In case you've missed it, I've been following on Crooks and Liars how Fox & Friends has been concern trolling about the supervised release of some low-level immigrant detainees as part of the sequester cuts. Ignoring how this has been a part of Department of Homeland Security policy since at least 2002. Yesterday, Fox's former-judge Andrew Napolitano actually called for impeachment over it. All this while Fox attacks President Obama for scare mongering about the sequester effects.

Last week, the Curvy Couch Crew hosted an anti-immigrant zealot named one of the Ten Scariest Republicans Heading To Congress in 2010 by Right Wing Watch as some kind of neutral commentator on the subject. He likened Obama to Fidel Castro and said he'd rather let criminals go free than lay off federal employees. He told the credulous Crew, “I was told” some of those released “may have been high level criminal aliens” who are “so bad that their own countries didn’t want to take them back.” Rather than ask for details about what he had been told or make any attempt to validate it, Gretchen Carlson piled on the fear-mongering by "asking, "What if these were high-level criminals who would go out and commit another crime? Who would be responsible? What if somebody dies?”

Yesterday, Napolitano upped the ante by calling for Obama's impeachment over it. This, just a few days after host Steve Doocy called Obama "President Panic" for fear mongering about the sequester. Yesterday, though, it was Doocy who prodded Napolitano into saying that the release of the detainees "is so offensive, it's impeachable."
