Fox News couldn't even wait for the body count before going on the offensive over the Planned Parenthood shootings.

Frequent Fox News contributor, former NYPD cop, and professional smear-man Bo Dietl was commenting on the then-active crisis unfolding in Colorado when he had what can best be described as incomprehensible, waking stroke:

Again, this is our president acting like a fool. I mean to see something like this, we noticed when the attacks occurred in Paris, when the cops were in their car getting attacked, we have to prepare ourselves. This is a war. We’re against... terrorists are against this country.

It’s going to open up here in America, and we’ve got to be prepared. And we’ve also got to start training all our officers in the use of high powered equipment. We’re dealing with bad people. Our little 9 millimeters are not going to do anything against somebody with an AK-47. [unintelligible—moreso] This is an attack on us; it’s going to be for the next generation. We have to deal with it. We have to prepare ourselves for the worst, and pray that the worst don’t happen.

We now know that the shooter is Robert Lewis Dear, age 59. He was apparently open carrying an AK-47, which we know he is allowed to do because open carry is legal in Colorado Springs. So it must be perfectly fine to waltz into a Planned Parenthood when you're a big tall white dude with a history of torturing small animals and shoot up a bunch of cops and innocent bystanders, because no one can tell who is the bad guy with the gun.

And not one part of that -- not ONE -- is our President's fault. Not even a shred of it. So STFU, Bo Dietl and get some treatment for your brain fart, okay?

Can you help us out?
