Chris Wallace, probably the only Fox News anchor with any degree of journalistic integrity, told Shepard Smith the blogger who interrupted President Obama's immigration speech was "outrageous" and said, "I don’t think the guy should be allowed back in the White House on a press pass, and my guess is he won’t be." Watch it.
Not to mention the O'Reilly interview in which he interruped the President some 32 times.

Hey folks, remember "YOU LIE" during the President's State of the Union speech?
Remember "We will *break him* from Sen Demented??
Remember the constant petty interruptions from Joe the Bear on FOX's "interview" (read: grilling) of the President?
Remember the witch governor from AZ sticking her ugly finger in the President's FACE??
Remember the teabagger Hitler and Witch Doctor signs??
This is just the latest in a continuation of the bigotry and hatred on the right manifesting itself.

So is Fox going to fire Chris Wallace? Had Bush been interrupted like that, two large guys wearing sunglasses would have escorted the idiot heckler out. This anything goes attitude on having a public smack down with the President of the U.S.is a sad commentary on our times.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads on here.
President Obama has been a very good role model as a father, alot better than some we have had in the White House.
I may not speak for all fathers, but I think one duty that either parent has to their children is to teach them that nothing in this life is a given. That to whom much is given much is expected. Like military service. Like volunteerism and community service. And I am not talking about just within your own little comfortable church atmosphere.
I am talking about getting outside your comfort zone. Doing like Princess Diana did and taking her sons to the wrong side of the tracks and showing them that there is more to life than wealth and privilege. Both sons, despite their wealth and status, have served honorable in the military, Harry even serving in the war zone in Afghanistan on active duty. They both go to Africa often and help to do things like build schools, and hospitals.
What about your sons Mitt? You've got 5 of them. In three generations not one Romney has served their country in military service. Yet all 3 generations have enjoyed the wealth and privilege that this "greatest country on earth" as they call it has afforded them. They wave those flags, they sing God Bless America at campaign events, they wax poetic about our great "free enterprise system".
Hey Mitt, hasn't anyone ever told you that nothing in life is free? Especially this "great" country that you so constantly refer to? It came at a price, that price included the blood of young lives sacrificed for the greater good of saving our country from tyranny and oppression.
Mitt your words are really empty unless you yourself or anyone in your family is willing to help pay that price. You are there to cash in on the spoils for sure. Your wealth is an example of that.
Not only have you not done that or your father or your sons, you are trying to set this country on a path that will severely punish the very people that DID make that sacrifice.
I don't know how you look yourself in the mirror. Do you think that earning the job as President and Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States is something that comes just from occupying space in a Governor's chair? You say Obama should have been a governor?? Well you sir should have been alot of things that you weren't. That road goes both ways.
The President has something you don't. Experience running or trying to run this country. And in an atmosphere full of tyrants and economic Benedict Arnolds.
You don't earn the respect of the people or their votes simply by knocking "the other guy". You do it by example.
And guess what Mitt, a majority of Americans see you as an out of touch rich guy who avoids paying taxes, pays favor to his wealthy friends, turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the incumbent President when he is deluged with racial slurs and rudeness. By your silence you show complicity with those that are denigrating the President. You also did the same thing with women. You just refused to acknowledge or address the horrendous insults.
You don't earn the office of the Presidency by simply being "not the other guy". It's a long time til November. You haven't learned any real lessons so far. I doubt that will change.

I can't give Chris wallace or any reporter from Fox network any slack. They simply said what was politically correct. When have you ever known Fox reporters to tell the truth? They were afraid of the backlash......
Where is Romneys family vaues? It's Fathers Day and he is campaigning a cross battleground states........well president Obama did silence him for 6 hours after annoucing he was immediately stopping deportation of young immigrants. It took Romney and his geek squad writers 6 hours to come up with, "what the president has done will make it harder for immigrants to become citizens."
Really???? How is that Mittens???? you say everything about President Obama is wrong but you never explain why or how it is wrong...that is because THE PRESIDENT ISN'T WRONG.......YOU ARE THE ONE WRONG ROMNEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron...Happy Fathers Day...

Chris Wallace even said he and others like Sam Donaldson would yell questions at a president, but they waited to have the president finish his statements. I and you all see this all the time as the president walks away the reporters as yelling questions even when they know they wont be answered. They show all presidents respect and they respected the office even if they dont like the man. These people know nothing of the history of this country and the respect you give its officals. You may dislike the man or woman but give respect to the offfice. The new rule is RUDE.
These so called reporters are nothing but clowns who dont show the respect not only to the person, the office, or their profession. This guy shouldnt be kept out of the news pool as you know the right will scream this president is against the 1st amendment. The clown mcconnell is saying that the citizens united is good and the disclose act is wrong as it will cause poitical harassment. He is saying it is ok to tell lies, slander people, and do it without having to put you name to these acts. We see this going on and they are hiding their acts under the citizens united and phony 501C4.The 501C4 can lobby and campain but their main reason has to be for the public good and welfare. The disclose was passed in the house to make these 501C4s to show who donates, but mitch the twitch mc CON nell and his phony senators filibusted the bill. Are they so afraid that people will rise up against them because the masses will see how the wealthy and the corporations are buying our government no matter of party. Yes there are dems who take massive amounts of money from these people, but the tea baggers=gop are the biggest group to benifit from these groups. Nobody can tell me freedom works. cross roads gps, alec, citizen united, and even many religious groups that are funded by people like rove, the kochs, the big corporations and the wealthy are interested in the welfare of the average american. If america doesnt wake up now they will wake up in the future living in a soylent green world which wont be a movie but real life. Remember soylent green IT'S THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
just my humble view....
PS I would like to add to the citizens united if the wealthy and the corporations have the guts to put money into a super pac they should have the guts to stand up and say yes I support ?????. They are cowards who hide behind these phony 501c4s

It was good to see some on the right disagree with what Munro did at the President's Press Conference on Friday. Gov. Brewer of AZ also condemned the actions as well. I think that they are getting some push back from the moderate Republicans who tend to be more civilized and are tired of being associated with the far right radicals in their party. Hopefully it will filter up to Romney and those on his bus who heckled the President in Ohio last week. Problem is that those who disrespect others have a problem with themselves as well.

well, some of it goes back to how you are brought up. If you grow up rude, and without manners then you will be that way forever. That is what you are. Chris Wallace, is Mike Wallace's son. I think he is fair and not rude, and that is what it is all about!
