Fox News: Obama 'answers to the Quran first and to the Constitution second'

By: Robert Sobel

Fox News has once again appealed to the radical base of the Republican party, this time bringing back the "Obama is a Muslim" rhetoric that has gone on since the 2008 election.

<...>

Fox News followed Romney's lead, blaming President Obama for the attacks in Libya and the protests in the Middle East. During Monday's edition of "The Five," the panel was discussing the anti-Islamic film, "The Innocence of Muslims," and the filmmaker's criminal history. In response to the filmmaker's recent interview with federal authorities, co-host Eric Bolling took it upon himself to state that President Obama puts the Quran ahead of the U.S. Constitution.

“America changed at that moment. To use what is being called a flimsy ploy to bring this guy in for questioning proves that the Obama administration, through all this appeasement and apologizing, answers to the Quran first and to the Constitution second.


Co-host Bob Beckel quickly fired back at Boling, calling his comments "outrageous" and Bolling later tried to walk back his statement.

As RobMe goes down in flames they are fanning the flames of Obama hatred to rile up the loony wingnuts. They are treading into very dangerous territory.

Obama can't fly either. After all the promises, he still can't fly on his own.

she had a segment about how FOX News is now almost completely out of step with a large portion of the Republican media regarding Romney. In brief, the angle was that FOX steadfastedly refused to air any negative comments or stories about Romney's campaign whereas other right-wing media outlets were starting to regularly tear into the campaign and candidate.

Based on Laura Ingraham's meltdown on FOX and Friends today insisting the fundraiser tape was a molehill and irrelevant (contrary to what other conservative pundits were saying) and Bolling's idiocy it looks like the segment was onto something.

...I'm getting pretty scared of what is happening in our country. This election may take us to a new level of hate and discord....especially after Obama winds.

but you go right ahead and protect Fox's right to incite that.

(not you personally to the OP, just some others here that think it's worth it, makes me just fuming fucking angry)

This is what their last card is, and we have weeks to go.
just watch.
