of course Fox would vilify King. But imo so would the mainstream media. The mainstream media would treat King as a fringe nutcase, and they would advise the Democratic party not to have anything to do with him.

They were specifically talking about abortion but I'm sure he'd also want to put the OWS people in their place too. Anything to hijack him for their cause.

I agree with the panel. They called him a communist then, why wouldn't they do so now?
