It turns out that Andrea Tantaros is a hypocrite on top of being a violence-promoting hate monger. Our friend David in Elyria reminded me that about two years ago, she was on her high horse blaming President Obama's "violent rhetoric" for flash mobs. And yet, this is the same woman who has yet to apologize for telling her radio show listeners, “If you see any of those people (Obama supporters) today, do me a favor, punch ‘em in the face.”
Tantaros made the "punch 'em in the face" comment two days ago. But in August 2011, she was singing a different tune. In a discussion about flash mobs on Fox's The Five, Tantaros sneered:
I think Obama's rhetoric, the violent rhetoric and class warfare rhetoric causes these flashmobs.
Please feel free to contact Tantaros and tell her she owes America an apology. As for Fox News, if they don't fire this woman, they need to explain why they would condone such talk from one of their hosts.

Tantaros' comments are unacceptable and should be denounced no matter what. But she should especially be called out on any attempt to complain about anyone else's violent rhetoric.
Tantaros' "flash mob" comments from 2011 are in the first video below. Her more recent "punch 'em in the face" comment is underneath.
Bemused (aka Polyanna)

Ailes is openly calling every attempt to tone down the rhetoric, and/or end the blackwater journalism tactics with that it has to be some kind of intimidation plot. He actually said that he’s gonna strongarm everyone trying to rein him in.
If anything, he probably gave Tantaros a private memo telling her to call him if there’s too much pressure on her to apologize, act like an adult, or show any sign she’s more developed than a GOP version of an especially immature NIcktoon character.

Don’t let this little tart fool you. She has a nasty streak in her that would chase away a pitbull. She makes Mouthy Michelle look like a Roman Catholic nun.
She is one piece of work.
NOTE TO TANTAROS
TRN have lost their minds choosing your little show over others who are 10,000 times better than you. Looks are more important than talent.
