'Fox & Friends' cheers Afghan bomb video

"Fox & Friends" on Friday admiringly aired a government video showing a massive bomb being dropped in Afghanistan, with one host touting it as "what freedom looks like."

The U.S. military on Thursday dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb — GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), commonly called the "mother of all bombs" — onto a terrorist tunnel network in Afghanistan.

Fox News's morning show on Friday aired the video of the bombing to the sounds of Toby Keith's “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.” The country song, written in 2002 amid calls for military action after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, famously contains the line “We’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way.”

Host Ainsley Earhardt referenced the song's lyrics, saying that even though the video is in black and white, “That’s what freedom looks like, that’s the red, white, and blue."

just in time to hear the bastards carry on about what an evil man Assad was because he said "the gas attack was fake - how do you know those children are dead?" This....from the same people that said Sandy Hook was a hoax and no children died.
That was enough FOX for the next month.
