Anyone just watch Phelps woman in screaming match on Fox News
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 09:39 PM by Eric J in MN
with woman guest-hosting "The Big Story" (normally hosted by John Gibson)?

The Phelps woman was probably Fred Phelps wife (update: a poster below says probably his daughter). Anyone know who the woman hosting is?

1. Fox. The Jerry Springer Show of News Channels.
Screaming matches. They need people punching out people and the big bouncers, too.

2. Phelps' wife is long-dead
More than likely the woman you saw was his daughter, she's usually the public face of thier church.

4. Yeah...
MY GOD! I have never seen two people get that pissed at each other on the air. I got called into the other room to watch it, as I make a point of not watching Fox News, but WOW! I guess this is what they are going to be doing from now on to get ratings. The money demos have been dropping and they are getting desperate.

23. Agreed.
I saw it too, and it was like Jerry Springer show. I can picture the FAUX board meetings "we need some angry screaming matches to make viewers tune in".

8. Rethuglicans are very good at that. Liberals don't stand a chance
As soon as they are citing irrefutable facts that proves the fallacy of a neocons conclusion -the neocon immediately interrupts and shouts louder than the liberal. And the media usually has 2 or 3 conservatives against one scape goat liberal.
The 4th estate has betrayed our democracy and needs to be held accountable. Media corporations need to get shredded and make reconciliation contributions to a non-commercial selection of truly journalistic sources of information -TV, print, and radio. PBS and NPR need to be rebooted and restored too.

7. The guest host is a woman with black hair, about 33 years old.
Anyone know the name of a Fox News "Big Story" guest host by that description?

11. Shirley Phelps Rogers? She's Fred's evil spawn.
And an attorney herself. She is the heir apparent of the Church of Hate.

17. It might be Shirley Phelps-Roper
I saw her earlier this week when she was interviewed at a 'protest'. She is one mean angry witch.

22. I believe you are correct on the spelling.
Google brought up both, but it looks like it is Roper, not Roger.

I'm sorry I missed the screaming match, though!

18. The Phelps woman was screaming that she was following the
Bible by rebuking homosexuality while guest-host Julie Banderas was screaming that that isn't the message of the Bible and that if Phelps had a son who died in Iraq she wouldn't want protesters at the funeral.

24. Fox has had her on a few times.
They have her on so that they can call her names and look "Fair and Balanced." Despite Fox's attempt to portray he as an extremist, she, like Ann Coulter, is actually a good reflection of the Republican base.

Even Sean Hannity called her a nut job.

26. And where else to turn these days for cool, thoughtful analysis of
events than FOX News?

Some higher-up producer-type or marketing-type made or endorsed the decision to have a hatemonger appear on this program. They're ratings whores from the word go.

And what Phelps says goes out over public airwaves.

It cranks up the ratings and puts pressure on other networks to find something equally strident and psychotic.

In another post on DU recently it was announced that PeeWee Herman's program would replay. That sounds like a far superior programming choice to anything FOX News is serving up.

27. The psychos are finally going down


To a person, these are whacked-out, Jeebus-Gawd-Talks-To-Me-Alone-and-I-Have-the-Power FREAKS. Control freaks, as in they are obsessed with matters that are none of their concern.

They are paralyzed by this obsessive need to control others, but they are also paralyzed by intense fear right now. The Rapture didn't happen and oops! the bills are coming due. Where's Jeebus-Gawd with these gas prices?

They will eat each other alive. FU(X) News is just ready to score some ratings with the carnage.

:popcorn:

33. Here is the full clip posted by the WBC on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCdT9dfrb-Q

I've held silent protests against these people in the past and raised money for GLBT organizations. You get community members to donate "x" amount of dollars for every minute they are there. I raised over $1500 for an organization. I would kindly suggest the same types of proactive protests, since showing up and yelling at them, get us nowhere.
