Fox News host tells listeners to punch Obama voters ‘in the face’


Fox News host tells listeners to punch Obama voters ‘in the face’

A host of the Fox News show The Five was so angry that the Justice Department had investigated one of the network’s reporters that she told her viewers on Thursday to find anyone who voted for President Barack Obama and “punch them in the face.”

“Fox said, we’re targets, clearly Media Matters and others have put us on a target list,” Fox News host Andrea Tantaros explained on the Thursday edition of her radio show. “And they said, ‘Oh, Fox is just crazy! They’re just paranoid!’ Really? Are we?”

“This is what is happening to our press! This is Obama’s America! It’s like the Soviet Union,” she continued. “He said he would change the country. He said it. And a lot of people voted for him.”

“And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor, punch them in the face.”

And I'll see her facing assault charges. Premeditated assault charges. And whatever else I could think of to throw at her. AND seek damages.

Anyone else see the irony here?

I guess she pretty much proved the point that they "are" crazy! Of course I think that everyday the fox news gas bags prove that point.

Yet she seems to have gone to a new level by telling her "crazy" viewers to punch someone who voted for president Obama in the face!

need more revenue. Fox viewers may think they are patriots or even willing free-willed persons, but they are duped rubes.

This from the same network that was calling for the extradition and trial of Assange! And like him or not he was doing nothing more than what they claim their reporter was doing!

I'm totally shocked, shocked I tell you!!!

republican leadership are very dangerous people, they allow their spokemen to get away with inciting violence. The republican party Leaders stand there when this happens and do nothing to shut their people down.
