Sen. Menendez was just on Fox on Cavuto's show. Cavuto took Menendez to the woodshed regarding Obama's insane plan to raise taxes by over a trillion dollars to pay for the already announced Reid-Pelosi-Obama butchering of the US economy once they're in power. Cavuto noted that Reid-Pelosi have already announced the insane multi-trillion dollar tax increase to pay for their litany of insane leftist programs, including bankrupting politically incorrect businesses, hugely increasing foreign aid to socialist hell holes, destroying the coal and nuclear power industries, and raising taxes on "the rich" (anyone making more than $42K/year).
Cavuto then went through each of Obama's tax proposals regarding businesses and personal income. Mmemendez, robot-like, with that glazed donut expression we have come to associate with all Obama droids, tried to tell Cavuto that Cavuto was wrong in criticizing The One's plan for utopia. Cavto was having none of it, and, item by item, showed how Menendez/Obama were just lying or just plain stupid. Mmenendez did not like this. After several minutes of Menendez trying to give an Obama stump speech about Evil Business and how The One would destroy business "for the good of the middle class," Menendez finally lost that glassy smile and, as Cavuto gave him one more spanking on still another Obama idiocy, turned to Cavuto and said, "I hope you are not one of the ones forced off the air" (when we pass the Fairness Doctrine, which had been the previous topic).
My wife and I were astonished. The election hasn't happened yet and the Democrat Thugs are already issuing threats. Par for the Obama course.
It’s coming.
BTTT
Uh oh. Cavuto is gonna get plumbed.
Yes! I watched that! Also, notice how he absolutely REFUSED to answer the question regarding the 40% who won’t be paying income tax?
If this is one of Obama’s foot soldiers, I weep for our future should he win the presidency.
What was Cavuto’s reaction? How can the fairness doctrine affect cable news? and if anything it would affect MSNBC, CNN, etc., the Obama networks... but this SHOULD send a chill up everyone’s spine.
Sounds like a huge threat, in fact.
Liberals deserve it in the butt.
I hope the public is really listening to what’s being said.
What state is Menendez from?
Yep, the threats from the new Politburo are on the record huh.
The left should rest assured. They are not the only ones who can make lists.
I thought he said something about going to another network.
Either way, Melendez is an idiot. He refused to concede that Reagan’s top marginal rate of 28% is less than Clinton/Obama’s 39%.
Menendez is the biggest crook in NJ and that is saying a lot.
Jersey.
I need that transcript. How long does it take for transcripts to become available?
The question is what comes first at this point? The roundups? The outbreak of civil war? I mean wow! they’ve abandoned all pretense of civility. Hang on folks...win or lose I do not see this ending quickly or happily.
wow.....these guys mean business.....
FOX has already bent over backwards for the dims.
That won’t be good enough for these thugs.
If anyone dares to cross them...
Cavuto should have stopped right there and said “There you have it America, already threatening us with the Fairness Doctrine” just and the election is not even over yet!”
Noo Joizy
Hope they turn this into an TV ad and Robo call tonight!
These people make me sick!! Be prepared to take to Washington with pitchforks if these Thugs get elected. I don’t plan on watching my country turned into a totaliterian socialist hell hole sitting down!!
W O W !
They aren’t threats! This is EXACTLY what they plan on doing...
Those lefties sure like to threaten.
Anyone have a link to the video?
And people don’t see this coming? Amazing.
The way it’s written, “news” organizations are not subject to the “fairness”.
This is to protect the MSM’s ability to continue to push leftist propaganda.
Fox News is a special case, however. I can see some bureaucrat “ruling” that Fox News is an opinion program, and thus subject to “fairness”.
Can someone else directly confirm that’s what Menendez said? Is there video somewhere?
Menendez was infuriated by Cavuto because Cavuto made him look like the fool that he is. Neil cleaned his clock!
I’ll need to remember to fill my gas tank...
i think new jersey, so it’s not an idle threat. what this shows is
that lose or win, conservatives have got to fight back more fiercely
than ever. do not watch any news other than local or fox. only read
community newspapers. learn things about news people you don’t like.
do not support businesses that support dems as much as that is possible.
tell cold calling charities after obama’s inauguration(if that happens,) they’ll
have to rely on others due to your new lack of discretionary funds.....
No....We Mean Business!
Looks like we really might be heading to a second revoltion? Pitchforks and torches anyone?
Let’s tell him what we think of his veiled threats folks:

“I hope you are not one of the ones forced off the air”

Send this guy back to Cuba. We don’t tolerate that crap here. Seems like anyone can get elected into the senate these days.
It sounded like he said he would just take himself off air. I guess rather than have them kick him off.
Menendez can’t get away with threatening people like that. We’re not a banana republic yet. These damn Democrats should be taken to the woodshed.
ROFLMAO -- that's a keeper.
America is in for some bad sledding.
Notice Menendez slipped up and told the truth.
The “fairness doctrine” is being pushed on everyone with the idea that “opposing viewpoints will be presented”, when the reality (and intent) of it is to “force you off the air”.
Menedez slipped.
This is something I’ve been praying for - that the left will let the mask drop and inadvertantly tell the truth about their intentions.
I was watching this interview but had to leave the room for the safety of my TV. Menendez was absolutely clueless, but resolutely so. He had no idea what he was talking about - mixing up cap gains and income tax rates over and over again. Missed the threat part but I’m not surprised that someone that dumb would let the mask slip.
“Cavuto should have stopped right there and said “There you have it America, already threatening us with the Fairness Doctrine” just and the election is not even over yet!”
The “Fairness Doctrine” is where we must draw the line, if it passes and we want to have any chance at remaining a free country we will have to take up arms.
Not suprised at all. They are not even really trying hard to hide it anymore.
Neil Cavuto is one of the very few class acts on TV. He has the patience of Job to let the spinmeisters blab on and on and then brings them back to the question they did not answer.
You know, if a citizen threatened Sen. Menendez, we would have men in dark colored suits at our door the next morning.
If it was Robert Menendez, he is a product of the NJ political system.
Nah, that’s for folks without AK’s and Mossburgs...:)
Too many of them enjoy that though...............
Menendez is a loathsome little dwarf with enough skeletons in his closet to open his own Museum.
