Read more: Fox Business blastsHere’s a Muppet news flash: Apparently Kermit and co. are being used as puppets by liberals to “brainwash” America’s children with a socialist message - at least according to Fox Business.
While movie critics have almost uniformly lavished the reboot of Jim Henson’s family-friendly Muppets with praise, the Dec. 2 broadcast of the network’s “Follow the Money” found fault with the perceived message behind the movie in a segment flagged by Media Matters.
The movie’s villain, the aptly named Tex Richman (played by Chris Cooper), is a mogul trying to raze the Muppets’ historic theater to drill for oil.
“The Muppets are back and being terrorized by an evil oil executive in their new movie,” said host Eric Bolling. “Liberal Hollywood depicting a successful businessman as ‘evil,’ that’s not new.”
“I’ll put it out there: Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to kind of brainwash our kids?” Bolling then asked guest commentators.
The Muppets and their cousins “Sesame Street” have long been targets for conservatives convinced liberal writers shoehorn their politics into shows and movies targeting kids.
“It’s amazing how far the left will go to manipulate your kids and give them the anti-corporate message,” said guest Dan Gainor, of Media Research Center, a conservative think-tank

it really unfair that muppets don't have to wear pants....


Since when is fighting to save something you believe in Anti-American?
I guess every plot of Scooby Doo was liberal propaganda, those meddling kids getting in the way of successful business men just trying to grow their money for the sale of the economy. Screw everything and everybody we must make money anyway we can, our economy is in dire straits and all these hippies care about is protecting the environment and standing in the way of greed, greed is what this nation is built on by god...

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
Come on, you've got to be shitting me!? The Muppets, this bunch is picking on the Muppets ? I guess when you bring nothing to the table, and you really have nothing positive to add to the betterment of our country, attack lifeless puppets.
As a matter of fact, if you watch their debates, those are a bunch of muppets.![]()

Anything to pit Americans against each other. Its the fucking Muppets for CHri*@ Sake! I think the bosses over at Faux News are sitting at their desks, finger tips together with fingers apart, head tilted slightly down with the words Eeeexcellent going through their minds.
Then follows the evil laugh
