Shepard Smith is sounding the alarm.

The wingnuts are going crazy...


Fox News' Shepard Smith's pretty well known -- and oft praised -- for
the way he can size up a news event and expose his own authentic
concern without seeming mawkish or phony. And in the wake of today's
shooting at the Holocaust Museum, Smith went on the air today to talk
about the emails he's been receiving for "the past few months," and
how they've been getting "more and more frightening."

SMITH: There are people now, who are way out there on a limb. And I
think they're just out there on a limb with the email they send us.
Because I read it, and they are out there. I mean, out there in a
scary place...I could read a hundred of them like this...I mean from
today. People who are so amped up and so angry for reasons that are
absolutely wrong, ridiculous, preposterous."

He went on to read an email, filled with the usual paranoid "birther"
nonsense, which included an admonishment to Smith. "This is, I
promise, a representative sample of the kind of things that we get
here," Smith said.

Time will tell if Smith's colleagues at Fox stop taking these sorts of
emails casually. Smith clearly could do that no longer.

Taking them casually? Fox encourages them. O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, et
al, are there to whip the simpies up into a frenzy, with the hope that
mayhem will result. Fox is the helter-skelter network.

Yeah...they'd drive to a church and kill a doctor or a guard at a museum.

There have been these kind and other events for ever.
We never heard about many of them because they were not around where we
live.
since the advent of 24/7 news available, to every corner, from every
corner, it is placing an emotional load on everyone. After a constant
barrage many start to internalize and view the events as next door or
down the street. There are a whole lot of people on edge, nervous,
depressed, and strained by all the these events.
Sensational Journalism of death and destruction draw audiences and thus
advertising dollars. It doesn't matter how many Laws or security
restrictions are placed on society it will still happen. There is a huge
population now and even the lowest percentage is an alarming number.
We have passed or on the advent of massive monitoring of Americans by
every technological snooping device we have created. We are and will see
less freedom, unless we start reversing it and it won't stop a lone nut
in a museum.
I have talked to a lot, of folks, that are experiencing a lot, of stress
because of what is happening these days. Everybody is taking on this
stress.
this guy developed a radical bias and kept building on it until he was
89 years old. A Guard died but he was doing his job and taking the
associated risk.The other Guards did what they were supposed to to stop
him as quick as they could detect the problem.
Forget about it and move on. Turn the damned news from Timbuktu off.
We have enough problems around where we live to worry about 2000 miles away.

Old folks have time on their hands, so are susceptible to getting
riled up by the cable agitators.
Hard to believe how they fall for some of that stuff.
I'd say they're stupid, but it's not really that. My dad's pretty
smart, but he believes everything they say on Fox News.
A BIL has a big touch of that from the other side, and they send nasty
e-mails to each other and fight over dinner.
Pretty funny if you ain't there seeing it.
Think it's more a product of not having your own identity, and letting
others identify you then it is a product of brains.
Saw something about the recent wacko being a Mensa member.
I have a lot more fun talking with the kids, because they pretty much
don't care about politics, being more interested in plain work and
fun.
Raised my kids to think for themselves, and not to trust anybody to do
their thinking for them.
Only bigotry I taught them is to be pro-Chevy, pro-pushrod and
anti-foreign car and OHC.
Couple of the girls rejected me, one going Mitsu, and the other
Hyundai.
One of the boys turned Jeep/Chrysler.
Hard to influence them when they leave home.
Still love 'em though, even with those faults.
But my will leaves everything to my son who stayed with Chevys.
Fair is fair.

More power to your dad. At least he has the sense to watch more than

You liberals berate Fox, but fail to mention where the news presented
by Fox has been erroneous.
