Why is Fox so upset about O' Donnell?

[rpannier]

Their viewers turned out in droves to support an organization that Sean Hannity and Glen Beck have been actively promoting for the last 18 months.
Sean had been running his shows from their rallies
Glen was claiming they should have received the Nobel Peace Prize

So why all the outrage and crying?

2. Because they fear that her victory here...

Will lead to a Democratic victory in the election.

3. Perhaps even they

have realized they've created a monster. File it under be "Be careful what you wish for."

4. trying to tamp down the moster they released

5. She's an embarrassment with some serious personal finance issues, for two things.

She has an easily accessed (on the intertubes) past of saying really insane things on major media shows (MTV and Politically Incorrect).

and she wants more than anything to be Sarah Palin.

9. Very true

But Fox holds as much responsibility as anyone else
They've been encouraging these people for the last year-and-a-half

6. she loses them the senate... eom

[vixengrl]

10. Because they think she'll lose, and they are backing away

from the FAIL.

Charles Krauthammer was earlier talking about how Palin was wrong to endorse this one--and the 'hammer isn't a tool we appreciate for its sharpness but its blunt force. I think the Villagers are scared that they've summoned up a golem they can't put down, but that the voters will. They would rather save face by spitting on a TeaParty candidate with huge unfavorables, than get caught red-handed turd-polishing with crap on their fingers the only reward.

12. I think you've said it best

The media has pursued these loonies and encouraged them.
Now, the chickens have come home (Rapacious, rabid, ignorant, racist chickens)

I guess they're not so amusing anymore

[Lilyeye]

11. She has an embarassing background and they believe she will lose.

Low info voters just saw "tea party" and voted for this dipshit. It maybe possible that she is a bigger embarrassment than Palin. I say good for those idiots who elevated these right wing loons.
