Fox Nation was so excited that President Obama got booed at a basketball game, they forgot to point out that he was mostly cheered and applauded.
Fox Nation took its post from the U.K.'s conservative newspaper, The Daily Mail. But the paper noted in a subhead, "Boos and jeers competed with more approving fans." Somehow, that got left out of the "America-loving" Fox Nation article.
If you watch the video below, you'll see that there were more cheers and applause than jeers and boos.
Still, Fox Nation readers used the opportunity to pour forth some racist animosity and a death wish. Note to Fox Nation: I have reported this one to the White House (again).

Interesting post. I’m glad to see he steps out. Point I’d like to make is I would have boo-ed W-the-clown, had I been at an event with him. I guess it comes with the territory. No story there. This country is so deeply divided, and it has very little to do with the actual President. It has so much more to do with fox-nonsense, MSNBC, right wing radio and blogs that perpetuate hate and insults.
You could probably hear the boo’s a bit louder by the teabagger and repuKKKe sections, generally the “well-to-do, and scared-they-are-going-to-have-to-pay-more” crowds. The cheap seats up high were probably all cheering for the President, because he represents more the regular struggling American working man and woman.
I tried posting on “newsbusters”, and I get locked out after just a few posts. I don’t think I ever got insulting, but damn, did the roof fall on me whenever I’d post an opposing view or question some one’s comment. Trolls like meyer below are really not welcome nor helpful to any debate or discussion. You want to pose a question or debate an issue, then do so. If you come to insult or bark back at others, then find somewhere else to spew.

Mark, let’s review: The right tells their base that people who don’t agree with them are cancer, proposed resegregating America, played with the idea of camps, ran their 2012 nominee with a VP who wanted the same death panels Fox was lying about the ACA having, are proposing that poor people sell their organs for money, want to abolish church-state laws so they can dictate the free will of women, and have a yearly meme saying that only Christians have the right to celebrate their December Holiday.
Yeah, the right’s doing SUCH a good job not looking like theocratic fascists, aren’t they?
BTW, to answer your question about how much I watch Fox News- I have to obtain the take of every host who weighs in on major stories, and I follow certain hosts on my own for sites that blog about them (including this one). Trust me when I say that Ailes wants a dictatorship, and he’s looking at the GOP to give it to him.

Simple questions for Mark Meyer and the other Fox Nation fans:
Do you agree with Stephen F. Paul’s sentiments or not? Do you think this is proper to have such comments displayed publicly with no recourse whatsoever?

@ Mark Meyer Here’s your answer Mark: I watch Faux Spews Channel anytime an event happens that makes President Obama look very bad or very good in order to see how Herr Goering II (i.e. Roger Ailes, head of FNC) and his boss Herr Goebbels II (i.e. Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corporation, FNC’s parent company) create their Nazi-like propaganda. Remember Mark: just like the Nazis were in 1930s Germany, Faux Spews Channel is and ALWAYS will be EXTREMELY NATIONALISTIC (i.e. the American flag is displayed with vomit-inducing intensity) AND VIOLENTLY ANTI-COMMUNIST.

Boy oh boy, I sure as hell hope Stephen F. Paul’s death wish was reported to the Secret Service and that they are STILL keeping a VERY, VERY CLOSE EYE on the “FoKKKs Nashun” website. Mark my words: I have NEVER, EVER seen such a VILE AND TOTALLY DISGUSTING website in my life!
