Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt says Church the best place to be shot

FROM THE BOING BOING SHOP


Due to apparent proximity to Jesus, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt feels church is the best place to be shot. No wonder I never go there.

Via RawStory:

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt asserted on Monday that the dozens of people killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas had gone to the right place to be shot because they were close to Jesus at the time of their death.

“We’ve been reporting this shouldn’t happen in a church,” Earhardt said during an interview with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R). “But I was downstairs talking with some people that work here that we all talk about our faith and we share the same beliefs. We were saying there’s no other place we would want to go other than church.”

“Because I’m there asking for forgiveness,” she continued. “I feel very close to Christ when I’m there. So, I’m trying to look at some positives here and know that those people are with the Lord now and experiencing eternity and no more suffering, no more sadness anymore.”

Abbott agreed that there was a “necessity for us to come together under one God to purge evil and to rely upon the love that God provides.”

1. yep. one can go from dead on the floor to the funeral to the cemetary in just 2 steps in an hour or

less after profuse thanks to god for your own murder in his house.

[Binkie The Clown]

2. It's certainly getting to be a more likely place to get shot.

You'd think god would protect his own. I guess not.

3. No words my chin just hit the floor

[LiberalFighter]

4. Maybe they should all stay in church until it happens. Geesh!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. I wonder if this reporter has a Plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of her car.

Closer to Jesus? Fools will believe anything. They elected Donald Trump.

[moda253]

15. Only half of the problem.

Yes fools will believe anything and that accounts for the viewers. But the soulless will peddle anything to make money.

16. Ainsley is horrendous. She's a dopey "leg girl" who says offensive nonsense like this too frequently

Ainsley has made offensive statements before but she never gets called out for it. She plays dumb -- all the time. Fox is notorious for featuring the women in "leg seats" where viewers can see every inch of their revealed legs, and the camera constantly flirts with crotch shots because the dresses are so tight and so short that a "wardrobe malfunction" could happen easily. Ainsley is the epitome of this -- she's a dope who never, ever asks any remotely thoughtful questions, makes offensive statements about the superiority of Christianity, worships Trump like a child (her "interview" with Trump was just laughable)

17. Change Earhardt to AIRHEAD

the name would be more fitting, doncha think?

[appleannie1943]

6. That network sucks out brains and eats them.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

18. That means only ZOMBIES watch FOX Noise.......

Which is why I do NOT watch FOX. I haz brains!

[Bantamfancier]

7. If I'm gonna get shot,

I would prefer it to be in a level 1 trauma center.
Ya know, cut out the helicopter ride.

They want us to line up peacefully since the gas ovens aren't quite built yet.

[peabody]

14. Me too!

[Kleveland]

8. Can they get any stupider? Er, rhetorical question I guess.

They don't even understand their own religion.

It is not about location.

The location is just a gathering place for fellowship.

Their so called God is supposed to be everywhere! Right?

Did not Jesus say something about the temple of God being within oneself?

Man...

It makes as much sense as the resident of the town saying that she thought that it was safe in this town, and that she thought stuff like this only happened in big cities.

You are not safe anywhere, you could perish at any moment, in any place, and dead is dead, no matter where you are.

Live long and prosper!

[BannonsLiver]

10. Stupid? This woman is completely insane. Gone round the bend.

[3catwoman3]

9. Sighing deeply here.

That is just fucking nuts.



(My forehead is getting calloused from all the head banging I have been doing for the last year.)

[lpbk2713]

11. It must hurt to be that effen stupid.

[Blue_true]

12. Gretchen Carlson.

I always tax my brain trying to figure out why Gretchen Carlson worked for Fox. She is a Rhodes Scholar. Maybe it was money and warped politics until Ailes tried to repeatedly run his hand up her tights.

Ainsley ain't no Rhodes Scholar by any remote measure.

[gvstn]

19. Gretchen Carlson must be a good actress because these descriptions always seemed apt.

Recently, lemon-scented floor mop Gretchen Carlson invited a little boy and his father on to discuss the child's near-death experience

13. If you get shot in church, does that mean that it's gawd's will?

Their prayers didn't do much to save them.

[Crunchy Frog]

20. So, no harm no foul. Everything has happened for the best,

And people are making a big fuss over nothing.

[MindPilot]

21. The human species will never advance until the standard response to something this is

laughter. Followed by questioning the speaker's sanity, intellect and education level.
