Fox Hosts Attack Obama’s Trip To Hiroshima: ‘He’s Ashamed Of America’

Posted by Richard 8pc on May 12, 2016 · Flag

Didn’t you just know that the moment President Obama announced he’ll visit Hiroshima that Fox News would start up on the “apology tour” fiction? Fox’s Meghan McCain probably got a Fox bonus for dragging in Michelle Obama’s “For the first time in my adult life I’m really proud of my country” remark, misconstruing its meaning and then announcing, “These people do not view America in the way that I do.”

During an Outnumbered “Overtime” segment for the internet, cohost Dagen McDowell  started the attack.

MCDOWELL: In journalism, we all know this, there’s always the last question you ask is, why now? Why is he doing it now? Secretary Kerry already went there. It’s not a major anniversary. Why is he going there? And I’m reading into it but I always get the feeling that he’s somehow ashamed of the United States.

McCain could be heard saying, “Yeah.” 

Cohost Harris Faulkner questioned McDowell’s attack. “What would lead you to believe that?” she asked.

MCDOWELL: Again, I feel like he’s constantly apologizing. I mean, his entire foreign policy has been one of extraction and creating vacuums, of trying to remove the United States from the world stage.

Now Faulkner was on the team. She interjected snarkily, “Except for Iran! We did such a deal with Iran. We even did side deals!”

Next was Meghan McCain’s turn to attack the Obamas.

MCCAIN: I would go as far back as when Michelle Obama said that the only time she was proud of her country was when her husband was the nominee for president. 

For the record, Mrs. Obama’s full quote was at least as much about the direction of the country as it was about her husband: 

“Hope is making a comeback. …For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.  And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment.”

But nobody pointed out the larger meaning of Obama’s remark. 

McCain continued her smear of the Obamas, “That’s a systemic family ideology.”    

Faulkner challenged: “Not just a one thing one time. you don’t think so?”

MCCAIN: There’s many things. You wanna go take in, get in a little time machine and go back then, that was the first indication that I was like, these people do not view America in the way that I do.

The first time you are proud of America is when your husband is going to be president? That’s some weird thinking. 

“Or selfish,” Tony Sayegh, the show’s #OneLuckyGuy added.  

Surprisingly, cohost Sandra Smith offered some pushback to McCain: “Wait, you could say the same thing about the Trump slogan, ‘Make America great again.’  Isn’t it great?” 

“I actually do take issue with that. I totally agree with you on that,” McDowell agreed. 

But Sayegh went on to say that, unlike the Obamas, Trump’s slogan is patriotic. Unlike you know who in.

‘These people’. ‘These people!’ Could they be more transparent if they tried? My mind whooshes back to The Big O’s Inauguration Day. A couple of the bottle blonde crotch-teasers (Kelly and MacCullum?) were struggling to find a way to find fault with the lovely Michelle’s dress – “Green doesn’t usually suit THESE PEOPLE”.

Honest Native North American.

Steve St. John, I would be surprised if Obama got before a microphone in Hiroshima and actually said ,"I apologize. ".

I’m not sure, but I think it is State Department policy to not officially apologize for the two A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We don’t sit on the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal and pretend we will never use it.

Fox really is amazing, isn’t it? They start with a fact (Obama is going to Hiroshima), then speculate why, come up with their own answer, and continue the smear from there. What great journalism!

The rantings of Gramps McDepends can be explained by dementia. What’s Meghan’s excuse?

Sorry, posting by accident before I completed by thought………
I was in the Tokyo/ Yokohama during 60th anniversary of the fire bombing of these two cities and too my surprise the Japanese were not the only ones at this celebration but some of the American pilots still alive that participated in this necessary destruction at the time were there as well on invitation by the Japanese people.
Would Fox consider these American heroes apologist as well as they spoke of so much regret for the civilian loss of lives caused these air raids?

So I guess my dad is crap, too, even though he went island hopping the Pacific Theater with McArthur, was on the second invasion of New Guinea and later fought in the battle for Manila? Or how he was loading ships for the invasion of Japan when they dropped the bombs? Or how he was part of the occupation force after the war and saw what happened in Tokyo with the incendiaries? Or how in the 80s he went back to Japan to make peace with his soul? My dad became a Japan o phile or whatever the term is. And by extension, so have I.

Fuck you, FNC.

No worries. When Der Furor is President he’ll visit Hiroshima too. Trump’ll use a Hiroshima visit to thump his chest it’s a pinnacle of American greatness. Yes, a defining moment during America’s coming to age as a superpower and an exercise in American Exceptionalism he hopes to relive once he has some idle time to play with the nuclear football.

Leave it to FOX to attack President Obama for ANYTHING. As I’ve said before, the President could walk on water like Jeebus himself and FOX would say he can’t swim. There is no low that FOX cannot sink to. They are a scourge upon American society and need to be excised and terminated.
