Fox News star sides with Obama on gun violence

Even as others in the media – including liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes – decried President Obama for telling a Paris-based climate-change audience mass shootings only happen in America, one Fox News talking head came out in support of that White House mantra, saying only national television, post-San Bernardino massacre: this is unique to our country.

Sheppard Smith said, of the mass shooting that left 14 dead and 17 injured, Obama was quite right in calling for gun control.

Yesterday, as all of this was unfolding, I had to turn Shep off.....he got ridiculous and very redundant.

You would think that he of all people in the media would grasp the dangers of the mooslime hordes.

After all, it is the Islamonazis that are playing Skyscraper Splat with his fellow bath house boys.

....just sayin’

Feel the love ...right Shep?

:-)

According to the article cited, Shepard Smith's own words were as follows: "[Obama] got a lot of partisan pushback on that from his political opponents, but the fact of the matter is, among developed nations, that's the truth. These sorts of mass shooting with the regularity of where they occur in the United States, you don't find that in other countries. . . . You can extrapolate what you want."

And he concluded:

"I can report to you with certainty that it happens more here than anywhere else in the world."

I really do not find these words objectionable.

What I would prefer to "extrapolate" from it is this: The US is a rather violent country, when compared with many other countries. In some ways, that is actually a good thing, since it speaks to our independence of spirit, and our strong desire not to be dominated by the government.

However, whenever a mass shooting happens--well, that is certainly not a good thing...

Doesn’t shemp realize that if sharia gets a foothold in this country they’ll throw his type off of a tall building in NYC?

Homos like Shep and Barky tend to stick together.

What? Obama’s butt boy, Sheppie, agrees with Obama, say it ain’t so! As Sheppie would say, “another American Event”.

He needs to move over to CNN or MSNBC.

Just like Alyson Camerota, another pathetic liberal who thinks they are beneath working for a real news organization.

LOL! But, I did find a piece from the Daily Mail I just posted about marky zuckerberg and his wife and their new foundation. Maybe that would be “real news” reporting. Sounds like the reporter has just a little contempt for the suckerburgs.

There are some tools at Fox no doubt (it’s part of their “fair and balanced” mantra) but I sure was glad to see Alan Colmes get the boot. I think he was too smug even for Fox.

He has a total lack of knowledge as a basis of his views.
I wished he would shut up and just read the news! Has he been “ outed” yet?

Mr. Murdock, time to get rid of Shep. He is making your network (and, by implication, you) look really stupid.

Farook, Farouq, whatever was a natural born citizen, no legal trouble(reported).
How would increased background checks have prevented his getting a rifle or two?

Oh, how about this disqualifier, Muslim? sorry.

Bet Il Douche won’t agree with that one.

What’s Fox News? Who’s Shepperd Smith?

Earlier today, I saw here that the brilliant Geraldo Rivera had tweeted that the 2nd Amendment it “stupid:.

Shemp is a liberal moron and is part of the reason I haven’t watched Fakx News in years.

I seldom watch Faux News any more, and I never watch Shep. I remember the time he was doing some story on J-Lo and accidentally pronounced something as "blow-job". He meant to say something else, but his Freudian slip was showing.

I doubt these Muzzies even bought their weapons. They were probably provided by other Jihadis who have weapon caches.

Of course we still haven’t had the info shared as to what the weapons actually were have we? Semi? Full? Limited to 10 rd magazines with the cali obligated push pin releast to slow change out time?
