On Fox News Sunday today, host Chris Wallace read an e-mail from a viewer attacking Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for having yet to do an interview on Fox News Sunday. Referencing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the viewer claims Obama’s ditching of FNS means he can’t “confront America’s adversaries”:
Obama will sit down with anyone, including Iran’s Ahmadinejad, who calls for the death of the Great Satan America, but FNS, that’s where he draws the line. Can we seriously believe he can confront America’s adversaries when he won’t even sit down with you?
Watch it:
The viewer’s comments, which Wallace made a conscious decision to read on air, echo Fox News chief Roger Ailes’s hysterical claim that “the candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face Al Qaeda.”
