Fox News host ’100 percent’ in favor of pepper spraying kids who throw temper tantrums
Posted on 04.5.11

What does Fox News host Gretchen Carlson think of police potentially using pepper spray against a young child?

“In my book, that’s called discipline,” she said during Tuesday’s broadcast of “Fox and Friends.”

That was her response to a story about a school that called the police on an 8-year-old — and a position even her co-hosts on the conservative opinion show seemed a bit incredulous over.

This video was broadcast by Fox News on Tuesday, April 5, 2011, as snipped by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters.

1. Like when Billdo O'Reilly was a child and threw the "we'll do it live"

tantrum? I can see that. If O'Reilly was my kid I'd pepper spray the crap out of him daily!

2. How about pepper spraying Faux News hosts who throw temper tantrums?

jus askin

3. Someone should pepper spray her and see how she likes it. That is not discipline, it's child abuse.

4. Gretchen Carlson... Tiger Anchor!

5. Two kinds of people in this world when it comes to having been hurt or dominated:

Those who never want to see it done to anyone else, and those who can't wait to do it themselves.

So much rancor from the right comes from this attitude of "I had to put up with it, so so do you." There's a leftist equivalent, too, unfortunately: "nobody's ever suffered like me, so it's my turn now and your dreams don't count."

We are in for some very unpleasant times now, and the human character will be on full display. Mercifully, we're a fairly decent species, but sometimes it's hard to remember that amid the furor.

6. Pepper spraying children for temper tantrums, that explains why John Boehners is always crying.nt

7. Wiki says she's married with two small children.

I think someone should check on the kids. Maybe they have them locked in a basement dungeon or something.

[Johonny]

16. I think this goes under my kids would never do that

book of naive parenting. If her kid got pepper sprayed I'm sure we would never hear the end of it.

[Uncle Joe]

8. I wonder if FOX "News" put her up to say such a thing as a diversionary tactic so the rest

of the corporate media wouldn't cover this?

2 of Rupert Murdoch's News Editors were just ARRESTED for phone hacking. Please look at FOX next!

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

9. By that logic, shouldn't someone be regularly pepper spraying Glenn Beck?

[louslobbs]

10. What is her book Mein Kampf? That's called abuse Carlson, discipline according to the Nazis maybe,

but then again, Fox Gop Fraudcasting, doesn't exactly have mentally sound people working for their propaganda channel. I'm sorry for you Carlson, but I'm more sorry for any children around you, but just to see how your type of discipline feels, could you invite me over to spray you a face full of police strength pepper spray? I'd love to to assist in this little experiment, you sad excuse for a human being. Sure, abuse the shit out of your kids and then send them out into the world angry and mentally ill for the rest of us to have to deal with. Please, go away Republicons and Fox Gop Fraudcasting, for the sake of our countries survival, just go away.

12. So when are birchwood switches on bare skin coming back?

That's what kids need, more VIOLENCE inflicted on them

:eyes:

13. What if a teacher had done it.

Fox news would be telling us that teachers don't earn their pay if they can't control their kids without extreme measures.

[center rising]

14. Gee Gretchen, can I pepper spray you and see how you like it??

Idiot!!!

[pacalo]

15. By her (il)logic, an adult who is much larger than the child has no other options than to

use pepper spray. Unbelievable.

[Danger Mouse]

17. Idiots who equate child abuse with 'discipline' shouldn't be allowed near kids.

Also, any cop who can't handle an 8-year old child without resorting to pepper spray or a taser is one hell of a shitty cop.

18. Fox anchor tantrum list; O'Liarly, Beck...

Does betrayal of democracy equate to unacceptable behavior?

[JoeyT]

19. Perhaps she should allow herself be pepper sprayed, since it's a minor enough thing to discipline a

child with. You know, like everyone that carries it as part of their job is required to do. (Or at least they used to be.)

You eat a face full of that stuff one time and you're a little more hesitant to declare someone needs to be sprayed over some random little thing. Or at least you are if you have any empathy whatsoever.
