Have you ever heard anyone use the word "redskins" in any manner OTHER than when referring to the NFL team?

Let alone as a pejorative.

As a half-Mexican, I am offended by the term "Hispanic". It lumps people of various distinct cultures together into one but that doesn't stop the bleeding hearts from using it.

I don’t know if anyone noticed on Special Report that their electronic voting only recorded INTENSITY of voting not the usual voting on what each were actually saying.

The only reason I can think of the panel and moderator knows ahead of time what the subject will be and decided it may be shedding a bad light on what each were saying as they spoke.

Krauthammer probably insisted on it.

You and me both. When Brit Hume went after Gingrich so hard during the election and lied too, I saw things quite clearly and right now on Fox all I hear is how Cruz took the focus off the horrible Obamacare launch in the news. Rush Limbaugh said today we could still win this if the Republicans in the Senate vote right. Trump slammed the establishment republicans on Fox today who were attacking those who want to make a difference. He also slammed the media quoting the bogus polls saying the Republicans are to blame. Fox is getting worse and worse. What a shame.

My initial reaction was like many here but I listened to what he said a 2nd time and it sure sounded like he was attacking the tea party in the first part of his commentary but then gave a very good list of reasons for the actions of the Tea Party.

He sure did NOT agree that all the “Progressive” actions of the Federal Government have been good and in fact he really went after the “Entitlement” mentality and the bloated government. You know, sort of what what we are supposed to stand for.

I know there a many here who have a knee jerk reaction towards FOX if they even disagree on one issue but I think Brit was spot on.

Pretty amazing that George Will sounds more conservative than Kraut these days.

Have you ever heard anyone use the word "redskins" in any manner OTHER than when referring to the NFL team?...exactly right, and exactly the point someone should have made to Krauthammer when he was going on and on about "words taking on new meanings" - Redskins has taken on the meaning of the name of a football team in Washington, and certainly has no pejorative meaning in the minds of the vast majority of those who use it - and what's all the yapping about how offensive it is to refer to people by reference to the color of their skin - blacks might disagree.......

I get irate whenever I hear any of the pundits acting like the Tea Party is stupid/evil and I was angry at Brit tonight. Haven’t been watching TV at all for months, because I’ve noticed this left drift. Fox just seems to keep saying we can’t ever restore our nation to a sensible stage, or get back to the Constitutional principles that have sustained us this far. They may be right, but sounding like losers is never a way to win a battle.

This board has reached such a frenzy folks are lashing out at phantoms. I heard nothing in Hume’s analysis that seemed out of line.

Upon watching it a second time, I see what you're saying.

Hume isn't calling Cruz's efforts "reckless and doomed", he's just saying Cruz and Tea Partiers don't care if their efforts are viewed by spineless, weak-kneed Republicans or ruling class elites in the media like himself view them as such.

Maybe it was his tone and his facial expressions that made me want to pee on him.

I agree with you about Fox. Too bad we don’t have a FREE REPUBLIC TV station. Greta is the only host who is consistent in going after the truth. I enjoy Judge Jeanine too. She can be a hoot at times.

You didn't find his tone condescending or derisive?

Maybe that's just the way he talks.

Hume is saying what roger ailes wants him to say... no more... no less. He is not a trustworthy source. Sad because I really used to like him quite a lot... but he is not the man he played on Fox when his wife was News Director.

Hume has been in with the establishment elite for a long time. You won’t find any “bold” there.
It is no surprise he’s a member of the white flag surrender caucus.

People need to listen to the whole statement by Hume. The opening states the view that this is a hopeless mission (RINO view). But then Hume states the Tea Party perspective on out of control spending quite well. I don’t expect journalists / analysts to sound like either liberal or conservative hacks. I just want them to state the facts and perspectives out there without spin and lying. Hume just stated the RINO and Tea Party perspectives.
