Fox News: "Don't Remember' Any Terrorist Attacks / Bush Watc

Fox News' Eric Bolling: 'I Don't Remember' Any Terrorist Attacks On America During President Bush's Term (VIDEO)

Fox News host Eric Bolling pulled a Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday, asserting that there were no terrorist attacks on "American soil" during President Bush's term in office.

Giuliani famously made a similar assertion in early 2010, saying, "we had no domestic attacks under Bush." Of course, the 9/11 attacks happened under Bush.

Bolling's misstatement came during a discussion on the network's Glenn Beck replacement show, "The Five." He and a panel—which included former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino—were arguing about whether Bush had been guilty of "fear-mongering" during his tenure. Panelist Bob Beckel said that the former president had used fear-mongering around the non-existent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. As he attempted to continue his point, Bolling cut him off and started to move on to the next segment.

"America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008," he said. "I don't remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time." Nobody on the panel challenged this comment.

You can't make this stuff up... "Fair and [un]Balanced" 'R' Us..." Their Kool-Aid bill must be astronomical!

When Ailes worked for Nixon, he realized how he could plant stories and really wanted to control the news for the GOP.
Here's the blueprint - A 15 page memo entitled A PLAN FOR PUTTING THE GOP IN THE NEWS

Republican media strategist Roger Ailes launched Fox News Channel in 1996, ostensibly as a "fair and balanced" counterpoint to what he regarded as the liberal establishment media. But according to a remarkable document buried deep within the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the intellectual forerunner for Fox News was a nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the "prejudices of network news" and deliver "pro-administration" stories to heartland television viewers.

The memo—called, simply enough, "A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News"— is included in a 318-page cache of documents detailing Ailes' work for both the Nixon and George H.W. Bush administrations that we obtained from the Nixon and Bush presidential libraries. Through his firms REA Productions and Ailes Communications, Inc., Ailes served as paid consultant to both presidents in the 1970s and 1990s, offering detailed and shrewd advice ranging from what ties to wear to how to keep the pressure up on Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the first Gulf War.

Clearly he meant after 9/11, but nitpickers can go ahead and run with it.

Kind of like "57 states"?

Bush was a BULLDOG...And I am looking forward to going to my 55th soon. rofllol

Kerry made reference to the catsup bottle, TOAB ran with it.

you know, I think that the first Bush was a pretty good president, looking back on it. His only mistake were those 6 little words.

The six little words weren't the mistake, the mistake came in compromising with the Democrats that controlled Congress regarding those six little words so that they could then turn around and use his willingness to compromise with them to anger the voters and get their man elected.

I gotta hand it to you PrintSmith, no one can spin mistakes by conservatives into blaming liberals quite like you can. Who knew that the democrats had such power over republicans.....

They don't have power over conservatives my friend, which is why there is such a brew-ha-ha in DC at the moment. What they are very good at is misinforming the voters. What happened to GHW Bush after he said he wouldn't raise taxes and then compromised with the Democrats should be a fair warning to the current crop of Republicans who might be similarly inclined. The Democrats will leave sacrifice then on the political alter as well the next election cycle. You didn't see too many of them defending GHW Bush in the 1992 election cycle, did you? Did you see a lot of them saying that he was a person they could work with and that he should be reelected? Oh no, they replayed that bit over and over and over again in their campaign ads that fall - cultivating the anger so that people would vote against him, as opposed to for Clinton, when the drape was drawn and they were alone in the voting booth. That's not spin my friend, it's simply the history of what happened.
