dishonest Fox News is on a daily basis. This is one of their finest examples!

Worth reading the entire page, not just about this drunk Rethuglican mom.

Fox & Friends Hosts "Upset Wisconsin Parent" Amber Hahn To Attack Teaching Union History In Public Schools. From the February 28 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Amber Hahn is a parent, and she joins us live right now from Madison, Wisconsin. She's got three kids in the school system. Amber, what's wrong with teaching about the history of unions in public schools?

6. They should take her children away from her for child endangerment

that is what they would do to anyone else

and about 5 years in jail
she could check out one of those new private prisons

8. Nobody was hurt (though she could have killed those children) and no other

vehicles were involved (though they very well could have been). So I guess that makes it ok.

Repig family values at work once again.

18. OMG, Hey yall. She is from Poynette, small town central.

We head back every year for the holidays. It's a really small town, there is only one grocery store there. The piggly wiggly. Pretty liberal little town too. This will be the talk for years to come.

And that town hates Walker as well.

[JI7]

19. post 15 says she was on the local school board

was she elected to it or if it is that small a town maybe the local school board includes outside areas?

it must suck for the kids but she is at fault for it.

38. Link here to the Poynette School Board page. You can send her an email.

20. Family values! (nt)

[mwb970]

24. Why do republicans behave so badly?

I'm convinced that republicans are defective human beings. We've had a rash of drunken, violent, philandering right-wing politicians here in Ohio in recent months. Apparently this is what you get when you elect dissolute, hypocritical teabagger extremist lowlifes to high office. Remind me - why exactly did we do that again?

[No Elephants]

28. Thank heaven no one was hurt. I hope this is awake call for her and she stops driving drunk and,

if she is an alcoholic, that she gets help.

[greiner3]

32. You forgot to mention;

That she needs to realize science trumps superstition and mythical beliefs. Maybe now she can see through the crap that she was brain washed with and live her life as a thinking human being rather than as the brain washed tool she was raised to be.
