BREAKING NEWS
SATAN CALLS CABINET MEETING WITH LORDS OF HELL. FEARS OF COUP EVIDENT WITH PRESENCE OF KISSINGER. RECENT ARRIVAL OF CHENEY.
Many will forget that in the wake of Nixon's resignation, WH staffers Cheney and Roger Ailes decided that it was the fault of the "liberal Hollywood media" for relentlessly hammering the Republicans (for their crimes).
So they conceived a Conservative Propaganda Machine to get their message out. First they found Rush Limbaugh, and started to syndicate him across the country. Conservative talk radio was everywhere, but several limited by the Fairness Doctrine.
Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, and instantly radio stations across the country went to 24 hour conservative talk, with Limbaugh as the anchor.
In the early 90s, with Roger Ailes producing, they tried a 30 minute TV show, to run following the news, so conservative viewers didn't have to go from the news directly to a late night talk show bashing Republicans. It ran for about a year, but they quit because it too much for Rush to do a 3 hour live radio show, then a half hour live TV show, but it was proof of concept.
With that success, they launched Fox News in 1977, and that became the tentpole of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
If they had a time machine the whole time why bother with all this?
Fox News was October 96 not sure how they got 77
It's times like this, that I really wish I believed in Hell. If it exists, he's having a very bad time right now.
Hope all the people who died in the Iraq war do this to him in the afterlife.
One of the chief architects of our current fascist state, only fighting against it when it became clear he was not going to be in charge of it. A vile person who exploited American grief in order to profiteer on the deaths of millions. Fuck him and good riddance.
He didn't even "fight against it." His daughter, who is still a piece of shit, might have. Kind of.

Ah the good old times when we thought it couldn't get any eviler than Cheney...
We thought Haliburton was so evil. It was. And now everything else is evil too.
I haven't forgotten all the suffering this man caused. I hope he enjoys those flames in hell. I still can't believe he was an honored guest on the Dem national platform because Trump is evil. One less war criminal more to go.
I hope he enjoys those flames in hell
Wouldn't that be nice? If only...
May he burn in hell.
Satan when he gets there:
May all his organ donors finally rest in peace.
Rest in piss
You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . [Dick Cheney] is dead. Good.
- slightly paraphrased Bette Davis
This should be news in Iraq.
I hope the guy that threw his shoes at Bush has a very good day.
He actually only served 9 months in prison. Worth it.
Geez, he didn't even hit him! Cantcha take a joke?
Quail shaped humans can rest peacefully now
Lol at least my day is a little bit brighter
The neocons were some of the most dangerous because they were smart and quiet. Now our dangerous right wingers are zealous and stupid and loud. Which…I mean, neither are good. Fascists gonna fascist
If there is anyone who deserves to eternally burn in a perpetual form of suffering in an afterlife, its this piece of shit human being.
I always thought of him as the guy who destroyed Iraq so he could make money off of Halliburton rebuilding it.
Also, he shot his duck hunting buddy in the face.
Not a fascist though. He was certainly no friend to dictator Saddam.
How wonderful the times we live in are, that "at least he wasn't a fascist" is a meaningful qualifier.
Quail hunting I believe. Duck hunting is for the poors.
Now they hunt brown people.

This is a sad day. A war criminal died without ever having to pay for his crimes.
Rest in piss
'member the ole days when they were just evil.
When they committed their evil outside of the country on foreign soil where it didn't directly affect you
You are making an assumption on what is my country.
Ding Dong the Dick is dead, the wicked Dick. Which old Dick? The wicked Dick.
He's gone below where the goblins go.

This just doesn't have the same punch I was hoping it would when reading.
Needs a few dozen others in the obituary now.
He's not even top 10 any more.
