Fox News Host Endorses Tasering Defenseless Female Protesters

Oh, those lazy, hazy, tase-y days of autumn:

A Fox News morning host has a novel idea to handle those pesky Code Pink protesters who disrupt political events and Congressional hearings: 50,000 volts of electricity.

This from the station that's also pushing Three-Wives Rudy. What exquisite family values they continue to display!

Brian Kilmead shared his ever-so-evolved views on crowd control Monday morning in a Fox & Friends discussion of a Code Pink-disrupted Hillary Clinton speech. His answer to annoying anti-war types? Tasers or Billy clubs.

So much for compassionate conservatives.

[Brian] Kilmead's Taser-lust came one day after a 20-year-old Maryland man died after being shocked by police.

The world's not violent enough. We need more. And who better to condone brutality than Faux News?

The Fox hosts used the disruption to remind viewers of Code Pink's habit of disrupting Capitol Hill hearings, and they re-played the famous "don't Tase me bro" sound-bite from a University of Florida student earlier this year. The student's screams seemed to delight the hosts, and Kilmead clearly wanted to hear more of them.

If he wants more, he could always volunteer to be on the receiving end to satisfy his insatiable lust.

"I would be for Tasing anyone in Code Pink," he says. "I'm pro-Pink Tasing."

What a fine, upstanding paragon of unbiased reporting. What a rational individual! Be proud.

And as a side note, somebody might want to remind the female host that Seinfeld episodes rerun daily.
