Shep Smith on First Responders "How do they sleep at night?"

Shephard is really warming up to me.
Yogisays...

I thought from the title that he was saying something like "How do those first responders sleep at night? Demanding health care those bastards!" Which honestly would've made this video more funny...I'm just glad that someone else is talking about this.

Januarisays...

I do love how they keep referring to it as 'congress' who didn't pass it... no reference what so ever to the top republicans who filibustered the bill... it was 'congress' all of it...

Right... I mean he isn't wrong... but it's still pretty clear who signs his checks....

I can think of no better issue to march on Washington over.

Yes the Republicans are morally bankrupt and frankly evil individuals for their behavior here but unless the outraged American population stands up and demands in every way they can that this health care bill is passed, then each American who chooses to spend their holiday in leisure and comfort should feel as an accomplice to this crime.

Just to restate it bluntly: If you have a holiday vacation coming up and you do not attempt to use that time to put pressure on these corrupt politicians to pass this bill, you are just as evil as these Republicans.

Happy holidays.

WOW! I can't believe this was on FOX news!


Shep is a good person. I remember when I started to like him. It was right after he got back from a field reporting for the most recent Hezbollah/Israel conflict. He got back, and the latest story on the headlines was Mel Gibson doing his first Jew bashing thing. As the shot was fading away for a commercial, he muttered as an aide something to this effect. "There is a war on, people are dying, and we are talking about Mel Gibson". It was a striking moment of caring and candor which will forevermore crystallize in my brain that he is a good and decent man. Let me see if I can dig up that clip.

Also, the bits where he drops the fbomb on torture is worth a gander.

I would love to see that video. Please share it with me if you find it. And btw, the fbomb video you shared with me was priceless. I'm beginning to like Shep myself

"What the Socialist Dems don’t want you to know is the fact that this bill sets up a huge new entitlement program that would be paid for by higher taxes on all of us. That means it will hurt businesses and working folks. The Dems could have paid for the bill by other fiscally responsible means, but they chose not to, instead filling it full of pork, including medical for illegal aliens. They would rather tax you and me and try to make cheap political points than do the responsible thing for the country. So, who is really against the 911 responders. the party that proposes a fiscally responsible and effective method, or the party that grandstands on a contrived, fiscally irresponsible Bill that hurts more than it helps? This is just another lame attempt by the Socialists to set up another entitlement program at the nations expense, knowing the GOP would oppose it, thus giving Dems another opportunity to demonize them..."

See you kinda have to provide proof for the things you say...because just saying them doesn't work. Or have you never taken a science class?

Januarisays...

But it was in quotations!... how can you possibly doubt it!

I for one will be giving qm the benefit and just assume that the source was an all knowing and wise individual who would would only give the most honest and unbiased of statements.

^The day quantum mushroom requires proof for something he believes is the day he renounces fealty to the Republican party.

quantumushroomsays...

Can't draw it in flowchart form, but it goes something like this.

Non-liberalsift-approved opinion presented---------->"That's just some quote with no facts"---------->(After facts are given)---------->"Those are from a biased web source" (after same facts confirmed at "non-biased"aka left-wing source) ---------->"It doesn't matter because this is just Democrats cleaning up a mess Republicans caused."---------->(after presenting Barney Frank-level evidence and historical precedents for the next failed government program)---------->"It's all Bush's fault."

Well, at least The Kenyan has another book out. He should stick to authoring door-stops the way Carter should've kept to peanut farming.

HugeJerksays...

Here you go... http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-847

Show us where it creates a "huge new entitlement program" that would "be paid for in higher taxes on all of us".

As far as I can tell, it closes a loophole in the 1986 tax-code that let foreign multinational companies run their revenue through a 3rd-party country where a "treaty deduction" was allowed just to lessen their US tax debt. It even has a spending cap so it won't be an ongoing "entitlement".

Speaking of creation science class I had the toob while I was on the computer and the 700 club came on and they showed a 'scientist' that wasn't hired by some university and the dumbasses on the show were all 'They are anti-religion in science' again, typical. But it drew my attention and it was then I saw that he was a Creationist who was trying to get a job at the university for some position dealing with Biology.

Got a fantastic laugh out of it all. A creationist Biologist.. to funny.

NetRunnersays...

Fox is so awesome at this stuff. Expressions of outrage, outrage! That "congress" didn't take care of this.

The vote on the first responders bill? 58 Democrats for, 42 Republicans against, with Harry Reid changing his vote to "Nay" at the last minute just so he would be able to file cloture on it again.

If only Republicans would let it come to an up or down vote, it would pass. But instead they unanimously voted to filibuster it.

I suppose the memo on this topic to Fox "journalists" is that they're forbidden to use the word "Republican" when talking about it, even though they're the only reason it failed.

Entropy001says...

Wow. I was going to post something about Fox being a news source not worthy of referencing, but Smith had me when he actually said that the rich don't need a tax cut.

I can't believe that this stuff is on Fox! Wow!

Ralghasays...

C'mon Shep, spare us the acting. It's just accepted as common knowledge now that there's no length to which Republican politicians will not go to tarnish themselves and their party and generally do evil. Nothing to get excited about here. Move along.

If it's any solace, we know who'll be first against the wall. And may their friends across the aisle be second.
