FOX anchor walks off set over Obama-bashing
By SilentPatriot Thursday Mar 20, 2008 3:10pm
Wow. There's a headline I never thought I'd write. What is going on with these FOX anchors? This morning on "Fox & Friends," anchor Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after repeated attempts by the two other FOX dittoheads to bash Barack Obama for his "typical white person" remark.

Although it's true Kilmeade took particular offense to the "typical sports guy" swipe by Doocy -- Kilmeade has covered sports for much of his career -- his attempt to put Obama's quote into the context of tense race relations stretching back 60 years was admirable and refreshing. Especially for a channel show that typically consists of three morons piling up on anything Democrat.

I would agree, you can't blame Obama. It's the media's fault for giving Obama a free pass without any true research and investigation of his past -- until now when it's too late and the Dems are already stuck with Obama for the November Pres. elections.
Now if only they would all walk off and replace Faux News with Air America.
P.D. @ 2:
i've never understand why some very wealthy liberal (or just wealthy for that matter) doesn't start up a fox news opposite on cable. the audience is definitely there.
Jeez Ted, I really don't care who is on the ticket in November. But I'll tell you this, I will never vote for McCain.
He didn't look that pissed.
Any guesses as to if this was staged? If not, yay for Kilmeade!
nice of him to walk out on those two asshats. shows he has half a brain at least.
Maybe the Faux News audience will take the hint. Walk away.
wow.
I never thought Brown-haired-guy-who-is-not-Steve-Doocy had it in him.
Maybe even some of the wingnuts are starting to realize just how stupid the discourse in this country has become?
killthepoor@3, Very true. But I don't have any rich liberal friends. Most of my peers, are shall we say, of limited income.
In the spirit of Rodney Dangerfield..."Now I know why lions eat their young"...that soccer mom and her cheesy sidekick are loons.
Aren't MSNBC and CNN already the wealthy liberal networks (opposite Fox)?
Oops, my bad. I had said on the other thread that it was Wallace who walked off.
I stand corrected.
My apologies.
Is it me, or does there seem to be a lot of Fox-bashing going on here today?
Who's gonna be the Chris Wallace or Brian Kilmeade of C&L?
A FOX anchor walks off set over Obama-bashing?
Wow.
Good Friday so good indeed.
Ted @ 11:
You obviously haven't been watching CNN. They hired GLENN BECK.
Enough said.
Plus, a couple of liberals on CNBC doesn't really make things even, does it? Especially when CNBC still employs fatheads like Russert and Matthews.
This and Chris Wallace...Go forth today to buy that lottery ticket and hell, ask out that impossibly attractive woman/ man you thought would never say yes cause I think hell is, maybe a wee bit, freezing over.
CNN is Faux News lite! Barely mentions Iraq, Afghanistan. Just good ole Hillary and Obama with barely a whisper of McCain. Give me a break!
Ted @ 11:
Oh so clever you are. Let me ask you, why on Earth would big-bad-librul CNN treat the Hilary Was In the WH While Bill Cheated! as legitimate news if they were all of the aforementioned?
Wow. Two people shitting on the show in such short order. Amazing. The poor suckers who're the hosts though are probably confused since I bet money they just get their marching orders from on high and do it for the paycheck.
MSNBC and CNN "liberal"?
Are you kidding?
I suppose it's all relative. Shrub has move the ideological goal posts so far to the right that just about anything looks "liberal" next to him and his reich-wing cheerleaders, defenders and enablers in the media ...
Steve Douchey is a 'typical white' guy. Just look at him: limp-wristed, fey, weak, thin-lipped, stringy hair, humorless, eternally angry. Hey, I just described any fox anchor.
Frankly, I'd like to tear off their typical heads and shit in their typical necks...and when Obama takes power FauxNoise will be in our cross-hair. There's gonna be a lot of rightwing, talking heads looking for work in a couple of years.
ChrisM, Glen Beck is the exception.
Ted @ 11:
Chris Matthews.
Tim Russert.
Is it possible that something happened behind the scenes at Faux that got these guys mad enough to start going "off message"?
Hmmm....
Love the look on Killmeades face in the vidcap....looks like he's saying "Oops...sharted!"
I do not care the color of someone's skin, but I would prefer to know if canidates bleed red blood.
@ 18, I missed the words 'news network' when modifying CNN...makes the final part make more sense :)
To Brian Kilmeade - I wouldn't have taken the job in the first place. So no need to walk off.
And to the FOX chick, (what ever the FOX chick's name is), "Sweetheart, I wouldn't call you a typical women. I would call you a bitch."
Brian Kilmeade looked like a petulant pussy walking off the TV set like that. Cmon white boy; you're better than that. If you are gonna be an Obama apologist ya gotta stand your ground and show some balls. Even the blond bimbo on the show looked more manly than Kilmeade after his gay diva walk-off demonstration.
dennis @ 13:
And "Fox-bashing" is a bad thing because ...?
Remember, it's not a news outlet. It's not a journalistic enterprise. It's not "fair and balanced," and its anchors/reporters are shameless, no-talent shills. It is nothing more than a propaganda organ for the Republican Party. Period, case closed, end of story.
If you doubt any of that, watch Robert Greenwald's excellent documentary, "Outfoxed."
Ted @ 23:
Any network that would hire Glenn Beck, even if he was the "exception" is a network that is incredibly flawed, and certainly not liberal. Beck is a raving lunatic and unacceptable to watch for anyone with half a brain.
sundog, all the Faux chicks are the same. Perfect teeth and mostly submissive. As Ned Flanders once stated," This hotter then a Fox News weather skank!"
CATS AND DOGS MARRYING!
CHAOS EVERYWHERE!
ITS INSANITY!
and I LOVE it!
Check out some of the other things Kilmeade has said and done and draw your own conclutions.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/index.php?s=Brian+Kilmeade
i thought the way the camera followed him out and then fades back to the two main morons was way too slick and that it must have been staged. then i started figuring we are not far from Jerry Springer-ized 'news' in which Fox personalities break chairs over the head of libruls. i can see them calling out libruls pro-wrestling-style "he's afraid to come on my show and get an ass-whupping GRRRRRRR"
I'm wondering, is Keith Olberman as far left (in the tank for the Dems/Obama) as is Glen Beck far right (in the tank for GOP/McCain)?
Maybe this is tied to Fox's ratings? It can't be good for Fox, which represents the GOP, that Mr. 30% has damaged the GOP brand.
So these Fox guys may be worried about their futures, more than fairness.
Let's have an honest discussion of race? WTF.
Let's see the crackers on FOX take the black side of the debate for 2 hours.
maxson @ 5:
It's a ploy to make them look "Fair and Balanced" lol
I'm pretty sure it was a joke. He didn't walk off because of the Obama comments, it's because his idiot co-worker tried to make a crappy joke and he ran with it.
Let me guess, Kilmeade was met off stage by a bunch of men pointing weapons at him. That usually is the case with a state run media outlet like Fox News.
Ted Says:
I would agree, you can’t blame Obama. It’s the media’s fault for giving Obama a free pass without any true research and investigation of his past — until now when it’s too late and the Dems are already stuck with Obama for the November Pres. elections.
The Dems are stuck with Obama? WTF?
FOX is looking really stupid. All they do is dissect ever word Obama speaks and uses reverse racism. May this evil vile network is more than Kilmeade can stand. Sports is much more fun. Stay tune. May Hannity will get a soul.
i love the fact that even fox news is starting to show some responsibility and good judgement. maybe this will be the lead for the rest of network news, especially the smiling anchors, to grow a pair and also do what is right, what they should have done all along.
Ted @ 37:
No. Beck is a NUT.
Olberman is SANE.
Leslie, you hit the nail on the head. I think we are going to see a wave of blue this year. After Hassert stepped down and was replaced by a Democrat in a special election, the GOPs were probably wetting their pants. In PA it does't look good for the Repubs either.
What's going on in America Folks? The Blond lady with the yellow skin dress and ORANGE skin ... is Orange the new tan?
Looks like FOX is falling apart. Firings going on, Wallace speaking up, guys walking off the set. WOW, good stuff.
Jay Severin Has a Small Pen1s @ 39:
You must be from Boston...... unfortunately he is the only talk radio during evening drive time...... I miss Randy Rhodes and Air America here....
"There’s gonna be a lot of rightwing, talking heads looking for work in a couple of years."
There is always porn and prostitution
ChrisM70 @ 32:
"Look at that, I just proved my point."
Not quite, though you did prove everyone else's point. "everyone else's point" being, that Fox Noise anchors usually fail at listening and comprehending.
"Don't generalize a race."
"He was speaking in the context of a generation."
"What if I generalized a class of fans."
*#@(%!@$^*
"Great, now we can say more offensive things that miss the point, and he'll never know."
That brief overview is what I got out of the whole affair.
Kerry @ 49:
I thought that's what they were already doing.
Bangkok Bob, Maybe she's suffering from some mysterious ailment by breathing the same air as these baffoons!
Ted @ 37:
Big difference between the two -- aside from whatever party/candidates they support.
Olbermann is intelligent, rational, cogent, eloquent.
Beck is a raving, thick-headed moron with serious issues.
Ted @ 1:
You... really don't have a darned clue what this site is about, do you?
I wonder how they can even look at themselves in the mirror. Oh, thats right, there no reflection.
killthepoor @ 3:
They should call it SWEN XOF.
Gretchen Carlson is a former Miss America, and a no-talent hack.
What kind of ego vies for the title of "Miss America"??
She should have stuck to the violin.
Okay...I'm a white woman...and I've never seen two more typically typical white @$$/oles in my life.
The woman especially(where do they dig these Faux babes up anyway?) ..... seems to have no clue about what she's talking about. My experience has been that everyone who is on this "typical white person" bandwagon, has NOT listened to Obama's whole speech. I actually had a friend tell me that they couldn't because it was too long, (at 37 + minutes) for them to sit through.
Oh..and I'm officially over the "threw (whoever) under the bus" phrasology.
I am not Kilmeade fan....but it does appear that he may have had enough. Maybe he does have a conscience....sort of. I was glad to hear SOMEONE, even if it did have to be on FOX, mention that Obama is half white as well. This is something that seems to have gotten lost in the shouting, and it's not a small point. Obama is a dark skinned man, with an African Father,who has been raised by white people,(from one of the whitest states in the Union) and still has managed to be "labelled" as a Black Candidate. This makes the point of his speech perfectly, we are all ONE people who are chasing the wrong demons. It's not race....it's class....and the only color that matters is green.
Forge @ 55:
Forge, your not supposed to feed the troll.
As people over on Fark would say, "It's a trap!"
Forge @ 55:
Be careful your not allowed to criticize Sen. Obama here or the Trolls will be after you... lol
I think Steve and Gretchen have been huffing their hairspray.
Ted @ 11:
The answer to that would be...uh....it's coming...let me think a minute...well...no.
Ted @ 1:
Huh? Is this supposed to pass for serious thought and analysis?
That's almost as awesome as chuck norris.
P.D. @ 46:
The Democrats hurt Fox when they refused to appear on it. Faux and Unbalanced has been so successful at pushing the GOP propaganda, they've boxed themselves in. They have nowhere else to go now that Democrats are poised to take over the White House. And who's going to hire these people?
Hope he won't get fired! I'm just saying.
Fucking blond bitch. What an asshole!
"I thought that’s what they were already doing."
They just won't be doing it on cable tv or getting paid nearly as much. But you are correct, Faux is giving them plenty of experience.
Leslie, I hope the Dems do take over, just to watch these people implode. Limballs, Ingraham, Billo. The 109th congress did everything it could to keep the US Republican and it backfired, By politizing everything they pretty much screwed up everything.
good for you Brian Kilmeade. that idiot bastard and the blond c*nt are typical
fakenews pundits. as for the woman not wanting to be called a typical woman,
well why insult real women when this blond is a fucking whore for the reichwingneocons.
Gee. Suddenly in the middle of an election year, and for the first time ever, Fox tv spokes models out of the blue display a smidge of integrity and even a hint of fairness.
Just a little too conveeenient to be on the up and up.
They have attacked all things Clinton for a long time and NOW they get religion?
Kilmeade worships all things Bush. He mustve been on drugs that day.
chuck norris @ 66:
What so awsome about supporting huckabee?
Some one should tell the "good" minister, you're supposed to wait till the bees leave the hive to eat the honey.
Even Winnie the Poo knows that.
But not Homer the Simpson.
garcia @ 68:
Freudian slip?
Would it be an unfair generalization to suggest that that bubble-headed bleached blonde is a white bitch who should be thrown under a bus?
After November Fox "GOOD NIGHT AND DO LET THE BEDBUGS BITE " you all certainly deserve it.
robyn williams @ 62:
I fixed the parts where you made mistakes. Don't thank me, I'm just a fan of clarity.
I thought that Fox was the anti-gay channel. What's up with this Doocey guy?
this s a joke right ? he didn't actually walk off ?
I think Ted fled.
I am not trying to start anything here, but in my view the LAST thing we need is a liberal version of Fox News. What we need is a rational, objective, media that holds everyone to the fire. In other words, we do not need another network pandering to either party. In my view it is sad that we are at a stage where we think we have to fight fire with fire.
Fair AND balanced. We report...you decide. Red tie, stage right. Blue tie, stage left. Lemon tart, center stage.
FOXNews: typical white station.
I must have an evil streak in me. That's the only reason I can find for enjoying this so much. Was what happened here and the previous post about Wallace jerking their chain a setup? I have no idea but it sure was fun to watch. If they are all acting, they have a future on the stage after fox goes belly up.
ysbaddaden @ 74:
WTF??
Please. That piece and Chris Wallace "Taking them to task" was all staged in an effort to restore whatever credibility FAUX "News" had.
Margaret @ 87:
I don't think you can get back what you never had.
ZEROS... every last one of them.
The idea from Carlson that obama used his Grandmother to bash white people , is totally contrived and shows their desperation, with this on going campaign of attacking Obama . If they don't know it was bringing up the issue of retaining relationships , even though you don't like EVERYTHING a friend or relative says , they are either to dense or vile sycophants for the republican party .
As far as CNN or Fox lite , from 12 - 2 pm pst, here's a line up of stories , from the Speculation Room and Larry King .
a. Governor's Richard's "RESENTMENT " of the Clintons , for endorsing Obama . (FACT is B.R. said they are still friends and it was a tough decision . KING made it up .
b. Obama and Clinton " COZY" relationship with Wall Street . MORE speculation how this could hurt Dems . So Dems crime is being able to collect more contributions than MCSame .
C . Oh ya , we can't leave the several week old Rev. Wright story alone , they brought it ip AGAIN , with the same old tired question , " how will it hurt Obama " .
D . In another segment Abby the internet lady, yet had to bring up The You Tube video of Rev . Wright . and OBAMA , making sure they connect the two again .
E. Oh, John McSame , critical view of his misinformation overseas about Iran , NOPE . " He's overseas demonstrating his foreign affairs credentials . "
In 2 hours there were SEVERAL NEGATIVE stories about Obama & Clinton from Rev. Wright mentioned at least 5 times to the Dems " the party of Wall street " .
So the question is are impersonating Fox for Ratings or are they Favoring MCSame , is a blatant , shameless manipulation of the " news" .....OR BOTH . CNN can not be trusted !
Pissed off patricia, I agree. I relish this stuff. For so long I've been told how wrong I was by family members only to watch them shake their heads in dispair over what became of their darling Bush. Watching Faux implode is easy on my eyes.
this, and the chris wallace, thread makes one wonder if bizness man rupert murdoch has decided to cut his losses and start angling the faux noise network to be more viable in the post-bush years...
BoyWonder @ 86:
Exactly,
But shouldn't you say something like, "Holy Underwear!!!"
mike @ 84:
There I fixed it for you.
Ted @ 11:
Remember the patriotism poll about Obama posted on CNN's website on February 24? Liberal my ass, these people are RNC operatives.
pissed off patricia @ 88:
very good POP
The rats are leaving the sinking ship. The tide is turning, and they know it. There was a time when conservative "mini-me" phony-baloney "never had a real job in your goddamn life but you know what's what" bravado sold like hotcakes.
Why? Because Bill Clinton was getting hummers in the White House and there's a WHOLE LOTTA pinheaded twits out there who can't even get an HJ in an Arby's parking lot.
And the resented it, because they knew that THEY deserved hummers. How did they know this? Because Rush told them.
The only problem with this little Music Man parade is that, like a dog who finally catches a car, they managed to ride that wave straight into power. Straight into the White House, Congress and the courts. They got what they KNEW they always deserved: total power.
Except...except...except...
Except their ride to total power was predicated on the idea that a) government doesn't work b) opinion polls are to be ignored and c) keeping faith even when everything, including all available evidence, is against you is a VIRTUE and not a sign of ABJECT STUPIDITY.
So they have fallen into self-parody. They cluck and we laugh and they're not used to be laughed at or dismissed. They're used to being PERSECUTED, or so they think. They are used to standing brave in the face of obstinate, "librul" authority.
The image of these jackasses sitting on their fatasses and "patrolling" the border lest decent, hard-working, dedicated people come into this country to ruin everything is the perfect epitaph for the so-called "conservatives."
And they're no conservatives. Conservatives "conserve." As in, protect real things that actually exist.
The believe...they TRULY believe...that all you need is a lapel pin and the willingness to shout down anyone who disagrees with you and *poof* the perfect society will form up around you.
But now they see it...now they see that the war they sold us has gone very, very south and it will not be over soon. They see it, in the snickers and the laughter and the "you're now just a bunch of harmless idiots" derision they so justly receive from their peers. They see it in the absolute, irrefutable and final repudiation of every one of their beloved pet policies.
Armchair generals, they have been thrown into the midst of a REAL fight and they have shown themselves to be the "wimps" that they so gleefully mocked.
And now, you FAUX reporters, where will you turn? To whom will you appeal? Now that you are the meat on the table that you yourselves have so enthusiastically set? Now that YOU are the next lamb to be sacrificed?
Well, where will YOU turn? What remains of the profession you have profaned? What remains for you to clutch to as you sink beneath the waves of public ridicule?
So long, Fox. I imagine you'll be reinventing yourselves soon. I imagine an image consultant or a media spin doctor or some other corporate makeover artist will convince your bosses that the "liberal thing" is starting to be worth a little money and they will shamelessly whore you out to shill for the very things you CLAIM you despise.
And you'll do it. Because viagra, prostitutes, cocaine and hush payments add up every month, don't they?
So can it with the marching off the set thing. You don't have that kind of integrity and we all know it. Get over here, get on your knees, open your mouth and get ready for what's coming because you have no choice.
Do you?

Ted @ 1:
Once again, projection in Wring-Nutz utterances makes its presence felt. Replace "Obama" w/ "McCain" & "Dems" w/ "Rethugs" & you'll have an accurate picture of what's going on with the American Wrong-Wing.
It looked like it was a joke to me.
I'm surprised so many people here didn't get it.
Why do you all have so much hate in your hearts for these anchors anyway?
Some of the comments are a lot nastier than you would hear from even the more racist right-wingers.
breakspear Says:
"Steve Douchey is a ‘typical white’ guy. Just look at him: limp-wristed, fey, weak, thin-lipped, stringy hair, humorless, eternally angry. Hey, I just described any fox anchor."

Imagine the comments being turned around a bit.

Bugs Says:

Those types of comments would get a person banned so why are they allowed when talking about white people?
Kahoneez @ 90:
I love the push polling sort of captions on Fox News
"Did he take a cheap shot at Granny?"
Once upon the time the media were just sensational bottom feeders, but Fox News has devolved into creating the bottom.
Wow, is it really possible? Could people be waking up; are we watching this happen? First Wallace, now one of the Fox n' Friends?
Why is he walking off the set like he's gotta dildo up his ass?
it's the eeeeeeeend...
the eeeeeeeend....
of daaaaa wooooooorld!
the apocalypse is upon us!

Is a tangelo anything like a tanglo

I don't care if Fox News began pooping gold bricks. We must ignore them at all cost and let that whole debacle collapse on itself in one big dung heap. Let them eat each other like the vermin that they are. We must all turn our backs on them once and for all, and if they put up a fight, tell them were sending them to Iraq to dig swimming pools all summer.
As much as I want to revel in the twistings and turnings of the automatons on Fox"News" I can't help but remember the Rove edict earlier this year about not calling Obama "Hussein".
Suspicious I have become...
My theory... This is the fallout of the bedbug infestation....
Just a theory
I Am A Banana @ 107:
or are they taking the high road in a cynical attempt to show Fox has integrity...I am skeptical...very skeptical, that there are any voices of reason or conscience at Fox...if there were, Billo would have been 1) Fired, and 2) Commited with the help of Fox management.
I think this is a case of "Strangers bearing candy and gifts".
Funny the medias love of Obbama...
They hate her so much they will put him in the news cycle when he isn't even the news story...
This was made for TV syco/propganda.
A MADE FOR TV MOMENT.
Gorilla Corperate Media.
Welcome to Faux Friends, please leave your logic at the door.
Carlson makes a big deal out of the "generalizing" based on the "typical white" comment and argues for just sticking to the specifics, but then immediately afterward has no problem with the generalization about it being a "generational" thing.
Mental decompensation in front of god and everybody.
For a news channel in which everything is so calculated and so in line with the marching orders of Ailes/Murdoch etc. it seems awfully bizarre to see something like this twice in one day. They obviously have something up their sleeves.
Verdillac @ 114:
Interesting thought. You may be right. I was perhaps feeling too optimistic.
I Am A Banana @ 118:
never stop being optimistic...optimism leads to hope...hope leads to faith...faith leads to action...action leads to realization of optimism,hope and faith.
realization instills optimism in those whom you lead by example.

I will take your words to heart then.
will fox simply convert to democrat if the administration is democrat? or is it staged for show. just don't trust much these days.

I smell something and it sure as hell isn't 'integrity'.
What's with all the C&L hating on morons for? What did morons ever do to you that you feel the need to compare them with degenerates like those on Fox? Britney Spears is a moron. Richard Hatch, the goofball on "Survivor" who won a million dollars in front of a national audience then didn't pay his taxes, he is a moron.
These guys on Fox are political hacks who couldn't make it in any other game so in order to stay on TV they buy into whatever line is required and will fight for that party line tooth and nail, reality be damned. Much more dangerous than regular morons.
MargeAggedon @ 123:
I'd bet a box of doughnuts (which is a huge gambit for me [because me love doughnuts]) that the walk-off was staged, as was Mr Wallace's comments...
these two events are about as believable to me as a box of organic Twinkies.
So this is what it takes for C&L to call him by name, instead of "brown-haired guy who's not Steve Doocy".
I agree with the other posters that thing that this thing might be a little staged. They're just trying out a different tactic. That dog won't hunt either.
Staged event ......staged event. Trying to make Fox look like it is more receptive to the Democrats.Especially King Obama.
Verdillac @ 124:
Wait. Twinkies aren't organic?
greg @ 56:
ROFLMAO! That explains a lot about the people who continue to support the worst president ever.
ChrisM, Glen Beck is the exception.
You're trolling right Ted?
CNN:
Glenn Beck
Wolf Blitzer
qualify...THEN we have the independent/right leaning Lou Dobbs plus talking heads such as Rick Sanchez and some who use nothing but rightie talkers (and give them passes on the air).
MSNBC:
Scarborough
Carlson (show is gone, but he is not)
That chick talking head who gets argumentative when somebody on the left questions her
Matthews isn't a con BUT he comes close sometimes PLUS he's fawned over Bush for years.
Sorry bud, both networks are owned by corporations who aren't very LIBERAL in their viewpoints. CNN is owned by the conservative leaning Time Warner and MSNBC is mostly owned by GE.
If you want to obfuscate the point, be my guest but please get your points correct.

What a bunch of blooming idiots!!!! You obviously don't watch Fox & Friends as I do. Brian only walked out until after the commercial. I know I watched it.
By the way, go ahead and try to knock out F&F and go the way of Air America. It's ratings that count you idiots not money.
Oh and Ted...because you need everything broken down by left/right (I am a proud independent who supports the best ideas regardless of party...right now the best ideas are NOT on the right) why do you have to denigrate a man of Olbermann's character? Keith is fair to both sides of the coin and has and will attack lefties as well as righties.
Hmmmm....let's see....Glenn Beck pretends to be "independent" yet goes on shows saying he's non-partisan before spending ALL of his time questioning anybody to the left of him. HE NEVER spends that much time on the righties who lie, cheat and b.s. the American public.
Olbermann goes after righties who say dumb things like O'Reilly. In the end, he's attacked the left when they falter. HE thinks and it shows in his commentary. I see a guy like BillO, Beck or Hannity and all I hear is hate and vitriol.
I used to be a Republican but got tired of everything being framed as "Liberal=bad". I got tired of being told if I don't support a dumb war I must be with the terrorists. Argh...love how you guys want to frame everything like that. It's really quite childish.
GOOD FOR YOU KILMEADE!
I am No fan of Fox/Kilmeade/Wingnuts etc... but I don't think this was staged, and I think when he was talking about the speech he 'got it'. He seemed to understand that Obama was making a larger point, and that the general Fox nitpicking required wilfully missing that point.
Good for him, and good for Obama - maybe he IS getting through to some of the right wingers? Maybe they do love their country more than the criminals who've been running it for the last 7 years?
By the way, go ahead and try to knock out F&F and go the way of Air America. It’s ratings that count you idiots not money.
Two things...who's an idiot here? The only idiots I see are people calling OTHERS idiots.
Second, did you know that Fox ratings are falling? Just checking...ratings do matter and losing viewership (while still being #1) is NOT good in the end.
Yeah, he wasn't really walking off as much as he seemed to be doing "a bit."
"How dare you call me a sports guy...ha,ha...I'm outta here." That was probably the sentiment.
The Wallace fotage was better.
I can't get either videos to play

At first I was thinking orange, but I decided to risk it with tangelo. Who drinks Sanka nowadays?
Kilmeade is toast. He's obviously an Obama-lover. There's no room for that on Faux.
I'm thinkin these asswipes are reading the writing on the walls.And will soon be out of jobs anyway,so this is just a ploy to try to make themselves look better with hopes of finding another job.

Please don't feed the troll...

He'd be better off. There might even be time for him to save his soul after all the damage he has done on that crap channel and that crap show.
Ted @ 11:
you are so lucky that c&l doesnt ban trolls the way redstate does
msnbc and cnn liberal????? dont make me laff
StirFry @ 141:
this entire episode is bs
cnn, faux and other news services are cherry picking obama quotes
i cant wait till he becomes prez and then signs his first executive order making being a redneck racist a capital offense
Anyone get the idea that this is choreographed?
Kilmeade didn't walk off over the Obama-bashing. He sat tight until the male Coulter-clone implied he was just another dumb sports guy (which he is). Then he got huffy and walked. He's just as wingnutty as the other two, but thin-skinned about being a sporty. A lot of the sporties are like that; immature babies who never played the game.
The gem of the day was watching all 3 of them squirm when Chris Wallace had an involuntary truth spasm and dissed their coverage on air.
Overall the show looked like a pack of underfed weasels turning on one another left and right, or should I say right and righter.
