Who is Richard Fowler, and why did he lie about Roy Moore on Fox News Channel?
American Thinker.com ^ | December 14, 2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

Speaking live on the Fox News Channel Tuesday night after Roy Moore was declared the loser in the special U.S. Senate election in Alabama, Richard Fowler said this: “Roy Moore is guilty of saying things like ‘LGBT people should be put to death.'” The program’s host, Shannon Bream, seemed taken aback by the assertion, which was clearly a lie – classic fake news, or in this case, fake commentary.

Fox News @ Night Tuesday December 12 2017 (Video)

Fowler, an up and coming leftist talking head, is a paid contributor to Fox News and he appears frequently on a variety of Fox News Channel programs as an expert political analyst and sometimes, as in the case of the program The Five, as one of the co-hosts.

About fourteen minutes after he said what he did about Moore, Fowler was on camera again and he corrected himself, noting that Moore had only said that LGBT should be against the law. (Actually, in a 2005 interview with leftist Bill Press on C-SPAN, Moore said when he was pressed, according to CNN, that “homosexual conduct” should be illegal.) Fowler did not offer an apology, to Moore or to the channel’s viewers, for his earlier lie.

The damage had been done, though. Fowler’s original comment on Moore was delivered with emotional emphasis, his later “correction” not so much. And not only that: for some inexplicable reason, the post-election results program on which Fowler appeared, Fox News@Night, which originally aired live from 11 P.M. to 12 midnight E.T. on FNC, was repeated four more times: at 12 Midnight and at 1, 2, and 3 A.M., with no live updates. During each replay, Fowler’s lie about Moore was heard again. It could have been edited out or bleeped, but it was not.

Just because you “call” yourself Republican, if you align yourself with every Democrat issue and make excuses for every lying, slimy, weasel Democrat, you’re Democrat. IOW, if it walks, quacks, and looks like a duck, it’s a duck. I know quite a few of those “Republicans”.

That goes for any sin. Which is why Christ had to die. Mere suffering on His part would have been insufficient to effect salvation. For anybody.

So don’t take God out of context either.

“That goes for any sin.”

You wanna avoid making any sin that’s specifically cited as an ‘abomination” your lifestyle. Much less be proud of doing so - that’s piling one abomination on another.

The late Alan Colmes was tolerable when he was on with Hannity. However when he went to just do his radio show and occasionally was a guest on Fox news he showed that he was nothing but a liberal and I always muted him when he was on. As I always do with liberals.

the left had to move heaven and earth work non stop for weeks, spread every lie/allegation possible and spend millions to win by 1%. Yea I know it was deep red Alabama but the point is they are not going to be able to do this every single race next year especially from a party suffering average people donations.

Yet this one scalp they got makes them think they’re back in charge and can do and say what they like.

He is a “political consultant.” There are political consultants sitting in bars all over America spouting their political opinions, The only difference between the a**holes sitting on a bar stool giving their opinions and people like Fowler, people like Fowler get paid to give the same worthless opinion as does the guy on the bar stool.

I was going to say that I don't know if he is or not, but I just did a biography search via DuckDuckGo.com on him and found out that he is a Republican.

Tucker is probably not the only one who thinks he is. There are probably many freepers who think that Rosenstein is a democrat.

“Jesus DIED for all.”

Read again:
Although “**they know God’s righteous decree**”.

I think it’s a fairly safe bet that those who march in “gay pride” parades don’t give a hoot about Jesus. Unless you’re some form of an uber-universalist, people who reject God will not have a good end.
If you are an uber-universalist, that’s fine for you. But the notion that those who reject God will get away with it is just not biblical, sorry.

Every news station, radio, and tv have been running anti-Moore propaganda here in TEXAS for weeks before the election. Every radio station, top of hour, 15 minutes past and half hour segment would include a slam against Moore. Every tv news bit also had the dig against Moore. The rats have shown their hand. They control all media news cycles. Shocking that they would do this in TX, as we can’t vote in Alabama. But it shows what kind of power they are trying to exibit and use in the forthcoming elections.

This POS leftist is a nauseating fudge packer and has no business spewing his hate on any form of media, much less, Fox News. Other than that, he’s a great guy.
