Shepard Smith Denounces Torture: If America Ever Does It, "I Want Off The Train!" (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Fox News viewers witnessed a rather incredible scene on Wednesday as anchor Shepard Smith and Fox contributor Judith Miller (of CIA leak infamy) repeatedly and passionately condemned torture, with Smith declaring at one point, "We are America, we don't torture! And the moment that is not the case, I want off the train! This government is of, by, and for the people -- that means it's mine. That means -- I'm not saying what is torture, and what is not torture, but I'm saying, whatever it is, you don't do it for me! I want off the train when the government starts -- I want off, next stop, now!"
The full segment is worth a watch. And Smith felt passionately enough about ...
Shepard Smith Tells Fox Host: We Are America! We Do Not Fucking Torture!
News Hounds —
I hope you will all join me in giving Fox News host Shepard Smith a virtual standing ovation for his emphatic, no-holds-barred stance against torture. We've been sent two YouTube videos of Smith. One on his own show, Studio B, where he much less excitedly told his guests, “We are America. We don't torture. And the moment that is not the case, I want off the train.” On The Strategy Room, an online show, Smith pounded on the table and said vehemently, “We are America! I don't give a rat's ass if it helps! We do not fucking torture!” With video.
On Studio B, Smith's guest Judith Miller, the disgraced former New York Times reporter, said, “Enhanced interrogation ...
Shepard Smith: America Doesn’t Torture
Outside The Beltway | OTB —
Shepard Smith: America Doesn’t Torture I’m amused by Nico Pitney’s headline, “ Shepard Smith Uncensored: “We Are America, We Do Not F**king Torture!” (VIDEO) .” Mostly because it censors Shepard Smith. But the Left’s sudden embrace of Smith is interesting, too. It may have begun with this recent Esquire profile . He has always managed to be a part of Fox and apart from it at the same time, and in 2008 he distinguished himself by treating Republicans as aggressively as Fox News normally treats Democrats — by seeming fed up with Republicans, and maybe with the strictures of Fox News itself. Now, in 2009, people are asking what’s up with Shep Smith as a way ...
Fox News' Shepard Smith: "We Do Not F*@king Torture!"
Library Grape —
Once you add this to the earlier footage of Fox News' Shepard Smith openly mocking Glenn Beck on the air, he appears to emerging as quite the independent voice over there (h/t QuietObserver): We are America! I don't give a rat's ass if it [torture] helps, we are America! We do not fucking ...

Once you add this to the earlier footage of Fox News' Shepard Smith openly mocking Glenn Beck on the air, I think I may be falling for him (h/t QuietObserver): We are America! I don't give a rat's ass if it [torture] helps, we are America! We do not fucking torture! We don't do ...
Bond accuses Obama of "politicizing" torture; claims sole right to politicize the issue
Fired Up! Missouri —
Via the Post-Dispatch and Star, I see that Kit Bond is accusing Barack Obama of "politicizing" the issue of torture, while showing no restraint in throwing around words like "banana republic" and accusing the President of "stabbing CIA agents in the back." Bond is also accusing the Obama administration of withholding information about the "value" of torture, wonders why Bill Clinton didn't stop the 9/11 terror attacks, and says that Obama is undermining American safety by releasing the information.
I totally agree. The question of whether America should engage in torture should not be a partisan ...
Shepard Smith: 'WE DON'T FUCKING TORTURE!!!'
The BRAD BLOG —
Shepard Smith's days at Fox "News" may have to be numbered at this point. Even the filthy Judith Miller, for Chrissakes, is joining him in being appalled by the torture memos.
"If there was torture, there was a crime. If there was a crime, there were criminals who ordered the torture," he says to the reprehensible apologist Clifford May before he and Miller both concur that these "horrendous techniques are illegal"...
But later, Smith completely blows his stack on Fox's online-only show The Strategy Room, pounding on the table and SHOUTING: "We are ...
Conservatives Attack Fox's Shep Smith
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Media, Viral Video, Guns, TerrorShephard Smith is something of a contrarian at FOX News. Over the past few months, he has often poked fun at Glenn Beck, criticized the use of torture on terror suspects, and this week, cited the Department of Homeland Security's report that singled out right wing hate groups when reporting on the Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting.
If, as Charles Krauthammer put it yesterday, FOX News created an alternate reality for its viewers, Smith has seemed somewhat reluctant to play along. As a result, some conservatives are calling for him to be fired. WorldNetDaily and ...
