VIDEO: Sen. Levin and Fox Anchor in On-Air Scuffle Over Iraq Plan

This morning on Fox & Friends, anchor Brian Kilmeade and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) had a heated exchange over Gen. George Casey’s stated plan to begin redeploying U.S. forces out of Iraq by the end of 2006.

Levin ended the segment by telling the anchor, “Well, thank you for your opinion. But I was hoping this would be an interview of me rather than an interview of you.” Afterwards, Kilmeade was shown scowling and shaking his head. Watch it:

1. Why go on FOX?

The Dems should call a news conference and state publicly that FOX is a propaganda mouthpiece. They must act together in denouncing the network and refuse en mass to go on FOX. When will these guys learn?

5. I think Carl did a good job ...

He had no problem pointing out to the ass-hat that he was spewing (uninformed) opinion.

I think directly confronting the fools is a good route to go ... though I'll admit I never watch FAUX.

8. No-go ON Fox with full guns blazing and say it to their faces.

I would prefer DEMS go on the shows and say they are a "propaganda mouthpiece" to their faces.

If they have a press conferece, the media will just ignore it-like they do all of our press-conferences.

10. Why preach only to the choir?

The FOX audience needs conversion. Every liberal democrat should be trying to get on every Fox News show they can.

2. Fox is primed to go full-on rabid: "Ailes Cracks Whip as Fox News Slips"

Slackers at Fox News Channel, you’re on notice! Your boss is not pleased. Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is on the warpath following his network’s recent ratings slump, and he won’t hesitate to clean house to turn things around....

Insiders say that, even though Fox News remains No. 1, Ailes is fuming over the complacency he senses among staffers....

Commenting through a spokesman last week, Ailes left no doubt: "Anyone who displays launch-type intensity will continue to have a job at Fox News. Those who don’t will not. And that includes talent."

3. what a prick, where do they, m$m, come up with these asshats

4. Fox isn't the MSM - they are part of Bushco.

Their blatant support of this criminal administration and outright lies sets them apart; they're in a league all their own.

7. I think every Democrat needs to "confront" media talking-heads like this.

We need to "get in their faces" and by advesarial.

It's a subtle way to show folks that that the media is indeed against us.

I am glad Mr. Levin did not let this stand- good job, DEMS.

9. Wow, that Faux News anchor was a complete douchebag

11. Snitty, snotty lil' bastid.
