FOX News Trying to Cover Up Jim Gibbons' Hate Speech

The Right Wing Noise Machine at FOX is trying to spin Nevada Congressman and Governor Wannabe Jim Gibbons' nasty little speech he gave in Elko. Gibbons said, among other things, that liberals should be used as "human shields" in the war on terrorism.

It turned out that the speech was plagiarized.

Now Fox "News" is trying to spin the story. See

2. I'll say it's pathetic

Gibbons is apologizing to Beth Chapman about not knowing that her speech from which he borrowed without permission was copyrighted.

That's pathetic. They both should be apologizing for its content.
