Monday morning as the hosts of Fox & Friends were talking about a Code Pink protester who heckled Senator Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles, Brian Kilmeade threw a hissy fit about the group saying the man in the video should have been tazed. He then went on to suggest that "these people" should expect to be brutally punished for exercising their right to free speech;
Kilmeade: "They should taze this guy!" [snip]
"...Why do they think they're going to continue to be politely escorted out. At one point with security so high and tensions on edge, don't you think they're going to get at the very least tazed or beaten to a pulp by somebody?"

Requisite "Don't taze me, bro!" comment
When can we start beating hack "reporters" to a pulp?
The nazis dont want free speech or critical thinking or any questions. They are very sick. Go Dennis!!
The p*ssy Kilmeade couldn't beat a grape into a pulp. Little boot licking wimps like Kilmeade hung out with jocks in high school because he was too much a pansy to defend himself.
The title of the article is rather misleading, seeing as how Brian "Douchebag #2" Kilmeade wa obviously asking a rhetorical question, and not suggesting that they be beaten to a pulp. This is the same tactic used by Republicans and Neo-cons to diminish from meaningful discussion.
Hahaha. Pretty tough words from someone who was "traumatized" by Barbara Eden's genie outfit when he was a child.
Talk to the hand, black-haired-guy-who's-not-the-brown-haired-guy-who's-not-Steve-Doocy.
FOX is State Sponsored TV
FOX is State Sponsored TV-
Is this guy a republican or something? It seems lately that America is dominated by the "if you say something I don't like I'll punch you in the face" method of discourse.
"Getting to Yes" is so old hat. "Getting my Fist in Your Face" is so now.
Why do these lying, unprofessional, obfuscating, unethical "SOLD-OUT-WHORES" calling themselves "reporters" think they’re going to continue to be politely accepted. At one point with our security so frail and our tensions on edge, don’t you think they’re going to get at the very least tazed or beaten to a pulp by somebody?”
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is insane. These people take these verbal dumps on public airwaves every damn day. The last time I had a fight was in elementary school, 40 years ago. I'm a calm reasoned person but, comments like this make me want to f**k'n want punch this guys lights out (and the ).
Will this kind of thing be covered under the new Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007? Created by a dem, a California dem:
“The impetus is that homegrown terror is something that we now see in Western Europe. It’s by far the number one threat to security in Britain,” Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), who introduced the bill, told In These Times.
“A chief problem is radical forms of Islam, but we’re not only studying radical Islam,” Harman says. “We’re studying the phenomenon of people with radical beliefs who turn into people who would use violence.”
"Rep. Harman is careful to emphasize the language in the bill that states that the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts “shall not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, or civil liberties of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents.” However, the bill also directs the DHS to write its own rules to protect civil rights and puts the Department’s office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in charge of making the rules for the commission and the research center as well as administering the audits. "
There are concerns that we have now reproduced the aliens and sedition act, or the McCarthy ear all over again.
Ward Churchill: “HR 1955, as I understand it, provides a basis for subjective interpretation of dissident speech that allows those in power to criminally penalize anything they considered to be particularly effective in terms of galvanizing an opposition that might conceivably in some sense disrupt or destabilized the status quo, so it’s to keep everything in that nice sanitized arena that I was just talking about where you’re actually a collateral functionary of the state by participating.”

Hope Glen Greenwald discusses this.
Brown-haired guy who is not Steve Deuecy-advocating violence against others.
Brown-haired guy who is not Steve Deuecy=total balless douche bag.
I guess he's sticking up for Hillary because his boss. Murdoch. is financially supporting her campaign, and he and the Clintons are new BFFs
I saw the Fox broadcast live. It should be noted that "Hillary Hater" was on the ticker. During the day, it is the soft sell, aimed at women. Fox is in general very easy on Hillary during the day.
X @ 5:
I disagree. After watching the video there was zero room for doubt that Kilmeade is fine with violence against Code Pink members. He wasn't echoing anyone else's words they were his own and what he would like to see happen. If you were truly looking for meaningful discussion, using terms like "Douchebag #2" really hurts your cause. Thanks for you concern.
Taze someone because his protest is distracting from a politician? His non-violent protest? Guys who say shit like that on the air ought to have their employment status reviewed.
Don't forget that the Taser, while safer than a firearm, is sometimes lethal. To risk killing someone just to stop non-violent protest would mean a breathtaking disregard for human life.
Fox Guy needs to be Tasered just so he knows what he's talking about next time he casually says it should happen to someone else.
An Other Greek @ 9:
Yes. Yes I do.
at the very least tazed or beaten to a pulp by somebody
Well, if it ever happens I'm sure it will be by somebody...else. 'Cause you can bet those Nancy Boys at Faux would be in the corner crying and peeing if they actually thought they might have to fight someone.

Geraldo @ 8:
Actually, these chickenhawk repukes don't threaten to do the punching themselves, the threat is always "somebody" should punch, tase, kill or whatever. Either that or they mail their death threats anonymously. It's rare to actually find one who has any balls.
Not very friendly from Fox and Friends!
Hey, look. It's the dark haired guy who isn't Steve Doocy !!
Land of the free ......
X @ 5:
The difference between progressives and the neocons is, we actually post the clips so that one can analyze and judge for oneself.
The relevant quotes are:
"Don't you think they're going to get, at the very least, tazed and beaten to a pulp? These people look threatening!"
and
"But I would be for tazing anyone in Code Pink. I'm pro Pink tazing" (right at the end)
Taken together in context I believe they more than support the headline.
Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism
# 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. The regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.
#6. A controlled mass media. Under some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.
where's the brown haired guy whos not steve doocey swastika armband???
Faux bombing head: "I don't understand why they go after Democrats"
Once again, Faux proves that the only thing they and their viewers understand are labels.
With that kind of reasoning no Republican is ever a "bad" republican, not even Larry Craig. Does it get anymore intellectually lazy than that?
Tough talk from another pussy at Fox. Wow... I'm so not surprised...

The non-chalante way this prick invokes tasing makes me want to vomit. You get tased on national TV in your nutsack, prick, then you can talk like that.
He's pro-Code Pink tasing? Fine. Then maybe they should be pro-kicking him in the nuts so hard that his great grandchildren are born with flat heads? Just asking! See, I added a Fox-like question mark, so that makes it ok.

These "light weight neocons" aren't worth covering. Honestly, if anyone watches them they truly have "no life". Losers!! Not funny, not clever, not interesting....just plain moronic troll bait.
It's like listening to the "your a great American..." callers who call in to kiss vannity's ass for being a prick. Not worth the time of day.
for a comedy show called 'faux and FRIENDS, there sure seems to be a lot of fear and hate. the show doesn't seem to be friendly at all. it is more a mixture of paranoia, shrillness, discrimination, elitism, panic, 'isms and schisms, hate and fear mongering. maybe they could change the name to reflect the show's true nature?
like, say, "faux and fear"?
or "faux and those silly fascists"
or "faux and fuckers"
Cheney @ 27:
Well stated. Pretty much defines their entire political, social and moral philosophies: intellectually lazy, to the hilt.
Pretty tough talk from a guy who wouldn't want to sleep on a sleeping porch because of the flies.
What he is advocating is similar to the people who have praised the police for acting violently against the protesters at the Port of Olympia in Washington state. It is called civil disobedience and are principles used by Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. Kilmeade probably thinks that the police in Pakistan acted in a proper manner against the people who protested against Musharaff.
Fox supports Hillary...defense contractors donate 2 to 1 to HC over any other Republican...former Clinton administration officials are already being appointed by Bush to Defense and State... 80% of all voters want troops out of Iraq in 1 year but not HC ...Bush Clinton Bush Clinton, is defacto one party rule...the Bushes vacation with the bin Ladens and the Clintions vacation with the Bushes
HC is the real Republican candidate and the prefered candidate of the military industrial complex....
Classy! This is the type of Fox-drone or NRO widget who thinks that all Americans should be proud of torture and especially waterbearding.
Ah, American broadcasting in its vast panoply of weirdos who should be institutionalized and not on the public airways!
Sorry, but X is right. The headline is misleading. There's no need to be sloppy. At no point did the guy say explicitly that someone should be beaten to a pulp. You can read between the lines, but when reading between the lines, you aren't supposed to use quotation marks. That's pretty basic.
Also, focusing on the remarks about the beating completely obscures what is so freaking hilarious about the guy. Not only does he say at the very end that he is pro-tazing code-pink members, he thinks they are threatening! Fox news members are so terrified of anti-war code pink demonstrators they feel the need to arm themselves. Hi-larious.
Does Faux News hire their employees from mental institutions?
There has to be a balance, by exercising their right to free speech are you suggesting that no candidate of any party, no matter what the venue, can and should be shouted down? Not allowing anyone to speak without allowing someone to disrupt their speech is good because any attempt to stop anyone from disrupting any speech against the constitution? At what point do the peoples right to hear someone give a speech inter into the equation? I am not suggesting that anyone be tasered or beaten but if I had gone to the trouble to go hear someone give a speech and the whole thing were ruined by a bunch of people screaming at the speaker that doesn't seem right ether.
Why, oh why, do they let these neanderthals speak? We have to start ignoring these bozos and stop the free publicity for their hateful rubbish.
The Code Pink members will have to remember to swear out warrants against FOX when brain dead FOX viewers carry out FOX's orders/recommendations. Incitement to commission of crimes. They will also be able to press RICO charges against FOX, whether anybody acts upon FOX's calls to commit crimes or not. They will have several RICO charges they can press. FOX meets all criteria to satisfy RICO suit requirements.

"Don't waterboard me, dude!"
I H A T E FOX as much as anyone...
Ah the guy was joking ...stupid unfunny Joke
But when Hannety won't let a Democrat joke and
thinks they were serious and takes a Kerry joke as
a serious statement
Shouldn't we be above this garbage ...the gut made a stupid
JOKE .... he is lame ...HE WAS NOT SERIOUS
And if you say "WHAT KIND OF PERSON JOKES ABOUT THAT"
If you held any of your fav left leaning comics to that standard
there would be zero comics.
And to say he is a news guy .... give me a break .. it is a terrible
lame fluff morning chat show ... but for this website I would never
have heard of.
There are SOOOO many great credible point to go after the right about
... This weak nit picking help us lose credibility .
I became a little nauseous when they mocked the student who got tazed in Florida. Faux news should be considered a terrorist TV network at this point as they try to scare people into submission, apathy and compliance with fascist leaders.
Bwahahahaha!!! Brian Kilmeade, what a little pip-squeak! What's the saying? Oh yeah, he's so far in the closet he's finding Christmas presents from three years ago.
FOX News....Crooks and Liars watches it so we don't have to.
Fox news gets very upset when people protest Rupert Murdoch favorite candidate...HC is Margaret Thatcher in drag...
Just more proof that the american government (whom are americans) don't like people giving the other side of the story against their overlord ruler and his cartel :

Yellow Elephant Safari @ 2:
Exactly, I don't think that's too far off in our future. Fox News reaches a lot of viewers including policeman and security guards around the country. The more they push this swill, the more "tolerant" the kool-aid drinkers become with this behavior. If these guys want to go that route with us, there will be consequences.
"what's up with these people, i thought they were in favor of the demicrats" says the bimbo in the middle.
perhaps, just perhaps code pink members protesting the war are not affiliated with one party or another. maybe just maybe they represent the 70% of americans that oppose this war.
i know, for a repube morning yackfest host this is a concept beyond comprehension, but you think it would sink in by now.
I would expect nothing less from these douche bags.
Welcome to America. There is no getting around it ... fascism, thugishness - neoliberalism - is now a permanent part of 'America'. That genie will not fit back in the bottle.
The other week Brian Killmeade called for car bombs to go off in Iran, this week he is calling for peaceful protesters to be tazered and beaten to a pulp. this fascist piece of scum should be taken off the air.
Oh, of course it's a rhetorical question. Only in their sick, fascist wet dreams is free speech - even the antics of Code Pink - met with tasering and beating, then excused by this 'time of war' and 'security situation' bullcrap.
Doesn't Doocy remember Dana Perino doing her best Katie Couric imitation and telling us it's never acceptable to restrict the Constitution to fight terrorism?
I love the smell of fascism in the morning :)
As a follow on - lately I have concluded that this is in fact a police state. As someone with personal experience dating back to the '50s I can tell you that things have changed. Slowly to be sure, but certainly.
One of the if not THE worse thing you can do in this country is challenge the authority of the police. You can - and many do - die by doing this. (Remember the fellow that was murdered by san diego sheriffs when he fled from them as a 'suspect' in setting the fires?)
What does it mean when the authority of the police trumps civil rights? I believe it means police state.
"Where do they get off doing this?"
"They're threatening, don't you think they're threatening?"
Uhhh, I dunno...Perhaps the Code Pink folks feel they should SPEAK UP and actually have the gumption to do so? Yeah, so threatened by free speech, typical Fox News bullshit...
Stupid fools.

Dr. Matt @ 4:

The RWers have been trying to edge the rabid right into an SA/SS stage of political "enlightenment" for quite awhile now.
Cheney @ 28:
What can you expect? Actual issues are beyond their comprehension.
and this was Fox news? what a surprise
Cheney @ 30:
I thought you had it right the first time. Except I guess the bombing that they support isn't faux at all.
Welllll, that's what you get when you're fascists...
Okay, I get that Fox likes to trot out these conservative shills on all of their shows. Fine.. understood. The problem I have is that they don't feel the need to hire anyone who is the least bit competent. Now I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that think having a conservative viewpoint precludes this, but surely these aren't the only three people that could have landed this gig on Fox & Friends. They embarrass themselves on a daily basis.
I would never advocate tazing Fix News commentators, but perhaps a light electric shock whenever they say something particularly stupid could act as a gentle aid to improving them and the network.
I have to say that after having watched these RWers just leaning back and spouting their vile lies for years to a pliant public willing to eat their garbage uncontested, it is, ummm, interesting, to say the least to watch them scramble and flex their muscles now that the people are buying less and less of their propaganda. It seems the more people question their statements the louder these yokels yell that anyone who questions them should be questioned and "tazed".
If they are willing to talk about tazing dissenters now just wait till the election! The RW election monitors will have tazers in their purses ready to use them on dissenters or democrats!
I find it amazing that code pick demands free speech and their rights under our constituion but yet will impue on others rights with and say it is for the common good.
The Constitution does protect the freedom of speech of every citizen, and even of non-citizens — but only from restriction by the Congress (and, by virtue of the 14th Amendment, by state legislatures, too). There are plenty of other places where you could speak but where speech can and is suppressed. For example, freedom of speech can be and often is restricted in a work place, for example: employers can restrict your right to speak in the work place about politics, about religion, about legal issues, even about Desperate Housewives. The same restrictions that apply to the government do not apply to private persons, employers, or establishments. For another example, the government could not prohibit the sale of any newspaper lest it breech the freedom of the press. No newsstand, however, must carry every paper against its owners' wishes.
If some stranger approached you with hand cuffs saying you are a criminal with put a badge or any other form of ID, Screaming citizens arrest, I am sure you would just put your hands out and say ok.
These people with their pink shirts whats the deal? They always try to start something, to me they are causing nothing but problems. I would say they just sit on butt trying figure out things they can cause problems with. When will these people learn soon enough they will get tazed an I won't fill an ounce of remorse for those losers! you would think they could figure out some other way to start some drama, so instead they get there butt pulled out every dam conference an publisized events how dumb... So who is with me a waste of time or maybe something really behind it?
I don't suppose a small thing like freedom of speech or due process matters much to Nazis like these chimps. Why do they hate America so much?
So are you offering to do the job Kilmeade? You unmitigated Piece of Shit.
I actually do understand though - it's your job to go out there and promulgate hatred - the subtle beginnings - making it acceptable to be physically (at least) abusive of Americans exercising their rights as citizens of the United States of America.
It's your job to undermine free speech - to blur the lines and encourage an atmosphere of violence, hatred and fear. You're just another Reich-wing tool like Insannity, O'Lielly. and Mann Coulter.
You. fucking. suck.
And you don't deserve to be a citizen of this country. I charge you with Treason against your country.

Kilmeade not only was traumatized by I Dream of Jeanie (a few folks have mentioned that), he also called for the creation of a Department of Censorship. I'm not kidding: http://mediamatters.org/items/200606290009
He was evidently traumatized by the "leaking" of criminal activity by BushCo. Not the activity, mind you, but the fact that the Times made it public.
If an American is a person who believes and advocates individual liberty and a "government which governs least" this fool is not an American. If a Christian is a person who loves his neighbor as he loves himself, he ain't that, either. What he is is a sad and petulant little fascist in short pants who wants the State to beat up and shut up the many people he doesn't like.
And, as others have mentioned, he doesn't actually call for the "beating to a pulp" of Code Pink. But neith did king Henry call for the murder of Thomas a Becket.
What about Clinton's freedom of speech? What about the audience's freedom of assembly to hear her speak? You can't shout somebody down and then wail about freedom of speech. It's like fighting for peace or f*cking for virginity.
Black-haired-guy-who-is-not-Steve-Doocy also said America should fund iranian rebels to set off car bombs to kill members of the Iranian government.
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't glorifying/promoting acts of terrorism illegal?
Jay Johnson @ 72:
Because they are paid to.
Didn't the rightwing fascists spend all that time denying the inherent fascism in tasing the kid at the Kerry Q&A? Naturally they found it humorous.
The rightwing is a bunch of sadistic freaks.
If these TV snarks only knew how we would pay higher cable fees to see the get tazzed when they freak out as in the Vid clip.
How about a reality viewer participation FOX network.
Where viewers have a link to the studio where viewers can electronically (from home) Taz any of the media goofballs live, for their nonesense as the the show is in progress??????????????????
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 21:
It's the same tactics that "leaders" of hate groups, like skinheads, use...they put the idea into their followers heads, and claim innocence when the deed actually gets done.
Assholes!
This just show that these protesters are disrupting the normal flow of right-wing b.s. that they used to expect to get away with every election campaign. Keep up the good work Code Pink!
Which of these pinheads is Kilmeade? The one in the middle?

I think it's only right to violently suppress the free speech right of those in the Reich-Wing that want to suppress the legal rights of US Citizens.
They clearly want and need someone to kick their own asses once in a while. Otherwise why would they wish this on others?
It's what they yearn for - it's what they crave. A big-stick daddy figure. Hurt me - PLEASE!! And if you're lucky you might even get a diaper or a wet-suit, some falafal, or a dildo up your bum to make the experience more pleasurable.

Hey white boy. Code Pink is a group that stands for their principals. If you are a Democrat and you are supporting the war, they will tell you it's wrong. I wear my Code Pink tshirt and I have never heckeled or disturbed anything. So before you start sweeping every supporter up and beating them to a pulp, learn what they are doing. You are on a news show, asshole. Try to read a few articles before shooting off your stupid mouth.

The idea of tazing these zippers is just so enticing... Anybody know where we might find them next?

It seems to me that maybe Brian Kilmeade would feel more at home in North Korea under Kim Jong Il's Government. He does those things Kilmeade mentioned and much more I'm sure. Kilmeade would be pleased with North Korea's police state.
A couple of days ago - a guy died at an airport in Canada because the police tazed him. There were several cops, just one medium sized man with no weapon behaving irrationally and they tazed him. He died.Why aren't police officers trained to a high level in judo, karate or another martial art? Can someone answer that question please? I wonder if tazers , like psychiatric medications, are not , to some degree, government experiments in controlling the population. Somewhere on the internet - I read about something like they are trying to develop satellites that could zap crowds of protesters and temporarily immobilize them.
If anyone should be tazed it would be the morons on fox. Not a bad idea.

tom ivory @ 75:
Those rights certainly exist, and are just as valid as Code Pink's right to free speech. Ultimately, protesters are removed and cited, Hillary gets to speak, and the audience gets to hear what she was going to say.
But musing about tasering Medea Benjamin only shows that you're a sick, sick person.
Don @ 91:
I don't think that's it, I think that the big problem is the perception of tazers as "non-lethal" and "non-disfiguring" methods of controlling people. It's easier to taze someone than to grab them in a headlock, so that's what they do. In other words, I think the fact that tazers are "non-lethal" force encourages their use. Where before a policeman would have to feel a high level of danger before pulling his gun, it doesn't have to be the same high level to whip out a tazer, so everyone gets tazed just for speaking loudly.
Don @ 91:
Ok buddy... tinfoil hat off please...
Don't get me wrong - that's horrible. I can actually explain why police aren't given massive Martial Arts instruction though:
Firstly - It takes a long time to get good at any martial art. Even ones based around very simple natural movements (Krav Maga for instance); its the same reason that the gun replaced the bow on the battlefield - its far easier to teach someone how to use a taser than it is to teach them a martial art with an appreciable level of success.
That doesn't mean its right the way tasers have been abused lately - not in the least. Merely an explanation of the 'why' behind them. Its simpler and cheaper.
As for psychiatric medicine... uhm... wtf mate? Do I look "controlled" to you? I've been on this site sharing my dissent for over a year now; I also happen to be on anti-depressants. Don't believe everything you read on the web; *anyone* can post stuff on the internet; which is good, and bad - some of what gets posted is just a crock.
Joe O. @ 90:
Too true. Then again a lot of the wingnuts seem to be just crying for a dictator of that sort. *sigh*
Of course, they all forget that they aren't as likely to be on the top rung as they think they are.
Forgive Brian...He was having an "Ultimate Fight Challenge" flashback, and totally forgot that you cannot just beat the s#!t out of someone because you don't like what they said.
He's just another empty bobbleheaded yesman at Faux...Hust wait until the end of the reign of George the second...like their moral counterparts did in Nuremburg, the Fauxsnoozers will simply try to excuse their misdeeds by repeating "I was only following orders".
Don @ 91:
It takes years of study to achieve a first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. And I suspect what you are suggesting - a level of proficiency so as to be able to disable a person without causing lasting harm - simply does not exist.
On the other hand, it's not a satellite you're talking about, but a mobile unit resembling a satellite truck (which you see at sporting and major news events). The weapon, which is being tested, uses microwaves to cause extreme discomfort to the target, forcing them to move. It is apparently able to focus on a single person within a crowd.
On the other hand, I don't know if wrapping yourself in a reflective material like a space blanket or even just tin foil would have an effect on the beam, or if things like fog, rain, and other environmental conditions can interfere with the weapon's effectiveness.
The weapon was demonstrated, with appropriate ooohs and aaaaahs, on 'Future Weapons' on the Discovery Channel.

[deleted - C&L does not condone advocation of violence - sitemonitor]
Note that he says "at the very LEAST....tazed, beaten" implying something worse should happen to protestors.
A couple of days ago - a guy died at an airport in Canada because the police tazed him. There were several cops, just one medium sized man with no weapon behaving irrationally and they tazed him...
Actually it was over a month ago. The Vancouver RCMP confiscated the camera with the footage because it was 'extremely imortant evidence' then gave it back to the owner last week who released it to National media. The RCMP 'decided it wasnt that important'. They had origially claimed the guy fought them, was drunk, and that he was responsive after they tazed him. All were shown to be lies by the video.
Canukistanis are very upset this ... its big news.
Big John @ 40:
If anything proves that point, this clip is it, just look at the graphic. Faux seems to be trotting out their favorite meme (a la "They just hate Duhbya so blahblahblah...") and applying to our dear Hillary.
When was the last time a Democrat got that kind of treatment on Fox?
Very, VERY suspicious...
"Brown-haired guy, who's not Steve Doochy", is up to his usual antics.
I do not advocate violence towards Code Pinkers. However, I think they're boring pains in the ass, and self-righteous idiots, in fact. At this event, there was one thing happening: three Democratic candidates were discussing what their policies are on global warming. This guy, on the other hand, decides to protest against a vote that Hillary made, along with all the "smart" Democrats like Edwards, because all of insider Washington was saying, don't have a peace vote on your record. In fact, that resolution could have been used to finally discover that Saddam HAD no WMDs. That MIGHT have led to the relaxation of sanctions, or whatever. Of course, it was stupid to take W on his word, and I think they all knew that. But Code Pink stands resolutely on the platform of turning on the Time Machine, showing up at the Senate vote, and having Hillary vote no. I guess they think that Kerry and Edwards and the others would thus have magically voted no too.
What they don't seem to know, or to care about, is that the coverage from this event, because of this idiot, was not on global warming. The lead sentence on ALL the stories for the next 24 hours were, "Hillary is heckled." Nothing about Edwards vs. the Hillary plan, or the surprising announcement that Kucinich is for a Guaranteed Annual Wage (first politician since Nixon!) for all displaced workers in the oil industry.
They seem to be on a crusade against any Democrat being elected. Gee, why don't they ring up Nader, and form a third party, and run on the presidential ticket. Great idea! After all, we know how well that worked before.
True fact: people voted for Nixon in '72 knowing that he would end the war too, as he did. But they voted for Nixon because they hated the demonstrations, the long hair, the hippies and the violent groups. Keep going, Code Pink. You CAN snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory, if you just brainwash yourselves even more.
[deleted - please don't advocate violence here.]
Isn't it time to revoke Fox's broadcast license?
You are losing you country fast. I gotta say. Don't watch Endgame if you have access to a firearm. You will immediate understand how life and death your struggle against the Bilderberger group is.
Just be smart and realize the goal is us all under one dictatorship.
Wasn't Kilmeade "traumatized" by Barbara Eden's bare midriff on "I Dream Of Jeannie"?
liberalNmoderation @ 110:
Awww man...sorry... ;)
> Why aren’t police officers trained to a high level in judo, karate or another martial art?
They used to be. The problem is that those forms to subduing a perpetrator put the cop at some sort of physical risk. Better to stand back and hose them down with pepper spray, zap them with tazer darts or stun them from low earth orbit rather than risk themselves in any way.
The police are becoming increasing risk averse and these "less than lethal" methods allow them to become even more removed from the populace. I think this rick aversion and separation combine so that when the cops end up having to actually interact with perpetrators on a physical level, they turn their fear of injury outwards into sever beatings and the overuse and inappropriate use of tasers.
I'm throwing the link to this clip out on the web, spread it around or save the link... whatever. This is emblematic of FOX News - advocating violence against first amendment demonstrators who oppose violence... *sigh*
The Clip
http://test.redlasso.com/service/svc/clip/playClip?fid=18e5cf09-afd0-497...
Those sadistic fucks are laughing at the audio tape of the UF student getting tasered. They asked for it to be repeated. They are sadistic fucks. The show should be called "Fox and Sadistic Fucks."
Fox News is the enemy of a free Democratic America. PERIOD!
Oh, great. I'm gonna go join Code Pink to spite him.
In all seriousness, this is just a sign of the times we live in.
Don't like what someone's saying? Punch them in the face, and be a man!
Try to agree to disagree? Well, than you're just a sissy liberal fag!
I really am sickened, but this is what I expect from Fox.
It's extremely difficult for me to believe that this is a television show, that these people are really doing and saying the things that they're doing and say and finally that they are still on the air and they apparently have an audience.
The way those sick pricks on FUX Noise get off on the idea of tazering and violence, you could call them the "Shock and Orgasm" channel.
I dont think he did enough to be tased, but he should have been forcibly removed. Teh cops handled it well.
Interrupting a speech and an event is not free speech. If you allowed that itd be anarchy.
I'm starting to really DIG these CODE PINK people. They're the only ones with any guts.
As usual, Fux sux. Listen to the level of the dialogue in the USA (then weep).
If they don't like Code Pink for their statements and actions, then what the hell do they think about the comment from a Senator John McCain supporter, who asked him what he was going to do with the Bitch, as she referred to Senator Hillary Clinton.
Senator McCain's comment was, that's a good question, should he be tased also.?
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
A 2mm, short sleeve, "Spring" surf wetsuit top under one's clothing and a pair of thick rubber soled shoes would negate the effect of the electronic charge.
As well, a rubberized or plastic "Macintosh" or rain jacket might work just as well.
Thanks to Crooks and Liars I don't have to wonder what I'm missing on cable news and I save the $40.00 a month.
Brian Kilmeade is a very strange man, if "man" is the right word. But what else can one expect from called "Fox & Fiends"?
Sounds like someone reeeaaallly needs a date.
JJohnson @ 97:
Too true, and an excellent point that isn't raised enough. I think a lot of these "cheerleaders" think they'll be top tier in the dictatorship, once it comes (and they do seem to be hoping for that). Sadly for them, they've forgotten that Dick Cheney shoots dear dear old friends in the face, point blank, if they disagree (and somehow forces them to apologize for it, too). Dictators have no friends.
America!!!
Your all going to be tased soon!!
Open your mouth or think for yourselves and "ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!"
People don't realize how global this has become, it's not just our brother's and sister's in America that are being silenced by the world elite (NWO, U.N.) it even happens in Canada.
Don't send your athletes here...they won't make it out of the airport!!!
Unless people start to wake up...we are doomed !!!
JerryM @ 100:
What an incredibly sad thought that is
And they're the ones telling us terrorists are the only ones that understand violence...
These idiots are a drag on decent society. I always hear about how these news anchors aren't like this in person, and that they're actually nice people. I say, so the F what? He's on national television advocating violence against his own countrymen for what they think. Whether he's a "nice guy" off air is no matter. They're not acting, and the absolute commonality of statements like his are a flashing red light that our country has devolved to such a point that these people are allowed to abuse the media to get their garbage points across.
BlueIndependent @ 138:
rudy ghouliani definitely is.
I have an ideal on how to have free speech heard. Hire some rednecks, thugs, and roughnecks to come in and guard the speaker. Lets see how temping it is to 'tase someone who not going to give up because of a little rough stuff.
Fox even has neocon sports anchors in Kilmeade. Their authoritarianism knows no bounds
can you imagine what it's like to hang out with these people?
Careful taking a leak in public restrooms, Brian, if men see your pink panties they're liable to beat the crap out of you.
These asswipes don't understand why the Code Pink people go after Democrats, as well as Republicans?
It's a little thing called INTEGRITY that Faux scum wouldn't understand.
What a piece of shit. Say something, expect physical violence. All that guy was doing was expressing free speech. Just the first amendment is all.
I have to give it to Doocy and Carlson for actually, unbelievably, challenging this ugly little dork.
Funny, a long time ago I said that Kilmeade was the type of dork that would glom on to some popular guys in high school and be an asshole, even though he was a shrill little chickenshit.
Someone above said the same thing. We see right through you neocons.
If I ran into Brian on the street [Deleted], if you catch my drift.What a giant gang of asshats.

Edwin @ 129:
These people have a psychosis that they brought with them to FOX, if you dont have it when you get there, you dont work at FOX.
I've been digging them since I first read the amazing story of MARLA RUZICKA.
Mrs. Benjamin is truly a patriot of the highest caliber.
JJohnson @ 96:
Thats a true story.
