Fox News Anchor: "Thoughts? Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life 2 Keep Parents Silent

[cynatnite]

Heather Childers, a "straight news" anchor for the Fox News weekend program America's News Headquarters and co-host of Fox & Friends First, tweeted this afternoon: "Thoughts? Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life 2 Keep Parents Silent?" and linked to a blog post pushing a conspiracy involving the Obama campaign murdering, or threatening to murder, individuals to keep quiet questions about Obama's eligibility.

1. if FAUX were a responsible news organization she would either be suspended or fired.

[aquart]

5. Tell me again why they have an FCC license?

[Blue_Tires]

14. No one has the stones to actually pull it

iirc, there has only been a few cases where a license has been pulled...The only one I know of was an unabashed white separatist/KKK AM radio station, and even that was a long court battle...

[onenote]

38. Fox News doesn't have an FCC license

Its not a broadcast channel.

But licensed or not, this crazy loon needs to be fired.

[HughBeaumont]

6. Except they're very poor satire.

So . . . no apologies.

[mfcorey1]

2. This is desperation and some crazy s***. Memo to the right: it is a little early

for swiftboating.

[tabatha]

3. They never stop trying.

It is almost predictable.

[Chorophyll]

4. What the everloving f*ck.

Something is really, really wrong with these people.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. What is up with the eyes? It's always

the crazy eyes:

[fascisthunter]

16. no shit... we consistantly see this... drugs?

[SmileyRose]

39. Bless her heart.

Can you imagine what that woman spends on hair?

[freshwest]

42. I always think 'Look, another grey alien in disguise.' Wish they'd go back home already:

Remember, they always vote for their offworld overlords as represented by the GOP. Or something like that.

[Mike Nelson]

8. "straight news" anchor?

lol

[arcane1]

9. The word "thoughts" is totally out of place in that statement n/t

[frylock]

34. or her head

[Xipe Totec]

10. Thoughts? Did Heather Childers consort with the devil and sleep with animals to get a job at FOX?

No, of course not.

Who would think such a horrible thing...

[EFerrari]

32. Lmao.

[freshwest]

36. Did you see 'shaggles' reply? Hilarious. Mocked all the wingnut memes.

[Xipe Totec]

40. I JUST saw it!

The guy's got talent!

[freshwest]

41. Hey, let's memorialize it here on DU for eternity:

No no no. Vince Foster was programmed to assassinate Hillary to prevent her from running against Obama in 2008 (it was all planned years ago.) Bill found out and triggered the suicide program embedded in Foster's neocortex. George Soros was so mad he got Saul Alinsky and Frances Scott Piven to go after Chelsea but they killed Paul Wellstone by mistake. After that Rev Wright was assigned to keep an eye on the youngest Clinton until he got the order from Obama to snuff her. True story.

[Supersedeas]

43. bona fides

[bigdarryl]

11. The Obama's should sue her dumb ass

[frogmarch]

12. Just when I thought

Fox News couldn't sink any lower.

Something needs to be done with Fox.

[ohheckyeah]

13. Yes, I'm sure that's

exactly what happened, just like the Clintons had a long list of people killed.

[GoCubsGo]

17. One would think...

...that for people who allegedly have such a long list of murder victims in their wake, that the Clintons would prefer to use this alleged information AGAINST the Obama campaign, rather than allowing him to threaten them into covering it up. This has got to be THE most stupid thing to come out of that network in eons.

[Aerows]

19. Its ludicrous

The Clinton's STILL have Secret Service protection since Bill Clinton was President, and Hillary Clinton was a Senator. Only a complete dumb ass would believe that a Senator (which Obama was at the time they are claiming this crap) could threaten a former President and Senator and get away with it.

[arcane1]

35. But he has the POWER of Kenya and the USSR and Castro backing him up!

Obama was the most powerful human on the planet while still a first-term senator!!

Don't you SEE???

[ohheckyeah]

29. Truly - n/t

[yardwork]

15. That is disgraceful. /nt

[Aerows]

18. Disgraceful

Who believes that Senator Obama could threaten Senator Clinton and President Clinton? The Clinton's are incredibly powerful, and I have no doubt the entire family still has Secret Service protection.

Only a complete and total idiot would think that a Senator could threaten another Senator and an ex-President of the United States. That's so laughable on its face that you would have to be crazy to believe something like that.

[DURHAM D]

23. I don't believe any Clinton had protection other than Bill.

not that it really matters

Like you I think the story is batshit crazy.

[Aerows]

27. President Clinton and his wife

Have lifetime Secret Service protection. Clinton is the last President to receive this because in 1997 it was limited to 10 years, but he and Hillary have lifetime protection.

[hifiguy]

20. Do they put meth and hallucinogens in the water coolers

at Faux Snooze? I can think of few other explanations.

[wandy]

21. Any takers as to how long it's going to take the freepers to start carrying on with the...,.

It's true. It's true! It was on fox. Hears a link to the Townhall article.
Another wingnut urban myth is born.

[CJCRANE]

22. Thoughts? #HeatherChilders is nuts nt.

[Jamastiene]

24. That is beyond messed up.

[Johnny2X2X]

25. Seriously?

At any other news agency she would have been fired for this. This needs to be spread around.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. No that's all backwards.

It was the Clintons who were doing the murdering. They tossed the bodies into that lake in Arkansas.

[Initech]

28. Fox News: No seriously we're just making this shit up as we go along.

[Autumn]

30. "Thoughts? From an empty headed idiot Fox "news anchor"

They at fox couldn't think a thought if they had a fucking pattern to go by.

[NeverEnuff]

31. Childers

Bat shit crazy!!!

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. Did you see what the shithead followed up with?

Thoughts??? Supreme Court: Authenticity of Obama's birth certificate "cause for concern" http://shar.es/pLIQJ

That is a misleading 'headline', via an Examiner distortion, and World Nut Daily, of an Alabama judge allegedly referring to the Sheriff Arpaio crap. But the Fox News anchor wants it to look like it was the US Supreme Court.

How the fuck can anyone like that remain employed at a 'news' station?

[SomethingFishy]

37. Fox is already in damage control mode

Update on Media Matters:

"In a statement to Mediaite, Fox News senior vice president for news Michael Clemente said, "The tweets have been addressed with Heather and she understands this was a mistake."


The fact that she is not a commentator but a "news anchor" makes this even worse. That this kind of off the deep end, few cards short of a deck, missing a few marbles, name your metaphor, conspiracy theory is being promoted by a "fair and balanced" news organization is disgusting.
