‘Follow the Money’ personality dubs them closet communists...

from the article...
Although it hasn’t always been easy, Kermit has always prided himself on being green. But according to the host of Fox’s Follow the Money, he and his puppet pals are starting to turn red, and in turn, influencing their impressionable young fans.

On a recent episode of the business news program, Eric Bolling deemed the Muppets closet communists and their new Disney-produced big-screen adventure The Muppets full of anti-oil sentiments.

According to Bolling, and guest Dan Gainor of Media Research Center, the film’s plot is a liberal agenda in disguise, citing the villain – cheekily named evil oil baron Tex Richman – as a prime example.

“Liberal Hollywood depicting a successful businessman as evil? That's not new," Bolling said on the show, comparing Hollywood and its jabs at everyone other than the “Obama administration” to “Communist China.”

In the film, Kermie and co. come head to head with Richman, who threatens to tear down Muppet Studios to drill oil. The famous frog has no environmental cause for fighting the businessman, he just wants their old swamping, er, stomping grounds back.

"This is a Muppet movie. The only thing green that should be up there on that screen is Kermit the Frog. It’s amazing how far the left will go just to manipulate your kids … give them the anti-corporate message,” Gainor explained to Bolling.

“All of these movies attacking the oil industry, none of them reminding people what oil means for most people: fuel to light a hospital, heat your home, fuel an ambulance to get you to the hospital. They don’t want to tell that story.”

According to the conservative media expert, messages like the one he and Bolling think Jim Henson’s furry friends are sending are the reason for modern political protests including Occupy Wall Street and the green movement.

“You wonder why we’ve got a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people walking around all around the country,” Gainor says. “They’ve been indoctrinated, literally, for years by this kind of stuff.”

“Whether it was Captain Planet or Nickelodeon’s Big Green Help or The Day After Tomorrow [or] the Al Gore-influenced movie … what they’re teaching is that corporations [are] bad, the oil industry is bad.”

Successful business man..ha... but what did he have to do to become successful?... step on a toe here amd there... but Occupy Wall Street... are you really shocked? It took long enough!!! It's amazing how average American's would defend the same system that would let them die because they do not have the money!!
