Anyone else notice that Keith didn't use a joking voice when he called Gibson the worst person in the world?

The tide is turing.....the neocon house of cards is falling down....

Just saw this over at MM... Gibson is really, I dunno, just a pile of trash.

[Deleted. Over the top]

John Gibson is simply a sick and pervert individual. Most responsible broadcasting stations would consider this theme abhorrent, not Faux. Satan has a special little place in hell for their asses.

you know i think keith gets more upset with gibby than with billo. seems i heard him say once that he used to work with john gibson and liked him personally. i think it must hit him worse when gibson says stuff like this.

ysbaddaden @ 7:

In Texas we used to have a chain of department stores called Gibsons, we all went there for cheap merchandise.

John Gibson is where you go for cheap ideas and cheap shots.

john 'i like this closet' gibson IS cheap merchandise

Is Gibson running for the title of most heartless person on tv? He seems to be bucking to take BillO's title away from him.

It's almost like these neo-nuts would absolutely love to create their own 9/11 events to stir support for their royal Chimpy McPratfall and to push their evil agenda on the gullible American public.

Nah, that couldn't be right could it?

(Sorry C&L, couldn't resist)

There's a posting on YouTube of Gibson responding to this on his radio show...at least I think he's responding to it. He plays Keith's comments on his reprehensibly disgusting behaviour and then sort of laughs it off with his producer. He tries to ridicule Keith's sign off and describes Keith's allusions to Murrow as pretentious.

What morons.

Anyone who saw Jon Stewart that day or the clip since and finds something there to mock is more jaded and cynical than even "Fix Noise" should be possible to make you. Keith (once again!) hit the nail on the head, "...that was the unity..." And again pointing out the statements that Gibson and "his pal Stu" (lol) made about wishing for another 9/11 are so far beyond any realm of decency or good taste...they sicken and frighten me with this rhetoric. If these are AMERICANS saying this...

Stop playing out of your league Gibson. As you have nothing sensible to contribute, just stay on "Fix Noise" so no one with any sense will have to hear you. And thanks again Keith, for putting the spotlight on these morons and their outrageous behaviour.

I can't wait to see if Jon or Stephen has anything for Gibson...please let them have something soon!

I hope they ignore it. And what it said. We can take care of it here. Jon Stewart shouldn't have to defend his sorrow to a dick like this Gibson fellow.

Where is the video of Gibson that is referenced?

I could use a cheap shot about now.

Me too... vodka with a little bit of vermouth and garnished with a cocktail onion...

...wait a minute, isn't that a Gibson? ;)

Is there such a thing as a cheap 'shot'? I would asume that a shot is more than 25¢ as it was back in the '60s when I would have a shot. ;)

[Deleted. Incoherent]

From the MM link:
GIBSON: The war on Gibson is real. It is pursued every day by the people who just can't abide what you hear on this radio program.

Delusions of grandeur. Pure and simple.

Gibson needs to drink more heavily and take more oxycotin.

Yes, we already know these people have no shame. They also are retards. Please stop watching television, it's destroying your minds.

Help:

I tried to go to dailykos and this comes up on my screen:

Funny how the only time the right wingers get upset about the "need another 9/11" meme is when Kos points out someone saying it. And whether it was a troll or not, they never stop to condemn the statement itself, just others for pointing it out...

Interestingly enough, I believe that all these asshats longing for another terrorist attack on US soil sound rather like they are practicing an apology of terrorism. This is, aren't they somehow supporting or inciting terror acts against US interests? And shouldn't that be prosecutable under the Patriot Act?

That would be some sort of sweet irony, not that laws every apply to right wingers. But still... live by the sword, die by the sword.

Fucktards the lot of them... so in order to show what a great bunch of merry folks their ilk are, a bunch of innocent Americans have to die? Just so they can get their rocks off? Another attack on US soil would prove that George Bush has been such a great president how?

I guess I just don't get neo-con logic...

my ass be polite. tell that demented pedophile gibson what a sick fuck he really is. that guy's nasty face looks all creepy and the pancake pasty makeup fox news puts on it doesn't help either.

Could be, I always understood that the James Bond special was a Gibson and not a martini which is made of gin. I hate gin.

A martini can have either gin or vodka. I prefer vodka as well since gin is not that much different than turpentine, IMO. A Gibson is the same thing as a martini, except you use a cocktail onions instead of green olives.

When I was in the Air Force a mixed drink at the base bar was only 75 cents.

Young'un! When I was the motto was "You can sleep tonight. Your Air Force is drunk." Drinks were 50 cents, beer a quarter. God I'm old.

If anyone but a repuke party member gets into the White House in the 2008 elections (should the elections occur), is there some way to shut Faux News down? After all, their utility at that time will not exist, as official governmental "fear-mongering" will have no place on the airwaves.

All of Faux's staff should be jailed as the ministry of propaganda for the cheney/bush administration - including gibson, who is one of the worst.

Who /wasn't/ horrified on 9/11? Who *wasn't* in suffering over that? I don't doubt even the sincerity of the most nutty among us in that. That was a truly national tragedy.

This makes me truly pissed off. Gibson should be ashamed - more than ashamed. He won't be of course. If a liberal had said anything of the sort, how much kicking and screaming would there be eh? But no; it wasn't, and IOKIYAR.

drugstore cowboy Gibby tries to be "tough" on his radio and tv shows to hide the fact he didn't go to Vietnam

Reprehensible but sadly not surprising.

Mr. Olberman is exhibiting his righteous anger over Gibson whose party has lost all morals. Good for you, Mr. Olberman!

If I may suggest here that even "at the pleasure of the president," 8 U.S. ATTORNEYS WERE FIRED. Is this at the pleasure of the president, his men in office commit crimes?

This to me is sadism! This has turned to be what is called a "lawless nation."

Here is an op-ed that clearly states that our president is destroying America by using his "con artists scare tactics."

Examples of the president's signing statements

April 30, 2006

Since taking office in 2001, President Bush has issued signing statements on more than 750 new laws, declaring that he has the power to set aside the laws when they conflict with his legal interpretation of the Constitution. The federal government is instructed to follow the statements when it enforces the laws. Here are 10 examples and the dates Bush signed them:

March 9: Justice Department officials must give reports to Congress by certain dates on how the FBI is using the USA Patriot Act to search homes and secretly seize papers.

Bush's signing statement: The president can order Justice Department officials to withhold any information from Congress if he decides it could impair national security or executive branch operations.

Dec. 30, 2005: US interrogators cannot torture prisoners or otherwise subject them to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

Bush's signing statement: The president, as commander in chief, can waive the torture ban if he decides that harsh interrogation techniques will assist in preventing terrorist attacks.

Dec. 30: When requested, scientific information ''prepared by government researchers and scientists shall be transmitted [to Congress] uncensored and without delay."

Bush's signing statement: The president can tell researchers to withhold any information from Congress if he decides its disclosure could impair foreign relations, national security, or the workings of the executive branch.

Aug. 8: The Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and its contractors may not fire or otherwise punish an employee whistle-blower who tells Congress about possible wrongdoing.

Bush's signing statement: The president or his appointees will determine whether employees of the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can give information to Congress.

Dec. 23, 2004: Forbids US troops in Colombia from participating in any combat against rebels, except in cases of self-defense. Caps the number of US troops allowed in Colombia at 800.

Bush's signing statement: Only the president, as commander in chief, can place restrictions on the use of US armed forces, so the executive branch will construe the law ''as advisory in nature."

Dec. 17: The new national intelligence director shall recruit and train women and minorities to be spies, analysts, and translators in order to ensure diversity in the intelligence community.

Bush's signing statement: The executive branch shall construe the law in a manner consistent with a constitutional clause guaranteeing ''equal protection" for all. (In 2003, the Bush administration argued against race-conscious affirmative-action programs in a Supreme Court case. The court rejected Bush's view.)

Oct. 29: Defense Department personnel are prohibited from interfering with the ability of military lawyers to give independent legal advice to their commanders.

Bush's signing statement: All military attorneys are bound to follow legal conclusions reached by the administration's lawyers in the Justice Department and the Pentagon when giving advice to their commanders.

Aug. 5: The military cannot add to its files any illegally gathered intelligence, including information obtained about Americans in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches.

Bush's signing statement: Only the president, as commander in chief, can tell the military whether or not it can use any specific piece of intelligence.

Nov. 6, 2003: US officials in Iraq cannot prevent an inspector general for the Coalition Provisional Authority from carrying out any investigation. The inspector general must tell Congress if officials refuse to cooperate with his inquiries.

Bush's signing statement: The inspector general ''shall refrain" from investigating anything involving sensitive plans, intelligence, national security, or anything already being investigated by the Pentagon. The inspector cannot tell Congress anything if the president decides that disclosing the information would impair foreign relations, national security, or executive branch operations.

Nov. 5, 2002: Creates an Institute of Education Sciences whose director may conduct and publish research ''without the approval of the secretary [of education] or any other office of the department."

Bush's signing statement: The president has the power to control the actions of all executive branch officials, so ''the director of the Institute of Education Sciences shall [be] subject to the supervision and direction of the secretary of education."

The visual quality is NOT even reasonably fair.
If I ever look this up in the archives, I hope it isn't the same one....

baylaw73 @ 65:

What words can capture the depth of inhumanity at Fox? How can those people say such things and get away with it? How can any company sponsor anyone who would call for another attack? Where does Gibson get off mocking anyone? And what the f is wrong with people that listen to this a-hole? It simply boggloes my mind that there ae enough sadistic, sociopathic pieces of human garbage around to keep a thing like Gibson on the air. If the level of discourse in this country allows anyting but universal condemantion of Fox for airing this garbage, we are indeed in dire straits. C&L, PLEASE post a list of Gibson's/Fox's sponsors. People, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop buying their products or using their services. Otherwise, unless you have literally NO option, you are condoning this vile trash. This is much, MUCH worse than what Imus said. Much worse.

I agree. Foul AT&T bought out my cell phone company recently and I have ever since been toying with the idea of buying out my contract and switching to a new provider. This just gives me another reason.

It sucks, because I fear the hassle of losing my phone number. If it can be transferred, then it is a no-brainer, money be damned just so long as it isn't going to AT&T anymore (one of Doughboy's sponsors as listed by another C&Ler above). Anybody have any insight here?

Just listened to it on YouTube.
It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever come across.

Here is a small list of some of the FoxNews.com sponsors. Let's maybe write them and see how they feel being associated and apparently condoning hate speech.

Expedia.com

Monster.com

Match.com

freecreditreport.com

aarp.com

bankrate.com

Fight fire with fire I say. Fox News is the literal worst thing to ever happen to American media. They are preying on the elderly and weaker minded of our society, and splitting this country apart. Free speech aside, Fox News needs to be shut down.

Gibson needs to go back to his phoney War on Christmas.

john gibson... the epitome of boring. i bet his kids know where to get the good drugs.
i'd have to be stoned all the time to live in the same house as this guy.
and people let this guy into their living room every night. i bet the real tighty righties
watch him while they're in lying in bed eating their greasy chicken. GAWD... that's disgusting. and such a truly boring way to live.

As a old ex-marine vietnam era, it never amazes me how stupid politicians can be, but without a doubt their counter parts in the media like this Gibson and his advocating a terrorist attack, and thousands dead too bring his republican party back into power and respect is laughable if one believed they were joking, but they are not, they truly wish for this since 2006 they lost congress/senate, and 2008 looks like white house goes next with many more seats in congress/senate, truly desperation is driving them too suicide, since I noted Gibsons show is housed in NYC, imagine a 1 ton nuclear device going off in NYC with its hundreds of thousands of people and Gibson and his cheering buddies all being vaporized in a instant, 11 million lives in NYC ruined, those not buried under the rubble will be fleeing the radiation and subsequent fallout, I venture too bet, Gibson and his loud mouthed buddies will not be laughing if they get what they are wishing for..., the old adage of "beware what you wish for is truly something too think about", imagine all the warmongers in media from Fox Network, and a few others in NYC, getting too see war and death up close and not sitting in their living rooms cheering like a football game where they are mere spectators..

You can email Gibson and he will answer your email. Particularly right after his program.
And you can kick his ass up and down the block.
It's hilarious. But I give him credit that he will talk to you.

Peoples Front of Judea @ 24:

Where is the video of Gibson that is referenced?

It's an audio clip from his radio show. It's absolutely revolting. Do not listen in a full stomach:

Another 9-11 could pull American's together. But if there is another, I don't think it will bring us bleating for protection.

I checked out Bykofksy's article.

The unity brought by such an attack sadly won't last forever.

The first 9/11 proved that.

Why the hell does he think another will do the trick?!

Only good that came out this is that I got to watch Mr. Stewart's commentary again.

Radically Moderate @ 71:

John Gibson:
We were ALL hurt by what happened on9-11-01. I have never seen our nation pull together like it did after 9-11.
I have seen the clip of Jon Stewart on his first show back, and Americans for many years to come will be moved by his sorrow and his
pain. I also remember David Lettermans first show back, he was also hurt and when he told his first post 9-11 bin ladin joke his audience gave him a standing ovation. We were united and courteous to one another, we let let the other guy go in front at the intersection, we held the door for each other, we were more polite in our conversations.
It was the hate mongers like yourself, and O'Reilly, and Coulter, and hannity,and Beck,and Malkin,and Limbaugh,andMedved and all of the wanna be's that slapped us back into the segregated society of left=bad, right=good, and no commonality in the center.
Your claim to be religious,and yet your actions are nihilistic and devoid of emotion. You advovate the privelage of the private institution over the right of Citizens.
Your Hate Monger movement is now on the downward side of history, and that history will not be kind to your misguided beliefs.

Right frickin' on! Thanks for saying that for all of us.

A fear that the executive could use the excuse of an emergency to get a tyrannical toehold is wise. -- Publius

Both Bykofksy and Gibson needs to read up on the Federalist Papers.

Before that prior quote is the statement that Because all citizens cannot regularly meet to discuss and make laws, it is continually exposed to the ambitions of the executive officials.

Perhaps true in the 18th century. But the Internet has changed this in general, and sites, like C&L and others, that encourage discussion in particular.
