Did Fox Cross The Line On Desiline Victor Criticism?

Fox News goes after elderly voter who spent hours in line for an opportunity to vote. 

Have you no shame, Fox News?

Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends.
The "straight" news anchors Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum were on Brian Kilmeade's radio program "Kilmeade & Friends". This is the radio version of "Fox & Friends". It follows the sport anchor Kilmeade into the political jungle with conservative spin.

These clowns were dogging on 102 year old Desiline Victor. The woman waited hours for an opportunity to vote. President Barack Obama signals a fight for equal voting rights. Republican governors are trying to suppress Black, Hispanic and the poor.

Now if they had any sense they would understand this is a controversy.

This voter suppression tactics may have waken a sleeping giant. The turnout for Black and Hispanic voters was very high. The non-White voter went overwhelmingly for President Barack Obama over perennial loser Mitt Romney.

Florida and Ohio are two prized states in most elections. A Republican can't win the presidency without carrying these two states. The Republicans have control of the governorship and state chambers. And through their terms, they'll continue to defy the president at every turn.
Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum of America's Newsroom on Fox News.
Fox News, The Drudge Report and talk radio have enabled Republicans.

Republicans are more misinformed then ever before.

These are the ones who claim supporters of President Barack Obama are "low information voters!"

Keep it up.

NEWSFLASH: NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS! MANY AMERICANS HATE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT MAY COST FAMILIES TO BREAK UP OR FRIENDSHIPS! 

POLITICS IS TOO DIVISIVE! 

PEOPLE LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH, GLENN BECK, SEAN HANNITY, HERMAN CAIN, NEAL BOORTZ AND MICHAEL SAVAGE ARE OLD AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REST OF THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS! 

THEY HAVE A HUGE AUDIENCE OF LISTENERS BUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY NEVER HEARD OF THEM AND DON'T GIVE TWO LICKS ABOUT THEM!

So Media Matters for America is this blog that tracks conservative misinformation. It captures the reaction to the president's mention of Desiline Victor.

Brian Kilmeade along with Fox's Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer laughed off the difficulties 102-year-old Desiline Victor endured in order to vote in the 2012 election. Victor, who was invited to the State of the Union address and whom President Obama applauded for enduring a long wait to vote, had to make two trips to the polls and wait in line for over three hours before she was able to cast her ballot.

Discussing Victor, MacCallum wondered, "What's the big deal?" and said, "This is such a non-issue. Ridiculous." Hemmer added that at the State of the Union, "They held her up as a victim. What was she a victim of?"
