As I watched Tuesday while the anchors on Fox & Friends leveled unsubstantiated charges against Rep. Elijah Cummings as if they were facts, I couldnt help thinking how much more dangerous Sen. Joe McCarthy might have been in the 1950s if there had been a show like this to amplify his reckless allegations.
The Fox News morning show was playing one of cable talks dirtier games, and the longtime Democratic congressman from Baltimore was its target for his role in the House IRS probe. The lightweight, smiley morning crew Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were saying things no responsible anchors would. They were the kind of things that could seriously damage the reputation of an ideological foe.

No surprise here...Democrats never turn on other democrats.
There is no such word as DINO in democrat vocabulary.
........hard at work....defending their right to be tyrants
SSShhhhhhhhh...
We should not be confusing them with facts.
It's an art form.
It's an art form.
Is it just me, or should there have been a barf alert attached to this sob story about poor ol’ Elijah gettin’ mistreated by FNC? I wish I’d seen that. I didn’t know FNC had anyone with the stones to mistreat ANY democRAT.
After just four days of reporting and fact-checking the story, I dont pretend to know all the facts. Overall, I am in no position to say whether Cummings behaved ethically.
But I do know there is no evidence that has been produced at this point for the accusations leveled against him as fact on Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning. I also know there was evidence available to Fox & Friends that Cummings staff could not have flagged True The Vote for the IRS.
He and the Democrat party are just smarting ( hurting ) from being caught with their hand in the cookie jar, that’s all this is.... Elijah getting caught being one of those individuals who had a part in going after conservative group with the IRS.
You now know just how far our country has fallen after reading this. One does hardly know where to start the criticism. Here’s the reason why this country will fail because “the people” like this idiot now approximate the majority & a nation is only as good or bad as its people.
If the internet had existed then, maybe the truth
would have gotten out and we wouldn’t be in the
mess we are today.
Joe was vindicated by Vernona.
There is also no evidence that has been produced at this point that shows that President Bush lied about WMD. Yet that hasn't stopped Zurawik from insisting for a decade now that Bush lied. Ah, the Double-Standard of the Self-Anointed rears its ugly head once again.
bfl
Think pelosi’s unsubstantiated charges against all republicans that they want the poor to remain poor, and who would be for amnesty if it were for “the Irish,” or Reid and his “domestic terrorists.”
Hard to feel sorry for Cummings, whose corruption has been on display for some time now.
yep , any lying scum will do .....
I stopped reading at the part that said “Baltimore Sun.”
” actually shows is Cummings staffers asking for publicly available information on True The Vote. That would be information available to anyone.
And the emails from the IRS show that executives there triple-checked to make sure only such information was included.”
Is this true? Still, even if publicly available, he still could have been pointing the finger!
