Think Progress » Angered By His Holocaust Museum Shooting Coverage, The Far Right Goes After Shepard Smith

wirehedd
On Wednesday, Fox News’ Shepard Smith responded to the tragic shooting at the Holocaust Museum by a white supremacist by saying that it was time to re-think the Homeland Security report on right-wing extremism that conservatives disparaged. “The right went absolutely bonkers!” said Smith, adding that the report was a “warning to us all” and that DHS was “warning us for a reason.”

    • So, Abraham99, you evidently approve of the haters that watch the FAUX "News" Channel. Right? And you see no reason for Bush or Cheney to have to testify under oath about the ramp up to the Iraq War, either. Right? You SAY you don't hate but yet you tacitly approve of the killing of 4,000 American servicemen and women and as many a half a million INNOCENT Iraqi citizens who were just minding their own business when Bush and Cheney chose to have the "Not-So-Smart" bombs destroy their country even when that country had nothing to do with 9/11?

    • Meanwhile, Obama is doing exactly what King Abdulah hoped, he has influenced Americans to go against Israel. Here is a poll done to show what Obama hoped for.
      Who says that everything that all the President's policies have been a failure? (Anyone with eyes to see.) The latest poll by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that American voters' support for Israel has dropped by 20 percentage points (from 69% down to 49%) over the past months since the Muslim moved into the White House.

      Clearly President Obama's strategy of fueling a dispute with Israel over settlements and the non-existent peace process, while at the same time placing no demands on the Palestinians at all for their complete hatred of peace, and he said not one word about the missiles and terror attacks and bombings that are going on even today, is having the result he desired. His Arab Muslim pals are all glowing with satisfaction that Mr. Obama has hurt Israel.

      His decision to downgrade the relationship with Israel so that he can forge an alliance with the Muslim world of his birth, has degraded American support for Israel.
      Only the middle and right of America see the truth through all the smiling speeches he gives every hour he can.

    • I totally disagree with the hate if that hate is used to harm and kill people. But, if it is used to get people to vote in a different direction at the next election, then it's fine. By voting for a different platform, I will be transforming anger or disappointment into a positive action and I will be carrying out my role as an American, not as a killer and a hater.
      However, guess what? I still want to know why we as American citizens of President Obama's country, cannot see Mr. Obama's birth certificate or his college papers. I am not a terrible person just because I wish to see those proofs. I believe I have a right to see them.

    • Abraham99:

      I totally agree, what's so hard about showing the document? I'll show mine! Why can't it be seen by the public. It's a matter of public record whwere he was born but that info has been locked up and inaccessable. Why?

    • There is a huge difference between the right leaning citizens and far right ones and the white supremists. The white supremists are haters. They are the American equivalent of the Muslim terrorists, yet even they willnot blow up trains and markets. They foolishly ignore the tens of thousands of American soldiers who were killed by Hitler. They are so busy hating, they praise Hitler because he was agianst Jews and Negroes. They forget that he killed the very borthers of the white racists.

    • Smith's comments were hashed and re-hashed by Lush Rimbaugh, Sean Insanity, Laura Inbred, Mark "squeaky" Levine, Michael "silly" Savage, Glen - really Harold Hall - Beck and a half dozen other Looney Tunes Radio Righty pot-stirrers.

      I'll field the next legitimate question from the lunatics on the right but these stupid questions have got to stop. They are a waste of time.

    • Ok, that's was what Smith said, where are the Fox people complaining about what he said? I don't watch regular TV so don't have that info.
      The guy that did the Holocaust shooting had a history of violence toward the USA government. Most people that are conservative would not react that way. They know we Americans will change the things we don't like in the coming elections.
      Behaving that way is irrational and solves nothing.

    • Cause only a fool lean up on, lean upon
      His own misunderstanding
      And what has been hidden from the wise and the prudent,
      Been revealed to the babe and the suckling
      In every thing, in every way I say

      Written By Bob Marley
      Lyrics:

      We'll be forever loving Jah
      We'll be forever loving Jah

      Some they say see them walking up the street
      They say we are going wrong to all the people we meet
      But we won't worry, we won't shed no tears
      We found a way to cast away the fears
      Forever Yeah!

      We'll be forever loving Jah
      We'll be forever
      We'll be forever loving Jah
      Forever yes and forever
      We'll be forever loving Jah, there'll be no end

      So old man river don't dry for me
      I have got a running stream of love you see
      So no matter what stages, oh stages, stages
      Stages they put us thru we'll never be blue
      No matter what rages, oh rages, changes.
      Rages they put us thru, we'll never be blue
      We'll be forever yeah!

      We'll be forever loving Jah
      We'll be forever
      We'll be forever loving Jah
      Forever and ever and forever
      Cause there is no end

      Cause only a fool lean up on, lean upon
      His own misunderstanding
      And what has been hidden from the wise and the prudent,
      Been revealed to the babe and the suckling
      In every thing, in every way I say

      We'll be forever loving Jah
      We'll be forever
      We'll be forever loving Jah

      Cause just like a tree planted planted by the river of water
      That bringeth forth bringeth forth, fruits in due season
      Every thing in life got its purpose
      Find its reason in every season, forever Yeah!

      We'll be forever loving Jah
      We'll be forever
      We'll be forever loving Jah
      On and on and on
      We'll be forever loving Jah
