Shepard Smith attacks Tom Coburn for blocking 9/11 first responders bill
Edited on Tue Dec-21-10 11:08 PM by EV_Ares
He has been on a tear lately, what gives?
-------------------


For the second day in a row now, Fox News' Shepard Smith used his 3 p.m. show to publicly shame specific Republicans for blocking passage of the bill that would fund healthcare for ailing 9/11 first responders. Yesterday, Shep called out a dozen senators who refused to come on his show and explain themselves. Today, Shep singled out Sen. Tom Coburn, a conservative's conservative, who is at this point the last Republican still willing to publicly block the bill from coming to the floor.

7. He just signed a new multi year contract. I doubt if they will fire him.
He is their token moderate and as such he serves a purpose for them.

3. Well, guess Shep is running about the same as the rest of the country. I have been
wondering myself how the country cannot see these pieces of crap for what they are.

Man, a doctor & he blocks this bill for these guys who some gave their life and others desperately need the care. How low do you go?

11. Guys like Coburn get elected because about 40% of the voting
public is borderline illiterate. nt

9. Verbally assaults him. Damn, I was hoping he'd beaten the sh*t out of him
Sadly, Coburn isn't even the most insane of the group
