Fox News anchor Shepard Smith used his show on Monday to insinuate Republican political leaders are little different than "the barbarians" of the Islamic State group known as ISIS.
Smith launched into a tirade after news broke that at least 15 state governors would refuse to accept Syrian migrants sent by the Obama administration due to security concerns.
"Our shining city on a hill is vulnerable. We've always known that. If we change it to accommodate the savages, have they won? And what then would be left to protect? We profess to stand as an example for all the world. Our unique experiment in freedom, tolerance, openness and equality is our gift to societies and peoples everywhere. Come, join us. Enjoy a chance at the American dream. Today, we mourn, but we cannot allow ourselves to become like those who want to destroy us," said Smith, Mediaite reported.
"We cannot resort to the tactics of the barbarians. We must fight for what we believe in and who we are, guard our freedoms faithfully for the generations to follow. And we must not let the rhetoric of potential and political extremists among us lead us to self-destruction. When there's panic, we show resolve. When there's calm for extremism, we resist. We are America. We must lead."

Shep Smith is the barbarian for wanting to expose us to horrific ISIS members. What they do to others is horrific. Is Shep taking drugs? He sounds like his brain is fried..
During WWII would we have let 80,000 Nazi “immigrants” into the US?
Hell no. If we had, if would have been as prisoners of war (which we did do). And after the war was over, we shipped them back.
Screening refugees is the problem. To properly screen them requires the screening process to be politically incorrect, insensitive, religiously biased.
Someone suggest an effective screening process and watch the multi-culturalists scream that it’s not for us to judge others.
Shep Smith, O’Reilly, etc. why I no longer watch Fox News except for Sean Hannity. As for Smith, he is simply a jerk, a moronic one at that.
Yep. Obama is already screaming about how such a screening isn’t “who we are”. Funny, 98% of those allowed in are Muslim so looks like some kind of screening is already in place.
Proud member of the vast right wing barbarian conspiracy.
It’s amazing ... shep can’t stand conservatives, .. but he’d like these people to live beside him...
he’s into condemning... but we are not supposed to..
these lefties don’t care for anyone but themselves... so why not say the real reason you want them here in the US.
shep likes to portray himself as the only one who actually really cares...
Pure liberal pablam. No where in his "feelings" does he properly think, as our founders did, that evil might just take you up on it.
No, to a liberal moron everyone just wants to love everyone else and share a Coke.
I like to throw a good party but I'm not going to let some drunken, filthy bum enjoy the buffet.
I’m going with Vulgarian.
I can HONESTLY say I have NOT watched Fox since the night of their first debate.
I can ALSO, honestly say, I think I'm better informed getting my news through the Internet as opposed to the MEDIA, all of which SLANT the news, in one way or another.
LOL, stop it. You guys are killin me. (Good choices, however)
He’s supposed to be one of the “hard news” presenters on FOX but he’s always spouting his left wing editorial opinions. I guess they let him stay on because he’d probably sue them for discrimination if they fired him.
To twist a old (Better Red than Dead) meme by the Leftist cowards of the decade, one can make it make more sense with "Better Barbarian than Dead".
Of course, that would never occur to the always oh-so-polite and courteous Left (tongue in cheek).
We need a man who loves this Nation to be the next president...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
AN EVEN MORE USEFUL IDIOT --- John Kerry actually said the Charlie Hebdo massacre was "legitimate"---that the terroists had good reason to kill....inanely implying the victims invited the attack.
So the entire Middle East is going to relocated to Kansas?
Boko Haramis killing people in Nigeria in huge numbers… will Nigeria be relocated to Vermont? It’s the whitest state, so an obvious location. Bernie will help at the soup kitchen.
Burundi is blowing up in Africa, how about they all go to Washington DC and camp out on all that green grass around the White House and Congress? It’ll save on mowing costs.
"Buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye!"
