Fox anchor calls for car bombings in Iran

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade:

"Could we start arming the anti-government groups inside Iran; could their cars start blowing up like our Humvees - maybe in Tehran, so they wouldn't be doing it in Baghdad?"

Says the General he's interviewing:

"Yeah absolutely -"

- and suddenly the satellite signal is lost.

Video after the fold ...

Wow.  Could you imagine a Democrat, or anyone in the "liberal" media saying such a thing?  Imagine the response if that were to happen.  But I haven't even found that this has been mentioned here on Dailykos yet.

Just like the fact that Bushco actually is already supporting terrorist organizations in Iran.  That barely made a ripple.

I suppose "it's okay if you're our terrorist".  

John Bolton sure has no problem supporting with terrorists, as long as they're on "our" side.  

One thing for Fokkks News.  Sometimes they just aren't subtle at all.  Their true colors can be blinding.

  •  Brian Kilmeade is a Doocy-bag.

    He's trying to dethrone Hannity as Fox New's dumbest talking head.

    •  Trying? I'd say he's way ahead in the

      dunce's race.

    •  By "Doocy-bag"...

      Do you mean the amount of time he spends in front of a mirror in the morning? I can see that.

  •  If it was posted before

    it's worth saying again.

    Fox has no business advocating terror, anywhere.

    by JDWolverton on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:50:03 PM PDT

    •  Nobody does, JD.

      And you can bet that this twit and his bosses are very big on the "Christian nation" mythology. What I want to know is, what part of "Do unto others..." do they not understand?

  •  Tipped and recced.

    And we are supposed to be surprised by torture advocacy.  Here's a call for terror right over our air without a single dissenting voice.

•  If you'll click on the Brian Kilmeade tag in your

  diary, you'll see more diaries proving that he's been spouting off radical crap for quite some time now.

  to pilot the first car bombing./snark

•  Arming Terrorists

  How nice. We already armed Mek (according to a private meeting that I had with Wes Clark).

  by owl06 on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:19:55 PM PDT

  •  And

    The MEK is being used to channel false "intelligence" about Iran and its supposed nuclear weapons program.

    •  The UN

      Did find evidence that they were experimenting with methods to enrich uranium. it's not all bunk.

      by owl06 on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:37:44 PM PDT

      •  Civil program

        Uranium enrichment is needed for a civilian program which the Iranians are entitled to develop under the non-proliferation treaty. That required for military purposes has to be enriched to a far greater degree.

        Please cite the IAEA inspectorate report in which they have found evidence of enrichment facilities necessary for military purposes and are not merely reporting that they have received allegations of it.

        •  Here are a Few Links

          http://findarticles.com/...
          http://www.iht.com/...
          Why would traces of highly enriched uranium be found if they were simply exploring a program for energy? That is the part that I don't understand.

          by owl06 on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 03:13:23 PM PDT

          •  Not proven

            It is not from an IAEA official report but a leak of information from a "a Western diplomat accredited to the UN agency". They then quote a second diplomat who confirms the finding but adds that there could be other explanations besides weapons grade enrichment.

            They then quote positions alleged to have been stated by the Iranian President and make the usual mistake or deliberate error of not explaining that he does not have the power to instigate such a program.

•  What geniuses there are at Fox!

  Bombing certain sites in Iran is apparently not enough for this particular crowd of macho men - a murderous campaign of terror against the Iranian population is. It's tough to achieve this particular level of assclownery without having a little something special going on inside your head.

  Kudos to Fox for being brave enough to say that mass murder is a legitimate form of diplomacy. Very special.

  by Splicer on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:23:43 PM PDT

•  Sadly, this is not the most shocking thing Fox

  News has said, seems to be a weekly thing for them, even daily.

  by SensibleDemocrat on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:25:05 PM PDT

•  In fact

    The Bush administration may be funding a terrorist group, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, that has conducted bombings in Tehran.  They were Iraqi clients for a long time; then, when the US Army took over Iraq, instead of breaking them up, the occupation administration said "these guys might be useful to us some day" and kept them going. I don't know what their current status is, but it's possible that their camps are still being funded by the Defense Department.

  •  Diary

    I wrote and extensive diary on the MEK and the various groups that comprise it.

    They also run web sites with anti-Iranian propaganda which sometimes get quoted on here so be careful to check any sources.

•  wow -- just great

  i just watched War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2007) and Faux News is sooooo guilty of spinning us into a war!

•  He is advocating blowing up kids!

  If Iranian anchors suggested that they are dissidents in the US and blow up people in DC, would we call for a strike against them?

  My God!

•  Well

  I saw the clip and the satellite link cuts off before the guest can finish his comment.

  by oceanstar17 on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:34:06 PM PDT

  •  the satellite link cuts off?

    is this just a coincidence, or an example of censorship?  Could be that the content was too "hot" for someone.

    by Thomas Twinnings on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 04:34:15 PM PDT

•  So, Mr. Kilmeade...

  When the car bombs that we set up in Iran kill and mutilate dozens of innocent men, women and children... will that qualify as terrorism?

  Or should these people just accept their families' slaughter / dismemberment because the Americans did it -- and everyone knows that America is good?

  America IS a great country, and we don't deserve fascist traitors like Brian Kilmeade, or the rest of the Fox News neo-Maoist GOP propaganda machine.  They're un-American.

  by chumley on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:40:46 PM PDT

•  You know, if the rest of the world

  thinks that Fox News is representative, of what America thinks, we may end up getting bombed into non-existence. The world cannot afford to have this much insanity around, and with nuclear weapons too.

  •  how much distribution

    does FoxNews have outside the USA? (I'd like the answer to be "none".)

    A decade ago, I thought discovering that Gilligan's Island reruns were distributed outside the US (from a German non-fan) was embarrassing. Little did I know. . .

    by alizard on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 03:06:56 PM PDT

•  What an idiot.

  In the same way Hugo Chavez went ballistic when Pat Robertson asked to assassinate him, Iran could use this as major provocation.

  by bhagamu on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:44:58 PM PDT

  •  That's asking alot

    of Iran to legitimize Fucksnews.

    by Patriot4peace on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 02:54:39 PM PDT

•  that Fox morning show is actually the worst part

  of the entire network.  Under the guise of a light and fluffy morning show, they can call for terrorism and sneer at democratics as a "joke".  It's much more vile than anything else on cable.

  by Inland on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 03:21:47 PM PDT

•  I mentioned Abu Ghraib in class the other day

  and a student piped up "You can't call that torture, not compared to what they do to our troops."

  wonder why we call them the far right lunatic fringe. That is insane.

  by RustyBrown on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 05:36:32 PM PDT

•  OK. So tell me again

  how we got into this mess to begin with.  We knocked off the democratically elected president of Iran way back when and set this whole fiasco in motion.  Now we are back to Iran with some fool calling for car bombs?  Honest to God, I don't know what has come over us. We not only spawn people like this; we give them an international media forum from which to spout their insanity.  Actually, what he was saying and the way he was saying it made him sound like a pathetic Rush wannabee.

  by luckylizard on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 05:55:38 PM PDT

  •  That's the truly astounding thing

    is that fools like this, like Glenn Beck, are given a national, top-tier forum in which to espouse their literally insane viewpoints.  

    It just boggles the mind.  These guys are as lunatic as any jihadist calling for the destruction of Israel, or anything like that.
