Dear Shep,
You’re a tool.
Dead Hand Control on November 18, 2008 at 5:40 PM
No.
BadgerHawk on November 18, 2008 at 5:41 PM
This is going to be a fun comments thread.
BadgerHawk on November 18, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Shut-down. Nicely done, Shep.
Tacitus_SGL on November 18, 2008 at 5:41 PM
I may have to do a few revisions of my opinion of ole Shep. For once, he’s right on.
katieanne on November 18, 2008 at 5:42 PM
one of the few times I agree with Shep
CaCa on November 18, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Sheppy doesn’t like being confronted or disagreed with, it’s not the issue, it’s that he is being attacked.
Bishop on November 18, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Shep doesn’t give his political opinion.
terryannonline on November 18, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Shep’s teh ghey but not conservative.
txsurveyor on November 18, 2008 at 5:43 PM
That’s PREPOSTEROUS! LOL
Seriously, Shep’s just getting weirder and weirder.
jr.ewing.78 on November 18, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Shep is trying to kiss up to conservatives again after last week’s fiasco.
jencab on November 18, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Wow, Shep just plays a liberal on TV! I never knew.
He’s even attacking Helicopter Ben for money printing!
lodge on November 18, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Shep.
New and improved with 34% more rawrblam.
UncleOlaf on November 18, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Shep wanted to be the hottest female anchor.
Firebird on November 18, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Nope, no way he is.
It's Vintage, Duh on November 18, 2008 at 5:46 PM
I dare that dude to email Meghan…
ProudPalinFan on November 18, 2008 at 5:46 PM
how do his comments make him a liberal? sounds like a free marketer to me.
moseby on November 18, 2008 at 5:46 PM
So this Shep fellow is against a government bailout for private industry and that means he not a conservative?
What am I missing?
sharrukin on November 18, 2008 at 5:47 PM
I know someone who interned at FNC – said Shep’s a cool guy and most definitely a conservative…at least that’s what he calls himself.
robink on November 18, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Shep and common sense haven’t been friends for some time…I guess the addage about a blind squirrel finding a nut every once in awhile is true…
Gohawgs on November 18, 2008 at 5:48 PM
He sure do got sum o’ dem purdy eyes.
yomomma on November 18, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Shep is a FOX News liberal. They’re all a little confused.
D0WNT0WN on November 18, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Shep thought GM was a country.
CanadianGuy on November 18, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Does anyone remember Shep’s position on the mortgage bailout? I seem to recall he was pushing hard for it and blaming Congress for not getting it done.
So now he’s against bailouts. He’s confused, but then, so are a lot of us.
Dee2008 on November 18, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Gallup: Republicans oppose bailout for Big Three 65/35. Independents oppose bailout by 53/41. Only Democrats favor bailout 60/36.
I don’t think it’s only about conservatism, though it certainly can be a winning issue for conservatives. Independents are tired of their money going to bailout failed businesses, too.
amerpundit on November 18, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Shep is funny sometimes but I’m inclined to believe he isn’t a Conservative by my definition. He was right in this case though.
Guardian on November 18, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Way to go Shep…for a change.
baldilocks on November 18, 2008 at 5:51 PM
O Knower of All, I do not understand……can Shep not ask a simple question about Israel of Joe the Plumber without having to be witch-tested for conservatism?
matoko_chan on November 18, 2008 at 5:52 PM
I think you mean Megyn Kelly
The Monster on November 18, 2008 at 5:52 PM
Shep is like a broken clock.
Even a blind mouse finds the glory hole once in a while, know what i mean?
coondawg on November 18, 2008 at 5:53 PM
I sat slack-jawed and incredulous as Shep rabidly denied the existence of MSM bias last week in a panel discussion. I find such an amazing lack of perception in a newsman downright Rathersome.
troyriser_gopftw on November 18, 2008 at 5:53 PM
Shep gets it right every so often. But not nearly often enough.
I don’t even like the term ‘bailout’. From now on it should be called ‘embezzlement’ with respect to Congress’ actions and ‘extortion’ with respect to the companies’ demands.
progressoverpeace on November 18, 2008 at 5:54 PM
One issue a conservative does not make.
lorien1973 on November 18, 2008 at 5:54 PM
Looks like Shep purchased some stones at Neiman Marcus. Must have gone shopping with the ‘Cuda.
HornetSting on November 18, 2008 at 5:55 PM
No – he just sometimes wants to act like he’s got a pair.
tru2tx on November 18, 2008 at 5:55 PM
OT:
Alan Keyes jumping on the “let’s see Obama’s birth certificate” wagon.
txsurveyor on November 18, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Take a look at the picture of Shep on the main page. Isn’t that the look your cat gives you when you wake him up from a nap?
keep the change on November 18, 2008 at 5:56 PM
I dare that dude to email Meghan
Hold on, I’ll ask Megyn what she would do:
*honey…would you hammer an emailer like the guy who criticized Shep?*
Megyn said she would go off like a nukyaler bomb on a jerk like that.
Bishop on November 18, 2008 at 5:56 PM
coondawg on November 18, 2008 at 5:53 PM
Are you mixing metaphors?
tru2tx on November 18, 2008 at 5:57 PM
Nice.
CP on November 18, 2008 at 5:57 PM
Shep’s probably having some emotional conflict. Maybe something’s going on in his life that makes him a schizophrenic liberal/conservative hybrid. I dunno. Shep’s a reporter; he’s just doing his job.
Achilles on November 18, 2008 at 5:57 PM
Sincere question:
i was sitting with 3 other guys at the local cigar shop this afternoon. Fox News Channel was on, and when Shep went off regarding that email the question arose…
Is this show on Fox meant to be News or Comment? I have no trouble with either, but I thought Sheps’ show was a news show, not a commentator show. When Cavuto wants to make an editorial comment, I’ve seen him sequey (sp?) to a different segment and his signature is displayed, and it is obvious he is expressing an opinion.
Y’all’s thoughts on this?
Red State State of Mind on November 18, 2008 at 5:57 PM
Shep seems to have more balls than our leaders McConnell and Boehner.
Which says alot about the GOP of today, considering Shep is an uphill gardener
lodge on November 18, 2008 at 5:57 PM
I need to know more about this term ‘rawrblam’. I’m absolutely intriqued by it.
askheaves on November 18, 2008 at 5:58 PM
HornetSting on November 18, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Either that, or his Mom sent them to him from Miss’sippi.
He may be covering his **cough** self since Glenn Beck will be on in january and they are getting rid of E.D. Hill..
kingsjester on November 18, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Shep ain’t a conservative.
Neil Cavuto is one of the last remaining voices of reason over there.
Iblis on November 18, 2008 at 5:58 PM

ThePrez on November 18, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Oh great. Just because the One’s president doesn’t mean we should become Truther nutjobs. Let the people see for themselves that the emperor had no clothes.
Achilles on November 18, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Shep always editorializes, either through words or intonation and expression. And he’s almost always on the wrong side of the issue.
progressoverpeace on November 18, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Carl Cameron is reporting that Shep can see something between his legs.
Firebird on November 18, 2008 at 6:00 PM
I take it this guy is guided more by his feelings and the direction the wind is blowing than by principle?
sharrukin on November 18, 2008 at 6:00 PM
And I’m not calling you a nutjob, txsurveryor; I’m saying Keyes is wrong to do that.
Achilles on November 18, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Ha. Listen to him talk about GWarming for ex. He is not apolitical.
Spirit of 1776 on November 18, 2008 at 6:01 PM
It’s one thing when people like Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity offer their opinions on the issues: they’re shows are not “news” and the bias is expected. But I absolutely hate it when “reporters/newscasters” editorialize.
Nevertheless, I have to say: That was kind of hot.
Are we sure that Shep is gay?
patriette on November 18, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Yeah I was kind of troubled by that too. I thought his show was suppose to be news and not news commentary. He did get into commentary here. If he’s going to give his opinion about something (which I prefer he not do) than they should probably label the segment as editorial, as they do with Neil Cavuto. Cavuto has his segment “My Word.” And everyone knows that O’Reilly and Hannity & Colmes are opinion guys. They shouldn’t start blurring the lines.
terryannonline on November 18, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day…
hburns on November 18, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Holy metaphor yucky stew, Batman!
baldilocks on November 18, 2008 at 6:02 PM
No. Like all good liberals he doesn’t want his money spent for the bailouts, just Conservatives money.
Helloyawl on November 18, 2008 at 6:03 PM
Well, Shep was right on there. When he’s right, he’s right!
JellyToast on November 18, 2008 at 6:03 PM
My working theory on Shep is that he’s dating a really liberal gal, and she has him whipped.
So how can I explain today?
I don’t know. But I’m sticking with my theory.
Matticus Finch on November 18, 2008 at 6:03 PM
“It’s one thing when people like Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity offer their opinions on the issues: they’re shows are not “news” and the bias is expected.”
Argh. I’ll grammar-police myself. “their.” not “they’re.” “their.”
It’s been a long day.
patriette on November 18, 2008 at 6:04 PM
………get off your damn knees Shepard!
try again later on November 18, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Shep and Meghan are trying too hard.
sheesh on November 18, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Call me crazy but I’ve always liked watching him. Sometimes he’s annoying as all get out but mostly he’s enjoyable in a funny sort of way.
scalleywag on November 18, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Colmes is too stupid to have an opinion. He just makes utterances. At least he doesn’t drool anymore.
progressoverpeace on November 18, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I can’t wait to see Glenn Beck. He is fantastic. I am sorry that they are getting rid of E.D. Hill, though.
HornetSting on November 18, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Blurring the lines is exactly how we described it, and it happens more and more in many/most Media. In a newpaper, I want a NEWS section separate from an OPINION page, not a news section where I don’t trust that they are presenting all of the facts of the story, but rather, emphasizing some and omitting others to match their agenda.
And on TV I want the same……you are correct about H & C and O’R; they do not make any pretense that that are opinion guys.
Red State State of Mind on November 18, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Say it ain’t so Shep!
christene on November 18, 2008 at 6:08 PM

Gohawgs on November 18, 2008 at 5:48 PM
This. Best comment all day!
conservative_in_texas on November 18, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Glenn Beck might, maybe, get me to watch Fox for that one hour, only.
I haven’t watched any network TV/cable news since November 5th – except the snippits here.
Must say that my whole world view is better for it.
tru2tx on November 18, 2008 at 6:09 PM
it appears many here on HA have a different “theory”
Personally, I don’t care who he dates, but I want at least one TV channel where I can get both sides of an issue in the News. It’s evident to me that many/most of Fox’s best commentators lean right, but at least there are balanced attempts to allow both sides to present their cases.
Red State State of Mind on November 18, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Same here, can’t bring myself to check out any TV, seems when I do some add comes on asking me to buy a set of hussein plates or coins!!
christene on November 18, 2008 at 6:12 PM
Shep’s a moderate populist like O’Reilly. I’d rather listen to that than a full-blown liberal. At least you will agree with a populist more often than not.
Pcoop on November 18, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Shep is not a conservative. He’s a whiny liberal who finds it necessary to give his left wing opinions every single day on what is supposed to be a fair and balanced newscast.
SoulGlo on November 18, 2008 at 6:15 PM
My collie says:
I dunno – maybe that’s why he’s gay.

CyberCipher on November 18, 2008 at 6:18 PM
At least it’s an improvement over the Spanish-language ads that some prick used to run on Fox for months before the election. I never understood why anyone thought that someone watching Fox would need or want a Spanish-language commercial and figured they were wasting money just to tick people off.
The Hussein plates/coins are pretty cheezy, but that fits pretty well with Hussein and his merry band of misfits, morons, and terrorists.
progressoverpeace on November 18, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Agrees. Shep is a media moderate (hint; Liberal).
Dritanian on November 18, 2008 at 6:20 PM
The many faces of Shepard Smith:The chronicles of meh.
The indignant fake outrage he always exhibits is so comical. He is the love child of Bill O’Reilly & Rosie O’Donnell.
Shepard O’Smith, please.
portlandon on November 18, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Maybe he had a dream that he was Alan Colmes, then he woke up in a cold sweat.
manwithblackhat on November 18, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Did you even listen to that? Shep is asking hard questions about why and when we should do a bailout and you respond with “

As in the time when the old CNN anchor Bobbie Batista did a fluff piece about fur coats. She said “They’re nice.. of course I would never wear one”.
LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot on November 18, 2008 at 6:32 PM
But wait there’s more: “Road to the Presidency” video now available, ack barf snort.
Just what I want to do – relive two years of waffles, snark and hyperbole.
tru2tx on November 18, 2008 at 6:33 PM
I’m sorry….I always liked the “Shepster”…he toes the line for no party or ideology. Just tell’s it the way he sees it. Gotta admire that.
*mental note* Don’t email Shep…
JetBoy on November 18, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Wow…who knew that Shep suffered from PMS? He’s been a little cranky lately.
smartsy on November 18, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Shep tore into that dude Fuentes pretty good, I’ve gotta give him that.
However, he needs to watch out or he’ll turn into an O’Reilly, and that’s not a good thing.
m064404 on November 18, 2008 at 6:37 PM
I think we need a deck of cards released to keep track of the idiots. Ace of Spades….Barack Hussein Obama. Enemy of the United States.
HornetSting on November 18, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Is Shep a method actor? What was that pause for effect moment? He has watched Broadcast News too many times.
sherry on November 18, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Shep = Shemp
ohiorebel on November 18, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Why send collie to Korea? There’s lots of Koreans (as well as other Asians) right here where we live. Collie and I like them a lot. They tell me that cats are quite tasty mixed in with a bit of Kimchee.
Come back you silly bumble-bee, and I will taunt you again.
My collie says:
Oh, I dunno. You’ve haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a dish of flame-broiled hornets.
