Andrea Tantaros probably thought she was oh-so-clever on The Five Friday evening as she cutely painted multiculturalism as somehow unpatriotic, unlike the Tea Party. This, from the same woman who a few months ago urged her radio audience to go out and punch an Obama supporter in the face.
Tantaros said on Friday (10/18/13)
The elites believe in multiculturalism, they believe in diversity. The Tea Party believes in patriotism. OK? …They worship a different altar. They don’t worship multiculturalism. …This is a fight over the civic cult of America.
But Tantaros has questionable bona fides (at best) on the subject of patriotism. Let’s not forget this is the same woman who said she thinks the United States is like the Soviet Union – right before she urged her radio-show listeners to “do me a favor” and punch anyone who voted for President Obama.
This is Obama’s America. It’s like the Soviet Union. He said he’d change the country. He said it, he said it, he said it, and a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor, punch ‘em in the face.

Good thing they do, Andrea — or you’d be working as a maid at some seaside hotel in Thessaloniki instead of telling lies on Fox in the US . . .

Though I actually have a theory that when she says stuff like this, it’s something Gutfeld slipped her to spike her individual ratings during dips. Seriously, tell me that you wouldn’t instantly assume he said it without a disclaimer in the title. In text, they read like something written for him that he handed down.
