
