This afternoon it was reported that Attorney General Eric Holder was admitted to a Washington, D.C. hospital after feeling faint and short of breath. Subsequent reports say that he is resting comfortably and conversing with his doctors.
However, in yet another example of the repugnant and hateful community that Fox News fosters on their Fox Nation website, comments posted there openly express their hope that his ailment results in suffering and eventual death. These sentiments are nothing new for a community that has also prayed for the death of Sen. Harry Reid, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and, of course, President Obama. And these are the so-called “patriots” who claim to be guided by the compassion and tolerance of their alleged Christian faith.
Here is a representative selection of the comments posted with the article announcing Holder’s condition. The vile nature of this congregation of haters is self-evident.
Eric Holder is hospitalized – and a tiny handful of morons hope that he dies. Gee, I’m scared.
These idiots remind me of Ted Rall and Greg Palast. Those are two prominent left-wingers who celebrated when Ronald Reagan passed away.
That’s just one web site and I doubt there’s only a tiny handful. Many adjectives come to my mind and scared is not one of them. I’m in no way saying all conservatives, republicans, or even tea party patriots share the despicable sentiments of wishing AG Holders death. What does it say about Fox Nation to allow hate comments of that nature on their site. Now stating that there are some on the Left make hateful comments too, does not justify what’s going on right now on the Right. ” Shallow understanding from people of
good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more
bewildering than outright rejection.” DR. Martin Luther King Jr.
Indeed. Fear would only rear its ugly head if any of these like-minded, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing water heads ever actually made it to the White House. Then it would be time for me to pack my bags and head to someplace less potentially oppressive, like the Sudan or Afghanistan! (note to mouth-breathers: hyperbole for effect, okay? I’d probably just move to Canada. Or Cuba.)
I agree with your “well you did it, too!” point, too, UNLESS it’s still relevant. For example, “W”s policies and actions while in office, not to mention the toxic atmosphere his administration created, were so horrific that “blaming” him may actually be relevant for years to come.
Wow A. More Modest Proposal. How provocative it’s like choosing between a Pinot or Merlot
“…does not justify what’s going on…”
Agreed. I’m just pointing out how Mark tends to ignore the filth emanating from his camp.
Speaking of filth: Check out the comments below.
I celebrated when Reagan died, and I’ll do the same when his puppetmaster, Bush41 finally joins him. Thousands of Americans suffered and died of AIDS because Reagan ignored it for years, until Rock Hudson and others got sick and Liz Taylor called him out. I celebrate for the suffering and death the 2 of tehm caused, trading arms to our enemy (treason) Iran, while simultaneously giving chemical weapons, alng with development and deployment technology to Iraq, and using the money from these illegal sales to overthrow the government of Nicaragua; to put the military dictator Somoza back in power…a failure, and one that would haunt them.
Gosh, I was happy when Nixon,Regan and Bush were no longer presidents but I didn’t want to see them dead. That’s a little harsh.
Considering all the suffering, terrible and violent death they’re responsible for, it’s barely just.
This post is evil. Flat-out wicked and evil.
Ronald Reagan? That mentally-addled, muslim terrorist-loving, cut-and-run Chickenhawk, tax-raising, Soviet coddling, war criminal, destroyer of the Social Safety Net, quisling of the Rich, and tool of the Plutocrats? Yeah, it was too bad that his Alzheimer’s didn’t incapacitate him earlier.
This post is also evil.
Oh it’s evil to be angry with this Reagan?
Two separate Terrorist Attacks in Beirut in 1983. On April 18, 1983 the Beirut Embassy Car Bombing killed 17 Embassy personnel (and 46 Lebanese) and the follow on Truck Bombing attack 6 months later on October 23, 1983 at the US Barracks in Beirut killed 241 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors. These happened because the Terrorists knew the Embassy Marine Guards were specifically barred by Ronald Reagan from having ammo at their posts.
Or the Reagan that pioneered Dog-Whistle politics, by telling poor and middle class whites that the government was giving their tax dollars to “Young Bucks” to buy “T-Bone Steaks”?
Yeah, both you and Reagan can rot.
More lies and hate from the radical left. Mark’s point is falling apart.
Ignorance of history can be addressed, willful ignorance is terminal, Scott. What you call the “Radical Left”, in reality, is simply educated and informed…by reading news and history, rather than nodding along, listening to opinion and commentary.
“…simply educated and informed…”
Bovine excrement. The radical left is full of hate and wouldn’t know truth if it crawled up and bit them.
More false equivalence from a paid Fox troll.
Another lie from the radical left. Nobody pays me to state my opinion.
MSNBC, apologize for this PRONTO
I’m not sure why the far right hates the A.G. so much other then the fact that he is African-American. I’m not aware that he has crossed them in any other way.
Typical of the haters who are addicted to the Fox Nazi Channel.
these are comments from some of the idiots that watch FOX not the network/news or it’s representatives on TV right? Despite my dislike for FOX news, I don’t hold them accountable for the comments idiots post. There are plenty of liberal idiots who post these same kinds of hateful comments. So pretty much a sensationalized piece of crap “journalism” and just as bad as the people who posted the comments IMO.
You’re missing the point, it’s not ‘fox news did this’. Read it again. ‘However, in yet another example of the repugnant and hateful community that Fox News fosters on their Fox Nation website…’
How can there be so much hatred in people? This reminds me of the 60s with the racial bigotry, the killing of four little black girls in a Birmingham church, setting the dogs on people in Selma. Just because you disagree with someone does not mean you have the right to be so mean spirited. BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY, THAT OLD ADAGE FROM THE 60s “CHANGES IS GONNA COME” DESPITE HATE AND BIGOTRY.

Apparently Fox News won’t let you post comments to their website. If anyone knows how please do so.
looked all over every where, the above blog line is fake. And most of the names weren’t found on Fox, anywhere Another interesting outcome I’ve noticed, every time a new scandal comes up…a bunch of people quit or retire! Or is it just me…
