Fox Nation promotes Tancredo's call for impeachment

July 23, 2010 12:25 pm ET by Jocelyn Fong

We noted earlier that the Washington Times today features not one, but two op-eds calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In one of the pieces, former Rep. Tom Tancredo argues that Obama "is an enemy of our Constitution, and, as such, he is a danger to our safety, our security and our personal freedoms." Tancredo further claims that Obama "is a more serious threat to America than al Qaeda." Totally insane, right? Not if you're Fox Nation:

      I called this in 2006 when Pelosi said 'Impeachment is off the table.' There was never any question in my mind that the Reps would want to impeach any Dem who was elected President.

        Of course. When I mentioned it a few months ago, one of our trolls asked me where my evidence was. Seems pretty obvious to me.

        Since they successfully used impeachment to cripple Bill Clinton in his second term, expect the Troglodytes to make it a routine political tool in the future.

        If the Republitoads take back the House, I have no doubt that they'll try to impeach Obama within a month.

            Right, because you don't actually give a sh!t about your country, you'd rather waste time and money impeaching the president for a reason you'll come up with later, simply because you personally hate him. Again: better trolls, please.

      Tancredo? Isn't that the Clown that said Hispanics should prove they can Read?
      If not they shouldn't be allowed to Vote and help decide who should Lead?
      Tancredo? The Racist's Racist, who doesn't even try to hide his Extreme Hate.
      Fox News, Andrew Breitbart & Tom Tancredo, Yea, let's let these three decide our Fate.

      Oh, Tommy Tancredo, you adorable, "I'm too depressed to fight in Vietnam, give me a deferment," rascal, you!

      You not liking someone is not considered a "high crime and misdemeanor" under any standard.

      You don't understand that? Good lord! Then there's a better than fair chance you'd fail that "civics test" you were calling for that would allow people to vote or not. And that would be a tad embarrassing for a former member of Congress, would it not?

So sorry those liberal pukes offended your delicate sensibilities. You know, they are just like kids when they are away from home and do/say things mommy and daddy would never allow.

          Because Fox Nation, being fair and balanced, attracts as many liberals as conservatives. Or did you just declare that Fox News is only for conservatives, and that it therefore lies to your face (with its slogan) in every commercial break?

      Tancredo called a spade a space. He told it like it is in too few ways. There are so many more ways the President has acted, in an unrestricted manner, with no transparency, on weekends. What a sneaky snake he is.

      Not only does he need to be impeached, there are others as well.
      But I am merely an older American who knows a Socialist when she sees one.

      In addition, most Presidents can provide a properly documented
      birth certificate rather than a forged one. In addition, he does not represent me or mine and never will. You guys keep your Socialist,and enjoy the fruits of his "rewards."

        Really, that's all you got?

        Czars are nothing new, nor is bypassing congress in certain situations. And where, pray tell, has Obama disregarded the constitution. If this is so evidently clear that an impeachment is warranted, it should be easy enought to provide the facts.

        Sheesh, you "morans" who post this nonsense are the ones who need to get some common sense. You're sheep being led by people (Limbaugh, Beck, et. al) who have no interest in doing what's best for the country, only to create strife in the name of making a dollar for themselves.

      I don't disagree that "O" is very dangerous to America, the Constitution, our Liberty and our National Security but we will never get an impeachment as much as it may be deserved.
      All we can do is pray that we win the Senate at the same time we take the House on November 2, 2010.

          People wonder why people often draw the conclusion that the most fervent opposition to Obama is race-based, but I really can't see much else it could be when they know they hate him and they know he has to be destroyed, and then they can't come up with any examples of what he's done. (No, not all Obama-haters are racist... most of them are just really, really sore losers.)
