Fox News host slams Obama's tearful display, says he hid 'raw onion' in podium

Republican politicians and commentators have been lining up to criticise Obama for his emotional gun control announcement.

Raw Story / YouTube

REPUBLICAN COMMENTATORS AND politicians have been lining up to pour scorn on Barack Obama, in the wake of the US President’s emotional announcement on gun control.

Speaking at the White House earlier, Obama became emotional as he remembered the 20 schoolchildren gunned down in Newtown, Connecticut three years ago.

“Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad,” the President said, as he welled up.

The limited measures are aimed at tackling rampant gun violence in the US by making it harder to buy and sell weapons.

Republican White House hopefuls like Marco Rubio and Ben Carson have been taking to the airwaves to criticise the announcement – while some of the harshest criticism came from Fox News hosts Andrea Tantaros and Meghan McCain.

His comment about gun violence in Chicago in particular drew the ire of Tantaros, who co-hosts the Outnumbered programme on the conservative news channel.

“He’s almost at the end of his term, and you haven’t seen him go to Chicago and speak out about this issue, and he is uniquely poised to do so really.

Everything he’s doing won’t solve the problem. So I would check that podium for, like, a raw onion, or some No More Tears. I mean… It’s not really believable… ‘And the award goes to…’

teards Andrea Tantaros Fox News Fox News

Co-host Meghan McCain – a daughter of Senator and former GOP White House candidate John McCain – said Obama’s Chicago remark “didn’t seem horribly authentic”.

“Maybe it is, I don’t know him at all.

But, I agree with you there’s so much more to be done. Again – if you care so much, go to your home town of Chicago instead of talking about God-fearing Americans who just want to protect themselves when Isis is coming into their home town and shooting up 14 people.

(For the record, Obama visited Chicago at the end of October. Gun violence was the main topic of his speech to a conference of law enforcement officials).

mm Meghan McCain Fox News Fox News

Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan said Obama’s announcement amounted to a “form of intimidation that undermines liberty”.

Plenty of people have also been taking to Twitter to criticise the President’s ‘fake’ and ‘crocodile’ tears.

    Fox “News” is just a sick and cynical joke which lacks any journalistic and broadcasting integrity.

    Gun culture is a major problem in the US and the Presidential executive actions are modest by comparison to the severity of the problem.

    The sincerity was obvious and Obama’s palms were on show at least 4 times. No onions.

    89 people per day on average are killed each day in the US by guns. Us gun related deaths are higher than in any other country in the world which is not subject to armed hostilities.

    Looking at the Human Development Index for 2012 , some interesting comparative figure emerge in relation to gun related homicides on a rate per 1 million people.
    Australia 1.4
    New Zealand 1.6
    IRELAND 4.8
    Canada 5.1
    Belgium 6.8
    Switzerland 7.7

    USA (all States) 29.7

    Switzerland is regarded as having a high rate of gun related homicide for such a placid and stable society, with a relatively high of social inclusion and cohesion, but we can see that the rate of gun related homicide per 1 million persons in the US is almost 4 times that of Switzerland.

    A factor, not the sole factor, but an important factor in homicides in the USA is extremely easy access to legal and illegally held guns.

    Obama is right to take these limited Executive actions, even if they are inadequate.

    Ubiquitous gun ownership and possession in the US reinforce gun culture and vice versa. Inhibition against using guns is reduced. Then political thought starts to see freedom to own and to display guns as sensible and even admirable.

    Russia, Mexico and Brazil have a massive social disorder problem, with organised crime, political corruption and massive social inequality, even worse than the U.S. These are States in a continuing state of disintegration. None of these countries have reliable statistics either on gun ownership or gun related deaths. These countries cintain widespread armed hostilities.

    I think that even the U.S. would not consider comparisons with Russia, Brazil or Mexico valid or reasonably comparable.

    Fiona, you act as if the deaths in America are in stable social areas. The fact is 60% of all gun-related deaths in America are attributed to gangland violence. Gangs, as you know, are generally confined to areas of socio-economical deprivation with lower levels of policing, lack of social amenities and low income levels.

    Therefore the comparisons between the death rates in the US, Russia, Brazil and Mexico are relevant.

    But but Jason you fail to mention that in America virtually every petty criminal has a gun be it thieves or the small time drug dealer, in Ireland petty thieves or small town drug dealers generally don’t have guns, keeping dressing it up Jason but for anyone who is not hindered by tunnel vision America has a serious serious problem with guns, and you can include about half the adult population of America who recognise this fact.

    Yes William you do need stats, otherwise you look like you’re simply making things up because you don’t know what you’re talking about. It has been proven time and again that it doesn’t take much for a criminal to get access to a firearm here in Europe. A Dutch news channel with zero background in criminality managed to purchase a fully-automatic AK in just 2 weeks illegally to prove how easy it is.

    I actually get my stats from the FBI and US Department of Justice who both have a strong interest in curtailing access to firearms in the US. Even their stats don’t show a correlation between increased gun control and reduced gun fatalities in the US.

    Try this then Jason,

    “The U.S. represents less than 5% of the 7.3 billion global population but accounted for 31% of global mass shooters during the period from 1966 to 2012, more than any other country, Mr. Lankford said, adding that he defines a mass shooter as one who killed at least four victims. The 90 killers who carried out mass shootings in the U.S. amounted to five times as many as the next highest country, the Philippines, according to his research.

    Adjusting for population, the difference was smaller: The number of public mass shooters for the U.S. was 65% higher per capita than the per capita rate for the Philippines.

    Mr. Lankford, who collected information on mass killings from law-enforcement reports, scholarly articles and news articles, found that mass shooters in the U.S. were much more likely to strike at school and workplace settings, and to use multiple weapons compared with the other countries in the study, more that 170 in all.”

    How do you explain then that between 2009 and 2015 Germany had a frequency of mass shootings per million inhabitants which is 1.96x higher than that of the US while the UK had a frequency of 2.46x the US?

    It is a simple statistical fact that the number of mass shootings has declined to such a rate that many countries in Europe are actually, on a per capita basis, worse than the US for mass shootings even with stricter gun controls.

    Or you need to be able to understand the statistics and facts. Even though the US has the most firearms per capita of the developed world, it doesn’t have the highest death rate per capita or occurrence rate per capita of mass shootings in the developed world.

    Roughly 60% of deaths in America to guns are caused by gangland violence using illegal weapons. The next highest category is suicide, followed by accidental shootings. Intentional killings of innocent civilians is a comparatively small percentage of the total number of deaths due to firearms there.

    Tina, that still results in a statistically small number of mass shootings per capita. As I said, America is still nowhere near the worst country for mass shootings per capita or fatalities per capita due to mass shootings in the developed world. America currently stands on 0.09 per million fatalities due to mass shootings while Norway, for example, is on 2.0.

    Your comparing apples and oranges Jason. America is a continent with a far greater population size than Norway which is country. The issue surrounding guns is that it is too accessible. Many people may have a sane mind to own a gun that does not give them the knowlege to use it effectively. How many deaths related to guns accidents have a occurred in the US? 33000 How many toddlers have shot and killed due to the ineptnes of parents not keeping guns safe? 43 Human error is natural thing but when it comes to guns it always is a fatal consequence.

    ““The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors–psychology, sociology, women’s studies–to prove that nothing is anybody’s fault. No one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you’d have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal view.”

    Ah well, it’s sad for the people who hide their identify, and feel that calling other humans “names” is the ultimate offence. To me it’s puerile, and for intellegent readers is evidence that they possess no arguments. Like all bullies, they gang up. So the greatest calamity ever to befall mankind, it’s loathing of its own issue, abortion; becomes the rallying point for hate among mankind. Society today, despite its technical advances, maybe because of its technical advances, loathes all faiths that encourage morality. We kill more humans annually, than the worst despots in history accumulated together, did in a lifetime. Yet somehow we are superior, advanced, modern, and the dispensers of titles to other humans. So the child defender, becomes the abuser, the protector of life is told to ” get a life”, those who defend life are “obsessing”. It’s always amusing how those who promote the murder of the innocents, are obsessed about religion. The only people talking about faith here are those who want to do the killing. Methinks he doth protest too much. Let the neutral reader, observe and be wise, as to who are the innocent, and who are the would-be despots. The name calling has no effect on me as I know whom I am, but it should indicate where the truth lies for the observant reader. Name calling is the trademark of the bully, but these hiding bullies add murder to their arsenal. Obamas tears are hollow, because for him to cry for children on the one hand, while he kills them with the other, is hypocritical. It is even more loathsome because he is the holder of what is one of the highest offices in the world. I hope he is ignorant of that hypocrisy, that his blind spot is so profound that he cannot see the irony. If that is the case, it’s just ignorance, and not deliberate deceit.

    South Dakota refuses to use the funding for rape + incest even though it is a violation of the law.

    If you are looking for fall guy for abortion, you need look no further than the Supreme Court that ruled on Roe v Wade which provided for abortions to be legal. Planned Parenthood has been funded through successive presidents since the ruling comes out. Thus, according to your argument, Nixon (R), Ford (R), Carter (D), Reagan (R), Bush (R), Clinton (D), and Bush (R) have countless millions of aborted foetuses blood on their hands. It’s an insane argument on a poorly formed platform. But I’m the forgiving sort, try again.

If you really are anti-abortion, then you would be concerned about all abortions. The reason abortions are legal is because of a Supreme Court case. Period. If Obama sings “Hail Hail to Planned Parenthood” that in now way endorses abortion activity. And, to add to this point, PP services offered and funded by the US government are for women’s health care. Only 3% of their total services are for abortions. That means that 97% are for women’s health care. Knock it off with the junior arguments lad, pull up your panties, and offer something substantive.

    Obama is a showman and a sublime actor and ive no doubt he engineered the tears. I believe he does care, however i believe he is more than capable of not crying in public.

    @Aidan@Suzie Sunshine@Paddy Scully……..There seems to be people who slambase the Church using fantasy stats. I’m no expert on the subject here, and not a catholic, but the accusation s that all priests/ministers are sex offenders doesn’t ring true and a quick google confirms this,
    —”Sexual abuse of minors is not the province of the Catholic Church alone. About 4 percent of priests committed an act of sexual abuse on a minor between 1950 and 2002, according to a study being conducted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.Apr 18, 2010
    Five myths about the Catholic sexual abuse scandal below link.

    I don’t think anyone with half a brain is saying that all or most priests are guilty of child abuse, but the institution that is the Catholic Church failed at every opportunity to deal with those that were guilty and in many cases made things worse by hiding and moving around those that committed those evil acts.

    Exactly, guilty in the first degree. For every abuser, there were untold numbers who assisted in the cover up. How many priests is 4% and how many victims had each priest and you’ll find a number in the thousands. Thats the number I’m interested in, no matter what way you twist them. Thousands of young lives ruined. But you go ahead and continue being an apologist.

    If God is so great and powerful, how come he let all those priests get caught?

    Yes,Paddy,we know that ‘not all priests or nuns abuse’ -but we are more aware of the paedophillia crimes by members of their flock and the cover ups by the bishops etc etc..

    America has always suffered from the threat of class divisions and ethnic race divides, but Obama did try to implement free medical services, change gun laws and implement better foreign policy. Front runners for the Republicans offer what? Trump?

    Plutocratic – Big business politicians seek to keep working class divided and broke in order to preserve banking and conglomerate companies. Obama has been one of the best presidents since Kennedy

    She looks like she could fit a raw onion in her mouth. Professional like. In reality though you could actually kill someone with an onion just as much as a rock or a brick or a hammer or a gun. We need to ban onions, rocks, bricks, hammers and guns.

    Sad to see Americans so quick to dismiss emotion and a pro-active response when discussing Americans murdering their fellow citizens, and then attempting to pivot the conversation towards the Middle East. Like it’s not even possible and accidental. The hypocrisy, given they then openly acknowledge gun violence as an “issue” and a “problem” without naming and rationally talking through the issues and problems. Accusing the President of politicising, as they proceed to politicise. So much wrong and hugely disrespectful to all concerned with this. Shameful display by so-called journalists, including the host who allows it.
