Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck connected an ongoing National Football League controversy surrounding domestic violence to the September 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

The Fox & Friends host tweeted September 16, "Imagine if everyone that asked for transparency in the #nfl @nfl Demanded that same #transparency in our #government," adding the hashtags "#Benghazi" and "#IRS," references to the terrorist attack and the alleged targeting by the IRS of tax exempt organizations.

1. omfg, she is *such* a tool. n/t

2. Totally totally

NOT surprised that she went there. Not the teensiest tiniest little bit.

I can't believe I ever rooted for her on Survivor.

3. She's a perfect case study into the cult of FOX News.

And what it does to peoples brains. She was always misinformed and naive, but she has become completely unhinged and rabid. FOX News is a virus.

4. F'n dumbass...

5. Kudos to her for creating a new game: "Six Degrees of Benghazi" . . .

the rules are similar to "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," only the point of reference is even less grounded in reality than Kevin Bacon's fictional movie characters.

Well played, Hasselbeck. Well played.

6. What is truly frightening there are some people for whom this makes sense.

They are not mentally ill and do not have a brain lesion.

7. Why don't you ask your husband. He had a cup of coffee in the league.

8. I am not surprised, since they even connected the missing Malaysian airliner

to Benghazi.

9. I agree if you subtract the hastags

They're really grasping at the straws w/ this Benghazi looking/hoping for a scandal but the passion is interesting.

Pay TV make sure to renew contracts w/ ESPN pretty much more than most other channels. (of the common channels they are paid the most per subscriber)

10. Fox News: Where logic takes a holiday and all laws of nature are meaningless!
