Fox News graphic shows men shooting at Obama & McCain

[Oilwellian]

Fox News is known for outrageous graphics. Remember the chyron under a photo of Michelle Obama that called her "Obama's Baby Mama"? Well the producer who oversaw that to air got fired after the network initially tried to stem the issue by calling it "poor judgment."

Last night Fox ran another graphic that could be considered "poor judgment." This one had two gunmen pointing their pistols at photos of Barack Obama and John McCain.

See for yourself and decide whether it's "poor judgment" to point guns at our presidential nominees, especially when news of Obama assassination plots continues to surface.

4. Did they also lie about Obama wanting to take everyone's guns?

I bet the graphics guy at Faux just thought his graphic was "Cool lookin'" because guns are so awesome. "p-chew p-chew p-chew!"

6. I guess this is part of the "Fair and Balanced" methodology. This is

not funny. I heard on NPR Thursday afternoon that gun sales, particularly those formerly under the assault weapons ban, are experiencing enormous sales! The commentator interviewed a man who had just bought an uzi....the buyer was PROUD he had it and said Sen.Obama would violate his right to bear arms so he bought the gun before Obama could make them illegal. That story popped into my head when I saw this picture even though 'normal' handguns are shown.

9. That's outrageous!

That's just crazy that Faux gets away with such visuals. What a way to put something in some crazy mind. I wonder what the Secret Service thinks about that?
