In their purposeful attempt to deceive, the Fox Nationalists failed to provide any details of what actually occurred, including the fact that the alleged <em>&#8220;beauty queen&#8221;<\/em> Gamez was reported to have been armed and fighting with the criminals in the drug cartel and was likely killed by the Mexican military.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?t=newscorpsecom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B00A8PD694&#038;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>Nevertheless, Fox portrays her only as a <em>&#8220;beauty queen&#8221;<\/em> and not as a drug trafficker, and accuses Attorney General Eric Holder of murdering her. There is no evidence that any gun associated with the ATF or <em>&#8220;Fast and Furious&#8221;<\/em> was responsible for her death, particularly in light of the fact that any such weapons would have been in the possession of her drug-running accomplices, not the law enforcement agents they were fighting.<\/p>\n<p>So to answer Fox&#8217;s question: No, neither Holder nor his <em>&#8220;crew&#8221;<\/em> killed a beauty queen. However, a more accurate version of the story might have said that a shootout with the Mexican military may have resulted in the death of a female drug trafficker and her comrades.<\/p>\n<p>Fox really had to stretch reality to turn this into an assault on Obama&#8217;s Attorney General. And they also had to turn a member of a drug cartel into a sexy fallen hero. But that&#8217;s what Fox does. It&#8217;s only purpose is to malign their ideological enemies and decorate their distortions with lechery and melodrama. I can almost see the next Fox headline about the Sandy Hook killer, Adam Lanza: Obama Attacks Recently Deceased, Mentally-Challenged, 20 Year Old Orphan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ignorant fables spun by the Fox Nationalists have frequently coasted off the rails of sanity.
