Fox News Calls Would-Be Obama Assassin ‘Occupy Shooter’ A Day After Authorities Found ‘No Connection’ To Protests


Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson said the shooter “may have tried to blend in with the Occupy protesters in D.C.,” and asked conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, “What would have happened if a tea party person had tried to do that?” Malkin took the bait, but admitted that “political ideology” was likely not a motivation of the man.

The claim was based on a report that authorities searched the Occupy DC encampment in their wide-ranging manhunt for Ortega-Hernandez, a logical step as the site is less than the two blocks from the White House. Unfortunately, for Fox, investigators “found no connection between him and the Occupy protesters,” the Washington Post and the outlets reporter the day before Carlson and Malkin claimed a link. Indeed, by then, Ortega-Hernandez had already been arrested in Pennsylvania, and there were reports that he was motivate by mental illness and hatred for Obama.

1. I'm sure they will find links between

him and the Easter Bunny, too. When you make the news up as you go along, it's easy to do.

2. If rumors are to be believed, the shooter has more links to Romney than anyone else.

It's not confirmed yet, but the shooter has been clamed by some to belong to a Mormon ward (that's a diocese to you who don't speak mormonese) in Idaho.

NO, I'm not suggesting he really has links to Romney. I'm just using Fox "News" "logic" as applied to info that hasn't been twisted...

No one knows when you're lying.

4. “What would have happened if a tea party person had tried to do that?”

They would have said their are bad apples in every group. Just as O'reilly has said about the tea baggers. Not that he was even involved in the protest.
