Fox News Anchor Calls Ted Kennedy A ‘Hostile Enemy Right Here On The Home Front’
This morning on Fox News, anchor Gretchen Carlson called Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) a “hostile enemy” of the United States because he has demanded that Congress vote on whether to approve funding for escalation in Iraq. In an interview with White House counselor Dan Bartlett, Carlson compared Kennedy to insurgents and terrorists in Iraq, saying that Kennedy represented the same kind of force “right here on the home front.”

Dan Bartlett disagreed, saying that the White House doesn’t “view Ted Kennedy as a hostile enemy” of the United States.

Digg It!

Transcript:

GRETCHEN CARLSON: You talk about the hostile enemy, obviously being Iraq, but hostile enemies right here on the home front. Yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy, proposing that any kind of a troop surge should mean there should be congressional approval of that. A lot of democrats not coming to his side on this. But obviously this is not going to be an easy sell on Capitol Hill, even if it’s not an easy sell to the American Public.

BARTLETT: We don’t view Ted Kennedy as hostile enemy but we do view him to be an open and often critic of the war. He has been from the outset. I don’t think that’s anything new.

2. That's what they generally call a traitor, isn't it?

Nice to see Fox News promoting civil discourse in the nation's capitol.

3. Fox isn't even bothering to hide it anymore

You'd have to be deluded to believe they are fair and balanced.

But what a wonderful trifecta that would be for the American public!

I dream of a time when everyone at that network is tried for war crimes.

8. What can you expect from the F-Word Network? If they'd just lay

off "nooz" and stick to comedy and reality shows, Fox would no longer be a dirty word.

[Beelzebud]

9. When they make Dan Bartlett appear sane, they have MAJOR problems...

[LeftishBrit]

12. he has demanded that Congress vote on whether to approve funding for escalation in Iraq

Sounds like he supports democracy and the American Constitution? Obviously that makes him a hostile enemy?

[denverbill]

13. Can you imagine if Dan Rather had called Shrub an 'enemy of the state'?

How they can put a delusional whore like that on the air is beyond me. Why not just go into a loony bin and pick out the first ranting crazy they find and stick them on the air too?

[EnviroBat]

14. Best be careful Gretchen...

Talk like that is gonna get you smacked in the mouth. These fucks at FOX are trying to get us riled to divide this country. They are traitors and should be tried as such. It's time we start throwing this republican tactic right back at them. Let's start forming republican watch-lists, and labeling them traitors, and enemy-combatants. Let the shit hit the fan, I'm ready to rumble...

15. gretchen ..was this written about you?

"We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry"

[badgerpup]

18. Whoa...scary.

:wow:
Heard that song just yesterday and thought how much things haven't changed...

[Beelzebud]

19. Even for Fox News standards, this is a fucking outrage...

[zbdent]

20. You know, it wasn't a "liberal" who drove a truck filled with fertilizer

up to a government building in Oklahoma City ... it was someone who thought the Govt. was far too liberal for his tastes ...

Time has not been kind to her. Apparently, like the portrait of Dorian Gray, the evil within has manifested itself in her visage.
