During his June 11 radio program, Rush Limbaugh said of Smith's remarks: "For liberals to now claim that the atmosphere is somehow more violently anti-Obama is simply preposterous."

How can his conscience stand it?" From the post:

On her Twitter account, Fox News political contributor and radio host Tammy Bruce re-tweeted a June 10 tweet that said of Smith: "Can't see TV from here. Did Shepherd Smith get mascara in his eyes again?" Bruce added of the remarks: "LOL!!" From the original tweet by user "darthdilbert":
