Shepard Smith's assault on Conservatives
I'm sure many of my readers were tuned into Fox News this afternoon between 2:30pm-4:00PM
I was stunned at the misguided comments of Shepard Smith regarding the Holocaust Museum shooting.
Smith was attempting to make a profound correlation between the shooting suspect James Von Brunn and those who publish websites that criticize Barack Obama.
One could say that this is subjective and Smith's accusations were really directed at people who are anti-semitic or calling for assassinations. However, Smith removed any benefit of a doubt we could have afforded him when he pointed at..."

Did Shep’s boyfriend dump him or something?
Louisiana?
Shep has his “panties” in a twist because of Rush Limbaugh’s remark about Obama’s lack of a birth certificate. (Something about God and Obama not having a birth certificate)
Rush must of HIT a raw nerve....YIPPEEEE! Keep it up Rush!!!!
Let's all just stop watching "The Fox Report" and watch CNN instead. That way when his ratings drop, Murdoch will can him. Murdoch couldn't care less about what Shep says, so long as he rakes in the cash. Murdoch apparently hates O'Reilly, but he is a moneymaker.
Shepard Smith is Fox News’ token A-hole.
You’re at the wrong website, fella. Zot!
Or Beck could go in the 7PM slot....
He gets brutal when he goes off-teleprompter.
I have heard Olbermann say that. Who else has reported this?
Both he and Shep are vulnerable to Beck getting in there somehow in the 7 PM slot. I think it can be done. At least we can hope.
Thanks for reminding me of the correct present lineup.

“How he connected the anti-Semite who shot things up with conservatives who want to see a birth certificate is unbelievable. I think FOX nees to hear from all of us on this one.”
******************
Yes, I agree. And why didn’t he mention the “FACT” that Obama won’t release his health or college records either?
Hey Shep....it’s not just about him lying about his birth certificate....it’s about him lying about “most” of his past!!!!!!!!!!
How shall we say it? Shep is just a tad light in the loafers.

“Just think, Glenn Beck could move up one whole (better) time slot if Smith was dropped down to the 5 PM Eastern (too early) hour that Beck is saddled with.
This is not beyond the realm of possibility if we let Fox (or Ailes) know how we feel.”
As I wrote in this column at http://www.OurHussein.com, “I remember years ago when Paula Zahn was fired from the 10:00PM slot now occupied by Greta Van Susteren. Roger Ailes was quoted as saying that despite her respectable ratings - “a dead racoon” could have gotten those ratings. I would have to say the same for Smith at this point. I rarely get to see Glenn Beck because his show is usually over by the time I get home; but I would venture to guess that Beck would clean Smith’s proverbial clock if he occupied that time slot.”
Here is the e-mail I sent to Fox:
“Well, according to Shepard Smith, the resident drama queen at Fox News, I am one of the crazies out there who are still waiting to see Obama produce the vault copy of his birth certificate. The truth is that this particular controversy will not go away until this particular form of documentation is produced. It is disconcerting to see a journalist denigrate a minority point of view on cable television, especially one that brands itself as fair and balanced.”
“Fox would be far better off putting Glen Beck in that 7 PM time slot leading up to OReilly. Im betting it would increase OReillys lead in audience by a million plus.”
IMO Beck is much more interesting. I think O’reilly may feel threatened by Beck - and he should.
Heartwarming how you defend freedom of speech - until somebody has the guts to tell the truth !
For what it’s worth, I’ve been a conservative for only a short time : 60 years or so - so I might not know all the new rules of your version.
How’s it go now ? Left step-right step- double to the rear duckwalk ?? Are we supposed to quack on the right foot or the left ???
Oops ! Almost forgot :
He should have been fired over dropping the “F” word on air, cable or no....
