Are the Muppets Using Class Warfare to Brainwash Our Kids?
by Richard Sharp
Is Kermit the Frog secretly a Communist? Miss Piggy a pinko progressive? Is Fozzie Bear a feminazi sympathizer wearing fart shoes? And what about that Animal character? Is he secretly leading the mainiacal drumbeat for Occupy Wall Street? What happens when they take the chains off?
Fox "Follow the Money" host Eric Bolling recently interviewed conservative pundit Dan Gaynor from The Media Reseach Center, and, as Fox News is so often wont to do, he asked the hard questions: "Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to brainwash our kids?"
According to Fox, they very well may be. Just look at the way they made their bad guy an oilman named Tex Richman. Is there something wrong with Texas? With oil? Is there something wrong with being rich, man?
"Hollywood, the left, the media they hate the oil industy, they hate Corporate America and you see all these movies, whether it be 'Cars 2' or the George Clooney movie 'Syriana' or 'There Will Be Blood.' All these movies attacking the oil industry, none of them reminding people what oil is for most people, which is fuel to light a hospital or heat your home or maybe fuel an ambulance to get you to the hospital if you need that, and they don't want to tell that story," said Gaynor.
The host and his guest go on to link The Muppets to all sorts of entitled, whiny liberal thinking, and for poisoning generations of young minds with their nefarious "wakka wakka" ways and "Rainbow Connection" radicalism.
"It's amazing how far the left will go stoop to give your kids the anti-corporate message. I mean this is a Muppet movie for goodness sakes. The only thing green on that screen should be Kermit the Frog," said Gaynor.
What do you think? Are The Muppets really just crusaders for liberalism in lovable puppety disguise, or is Fox News trying to sully a proud American Made entertainment tradition, thus proving once and for all that they hate freedom, children and friendly frogs?
