I made the mistake yesterday of wondering what the GOPropaganda machine at FAUX News was up to lately, so I caught a segment of Greta Van Susteren interviewing some woman about a truckers "Ride for the Constitution" in Washington, D.C. this weekend.

I started paying attention when this woman said “We want the president of the United States removed from office. He is a
threat to our national security. He is a threat to our way of life.” Wha? Greta let that inflammatory statement go without any questions, and stuck to the FAUX News script of promoting this event.

Don't call yourself a "journalist," Greta. You are a carnival barker.

Here is how the interview was reported. Ride spokesperson says main goal: Impeach Obama:

The trucker protest planned for this weekend, in addition to stating industry-related demands, is taking broad shots at President Obama and politicians in general.

Ride for the Constitution spokesperson Zeeda Andrews, interviewed
Tuesday on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren,” mentioned
trucking “regulations” broadly in describing the convoy’s mission, but
also pointed to the effort’s main purpose: “We want the president of the
United States removed from office. He is a threat to our national
security. He is a threat to our way of life.”

From the DCCC:

Public statements from 22 House Republicans and a letter signed by 195
House Democrats make it crystal clear—there are the votes in the House
to pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government and fund
it at levels Republicans have demanded. Yet Speaker Boehner refuses to
call a vote, leading us to one of two conclusions—either he can't count,
or he's just chicken. The DCCC released a video wondering, what is John
Boehner scared of?

"Everyone else knows what Speaker Boehner
continues to deny—that the votes are there in the House to pass a clean
CR—yet he refuses to bring it up for a vote. Is John Boehner too
chicken, and too afraid of losing his gavel to the Tea Party, to allow
the House to vote and allow the government to reopen?"

Video below the fold.
