Fox’ Bob Beckel Smacks Eric Bolling: All You Did Was Run About The Tea Party
October 21, 2011 No CommentEric Bolling has been trying to fill Glenn Beck’s shows ever since the announcement that the rodeo clown was being booted off of his Fox show. For as much as the Fox Business reporter tries to be the New Wingnut King, he’ll never come close to the Vicks Vapor Rub phony. Bob Beckel, one of the hand full of “liberals” on Fox, smacked him down by simply telling the truth. “On your show, all you did was run about the tea party” Fox News created the tea party phenomena, but now they’ve served their purpose and Roger Ailes has been basically shedding them since the midterms. They aren’t finished as a group yet, far from it. But the presidential election is in high gear, so they needed to be put in the basement as much as possible since their extremism won’t sell in a general election and Ailes is wise enough to understand that. He’ll bring them out again if Romney, Cain or Perry start to slide in the polling, because he’ll go to any lengths to win. A real populist movement terrifies the likes of Roger Ailes and Eric Bolling. Doug Schoen played his role for a nice paycheck and should be ashamed of himself. Congratulations.

It’s good everywhere you go, right? You can use it to pay for anything. But that’s not the case here in Louisiana now. It’s a law that was passed during this year’s busy legislative session. House bill 195 basically says those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions, and it flew so far under the radar most businesses don’t even know about it. “We’re gonna lose a lot of business,” says Danny Guidry, who owns the Pioneer Trading Post in Lafayette. He deals in buying and selling unique second hand items. “We don’t want this cash transaction to be taken away from us. It’s an everyday transaction,” Guidry explains. Guidry says, “I think everyone in this business once they find out about it. They’re will definitely be a lot of uproar.” The law states those who buy or sell second hand goods are prohibited from using cash. State representative Rickey Hardy co-authored the bill. Hardy says, “they give a check or a cashiers money order, or electronic one of those three mechanisms is used.” Hardy says the bill is targeted at criminals who steal anything from copper to televisions, and sell them for a quick buck. Having a paper trail will make it easier for law enforcement. I don’t think this would hold up in court. Cash is legal tender of the United States government. How can a state legislature ban its usage? And frankly, I think the whole “helping the police” is a crock of bull. As banks start charging more and more fees for us to have the privilege of letting us access our money, I suspect that Rickey Hardy is doing a solid for his lobbyist buddies in the banking industry. h/t Balloon Juice
