Jeff Koopersmith on the doughy doyenne of Fox News Channel's prime time lineup.

So what's the latest over at Fox News' Propaganda headquarters on 6th Avenue in New York City?

Mr. Ailes, the pied piper of neo-fascism has been in a grand stench since Barack Obama won the presidency for the second time despite Ailes' legal or illegal (who can tell) meddling with the election outcome in November of 2012. Ailes tried desperately and with vicious aplomb to defeat what he believes is the socialist Obama - a theme he rang out and re-echoed via his talking heads from day one of the Obama presidency through this minute, and the next.

For nearly four years, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week Ailes has been trying to either have the president impeached by Congress or to disfigure his reputation through whatever means is at his disposal including the airing of non-stop insults on Fox Television aimed at Barack Obama, blaming him for the mess left over from the Bush Administration - and preposterously attacking the president for reminding us that he didn't run up nearly a $12 trillion dollar deficit. "How dare Obama bring up something that started 8, then 9, then 10 years ago?

Of course, if the truth is told, Obama was not insincere in any way re the cost of Dick Cheney’s little wars - which has resulted in almost global destabilization and is simply breathtaking. President GW Bush had little or nothing to atone for as his doing because in fact it was Cheney and that pseudo brain Carl Rove who ran things at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Two less-deserving men, who had succeeded in twisting the meaning or being an American and put the earth itself in mortal danger can never be found save in early 20th Century history. George W. Bush cannot say this of course, because then he would be attacked for letting the two swine hornswoggle him.

What Aisles counted on is the fact that Barack Obama is a Black American. Ailes knew the redneck walk, and he abused the slightly veiled talk. He knew that Barack Obama was going to have to be careful - in Ailes' twisted mind - like field hand finally getting a job in the main pre-civil war mansion. Ailes could not attack Mr. Obama for simply being Black directly, so instead he and his posse assembled from a motley crew of out and out overpaid talking-head prevaricators dug up from the trashiest pile of so-called journalists he could find – or Aiiles personally sculpted a few to become his most lurid operatives. Ailes had a to keep a straight face as be launched his first salvo sometime in 2007 - stolen from the dumbest American assemblage I’ve seen - the Tea Party led by the former and highly disgraced Dick Armey - his “Birther Theory”.

The Birther concept was born out of frustration and stupidity. Led by the Tea Party and others of that ilk.  Ultra-right news sources began questioning Mr. Obama's "right" to run for president.” It is banned by the Constitution,” they chirped – “because Obama was not born in the United States as he claimed!” The frightening aspect of this Tea Party-Fox News partnership was that highly respected, at least in some circles, elected officials and others began to mimic the charge and challenge candidate Obama to produce his birth certificate. This continued even after he was elected and ensconced in the White House in 2009. Such men as Senator John McCain, Congressman, and personalities who, in fact made, videotapes questioning the President’s American "authenticity.”

Today this continues in a much muted fashion and mostly among the lunatic outliers living and voting in these United States.
