Lincoln Douglas Debate Fox News Style

[faithandproof]

JESUS NOT MORE THAN A MESENGER...

WAKE UP..

[theclawism]

This video is doctored.

[tuffy321]

morons

[JerichoDitch2]

they might as well have put up a picture of Michael Douglas

[RiCeCracKer894]

FAIL. lmao

[XiDecepi]

rofl they know they have the wrong douglass in the picture right?

[Jonathan6561]

Sometimes I think Fox knowingly puts up false information to test how ignorant their viewer base is.

[tumblingwall]

So does that mean they thought a black man was running for president then? Or do they also not know what the debates were?

[ywldntulookatmedring]

I think they are more stupid than the intern for putting up a picture of frederick douglas instead of steven douglas. A debate between Abe Lincoln and Frederick Douglas wouldn't be a debate at all. It would be an agreeance.

[defexorcist]

If you're bragging about making someone else look stupid, but the joke is on you because you're the real idiot, and you're doing it on the air, then you probably work at Fox News.

[xanderthemanonthe]

that woman doesn't look real.

[mpeachw57]

it has nothing to do with the political views of the news casters!!! it was just one fucking idiot that doesn't know U.S history. fuckers!

[CopyboyVideo]

@mpeachw57 It has everything to do with their political views. Being misinformed and disinterested and loudy professing facts that are complete made up nonsense to prove a point is what being a Republican is all about! This is hardly the only example of the thousands of things Fox News has gotten wrong just in the past 2 years.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

Motherfuckers. Stephen Douglas, not Frederick Douglass!

[elv1558]

Am I the only one who hopes the intern did it on purpose to get back at this guy for being an jerk? Way to pester your interns and then brag about it.

[qqwink]

ahh...8th grade history

[Ishatawk]

AHAHAH. Way to put Frederick Douglass, one of the most famous abolitionists of all time in the picture instead of Stephen Douglas, the "little giant" maker of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Classic Fox. Lincoln and Douglass actually agreed with each other (at least in principle - Lincoln was not initially for freeing all blacks and giving them equal rights). But they were both abolitionists - just to varying degrees.

[dreiffie1219]

WHAT FUCKING IDIOTS!!!

[megzgotbackmafucka]

good thing they got the wrong douglas. classic fox

[xtremepado123]

Fair and balanced news guys. fair and balanced news

[HNK222]

WOW! Talk about mind-numbingly stupid!

THIS is the reason rightwingers voted for Bush! They get their information from assholes!

[KoroOutbreak]

Fox News talking about "elevating the level of discourse," very good. And then the wrong guy on the screen. Classic Republican stupidity.

[Nigrescence]

LOL

Wrong "Douglass/Douglas".

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[cew62]

I don't no what's worse, them thinking people are too stupid not to see through this thinly vailed rasist crap, or knowing that the average fox viewer is.

[patentedtec]

"If you read those transcripts...they're fascninating"

Fox News viewers are thick as fuck.

[MauryDann73]

Wow! I didn't realize that, during slavery, a black man made a serious run at the White House! That's amazing. Thanks for the history lesson, Fox News!

[apowell22791]

the Douglas/Lincoln debates were actually for the Illinois senate, only pointing that out so we can continue to stay above Fox's level

[MauryDann73]

Yeah, I was like, "D'oh!" about two seconds after I posted the reply. Oops. Yes, the race was for the Illinois Senate.

[TheFauxNewsChannel]

LOL!!!

Classic.

[lilbaumer27]

First off, that's Fredrick Douglass, an escaped slave. Second off, if they knew that was Fredrick Douglass, they still spelled it wrong because it's Stephen Douglas then Fredrick Douglass. I swear, we live in a seriously messed up nation. Good luck getting past that one Fox! Wow.

[NyBob85]

Fox and Friends is painful to watch, although this weekend crew isn't quite as insufferable as the Monday-Friday brain trust that is Doocy, Carlson, and the legally retarded Brian Kilmeade.

[Arguman]

The best part of this video is that that one guy is talking about poking fun at the video intern for looking for non existent video

[TheFauxNewsChannel]

Have to love the geniuses at Fox & Fiends....they're so smartified.

[NerdoMcEinstein]

I can't believe things like this can happen on accident. It's not possible.

Haven't the people over at Faux News ever heard of Wikipedia? It's 2008 - all you have to do is type "lincoln douglas" into Google and click a link.

How is it possible to make a mistake like this?

[nutmeg42]

WHEN will the vacuousness that is Faux and Friends end?

[Saiyuki02134]

Aparently the folks at Fox News possess fewer neurons than an average garden potato. To mix up Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who wrote polemics against the institution, and Stephen Douglass promoting the chattel rights involved in the expansion of slavery into the territories. Fair and Balanced indeed!

[steveeex7]

I thought it was Michael Douglas and ahhh...Thank God Fox News is fair and balanced, now, if they can just get it right!

[monkeyeggs17]

and this is why we're all going to die....

[pcdosgirl]

ROFL!

[thelemonkid1]

idiots.

[goblue0021]

Fox is an excellent network. Being number 1 will upset almost anyone. :(

[airoff]

Holy shit. Are Fox "News correspondents" literally retarded?!

[robertschrader]

I thought the debate was between Lincoln and Steven Douglas, not Frederick Douglass?

[grazon]

Are they all on crack?
