Ted Olson Eviscerates Fox “News” on Equal Protection and Civil Rights
- Seriously, what part of conservative values and the U.S. Constitution do Fox “News” ‘conservatives not get? -
By Brad Friedman at The Brad Blog
As we’ve been pointing out for years, and as we re-iterated yet again on Wednesday when CA’s Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage was found to be unconstitutional by a Reagan/Bush I-appointed federal judge, the ruling was “Great news for real conservatives who believe in the U.S. Constitution and its guarantee of equal protection under the law!”
Poor Fox “News” viewers, however, have been so obscenely and opportunistically disinformed for so many years about what “conservatism” actually means (basically, they’ve been told by the Fox/GOP opportunists that Republicanism is the same thing as conservatism, when it’s usually anything but, and foolish folks on the non-Right have continued that fiction by describing them as “conservatives”), that they’ve had a next-to-impossible time wrapping their grotesquely disinformed brains around what last Wednesday’s extremely conservative ruling actually means.
The scam that has been played on wingnuts — inaccurately and opportunistically conflating Republicanism with Conservatism — has rarely been more clear than it was on Fox News Sunday today, when anchor Chris Wallace’s “conservative” disinformation train ran smack-dab into the brick wall of conservative facts and reality offered by Theodore Olson, George W. Bush’s former Solicitor General (he of the infamous Bush v. Gore), who happens to be the plaintiff’s victorious lead attorney in the Prop 8 case.
So, we’ll ask again: What part of “conservative values” and the “U.S. Constitution” do Fox “News” “conservatives” not get? As we’ve got many such disinformed phony “conservatives” trolling us here at The BRAD BLOG [and Veterans Today], we’ll look eagerly forward, as always, to their amusing, self-defeating, non-conservative, anti-Constitutional comments in reply to this video.

Let the douchebaggery commence!
The conservative values as promoted by the neocon right has little to do with real conservative values like having happy families living a good moral lives. It is about corporations, it is about profits, it is about a world dominated by an elite, all wrapped up in the King James version of the bible. That is unless you are a Jew.
This is great, wallace has no clue. Ted Olson is so calm, cool, collected, and fact filled. Wallace probably didn’t even understand Mr. Olson’s “apology” for the interruption.
