On the Fixed News channel, specifically on the show Hannity, Bill Cunningham decided it was a good idea to bring up the Bible in a discussion about parenting, which conservatives who don't think for themselves often do. But that isn't the controversial part about it. The controversy is over what he said next, "I say beat kids appropriately and with love." What kind of person makes such a claim? Living in the 21st century, there is ample literature on how to discipline children, and "beating" is not one of the recommendations.
Something else that is also telling is the fact that Sean Hannity did not express surprise or concern over the statement. He just pretended it was normal. However, it is anything but normal to beat another human being in order to force them to comply with your will. Perhaps Hannity would think otherwise if a 350lb weight lifting Democrat decided to apply the same logic on him to force him to vote for Obama. But I would never expect Faux News to be able to recognize such poor reasoning when their entire network is dedicated to the practice thereof.
