“Fox & Friends” Host Steve Doocy Falsely Identifies Barack Obama At Polling Place, Says Of Black Man: “There He Is!”

“Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy falsely identified Barack Obama while waiting for the Democratic nominee to emerge at his polling place in Chicago Tuesday morning.”There he is, he just walked in,” Doocy said, as the image of a casually dressed, random black man appeared across the screen. “That’s a picture, the back of his head, into the gymnasium to cast his vote. I think we know who he’s gonna be voting for.”

Zombie Killing Tools

For fighting larger-scale zombie outbreaks in the open field, there is no finer tool than the Zombie Tools Two-handed Apocalax. The extra double-fisted heft of this girl gives her devastating striking power, while a carefully tapered blade reduces tip weight for a speedy return—just the action you need for dispatching a horde of undead bitches* under pressing time constraints. Like all Zombie Tools blades, the Apocalax is cut from 5160 spring steel, hardened, tempered, and expertly sharpened. The 14-inch handle is hand-sculpted from T6 aluminum and lightly textured in a ferric chloride acid bath for a firm grip and bonus style points. Why merely survive the Apocalypse when you can thrive?

Even Buchanan is Disgusted

SCHIEFFER: Let’s give Senator McCain a short response…

MCCAIN: Just again…

SCHIEFFER: … and then…

MCCAIN: Just again, the example of the eloquence of Senator Obama. He’s health for the mother. You know, that’s been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything.

That’s the extreme pro-abortion position, quote, “health.”
