Fox’s Bret Baier Hits Back: ‘No Examples of a Host Saying the President Is a Muslim’

On Monday night, Fox News anchor Bret Baier took a moment to set the record straight.
In response to President Obama’s claim, as reported in David Corn’s new book, that he is losing American males because “fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to sink in,” Baier responded, “For the record, we found no examples of a host saying President Obama is a Muslim.”
David Corn’s book is called “Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party.” In it, he “[takes] the reader into the Oval Office and the back rooms on Capitol Hill for a fast-paced and gripping account of the major events as they unfolded.”
Watch the clip of Baier, courtesy of Mediaite, below:
Politico reports that Corn‘s book will follow key moments of Obama’s presidency, like the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the Arab Spring, and the debt ceiling debate.
Regarding the economy, Corn reports that Obama said, “I saved these guys when the economy was falling off a cliff…Now I get nothing but their venom.”
A brief history of the Fox News vs. Obama feud:

I believe you can probably find more truth in him being a muslim, than all of his actions that makes him appear to be anti-American! Also, there are whole websites that points to a much bigger misrepresentations of his accomplishments and the fact that he continually takes credit for what others have done!

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 3:52pmThe only one on tv that’s called Obama a Muslim is Obama himself. Remember when he slipped and and said people question his Muslim Faith? And the person doing the interview had to correct him, when was the last time someone that is Christian said by accident they were of Muslim faith?
The Only time a Political figure speaks the truth is when they make a gaffe.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:25pmDave — going to church does not make one a Christian. His/her actions are moot. It’s the relationship one has w/the Lord Jesus that makes him/her Christian. The more mature Christians live a life that reflects the love of Jesus for all humanity. However, unlike islam, Christianity requires NO works for salvation. Instead, works are a mere byproduct of the saving relationship. In islam, one has to earn his seat in paradise. In the Jewish world, works show God how much you love Him and that you take fidelity seriously, but ultimately, entry to heaven is based on God’s grace and your connection to Abraham.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:07pmI don’t care if Obama believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster… His policies are still killing this country. Don‘t believe the dialogue of stock market’s index. It is up due to inflation… Realize that the the value of the market is currently worth 8 oz of gold.
The last time this was so (before 2008) was back in 1980. Inflation is set to spiral out of control, and the administration knows it. That is why the Department of Energy are backtracking on the price of gas. It will only hurt the poor. I heard some economists talk about how the rise in gas will not hurt the average American because technology has allowed for telecommute… Well, what about store clerks, janitors, food service, tourism… Only those in corporate America or certain industries will benefit from telecommute. However, this is not the case for all the small businesses or industries that depend on people coming in. How many people will eat in the city for lunch when they telecommute? How about waiting staff that have to drive to work?
The rising gas prices will only hurt the poor. Like alcohol taxes, cigarette taxes, the lottery; they are all taxes that target the poor. The issue is government is grossly overspending due to it’s over extension of power that it was never meant to have. Sure some people may not get healthcare, but if they work hard they could. Sure, not everyone will get to retire, but you save enough and you could.
Report Post »JohnnyMidknight
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:11pmIf you really look at it, the problem is that there are many who do not contribute to society by being productive, thus inflation is constant. Unless people work for what they get, the model of supply and demand will remain broken and their will always be poor. The only way to lower prices is to have more stuff… Thus the entitled must become productive. We can’t force them physically, save cut the entitlements. This will spawn the survival instinct and they will need to produce and work for it.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:46pmI used to think Fox was “Fair and Balanced”. But, there are too many things they won‘t talk about that makes me believe they’re like everyone else … afraid. Why are they not reporting all the abuse and shenanigans that has been going on at polling places around the country concerning Ron Paul? Ron Paul actually stood a pretty good chance of being in the running if the establishment Republicans (or should I say, Rinos?) would have allowed it. While I do not agree with everything Ron Paul has said, especially on foreign policy, he’s the best person running and the one with the most sense. Romney and Santorum are just another Bush. Gingrich changes his stance with the direction of the wind. Paul has been consistent throughout the years. Yet Fox has done everything they could to demean him and knock him down. I used to trust and watch the O’Reilly Factor, but as soon as Bill started in on his “Ron cannot win this election” even before it started, I was through with him. Fox is about as worthless now as MSNBC.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:36pmGot a question, since Obama enacted his emergency powers executive orders and has other ones already in place. Is it possible to declare an emergency and thus suspend the future elections process, as we would be dealing with an ‘emergency’ which is now loosley defined???? The powers he would have are omnious and could even be used for sinister intentions like NWO and such beautiful thooughts. All these regulations (alot unknown about) and special laws must have a purpose and especially since being enacted in fairly short order, why???? If elections could be postphoned, alot of things could transpire under the king rules by executive orders, type program.

Posted on March 21, 2012 at 9:14amFox and Fox’s audience are not responsible for rumors of the president being Muslim. Not that his religion matters, but it is people on the left that keep talking about it, and it is them who keep spreading this fake story. They try to say people on the right are calling him Muslim but it’s really not completely the truth. His religion doesn’t matter, however his lack of following the constitution IS what matters and that is the real problem.
