Former Conservative Political Prodigy Makes A Hard Left

Share |

Back in early 2011, 14-year old Jonathan Krohn was considered by Fox News to be a "political prodigy" and perhaps even the next Sean Hannity. On March 3, 2011 the 14-year old made an appearance on Fox & Friends where the Three Stooges (Steve Doocey, Gretchen Carlson, and Brian Kilmeade) referred to him as the future of the GOP and equated his level of intellagence with his conservative idiology.



Steve Doocy was the first to jump in and asked the 14-year olds to explain how the republican party can resurrect itself. Krohn offered a litney of parroted talking point regarding conservative principals. Towards the end of the video below, former beauty queen Gretchen Carlson comment that Krohn "has the whole political spin down." which stands out even more today since Mr. Krohn has taken a sudden left turn in his political thinking.



Now 17, Krohn — who went on to write a book, “Defining Conservatism,” that was blurbed by the likes of Newt Gingrich and Bill Bennett — still watches that speech from time to time, but it mostly makes him cringe because, well, he’s not a conservative anymore.

“I think it was naive,” Krohn now says of the speech. “It’s a 13-year-old kid saying stuff that he had heard for a long time.… I live in Georgia. We’re inundated with conservative talk in Georgia.… The speech was something that a 13-year-old does. You haven’t formed all your opinions. You’re really defeating yourself if you think you have all of your ideas in your head when you were 12 or 13. It’s impossible. You haven’t done enough.”


Needless to say, it is very doubtful that he will be invited back to Fox & Friends for a followup interview.

Fox News CEO A Criminal? You Decide

The chairman of Fox News may have committed a federal crime, according to legal documents filed by attorneys for a former News Corporation employee.

Affidavits filed in a lawsuit against a former News Corporation employee say that News Corp. executive Roger Ailes advised former publishing executive Judith Regan to lie to federal investigators about an affair she had with Bernard B. Kerik.

Kerik, a longtime ally of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was at the time being vetted as the next possible Homeland Security secretary.

Ailes's goal in asking Regan to lie about the affair was meant to help protect Giuliani's presidential ambitions, The New York Times noted in its coverage of the allegations.

Fox News Conspiracy Intended For Obama Hits Closer To Bush / Cheney

Share |

There are three catagories people will fall into when it comes to conspiracy theories. The first is denial, the second is emphatic or even violent opposition, and the third is acceptance. Fox News has just floated the possibility of a conspiracy surrounding the oil spill and that it was deliberate. At least that's who the dialog began. SEE VIDEO BELOW:

Fox and Friends guest Dana Parino was the first to suggest that the oil spill was deliberate and Doocy quickly ramped up the rhetoric by introducing the word sabotage into the conversation. They made comparisons between Katrina and the oil spill and that "they" may have intentionally delayed a responce to the crisis and allow the oil to leak intentionally. If you listen closely to the video clip below, there is no other conclusion that can be drawn that the word "they" isn't in reference to BP, but rather the Obama Administration.

They said that "They waited 9 days to respond" and it's clear that they are not talking about BP because BP responded immediately to the explosion, the fire, and the employes that were still missing and unaccounted for. They did all of this without ever offering any motive whatsoever as to how the Obama Administration would benefit from deliberatly allowing the oil to spill unabated. Nevertheless, the conspiracy theory has been created and not just floated, but broadcast on live television.

Now some folks will fall into the first stage and deny that such a thing could possibly be true. The second stage of people will be opposed to such a theory and do everything they can to discredit the messenger. Then there will be the folk in that thrid stage that will accept it without question.

But here is some food for though when it comes to conspiracy theories. Right from the start a theory is nothing but a hypothetical supposition. Look at it this way. In theory, you can't win the lottery if you don't by a ticket. However, with the purchace of just one lottery ticket, your chances of winning are no longer a theory, but a possibility. With each ticket purchased the possibility of winning moves away from being just a possibility and closer to a probibility. Fox News has done a good job floating the concept of a conspiracy theory, but without any facts or evidence, it's just a theory. But if you can identify a potential suspect or suspects that took part in the conspiracy and outline how they will benefit from the outcome of the event, your supposition is no longer just a theory, but a possibility.

So how would the Obama Administration benefit from allowing this oil spill to increace in size or even take palce to begin with. The same could be said about British Petrolium. How would they benefit from deliberately creating the oil spill and allowing to grow larger? - I have yet to come up with a plausable motive that even exist withing the realm of possibility.

Everytime I ask start to make a list of people who could possibly benefit from this oil spill making it into the history books, George Bush and Dick Cheney are at the top of the list. Infact, they're not only at the top of the list, but rather the only names on the list. Go ahead and try to make a list of names of people who would benefit the most from this oil spill becoming a disaster that would make Hurricane Katrina look like nothing more then a bad hair day.

Now combine that fact with the fact that Dick Cheney is the former CEO of Halliburton, which is one of the companies that was contracted on that rig. Combine that with the fact that the explosion and fire errupted within hours of Halliburton performing their contracted task on that very rig. Combine that with the fact that one of the participants in the creation of the conspiracy theory that unfolded live on fox news is the former Press Secretary in the Bush / Cheney administration. Combine that with the fact that Bush and Cheny unquestionably benefit more and more as the oil spill gets bigger and bigger.

That's my theory, anyone got a better one?
