Fox News Anchor Walks Off Set When Co-Hosts Act Like Bad Clinton Supporters
This is actually pretty impressive. On live television, a national news anchor walks off the set because his co-hosts are taking cheap shots at the Democratic candidate.

The oddest part is that the co-hosts were acting like so many people at DU.

2. Yeah but he defended Obama and so did Chris Wallace, to me that was surprising.

8. Kilmeade is a sports dork who works for FOX Sports.
I don't think he was joking. He isn't a political hack and it probably pissed him off because it was inane.

5. Note: There Are Also Bad Obama Supporters Out There
I don't want to single out Clinton supporters as the only people that choose to back their candidate with cheap shots. In this instance, though, I have actually seen a bunch of Clinton supporters here pretend that Obama's comment was denigrating of white people (of which he is half, all you Plessy v. Ferguson fans).

4. So anyone who bashes Obama is a Clinton supporter, right?
No McCain supporter, no Nader supporter, no simple folks who do not like Obama..

No, like a Pavlovian reflex: Obama bad = Clinton supporter. Nice, very nice. And then you wonder why some Clinton supporters are so sick and nauseated by the Obama gang that they say they will stay home on November. Really a nice way to unite the party..

6. Check The Time Line, I Was Already Trying to Clarify My Stance
With the #5 post. But since this is DEMOCRATIC Underground, I can only assume that only a fraction of the people posting this garbage are McCain or Nader fans (or random anarchists bent on destroying the system from within).

11. Dunno,
she was trying to clarify the situation (apparently) and he became frustrated? Fox is so geared to shouting that they really don't know how to have a conversation.

15. Those 2 appear to have integrity...
I have seen the video, and it clearly shows the other two being rediculous when called out. After he walked off, they were laughing at him, shows their maturity level.
