Shepherd Smith Hammers Eric Holder for Claim Times Square Attack was "Thwarted" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | May 4, 2010 | Brian

Here is video of Fox News' Shepherd Smith this afternoon blasting Attorney General Eric Holder for claiming the Times Square Car Bomb attack was "thwarted."

"That's not true. That's not true according to the facts as given to us by the Feds. This bomb was not 'thwarted.' This bomb failed."

"Now I can think of a lot of different reasons they would want this. For instance, down the road, the next time something happens, they can say,'We thwarted Christmas Day and we thwarted Times Square.' But that wouldn't be the case. And part of our job, I think, is to not allow revisionist history to take over . . . "

Good for Shepherd Smith! Shepherd Smith was persistent even after he got an on-air response from Holder's office that tried to explain away his "thwarted" statement. Smith played Holder's words again and pointed out the fact he had clearly claimed the attack was "thwarted."

Because it all happened 2 blocks from him, Shep was concerned about the Time Square bomb... typical narcissist...all about him.

Trust me on this. It was a relatively small bomb. The bad thing was it was in a confined space. At best it would of been a small fireball with a medium shock wave. Bad yes, OK city no f’in way.

If they ever get a nuke or dirty bomb, these terrorist will use it without hesitation for maximum effect... right in the heart of liberal New York City.

I have to admit that Savage wakes up a side of my brain that others fail to. [I grudgingly admit that because he really ticked me off now and then.]

I don't know if you've ever been in Times Square on a nice night in the city when the shows are letting out. You can barely move for the people.

Found this on a blog. Now this is obviously a chilly day; imagine it on the one of the first warm evenings of the year. For those unfamiliar with NYC, one of the most amazing things about it is that it truly "never sleeps" - there are more people on the street at midnight than at noon.

Holder was having a brain thwart

Shouldn't that read:Holder was having a brain fart.

Holder is a classic example of affirmative action at work (IMNSHO)
