Funny how this chick isn’t willing to do her schtick in front of an angry audience of Democratic partisans but has the chutzpah to criticize Williams.

Andrea, your job over at Fox News is just to show your legs on ‘The Five’, not to give ignorant opinions!!

LOL FOXNEWS

You said it, brother!

Yes, I’m sure he’s intimidated…LOL.  What brilliant analysis…boob.

She’s like many others: she knows she’s paid to say certain things as strongly as possible to drive controversy and debate even when she must be aware that she’s making sh*t up. She’s like a reporter covering a boring beat. She has nothing interesting to say so she’s creating a story. 

Speaking of “intimidation,” did you see how President Obama stood up to the Wicked Witch of the West in Arizona? You’ll love this image, please share it- make it go viral.

Honestly, mobs intimidate me

Submit christian wench! 

As shocking as it must be for someone like you, she’s there to provide political commentary.  She’s part Greek by the way and had it on the mind likely because liberal Beckel called the Greeks lazy the other night and she called him out on it.

 I didn’t interpret her comments, ”intimidated by the audience response” to mean he was skeeeeeered of them (you left off *response* by the way) but the actual response.

As in – it was positive feedback for some of the candidates and gave them a boost in the polls, it was a useful tool for the candidates to shape their message, and it showed voters reacting positively when there were comments hitting Obama on policy, etc. He was intimidated by the anti-Obama policy reactions.

sexist much?

sexist much?

Obviously her “Talking Point Of The Day” calendar said “Blame the media no matter what,” and like the good little soldier she is, she went back to the applause thing. It is so much easier than having to pick between Mitt’s flippety-flop-a-looza and the Angry Newt Dissembling shows.

Expect more of this from Andrea and company as they struggle to overcome the pathetic options they are presenting us…especially since they all try to pretend Ron Paul does not exist.

Oh, that’s just normal procedure for the show??

Then why doesn’t Dana sit in that seat showing off her legs??

I’m sure the reason is she has more class and wants to be taken seriously!!

I am sure that Brian Williams is more imtimidated by his POOR post-debate ratings for lake of Audience particapation. At Least Wolf got a face to face redoubt on CNN about his standing up to Gingrich, Williams got trashed again.

Republicans call Greeks lazy all the time stating that’s why the country is in the mess they’re in!!

Why aren’t you using a picture of your legs in your avatar picture??

So, the rape victim asked for it because of how she dressed?

Women can’t be sexy, attractive and intelligent?

Like I said, sexist much?

Or perhaps Williams wanted to use the time for actual debate and not semi-staged applause lines that have turned these into pep rallies rather than thoughtful debates. The applause causes the candidates to work to get the best ovation, which invariably forces then to alter their message for the sake of applause. You also get with applause what happened yesterday. Newt accused Mitt (sound like a children’s book) of packing the audience which immediately became the post-debate headline.

I have no idea what Williams was thinking but the immediate assumption of a nefarious agenda os so much of what is wrong with political discourse these days.

Stupid answer much?

He’s part of the Tommy Christopher fan club and enjoys all the “drama”.

Brian Williams has a man crush on Obama, which explains his actions.

what was the question?

I guess you didn’t see my last avatar pic. 

I don’t think you can say honestly she is not on there merely for her good looks.  It is not sexist to say such things if they are true.  Much like the dude that used to play Slater on Saved by the Bell that is on Entertainment Tonight.  No one here saying intelligence, beauty, female are mutually exclusive. 

She is a prop, in Prada.

Rape victims, nice introduction of ridiculous straw man, jeesh.

Statement: ““I think [Williams] did it because he was intimidated by the audience response.”

Translation: “I like being employed by Fox News and really want to keep this job.”

Your first sentence is ridiculous!!

Women can be all those things!! Dana is a perfect example on the show and doesn’t feel the need to show her legs to accomplish that!!

Let me ask you, why doesn’t Greta Van Susteren wear the same dresses as Andrea?? Doesn’t Greta want to be sexy and attractive too??

This ridiculous…there is no intimidation…brian williams just like the majority of the country just doesnt want to hear any applause for the racist red meat that gets thrown out to the crowds. 

LOL Fox gets 3 likes???

MSNBC= Low IQ Race-baiters, tax-evaders, rehab wantabees.

She is not there merely for her good looks.

She is a prop? wow.  If that were true, why not just have beautiful models sitting around the set? 

I brought it up to show Leedog how ridiculous he sounded, and now you. 

IN what conceivable way is what I wrote “sexist”?

What is wrong with showing your legs? So, women can be smart beautiful and sexy, just not women you disagree with? Andrea is not ignorant, but you are surely revealing your ignorance. And she is not classless.

Why doesn’t Greta wear the same dresses as Andrea? Probably because she’s got about 25 years on Andrea and doesn’t have the figure Andrea does anymore. No offense to Greta, and she would most likely agree.

Funny since the ‘Republicans’ were appalled and the liberal was the only one believing they are lazy – Andrea’s opinion (I think it was her) was they decades of government handouts made them dependent.

I was mostly messin’ with ya, having fun playing the sexist card like ya’ll like to play the race card. 

Leedog was sexist, however. 

Ancient Greeks showed the example how once great societies die.

Modern Greeks are doing the same.

Just like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hillary Clinton and Meril Streep are there only for their good looks.

Andrea just sit at end of table and show your legs, quietly

I never heard of THE FIVE until I noticed Mediaite buzzing about it. I’ve never seen JERSEY SHORE, but I bet Andrea Tantaros would be a good fit on JERSEY SHORE.

“…ya’ll like to play the race card. ”

I don’t.

Tantaros, the serious journalist, dresses like she’s going to the club. Wonder why she’s at FOX… maybe the same reason Palin got hired… because they viewers want to…. you know. 

Prejudice/racism linked to low IQ and social conservatism.

Grab a mirror!

BOOOOOOOOO

Thank you. She seems to have forgotten that that is the reason she is there. 

Do they not remember the Brian Williams debate when the audience cheered for 249 deaths under death penalty in Texas and Rick Perry?

How intimidate was Brain then? 

That was the first audience participation debate.

Many of the commenters on this post must be coming over from Daily Kos or Huffington Post of other Media Matters-like cesspools – a whole lot of sexist and vulgar comments instead of addressing the issue.  Its sad when your lucky to have 1 in 15 liberal posts that aren’t in the gutter.

Who wouldn’t be? They’re hyper partisan foaming at the mouth nuts.

Black Eagle twelve, go paint graffiti on a wall. Nous Defions!

I don’t know Andrea like Bob does, and maybe he was just calling her lazy… though, she sure is ignorant!!

You are a sexist human being. 

If it just a gosh darned great idea why doesn’t Fox have a live audience for all their shows?

oh look, another right wing fox propaganda channel irrelevant bimbo speaks!

Williams is a Leftist Media Hack, like John King. They share a love of perfect hair, like other famous Leftists such as Jon Edwards and the haughty John Kerry. But Williams could bear to be properly humiliated like King was last week…seeing his ashen face as the ‘American People’ audience bludgeoned him with its baseball bat.

Next to Bolling Tantaros is the biggest airhead on Fox.

Black Misogyny isn’t your strong suit.

Wrong, she’s paid to do both.

LOL foxnews. Arrogant, ignorant, bleeding heart racists.

LOL I CAN GENERALIZE LIKE AN IDIOT TOO!

Right on the money.
It’s a regular occurance on Fox.

Right, Brian Williams with all his experience and credentials , intimidated by the audience. Not bloody likley.

Vulgar,give me a break.Clutch those pearls till your fingers are blue.LOL

People,it’s a debate,not a freakin’ football game.Debates used to be serious things.You’re supposed to be picking a leader,not the guy that pisses off Libs the most,sheesh.

Teabillies,you can dress em up but ya can’t take em out.Hilarious

Thanks for the compliment. 

Williams has never mentioned Fast And furious! Lib a hole!

“Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice”

Where did they get this dingbat. I have dropped into that show a couple of times and I truly believe she has earned a spot on “Jersey Shore.” I’m thinking she’s not a Harvard grad.

No, I didn’t see that image. What are you talking about. I just flew in from Burkina Faso and, holy shit, we have a black President.

Gosh, I am embarrassed. I just went to Wikipedia and darned if Andrea Tantaros didn’t graduate from Lehigh and study in Paris and isn’t she conversant in three languages. So, what happened. Is she afraid of the camera or just afraid to show intelligence to the Fox News audience which would then suss her out as socialist. Whatever, she has that certain je ne sais quoi that says “Jersey Shore.”

it’s sexist to suggest it’s not brilliant analysis

i guess you didn’t notice that she’s female

if she were male you would just nod your head and agree with him and scream “you go girl!”

i’m just calling a spade a spade…and that’s not racists that’s Elizabethan…i looked it up so I could say it!

that’s just stupid analysis with absolutely no foundation

She must be waiting in the wings to replace Callista.

It’s no fun to play with the liberal trolls.  Too angry and insulting.  Never present any facts, just repeat the old talking points that they saw on MSNBC.

Insult, insults that all you got??

Apparently you know not that of which you speak. What’s that saying, 
Sometimes It Is Better To Be Thought A Fool Than To Open Your Mouth And Remove All Doubt?

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/most-of-the-five-side-with-brian-williams-over-newt-gingrich-think-silencing-audience-is-a-good-idea/ 

Like I said, I don’t believe she was saying Williams was physically scared of the *audience*, one reason being because she actually said *audience response* which Jon left out, but also because I had seen the video link above, and read numerous articles, such as these below, which discuss what they feel the silencing of the clapping meant. 

Or:

“I wish in retrospect I had protested when Brian Williams took [the crowd] out of it because I think it’s wrong,” he said. “I think he took them out of it because the media is terrified that the audience is going to side with the candidates against the media, which is what they’ve done in every debate.”

Gingrich’s debate performances are widely viewed as having propelled him to an overwhelming victory at Saturday’s South Carolina primary.His fiery performances often came at the expense of the debate moderators for questions he deemed inappropriate, and the conservative crowds often rewarded the former House Speaker with applause and even a standing ovation for his attacks against the media.But NBC asked the crowd to hold their applause until the breaks, and moderator Brian Williams didn’t offer any opportunities for Gingrich to go after him.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/206041-gingrich-says-he-wont-allow-moderator-to-silence-crowd-at-future-debates 

Instead it was how NBC officials and Brian Williams attempted to tip the scales in favor of appeasing the liberal punditry of those who openly showed despair at Newt Gingrich slam dunk of the Romney presidential machine in South Carolina. 

http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-cleveland/nbc-gop-debate-clapping-ban-trampled-freedom-of-speech 

And there you have it – foundation for my analysis.

But I know it’s easier for people like you to just throw around the word *stupid* instead of having an actual discussion….

libs try to find anything that’s racist.

why doesn’t obama do something about the border?  for one thing, he needs to fire janet nepoleano for saying that the border in arizona is secure. yeah, right.

Andrea Tantaros has as much credability as someone passing gas in church and trying to blame on the next guy over

Mob reaction is essential in most elections. The Germans thrived on it, at one point.
