Here is video of Fox News' Shepherd Smith this afternoon blasting Attorney General Eric Holder for claiming the Times Square Car Bomb attack was "thwarted."
"That's not true. That's not true according to the facts as given to us by the Feds. This bomb was not 'thwarted.' This bomb failed."
"Now I can think of a lot of different reasons they would want this. For instance, down the road, the next time something happens, they can say,'We thwarted Christmas Day and we thwarted Times Square.' But that wouldn't be the case. And part of our job, I think, is to not allow revisionist history to take over . . . "
Good for Shepherd Smith! Shepherd Smith was persistent even after he got an on-air response from Holder's office that tried to explain away his "thwarted" statement. Smith played Holder's words again and pointed out the fact he had clearly claimed the attack was "thwarted."

It was luck that a regular citizen saw something. HLS and the White House had nothing to do with finding anything.
Hmmmm... the near bombing must have startled Shep into a moment of clarity.
The list, ping
Shep made a good point.
His ratings are down.
I still refuse to watch him.
To paraphrase a real loser,”it depends on what the meaning of the word thwart is.”
Yeah if it wasn’t for the fact that someone saw the car smoking and the bomb was a total epic fail, hundreds, maybe thousands would have died..Obama wants to claim credit for keeping America safe but he didn’t do a damn thing..Duane Jackson kept America safe, not the Marxist in Chief. Obama and his minions gave that dufus citizenship and he was on the NO Fly List and STILL was able to get on a plane..yeah some national security we got
WOW. I’m impressed with ole Shep. Maybe there is hope . . . until the next car chase or bear in a tree.
A red letter day today, Shep got it right!
I am pleasantly surprised in Shep! I quit watching him some time ago..
Maybe there is hope for America yet. A reporter who actually paid attention to the meaning of a word? Oh my!
Never mind, it was an aberration, and won’t be allowed to happen again.
The smart guys will not fail....
Who would have ever thought that this would have come from Shep, of all people! Are his ratings down or is he trying to make up for some of the real lefties like Heraldo?
Outstanding, Shep! This Obama administration is more crooked than Nixon’s!
TVietnam vet and his response as to why he did so was priceless. “I am a veteran; what did you expect.”
That someone was a Vietnam vet and his response as to why he did so was priceless. “I am a veteran; what did you expect.”
Corrected.
Our ignorant AG tried to claim credit for the stupidity of the terrorist? Wow, claiming stupidity as your own; that’s big of the Nazi democrats to admit to he and his party’s stupidity.
stopped clock and all that.
