Erik Rush Tweets All Muslims Should Be Killed in Response To Boston Explosions? - General MIllsâ„¢ - 12-14-2013 02:31 AM
Your thoughts?
"A tweet by Fox News contributor Erik Rush — that all Muslims should be killed in response to the Boston Marathon bombings — has set off a firestorm of debate on Twitter.
The hashtag #muslims was trending as pro- and anti-Islamic voices weighed in.
In what was widely described as a "joke," Rush tweeted:
"Everybody do the National Security Ankle Grab! Let's bring more Saudis in without screening them! C'mon! #bostonmarathon — Erik Rush (@erikrush) April 15, 2013"
When a responder tweeted, "Are you ALREADY BLAMING MUSLIMS??" Rush responded:
"Yes, they're evil. Let's kill them all."
He later tweeted that he was being sarcastic.
However, when a predictable flood of abuse, shocked disgust and the occasional encouragement came, Rush appeared defiant, retweeting the more profane of the responses."

I'm not surprised at all. Fox News are terrorists.

Other news contributors have been fired for much less serious statements. I wonder if Fox will keep him around. There hasn't even been an arrest or a suspect named, much less a Muslim suspect. What's with the death threats from fox news contributors anyway.....just days ago, Ann Coulter was calling for murdering Megan McCain.

Horrible thing to say, "joking" or not.
