more fox bs!

Fox News' Eric Bolling delivered an angry, emotional response to the attention he received for mistakenly saying there had been no domestic terror attacks during President Bush's term.

Since the statement--which Bolling made on Wednesday's episode of "The Five"--omitted 9/11, Bolling drew some ridicule. On Thursday's episode, he addressed his critics directly, with his voice shaking. Bolling said that "obviously" he had meant that there were no domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of 9/11, but that the "radical liberal left pounced on us and me" instead of letting the statement go.

He then assured people that he remembered 9/11 all too well.

"I happened to be standing there watching in true terror as radical Islamists slammed planes into the towers that morning," Bolling said. "I remember the towers collapsing, killing 3,000, including 16 of my closest friends, and I really remember trying to comfort the kids of my friends at their memorial services. I'll never forget 9/11, but thank you liberals for reminding me how petty you can be."

1. "Petty" is NOT remembering 9-11 and Lying to Your Audience to Fool Americans

because of your anti-democratic/fascist agenda...

PS - take some anger management classes

[perdita9]

2. Will Conservatives be Thanking Obama for keeping us safe?

No domestic terrorist attacks since Obama took office (except for those perpertrated by the Tea party and anti-abortion extremists), Republicans. Make sure you thank the man in charge for that.

[lame54]

3. he said "between 2000 and 2008"

[ScottLand]

22. Well, maybe 2001 doesn't fall between 2000 and 2008.

[W T F]

4. What about the anthrax attacks????? What a dumbass!!!

[KurtNYC]

44. the Beltway Sniper(s) also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltway_sniper_attacks

[Blue State Bandit]

5. Wasn't the Anthrax attacks "in the aftermath of 9/11"?

What a F#@king idiot!

[Pharaoh]

15. yes of course

but they were targeted at democrats and the "liberal" media.

[JohnyCanuck]

26. And the anthrax originated from a US miltiary lab...

best for everyone that one be allowed to slip down the memory hole.

[FreeBillClinton]

6. His response should have included an acknowlegment that his point was invalid

He used that statement to make a point. Now that he acknowledges that his fact was incorrect, where's the acknowledgment that his point was also invalid?

Liberals aren't being petty by pointing out his error. They are pointing out that his conclusions are false because he was basing them on incorrect facts.

[rhett o rick]

8. Well stated. nm

[wxgeek7]

7. Yo Eric!

...just admit you were wrong, shut the hell up, and move on!!

[Quixote1818]

9. I am beginning to hate this guy on an epic level. What an ass-hat! nt

[frylock]

10. yes, we're petty, but you're a fucking dumbshit..

i'll get over being petty.

[humanityisfree]

11. Can someone please tell this clown

to button his top button. C'mon dude are you crocker or tubbs? You are on Television... not at your country club's 19th hole...

[Quixote1818]

12. He lost 16 close friends on 9-11? That must be a record

Unless someone worked on one of those floors where people were trapped I doubt there are very many people in New York that knew 16 people who died on that day much less they were all close friends. This needs to be checked into because he is either lying or exaggerating on an epic level.

[Snotcicles]

29. Their all pathological and mythomaniacs. nt

[JHB]

33. He was a commodities trader and executive...

...so actually it's not unreasonable that he knew 16 people who died in the WTC.

Where I would quibble is the "friends" part. Has he had 16 friends in his entire life?

[Devil_Fish]

45. it's too bad he didn't go with them. NT

[Enthusiast]

13. Bush ignored specific warnings

leading up to 9/11. That was treason. Treason is a much more serious charge than being petty. We hear petty every time we watch Fox News.

[russspeakeasy]

14. If he doesn't want us to laugh at him, he shouldn't say such

funny things. He is a first class a..hole.

[The Wizard]

16. His mother

must have thrown away the kid and kept the afterbirth.

[Duct Tape]

17. It's petty to correct someone?

Even if he had meant "in the aftermath", which I highly doubt, he didn't say it and therefore his statement was inaccurate. There's nothing "petty" about pointing out an inaccuracy.

[Hubert Flottz]

18. And after 9/11 there was the terror attack on the US Mail and the

Terror attack that still goes on today in Iraq.

Edit...How many American service men and women have died in harms way, in a war that never had to be in Iraq? How many Americans have watched and are still watching their friends blown away in Bush's war of choice? How many Iraqi men women and children have watched their friends and family blown away or tortured, maimed, or born so deformed that they can't survive because of the use of depleted uranium munitions? Where are the WMD?

[mwb970]

19. Jeez, what a jerk.

He tries to whitewash the bush disaster, gets called on it, then cries like a baby. Let me guess - he's a republican!

[XanaDUer]

20. So, Eric Bolling, whoever he is, is pissed at liberals?

well la di da. :eyes:

[SnowCritter]

21. Ya know

after a bowel movement I flush stuff down the toilet that has more integrity than this turd!

[A wise Man]

23. The problem i see in this is

we have no accountability police to stop these idiots at fox.... lies,right wing propoganda and shamless assaults on the dumbest people in America ie republican voters.

[Amonester]

42. It's also clear they despise them ie republican voters

they only USE them to get personally richer day after day after day

It's crystal clear they don't really give a f about their actual and future well being.

All they care about is that they gobble their batshit crazy propaganda of lies and history distortion.

[FarLeftFist]

24. So they replaced Beckkk with another emotionally unstable whack-job?!

Dummy.

[Snotcicles]

28. Part of the job description. It's the group they hangout with. nt

[FarLeftFist]

25. Conservatives are such sensitive little whiney crybabies.

They like to talk real big but quickly play the "victim" role and run away crying when the tables are turned.

[Snotcicles]

27. That lying crying POS. He has made a career out of relentlessly attacking liberals.nt

[AlbertCat]

30. So.... let's see...

I could make the statement on a news channel. "There were 50 major terrorist attacks under Bush's watch"

And when Fox News pointed out I was mistaken, I could just throw a tantrum and call them petty.... and everything would be fine.


Got it.

[PatSeg]

31. Do you suppose it was a coincidence

that he uses the adjective "radical" for both liberals and Islamist terrorists?

How soon before he starts the fake crying routines?

[JHB]

35. No, it wasn't

This is a guy who thinks all liberals are radicals. That Obama is a radical. That anyone to the left of John McCain is radical.

Which is, of course, the language of a radical.

[PatSeg]

40. That was my take on him as well

Just repeat a word over and over again until it takes hold in weak minds. I still find it ridiculous that in this day and age, right-wingers have dragged out the old Commie/Marxist crap. What they lack in originality, they make up for in dogged persistence.

[JHB]

47. It doesn't surprise me. It's what they did to Bill Clinton.

In 1992 Bill Clinton was the least liberal of the entire field of Democratic contenders. He was the "pro-business" (read as "Reaganomic") governor of a "right-to-work" (read as "anti-union") state who was know to have womanizing issues. The last was potentially sensitive since in just the previous cycle (1988) Gary Hart's candidacy went down in flames over an affair scandal.

But he had the biggest funding war-chest and the election press corps liked him: he was a yuppie just like them. So he was "anointed" (they used that word) as the frontrunner before any votes were cast.


For the Republicans, the dilemma was that they couldn't attack Clinton using the same old "bash them as slaves to 'special interests'" playbook, because he wasn't. He'd make deliberate snubs to groups (e.g., the "Sista Souljah Moment") to make a show of not being beholden to them. And they could never quite get a "bimbo explosion" going hot enough to take him out, because Hillary defused some of the fireworks on that front.

So what did the Republican's do? They played the "I reject your reality and substitute my own" card, and ran against draft-dogin' dope-smokin' ultra-leftist Hippie Bill. If they couldn't attack him on real issues, they'd invent some. (A strategy which ironically shored up Clinton's support among liberals, on the mistaken belief that "he's one of us".)

With the national media already beaten into submission to prove by Reagan and Poppy Bush, and feeling the need to prove they didn't have "liberal media bias", the Republicans could claim anything they wanted and the stenographers simply repeated it.

[PatSeg]

48. You summed that up very nicely

Then we end up with a one party system that outwardly appears to be two parties, but it is really "right" and "ultra-right".

[SalmonChantedEvening]

32. Bull.

He knew what he was saying, and doing. He was distancing the tragedy from bunnypants and the neocons purposefully.

[Hotler]

34. Suck it dry you shit stain. eom.

[MrMickeysMom]

36. WAH!!! "That's when the radical liberal left pounced on me!"

:cry:

No, you mental midget, that's when you had to back-track trying to remember that you even HAD close friends.

With friends like that....

[gibby2433]

37. He's obviously just trying to get famous using the hole left by Glenn Beckkk nt

[tsuki]

38. Help! The evil radical liberal left stole Bollings brain, and they won't give it back. nt

[Dirigo]

39. Eric Bolling ???

Who In The Hell Is Eric Bolling? I Never Heard Of That Cretin?

[indy legend]

41. Just when Fox gets rid of one douche bag in Glen Beck.......

they look under a rock and out slithers another slimy shit stain like this fuck wad to take his place.

[libodem]

43. A Santorum Spot

Ew.

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Karen Hughes said much the same thing on MTP awhile back

I yelled "What?!" at the TV, but nobody else said a word... :grr:
