Fox creates a fictional fantasyworld in which their most ardent followers could possibly believe they’d be justified in killing the President because the President hates America and wants to destroy it from within. “All enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC!!!!1″. Fox should be the one apologizing.

This, by the way, was the lesson from the Gabby Giffords shit. Not “OMG she used crosshairs!!!”

“The tweet did not reflect the views of the U.S. Secret Service”…… we are men of action, lies do not become us.

“Donovan also clarified that the organization routinely monitors several channels and media outlets, not solely Fox News.”…….. if you believe that I have some ocean front property in Missouri for ya.

Looks like there’s a Secret Socialist in the Secret Service. And why are they monitoring the media? This isn’t the Soviet Union, you know.

oh brother.

Bullcrap Pubey. There wasn’t any evidence the Giffords shooting had anything to do with FOX or anyone else on TV. The guy was a loon that was obsessed with her. Not making crap up, that’s why libs have no credibiltiy.

In their statement to Jake Tapper of ABC News, the spokesperson included the bit about how their public affairs division monitors all of the cable news networks. As Alex noted, the errant tweet actually included the line “had to monitor Fox for a story”, but the spokesperson claimed to not know the specific story, when pressed.

My guess is that public affairs may have been interested in how yesterday’s thing about the questioning of a 13 year-old for a Facebook posting was being played and the individual who accessed the wrong account had been assigned to watch Fox News.

What about Special Ed Schultz saying that Republicans want you to die! What if a liberal lefty loon who watches Ed Schultz kills a Republican? Then what. You hypocritical ass.

Well then Pubey would congratulate the shooter, as would Mr. Ed.

Why apologize? They like everyone else with a brain realizes that fox is a complete joke and probably wonder how anyone could sit and watch that shit day in and day out if they don’t have to. It requires a lack of critical thinking. This is what those who watch fox have in common.

You talking about a lack of critical thinking is rich, Box of ROX.

You want hate and fear propaganda – you go to Fox. Just telling the truth and doing his job. No apologies necessary.

Sure there was. You just have to be a complete moron to deny the connection of hate and fear mongering propagandists and the actions it incite in complete brainwashed religious dolts like yourself.

Jazz Hands, feel free to provide any evidence of your ridiulous assertions.

Hey Jazz hands, can I assume that you blame Al Gore for the Discovery Channel gunman? I mean that guy flat out said he acted from listening to Big Al.

But let me guess. You watch MSNBC?

SO, WHY IS THE D-CRTA SOCIALIST CONTROLLED SS MONITORING FOX NEWS ?????

Isn’t the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist SS supposed to protect the Speaker of the House, Boehner ?

If I were Boehner, I’d hire some people who would ACTUALLY PROTECT ME, instead of what the d-cRAT socialist SS is likely to do, which is “protect” Boehner as well as they “protected” JFK.

The SS is supposed to protect the president from threats. Opinions on Fox News are not threats. Capish?

The Secret Service has absolutely NOTHING to apologize for. The agent monitoring the hate-fest that is Fox News was genuinely sickened by having to sit and listen non-stop to Fox News garbage that genuinely disturbs normal human beings. This agent is a good, honorably serving patriot and I for one thank her/him for his/her service. Also 1) The tweet was truthful, and 2) Thank God the Secret Service is monitoring what’s going on over at that violence spewing, manipulative lie machine that is Fox News. Fox News specializes in inciting violence (Dr. George Tiller, Gabby Giffords, etc.). The network’s “personalities” have foaming-at-the-mouth contempt for President Obama and the First Lady. Every other story that Fox News reports on is tinged with angry/violent rhetoric. The Secret Service is just doing its job of protection by monitoring the seditious crap that Fox News doles out every day. Oh, BTW, @TeaPartyPatriot: You are a MORON. The Secret Service IS NOT in charge of protecting members of Congress. You hardcore right-wingers are truly misinformed/ignorant/just plain stupid.

The errant tweeter was a member of the agency’s public affairs staff. Those would be the people who respond to public and press inquiries, most likely requests from other agencies and because they’re tweeting recruitment events, they may provide the public face for the service.

Needless to say, the intern or low-level staffer in charge of monitoring the media, tweeting, answering the phone, opening the mail and clipping articles from the morning papers isn’t in charge of protecting anyone. And, though if they see a story reporting on a possible threat, they may pass it along to another agent, there’s no reason to think they’re watching the anchors and hosts for non-agency related political speech.

What is that you’re babbling about? Your message was completely incomprehensible, as are you most of the time.

me thinks everyone’s taking this thing far too seriously.

Either someone with secret service posted it intentionally or they posted it unintentionally. Whatever it was, Secret Service apologized and made it’s excuse…so it’s a good cover for what *really* happened or it really happened that way…either way, it was clearly funny to some and obvious travesty to others.

All I know is that if it the tweet used the name of ANY network OTHER THAN FNC, the wingnuts of right would be whooping high-fives, spamming their liberal friends, calling in the radio programs and barraging FB and every news and or political comment section they can while the wingnuts of the left scowl, scoff and scream at the injustice and make accusations of foul play in the government.

Kind of like what’s happening right now.

I don’t blame the Secret Service, it’s a hard job listening to that lying trash they spew out there on a daily basis.

Yoda, feel free to list their lies from yesterday if they lie everyday.

I just lost all respect for the SS. And why is that person still employed there?
