Fox News Shocked, Shocked to See Such Rudeness


By Dan Hagen

Stung by their darling Paul Ryan’s being slapped down in debate, Fox News whines that Vice President Joe Biden was “rude” and “disrespectful” to Lyin’ Ryan.
Oh, really? “Rude,” eh?
When then-Sen. Obama secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination for president, he and his wife Michelle exchanged a fist pound greeting before he gave his speech. Pitching an upcoming "body language expert" segment, Fox News host E.D. Hill referred to the exchange as a possible "terrorist fist jab." In August 2012, Fox News host Dennis Miller fantasized on the air about throwing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi off a cliff.
On Aug. 6, 2009, Fox News star Glenn Beck “joked” that he'd like to murder Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by poisoning her wine, then had the transcript scrubbed to hide his statement.
O'Reilly suggested that the CIA should kidnap Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Pelosi, and perhaps even waterboard Pelosi, at a stop on his Bold & Fresh speaking tour on Jan. 23, 2010, in Westbury, NY.
In May 2008, Fox News pundit Liz Trotta, while discussing the idea of assassinating Osama bin Laden, confused his name with that of Barack Obama, then said, “Well ... both, if we could!” and laughed happily.
Now Fox News is lying that the victorious Biden was “drunk” during the debate. To paraphrase Lincoln, “He was? Then get all my candidates a bottle of that.”
