- lhbaker, on 06/11/2009, -26/+289Fox News acknowledges that its viewers are stark raving mad. That's quality.
- GBPACKGB, on 06/11/2009, -39/+267Kudos to Shep. There are wackos on all sides of the political spectrum, but a disproportionate of them are from the far-right.
- RSMiller, on 06/11/2009, -49/+253Unfortunately, I don't think this is going to stop. The greatest domestic terrorist event, the Oklahoma City bombing, was caused partially by people who believed that a liberal form of government was going to take their guns away and oppress them. I believe the average conservative is wound so tight that all it would take is a spark. I can't imagine how the right extremists feel, oh wait, the CD Holocaust Museum, and the murder of Tiller.
- DangerCollie, on 06/11/2009, -43/+218And when Janet Napolitano warns about right wing extremists the Republicans leap to the wingnuts defense and make her apologize. 2 murders in 11 days and it's not going to stop until we start putting the chuckleheads away.
- bundwallah, on 06/11/2009, -31/+172FOX News: You reap what you sow. Take hardline right wing paranoid slants on what you report as "news" and wonder why your viewers are frothing at the mouth? Hmmm....didn't see that coming. /s
- soccerman90, on 06/11/2009, -17/+132I wonder how much longer Sheppard can last with those crazies at fox news. He is a lone voice of sanity on that network
- markf3388, on 06/11/2009, -7/+99Shep Smith has a heavy set of titanium balls calling out the Fox News viewers like that. Good for him.
- joshthegreat200, on 06/11/2009, -16/+105I love Shep Smith, hes the only one at fox news who isn't a far right extremist preaching propaganda.
- Zaxcomp, on 06/11/2009, -6/+94Apparently, our socialized school system has failed to teach you proper grammar.
- clinsy, on 06/11/2009, -31/+113I really feel like we need to organize a boycott, draw some attention, do something to stop the hate speech now. I have a really awful feeling things will get worse if they (Foxnews) continue to fan the flames.
- dantesfurnose, on 06/11/2009, -5/+86"There have been many elections and Obama has gone to far"
?
Voted down for being incomprehensible. - woodsjransom, on 06/11/2009, -28/+99This is just the tip of the iceberg. FAUX NUs and some others have been stirring this hornet's nest for a while, ever since the presidential election. We got some unhinged Diggers in here as well. There are some sick puppies out there and its just gotten started.
- Lomstradamus, on 06/11/2009, -3/+68Thanks for proving Sheps point.
Dumbass!! - inactive, on 06/11/2009, -11/+75Typical right wing brainwashed nutjob.
- superkeer, on 06/11/2009, -5/+68Shep has been slowly starting to "get it" for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on another network this time next year.
- bjornski, on 06/11/2009, -4/+65CNN should trade Lou Dobbs for him.
- crunchdigg, on 06/11/2009, -22/+82He's pointing out that his employer's core viewers are insane,
at least partially because Fox whips them into a frenzy.
"People who are so amped up and so angry for reasons
that are absolutely wrong, ridiculous, preposterous."
That takes some balls. Good for him.
He might be looking for work soon.
The DHS memo and its warning about
enraged people that have lots of guns and believe
that their God is telling them who to hate, well,
it doesn't sound too farfetched now, does it? - gospe1337, on 06/11/2009, -8/+58Preventive arrests ...? What exactly does, "put away" mean and who are the "chuckleheads"?
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -4/+53Can you retarded ***** for once in your pathetic lives learn the difference between socialism and fascism and settle on which one you think Obama is? Thanks
signed: sane, intelligent people. - ericdano, on 06/11/2009, -7/+55Shep is the MAN at Fox. He is about the only thing good on there.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 06/11/2009, -3/+50So the moral of your story is that violent extremists of any religion or ideology need to be put down. Agreed.
- chrissku, on 06/11/2009, -1/+47CNN should feed Lou Dobbs to Rush Limbaugh.
- charm803, on 06/11/2009, -2/+47He was one of the few at Fox to call out Joe the Plumber over his comments on Israel.
I can't believe how people are hung up on the birth certificate after it has been proven over, and over, and over, and over, that even WND had to admit to it.
Good job, Shep. We need him to stay at Fox and help knock some sense into these idiot viewers.
(And WTF, Digg? I'm getting annoyed at how the box goes up and down when I write a comment. You should have fixed it by now, dammit.) - KibblesnBitts, on 06/11/2009, -6/+50The sad thing is that I didn't think that was frightening at all...considering how often you read comments like that on Digg and almost any forum out there
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 06/11/2009, -3/+42Among Fox news anchors Smith has on several occasions refused to part with reality just because that's the direction his peers are going. I particularly remember Joe the Plumber telling him that electing Obama would bring about the destruction of Israel and Smith responding by saying that essentially that Joe had no idea what he was talking about. Good for him.
- pinchduck, on 06/11/2009, -9/+47Bush tore up the constitution and now you want Obama to put it through a shredder? You can't just lock people up for the fun of it. You have to wait until they commit a crime. The Patriot Act gave the Federal Government some frighteningly powerful abilities, why don't they use that to look for dangerous conspiracies instead of drafting "Patriot Act II: The Mop Up".
- taokr, on 06/11/2009, -2/+39Shepard Smith is the lone voice of reason on Fox News.
- insinuate, on 06/11/2009, -5/+41yeah, cause everything we've been doing before now was working out so well.
Oh wait. - inactive, on 06/11/2009, -3/+36ND WHAT I WANNA KNOW IUS WHERE HIS GIFT CERTIFICATIE!!!!

Just because you were too busy to look up the story doesn't mean it wasn't on Digg.
(Personally I call a spade a spade and a loony a loony, be he a Muhammadan loony or Jesus loony, but I think these articles fulfill the parameters of your "not covered by Digg" headline.)
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -13/+46How many left-wing nutballs are carrying around guns?
- rotundo, on 06/11/2009, -5/+37Electing Obama was absolutely a call to fundamentally change the nation. The majority felt that it had been fundamentally changed too much the other direction by the previous administration. If Obama goes too far (he hasn't yet), the Congress or the Supreme Court can hinder him and then we can vote him out next time around. If you mean anything more than that by "fight for your freedoms" in regard to the current administration than yes, you are a radical, and treasonous as well.
And sorry, but just because you don't understand that all successful nations (including the US) have a blend of socialism and capitalism doesn't mean that everyone who does understand is trying to make us full-blown socialist. Some of us are just trying to find the best balance. - teemingvoid, on 06/11/2009, -0/+31to his credit.. there have been many elections, in many different countries, too.. and clearly he left out the 'i' in fair, where the President presumably rode a ferris wheel and poked fun at carnies
- digggroupie, on 06/11/2009, -35/+65Huffintonpost comments are scary
- markf3388, on 06/11/2009, -4/+34It what happens when you pander to the uneducated and they think they are receiving "news."
- Recoil, on 06/11/2009, -6/+35I know what he means, I'm getting pretty freaked out by all these people who keep asking me if I wanna increase my penis size.
- darkism, on 06/11/2009, -4/+32Because he was a right-winger too - deeply conservative, operating on religious motives...it doesn't matter *what* religion.
- ChadN, on 06/11/2009, -10/+38And remember, the Oklahoma bombers *deliberately* blew up children, because their parents worked for the government.
- Mercedes383, on 06/11/2009, -0/+27That's what I was thinking. I thought it was relatively mild compared to what flies about the forums. Sad.
- SpinningHead, on 06/11/2009, -6/+33The 9/11 attack was an act of revenge for US involvement in the middle east. It doesn't fit into the standard terrorist definition. Huh?
- bjornski, on 06/11/2009, -4/+30Careful, or mjolner88 will go shoot up a synagogue.
- buckrogers1965, on 06/11/2009, -3/+29You don't boycott Fox. You boycott the advertisers who pay Fox to put their ads on the air.
- reuscel, on 06/11/2009, -6/+31There's one difference between left wing extremists and right wing extremists: left wing extremists don't tend to be armed to the teeth. Fox should be ashamed of how it has fanned the flames of hatred in this country, and how they have given legitimacy to the lunatic fringe with their paranoia and complete revulsion for any ideas that don't conform to their fascist ideal. Don't expect this to be the last violent episode involving a deluded right-winger. They're angry, they're frustrated, and they generally don't have the intellectual tools necessary to process all of the irrational rage coursing through their veins. I'm sorry if this offends any of my friends whose political views skew to the right, but for all your bitching about the left being "fascists" and "socialists," we almost never resort to violence in pursuit of our goals. There's a fine line between legal, rational dissent and sedition, and right now Fox News is very deftly straddling that line. I weep for my country.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -7/+31CHRISTIAN HOMEGROWN TERRORIST SHOT ONE MEN
Headline you will see on DIGG few weeks from now. - JoeMondo, on 06/11/2009, -2/+26How the ***** was the OC bombing not an act of terrorism?
- Psynaut00, on 06/11/2009, -12/+36WTF??? Fox news is the one that is almost single handedly responsible (along with Rush Limbaugh and a couple others) for inciting all this rage and hatred. Now all of a sudden, after many years of spewing hate, they are pretending like they are a beacon of peace and tolerance. Seriously, WTF???
- FordSVT1, on 06/11/2009, -3/+26First of all there is no "standard" definition of terrorism. Any attempt to research the definition of terrorism will result in one finding a number of definitions and a large amount of continuing debate on the topic.
Having said that, it was intended to be a political statement against the US government intended to scare the ***** out of the general population, and carried out by a non-state entity. Any motivation for "revenge" was just a bonus for the nut. A government building with a significant civilian component was chosen specifically, children were chosen specifically. How the ***** is that not terrorism?
"You can't handle the truth. Because the truth is, I blew up the Murrah Building, and isn't it kind of scary that one man could wreak this kind of hell?" - Timothy McVeigh.
TERRORISM. - boerema, on 06/11/2009, -5/+28He wasn't saying that all conservatives are going to go out and kill people. He is saying that they are, in general, so continuously outraged by everything that it doesn't take much to get them riled up.
- JumpingJack79, on 06/11/2009, -1/+24Ocyris: What's relevant, I think, are the American people of today, not some extreme regimes in world history that hardly anyone in today's America would support.
And by the way, the Nazi regime is a lot more right-wing (extreme nationalism) than left. And so is KKK (violent racism). What seems to confuse you is the fact that the KKK in its beginnings was related to the Democrat party - but the Democrats used to be the CONSERVATIVE (right-wing) party until roughly the beginning of the 20th century. - MarkOfTheDead, on 06/11/2009, -1/+24Hahaha why is that paragraph spaced like lyrics? I just sang all of that and demand an explanation.
