Fox’s Shep Smith Goes Off On Gov’t Over Failure To Protect Libyan Consulate (When you lose Shep)
Mediaite ^ | October 10th, 2012 | Andrew Kirell

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith let his outrage fly this afternoon on Studio B, as he angrily chided the federal government for not increasing security abroad even after intelligence officials learned that there was a plot to murder American emissaries.

Speaking via satellite with security expert Rick Nelson, Smith repeatedly raised his voice — not at Nelson, but at the subject overall.

“What is interesting to me and might be interesting to the people at home watching as some of them with their jaws dropped is that, first of all, the man who is in charge of the security detail there has said from the beginning in the testimony that we don’t have the security need for our Americans whom we sent over there to serve us,” he said as his voice began to rise.

“Then the terrorists struck us at that spot in Benghazi. But no one told us about it. And then they put on Facebook they would attack again. And no one told us about it. And then they attacked again and they told us it was not an attack, it was a looking at video and they got excited,” he continued in a shouting voice. “Something ain’t right… Are all of our people sitting ducks?”

Security? What security? Why should we worry about security?

We have had an enigma in the WH for more that three years who has not been vetted, who we know very little of, and who has access to the nuclear football.

Duh.

.
If we do not make the right choices in November, it will be a picture the USA being dragged through the street instead of a US ambassador.

I usually watch during my lunch hour and they were showing live feed from the house. It then went back to Shep and when he made his comments I turned it over to C-Span to get the unfiltered version.

At the least; Hillary's political future should be completely finished.

The former "first lady" should do the right thing and resign!

Wow the part of the title that goes “when you lose Shep” nails it. If the down-low Obama has lost his fellow “slims” sufferer, he’s lost completely—his ineptness has caught up with him finally.

Terrorism money can’t buy liberals a brain and loyality. It can’t make them care about American life.

The other thing I am tired of is “don’t assign blame.”
Well if pc government officials are not worried about their own skin in the game, they surely don’t give a hoot about the lives they are supposed to be protecting from jihadists! Assign blame and nail those responsible to the wall - top, down. Religion of peace is a lie and it’s killing us.

The guy Shep interviewed was totally unprepared to discuss the matter. He’s nothing more than a political money man. Shep has his panties in a wad because the dead guy is a gay ambassador. He’s not so worried about his liberal pals setting up jihadists to murder our troops on their bases.

I did think it comical they tried to blame Romney...you know they wish Romney was the incumbent so they’d have someone else to blame for the last four years.

Oh, I love it when Shep gets “fussy” and “outraged!”
