I watched Fox&Friends this morning. You're welcome.

I clicked over to Fox the behold their gun-gasm. They love them anything about guns.

It was nothing but the shooting yesterday. They interrupted their reports on the shooting with UPDATE!s and FOX NEWS ALERT!s ... about the shooting.

There was a fill-in blonde in the couch.
The field reporter blonde held up a Chattanooga paper pointing out 2 pictures of people praying.

This mass shooter's name was Mohhamed. They mentioned it often.


There was no mention of what weapons the shooter had only the weapons the Marines didn't have. They were in full ARM THE TROOPS mode. They even had "experts" on to add voices to the choir. Clearly they are blowing back on the obvious issue here to go on the offensive.

Several times they stated as fact that this was all Clinton's fault. Everyone nodded in agreement.

The second "expert" said that if 3 or more military members were in one place at least one of them should be armed. Anyone coming near them with a gun should be considered an enemy and their military training "will take over". He also said that he personally defied the Gun Free Zone when he was a Navy Seal because because he had a concealed weapon permit in the state of Wahington. He smiled smugly about this. Of course, the connection between the two was never made.

They all tried to sarcastically point out the bullet holes around the Gun Free Zone sign on the front door of one of the offices attacked.

No mention was made of the conviction of one mass shooter yesterday or the arraignment of another.

God and Guns - a Fox&Friends breakfast made to order.

Fox is evil, it drips from every pixel...they are the next Dixie Swastika that has to come down.

someday can also develop an electronic gadget that will block out Fox for an entire city.

I was getting ready for a rin and figured this would get my blood boiling. I mostly was just astonished at what was clearly their joy.

the next minute they want the US military to shoot first anyone they might think is suspicious just because... at least the RW is consistently stupid in their opinion.

Anyone coming near them with a gun should be considered an enemy and their military training "will take over".

They know that not everyone in the military is an infantry person, right???

and once you've had training it's there forever. Oh and every single person in the military is just perfect.
