VIDEO: FOX TV HOST SAYS DISSENTERS SHOULD BE TASED, "BEATEN TO A PULP"
During a discussion about a Code Pink member heckling Hillary Clinton at a recent event, Fox News host Brian Kilmead said that people who confront politicians are "threatening" and should be tased or "beaten to a pulp," as the establishment media continues to sell the idea that anyone who disagrees with authority should be brutally punished.

A segment on the Fox and Friends morning show yesterday turned into an opportunity for Kilmead to share his dictatorial fetish that dissenters be dealt with in the proper manner, as footage aired of Clinton's heckler being removed from the event by security.

“They should Tase this guy,” Kilmead says. “At one point with security so high and tensions on edge, don’t you think they’re going to get at the very least tased or beaten to a pulp by somebody? These people look threatening.”

1. Fox and Friends should be tased and beaten to a pulp THEN
waterboarded and pull out fingernails then stripped naked and tied down to stakes in the middle of a red ant hill! (with a splash of honey)

:applause:

2. Wasn't there a moment during the '72 election when McGovern invited a heckler to the stage?
Let him speak for a couple minutes, too, I believe.

The times, they have a-changed.

9. Edmund Muskie did that a lot in the 1972 primaries.
He also did it when he was Hubert Humphrey's VP pick. It was a great way of embarrassing the heckler without coming across as a jackass, because hecklers seldom have anything substantial to say once you stick a microphone in their face.

It wouldn't surprise me if McGovern borrowed this tactic.

16. Remember how Bill Clinton waded into adoring crowds
Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 09:50 AM by tblue37
everywhere he went? Here is a picture of him in Vietnam. I remember similar pictures of him getting close to fans in countries all over the world--and in the US.



Bush's big black car convoys with tinted windows look like the trappings of a dictator who fears his people because he knows how much they hate him.

22. no kidding
My wife is planning a trip to Malawi (in Africa) this coming summer to help start a school at a new orphanage. As part of her preparation, she's been doing a lot of research on Malawi. She has a number of pictures of Clinton wading through those adoring crowds you mention. :hi:

Here is the one that stands out most in my mind:

4. "Okay, kids. Constitution 101 class is about to begin"
"In your seats, kids. Kilmead, shut your yap or I will tase you."

Kilmeade made an F in the class. Fortunately for him, the class wasn't required for graduation from journalism school.

5. He said this about a Hillary heckler?
I would have thought he'd say "The bitch deserves it-go after her!!!"

Fox and Friends is watched by morons. As for their worship of authority (which is true), it's only when THEY'RE in authority that they're satisfied. When Clinton was in the WH they were the first to whine about how muzzled and persecuted the conservative view was by the government, media and, of course, the ACLU.

As usual, they're wrong.

7. Isn't it funny how...
these people always like to call us bush haters and act as though they don't know what and why we hate them and their damn lies. They now try to pretend as though we all have forgotten what they did and said about any one who said anything against their president or his war. They say we should follow their leader. Who are they trying to convince? I suspect the people who are now waking up to there dirty deeds and don't know what a majority us who have been talking about for years. They started it and frightened anyone into speaking up and now everything is out of control. Kilmead is an asshole I can hardly stand to look at him he always seems to jump on any band wagon and goes along to get along. Someone needs to kick his ass! Freedom of speech for who? They seem to only think for rightwing assholes like themselves.

10. Someone needs to remind Faux News of how things worked in the Soviet Union
And in Communist China, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.

13. Is this the same bunch of freaks that announced that Apple had acquired
some company. Then they corrected it on screen, saying it was bought by Abu Dubai... .. it's Abu Dhabi. So, from Apple to Abu Dhabi. This is a news channel?

15. Fascists.
I wonder why the lesson of Rwanda can't be understood. The Hutu radio hosts whipped their listeners into a frenzy and encouraged them to kill Tsutsis. Nearly a million Tsutsis were murdered.

After Tomothy McVeigh pulled his little stunt in Oklahoma, there was a brief moment when people looked at the RW mouthpieces like Rush and recognized that their propaganda was dangerous when nutcases like McVeigh decided to act on it, but that moment passed quickly, and now the incitement to violence is even worse than it was then. Ann Coulter openly encourages the murder of Supreme Court justices and others she disapprove of, yet it's all "just a little joke." Yet if a 12-year-old draws a picture that shows Bush in some unflattering light, he gets a visit from the approriately initialed SS.

18. Who is scarier, someone that stands up and speaks out against fascism or someone that promotes
"beating someone to a pulp". This is a scary precedent. Every day is a step closer to a fascist state.

19. Everyone at Faux News
needs to read the US Constitution and not let out untiil they pass a test on it. I think we should saturate their mail with copies of it, and paste it all over the building. Hello!!!! Got US history yet?

20. Maybe, one day he could be imprisoned (hard time, as befits the violent) for incitement to violence.
