Roll The Video Please: FOX News Occasional Guest Wayne Simmons ex-CIA Super Duper Hyper-Patriot



...how did Fox get rooked by this guy and why did they find him credible? Simmons appeared on Fox dozens of times since 2004 as an expert. Besides his phony credentials, Simmons was obviously challenged by reality. In addition to endorsing torture (a plus for Fox News), Simmons wanted "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh executed by firing squad even after the Bush administration dropped terrorism charges against him, claimed there are "at least 19 paramlitary Muslim training facilities in the US... using paramilitary exercises to plan and execute" Charlie Hebdo-type attacks all over the country, and claimed, in 2005, "if the Democrats come into power ...we'll have 911s unabated."

The answer is clear to me: Fox liked what Simmons was saying and thus never cared to look too hard at his credentials or credibility.Maybe Fox has a better explanation but I doubt it.​

Keith Olbermann gives the award to Wayne Simmons.

"But the winner: former CIA agent Wayne Simmons on Fox News, saying the football stadium bomb hoax was, quote, "the perfect example of how vital the president's domestic eavesdropping program and the passage of the Military Commissions Act are." Of course they're vital, Wayne. They enable the government to spread false rumors about plots that aren't by non-terrorists that anybody over the age of 7 1/2 should have been able to see were crap, so they can try to scare people into voting Republican.

But thanks for admitting that, Wayne. Former CIA agent Wayne Simmons: today's "Worst Person in the World."

You almost gotta laugh. Anybody who loves his Country is labeled a "hyper patriot" by the anti-American left.

"Loves his country" (v.)

Definition:
1. claims to have worked for the CIA from 1973 to 2000, and "used that false claim in an attempt to obtain government security clearances and work as a defense contractor, including at one point successfully getting deployed overseas as an intelligence advisor to senior military personnel," according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

In court documents, federal prosecutors alleged that Simmons had a "significant criminal history, including convictions for a crime of violence and firearms offenses, and is believed to have had an ongoing association with firearms notwithstanding those felony convictions." They successfully petitioned a judge to keep Simmons' indictment sealed until his arrest today, noting that Simmons "has a history of acting in an aggressive manner, and is likely aware of the imminent nature of the charges in this case."

:salute: Murka!
 
It doesn't matter that the man was a fraud. All that matters is he told the viewers what they wanted to hear.

I'm sure Fox Noise will be setting aside all the extra advertising money they milked under his false pretenses and donating it to charity though.

:D
