Kirsten Powers and other panelists on the FOX News program “Outnumbered” were discussing Obama’s newly discovered concern for Christians in the middle east and things got a little heated.
Powers, who is a liberal and frequent defender of Obama, was one of the most vocal critics.
Tim Cavanaugh of National Review has the details:
…Kirsten Powers, usually the most liberal of the panelists, tore the president a new one:
“He has not uttered the word ‘Christian,’ and now suddenly he throws it in with the Yazidis,” Powers said. “We’re not doing any airdrops to the Christians, who are refugees in the Kurdish region. [Virginia Congressman Frank] Wolf has taken to the floor, I think, seven days in a row now, pleading with the administration: Please help these people. They need humanitarian aid; they need drinking water. They have nothing. They’ve lost their homes; they’ve lost everything.
The White House has done nothing; they’ve said nothing. And then the president goes on and goes into quite a lot of detail about the Yazidis, and never really gets into the specifics about Christians. I mean, it’s really unbelievable, and he has no right to invoke humantiarianism, because he is not a humanitarian president. A humanitarian president does not sit quietly by, while hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq [are uprooted or killed]– forget about the rest of the Middle East — and doesn’t say a word.”
Here’s the video (jump ahead to 2:00 for her comments):
I’ve never understood how Christians around the world can be so blasé about the murder of their fellow Christians by jihadis. Any other religion would be up in arms-literally.
No, her husband is a doctor who is a coptic Egyptian, which is a Christian:

If Power’s is taking IQ Pills, she needs to check her dosages. She is still regularly getting bad batches.
Yes, FOX really loaded themselves up with token liberals. Can’t stand to listen to the leftist insanity they spew out along with the Obama apologies and spin.
I still grope to see how this is “fair and balanced”.
First thing I noticed. Couldn’t have him actually claim to help just Christians. He had to justify it by lumping them in with some religion no one ever heard of.
Wow!!!
I usually switch channels when she is on so I missed this.

Can’t stand the obnoxious dingbat, and couldn’t care less what supposed light the self-supposed deep thinker supposedly saw.
See #42.
If the Christians were on the mountain top, the Obama Administration would have launched air strikes against them.
You would think the Hobby Lobby, Chic-folet and Homosexual agenda would give her a hint?

This is what they do send it to a friend, graphic, the American public needs to know who we are dealing with
They have a balance of both barking moonbats AND conservatives. Fair and balanced within their own confines. I guess they utilize obvious liberals to expose all of the other networks for being solely RATagandist.
Personally, I'd just as soon they were fair, using only conservative bias, and thus PROVIDED balance to the steady diet of Communist talking points coming from everywhere else.
Their motto could be:
"We are Equal Time."
We will not hear Obama say the word “Christian” when referring to these stranded people because he resents them and he doesn’t care that those on the mountain are Christian. He is being forced to act and protect these people and it’s probably causing him some indigestion, as well as his godless pals. Can anyone besides those who follow this stuff understand what is going on? The Great OZ has spoken.
Levin was right on target yesterday (Fri Aug 8) when he said we’ve had enough. Christians, Jews, Buddists, Hindus and even level headed Muslims need to unite to counter the destruction of our great nation.
