Fox News:John Gibson Rove deserves a medal for outing Plame

[MSgt213]

FOX News anchor John Gibson just said onair that he thought Karl Rove deserves a medal if he outed Valerie Plame. Let me repeat: John Gibson, anchor at the FOX News Channel, says he believes that we ought to expose our covert government agents and harm national security… as long as it benefits Republicans.

These people are sick, and a danger to America.

1. John Gibson should be tried for treason.

This malcontent is dangerous.

2. Worse than sick....Treasonous and DISPICABLE

Puting others in MORTAL DANGER is good for the NATION??? Our AGENTS? Put them at risk is GOOD? WTF is THAT?

Beyond SICK....Terminal Delusion....

3. Oh my God that man is sick!

[Mojambo]

4. They've pretty much stopped pretending haven't they?

I haven't watched Fox in many months.

5. Here's a good link to the video

8. Wow.

Thanks for the link. That was breathtaking.

Starting with the premise that Valerie engineered sending him--something that's long since been disproved--Karl's a hero for showing the true stripes of America-hating, lily-livered obstructionists.

Gibson's a mega-asshole, and he'd suck the dick of power until the end of time. Good. Let people come out and show their deep ugliness now. These things will be thrown back in their faces.

The sheer clumsiness of these reactionary volleys are amazing.

14. "Valerie engineered sending him" - I've heard that all day long

from the mouths of right wing talking heads, one after another. I think we need to debunk that mantra very loudly and clearly.

6. John Gibson..........

is a fucking idiot. The assholes at FUX are spinning themselves sick trying to put lipstick on the Rove pig. It's getting comical over there. I can't watch it and I don't know how you can, but these ass clowns are completely losing it.
Could this portend the end of FUX News along with the bush White House? They've pretty much painted themselves into bush's corner. If bush goes down, so goes FUX. Who's knob would they have to polish if bush was impeached? They'd be totally screwed!

7. I never watch Fox News but this clip is a new low

I thought his comment about the London bombing/Paris Olympics was disgusting but this is even worse. I hope Jon Stewart airs this one too.

9. On a scale of 1 to 10

with Ann Coulter being a 1, I would rank Gibson about a 3. Hannity would be the #2 spot.

10. I wonder what the CIA thinks of this moran

They should call him out and ask for an apology. I wouldn't want to be on their chit list.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. This is the new RW talking point

Please click here and go down to the post starting with mine on July 12 at 8:43 pm EDT. That one expresses thoughts which I have been expressing on DU for days. However, the three posts that follow it, all written by the same Bush booster, counter with more or less the line that Gibson is taking in his commentary.

Well, the fact is that Gibson has his facts wrong. Saddam was not attempting to buy yellowcake from Africa. The Niger document was a forgery. And nothing else the Bush regime said in the run up to the war was true, so why should we believe them now?

[IggleDoer]

12. Sad thing is ...

He'll get the Presidential Medal of Freedom along with his pardon.

[FlyByNight]

13. If this occurred during a Democratic president's term...

he'd have been impeached by now.

Revealing Plame's identity compromised her work and exposed her contacts. I wonder how many deaths could be on Herr Rove's hands.

Rove is a vile, pudgy, amoral, machiavellian toad who, at the very least, should be fired and prosecuted.

Fuck you John for apologizing for Rove's behavior. I would say you ought to be ashamed of what you said but that would require a conscience and morals - traits you're clearly lacking.

:mad:

[KeepItReal]

15. I cannot believe that rat bastard. It is OK to blow a CIA agent's cover?

That you-fill-in-the-black Gibson forgets to mention that Joe Wilson was a former ambassador to Niger and had all the contacts needed to do the job.

He also forgets to mention that Wilson was a REPUBLICAN appointed by BUSH I.

He also does not mention that Wilson's wife's specialty was stopping proliferation of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. We should pay attention to what's going on here...

The wingnuts have been on point with the "Plame sent her husband to Niger" lie all day from all of their outlets, faux news being their biggest shill. They are "catapolting the propaganda" and that will soon become the major story, just like the swift boat crap. We have to scream NO. But more importantly, we have to bring the conversation back to the REAL STORY: ROVE.

[MadisonProgressive]

22. I'm still confused as why it makes any difference

who sent Wilson to Niger. Does that excuse outing a CIA agent?

[Julius Civitatus]

17. Remember: right-wing nuts said the same about Lee Harvey Oswald

after teh assassination of John F. Kennedy. It tells you the type of people we are dealing with here.

[ailsagirl]

18. Janeane Garofalo is going BALLISTIC over Gibson's comment...

They played the clip on Majority Report a few minutes ago and she
heard it for the first time and she was so upset she started yelling
about how un-effing-believable the whole thing is. She was apoplectic.

They're trying to get Gibson on the show-- hope they can.

[ArnoldLayne]

19. John Gibson needs to be arrested or have the living Shit kicked

out of him the evil fucking Bastard.

[Kittycat]

20. Maybe they can take him to gitmo, and...

Serve him the glazed chicken platter.

[Borgnine]

21. Is Fox News not even hiding it anymore?

Do they know that their reputation is so far gone that they're revealing themselves to be the true right-wing demons we've always known they were?

It just seems odd to me that how they're going about things now. Advocating the destruction of Paris, saying Rove deserves a medal for endangering the life of a CIA agent... sure, it's all from the same douchebag, but they're all of the same stock there anyway.

23. If Rove deserves one,

then Benedict Arnold deserves one posthumously.
