Fox Implies That Rep. Eric Massa’s Constituents Should Kill Him

Over the weekend, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY), a strong proponent of the public option, appeared in Pittsburgh at Netroots Nation 2009 and said, among other things, “I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think that I’m doing is going to be helpful.”

Well, Fox is outraged.  The stated reason is that Massa would even think about ignoring the wishes of his constituents.  (I.e., Fox is “lookin’ out for the folks.”)  The real reason, of course, is that (1) Massa is a Democrat and (2) Massa supports the public option.   So, why not seize the opportunity and use it to further inflame Fox’s base?  You know, the folks who are bring guns to town hall meetings and who are shooting up churches and  killing police officers?

And that’s just what they’re doing.  Today on Your World w/Neil Cavuto, immediately prior to introducing his guest, Stephen Moore to talk about Massa, Cavuto played a clip from a movie depicting Marie Antoinette — who ignored her constituents  — bound and lying on a plank, being slid under the blade of a guillotine while an awestruck crowd watched.

(I was channel surfing when I came across this and I didn’t have my DVR on.  Wish I’d gotten video but, unfortunately, I didn’t.)
