]]> The premiere Birther site has a little fun with Shepard Smith’s on-air criticism of the conspiracy theory email he gets at Fox News, and conducts a poll: “What do you think of Shepard Smith calling eligibility skeptics ‘crazies’? ”

Somebody from Fox News calling right-wingers “crazies”? Priceless!

He’s right – what’s the problem?

Shep nailed it – I have new respect for Fox News

His comments were just window dressing for Fox’s right-wing agenda

Controversy sells – it was a smart marketing move on his part

He’s just one voice on Fox

It looks like Fox has one house liberal

Whatever happened to “fair and balanced”?

It looks like he’s brushing up on his resume for MSNBC

Shepard Smith is a loose cannon

His good poise and great facial structure overshadow his analytical abilities

He doesn’t even demonstrate journalistic curiosity about legitimate questions over Obama’s eligibility

Other

Come for the poll, stay for the unsubtle gay-bashing in the comments.
