Fox News Viewers Think Sikh Temple Shooting Story is ‘Inspiring’

[onehandle]

Over at Fox Nation, the Fox News forum where "real Americans" gather "to speak out on important and controversial issues," users have overwhelmingly found yesterday's Sikh temple shooting story to be "inspiring."

Every Fox Nation story gets labeled with one of seven adjectives — offensive, funny, cool, obnoxious, scary, inspiring, and crazy — based on the number of votes received by each.

"Inspiring" took the top spot with ease, beating out "scary" by a margin of two to one. "Crazy" was a distant third.

1. What is "inspiring" about the slaughter of innocent people?

[Journeyman]

3. The officer who put his life on the line and took down the killer in a bid to protect citizens. . .

that's what's inspiring about this story.

4. That is the only inspiring thing about the story, thank you. I was not thinking about that angle.

7. It's what I believe most of the Fox Nation viewers were probably responding to. . .

if you read the article on the Fox site, the officer's heroism is a big part of it.

2. Notice that they don't include words like Devastating or Sad

6. They're downright happy.

And they know NOTHING about Sikhs!

10. What a ridiculous thing to say n/t

[NYC Liberal]

5. Fox needs to add a "Bullshit" option to their stories (not that it would apply here obviously).

8. I'd watch it just so I could vote for that.

Well, I'd think about watching it anyway.

9. It is inspiring. Especially the actions of the police officer and temple president

Both put their lives on the line confronting the shooter. The police officer lived, but the president did not.

Both are heroes and I'm glad they are being treated as such.
