Fox News Host on White House Fence Jumper: “BENGHAZI”

Stunningly stupid
Wingnuts • Views: 26,406

Media Matters

Good lord, the amount of idiocy in this clip from Fox News could power all the world’s idiots for years. Mind-bogglingly moronic. Astoundingly asinine. I don’t watch Fox News very much these days, I have to admit; is it always this stunningly stupid?

Lending her analysis to the case of the man who jumped the fence and ran into the White House this weekend, Fox dunderhead Harris Faulkner burbles, “I couldn’t help but let my mind just flow to something else”… and that “something else” is… yes, wait for it…

BENGHAZI

I had breakfast today. I thought about Benghazi too. For fuck sakes Fox, you act like Benghazi was the only time a US embassy or consulate was attacked which I assume is the whole point of continuing to harp on about it. It was a tragic event. Out of respect for the victims’ families please stop using it as a pathetic vehicle to attack POTUS because your viewers are people who would support Hitler over Obama.

They just aren’t happy if they can’t threaten us with death at the hands of people they hate, or appeal to us as our savior from people they hate.

Never mind that the people they hate are coming here and working their butts off and contributing to Social Security without being able to collect from it, let’s say they are stealing everything we hold dear, and exposing their kids to rape by allowing them to be trafficked here, and whatever else will convince us to hate the same people they hate.

36 Khal Wimpo  Sep 22, 2014 11:21:09am

The more that Fox & the Great Echo Chamber screech about Benghazi, the more it looks desperate to anyone outside their shrinking base. They’ve succumbed to groupthink, and the lesson they took from the last election is that you win by “defining” the opponent early on. As in, the Democrats were able to “define” Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch, callous plutocrat. Which is why he lost.

Nothing to do with the fact that Mitten *is* an out-of-touch, callous plutocrat. Reality, to them, is a fungible good. They believe that by banging the drum continuously on the nothing that is Benghazi, they will be able to “define” Hilary.

Unfortunately for them, that definition of the Clintons was kinda done before they could get there, back in the 90s.

Roger Ailes is sweating and screaming. He knows what’s coming after Hilary wins. The Clintons, they are vindictive.

Hmmm….

Years ago, in my retail days at Sears, our delivery service failed to deliver a treadmill to a customer twice, two consecutive days running.

So I drove over to the central delivery warehouse (not far from the store), loaded it up in the back of my Volvo station wagon and delivered - and set up - the treadmill myself. I even hung around a bit and explained to the customer how everything worked and little tips to maximize product life.

I got a “thank you” letter and a commendation from the store manager, who until the point, really didn’t like me much, but he did like me when I explained to him that customer service is vital to any business, and sometimes, when you want something done, you do it yourself.

The F35s are so expensive that they can’t risk them in combat. A single bird, or rock, or bullet into an engine and BAM! goes a quarter of a billion of taxpayer money.
