Wow. Just... wow.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I think someone has officially one upped Anne Coulter. It's bad enough when people think whites marrying black is a perversion...but when Fins and Swedes are suddenly different SPECIES?!
The look on the woman's face is hilarious though. She managed to sum it up sooooo well.
Yeah, so this is soo much worse than anything Jimmy the Greek ever said.
You kind of feel sorry for the guy, I mean, yeah he's an idiot, but now he's out of a job in a down economy.
I hope he and his family does o.k., Thank goodness he'll get that COBRA reimbursement from the stimulus package, so he and his family should be o.k. as far as that goes.
I am soooo grateful I do not have cable so I CANNOT watch these idiots. Obviously, this guy didn't get the memo that racism must now be subtle.
I wonder if all the right wing talking heads who have been attacking Obama's alleged eugenics will now attack this meathead for his grotesquely racist remarks.
They just hire deeply racist hosts.
Other species? So now African-Americans (and even Irish and Italian--listen to the guy!) aren't human, they're other species!
Holy Cow. Now that's another species....
I betcha she ends up here, or in a show with similar dimbulbs. It must be so easy to be a comedy writer now days when these people continuously provide you with material, daily.
Ya Betcha!
I hate to say this, but Kilmeade does have a point, albeit he could have used better rhetoric (different species, that sounds reminiscent of the Eugenics and social darwinism era). This is analogous to saying people marrying in sub-Saharan Africa having a greater immunity to malaria. This is because being heterozygous for sickle cell anemia (having the genotype, but not the phenotype for the disease) has an advantage in combating malaria.
Did Kilmeade sound social darwinist? Yes. Was that his intention? I highly doubt it? Is Kilmeade an opinionated blowhard schmuck? Yes.
Then he should realize that if eugenics would have taken off, he wouldn't be here today.
In opposite world
Mating with 'other ethnic groups' actually improves the gene pool and reduces inbreeding depression. It is called hybrid vigor. Keeping a so called 'pure' society just increases the risk that you will develop a whole plethora of nasty conditions. Somehow I don't think that this is what he was getting at though.
Other species? what a fucking tool.
Gee, I've been through some small towns in Georgia where they must have a REALLY pure society!
And so we see why Al Franken left comedy. It's just geting to damn easy.
This is the same dick that walked of the stage when Jesse Venture was pushing back good and hard on the FAUX talking points. WHAT A DICK!
"The brownshirt guy who isn't Steve Doocy"
First you marry them ,then they want to go to the same schools...where, oh where will it end?
I think what he was trying to do was spit out the common right wing talking point that they use to explain away the fact that citizens of commufascisocialist countries like Sweden continually report experiencing a much better quality of life than we Americans, even though we're "richer", i.e. because they are relatively homogeneous ("pure" in dimbulb-speak), there is less social conflict.
He seriously flubbed the landing on that rhetorical triple-axle. "Pure" genes? Different races="different species"? No racism here - move along now...
if they'd just own their racism like the KKK does. Just come out and say what they really are and what they really mean instead of offering hopelessly defensive "I'm sorry I said something that offended you" type apologies after these "gaffes." But one way or another, their "true colors" keep shining through!
Ignoring the whole another "species" bit (which is a gigantic elephant in the room if we do), he doesn't make sense genetically. A "pure" ethnicity would be more likely to have problems from recessive genetic diseases than a mixed population. Caucasians are more likely to carry the mutation(s) that cause cystic fibrosis for example.
Sweden has same sex marriage and Finland has domestic partnerships!
If you watch and listen to that Fox crap, you are not the sharpest tool in the woodshed yourself.
If you have to laugh a stupids on Fox, you might want to try a mirror.
Last year, I married a dog BECAUSE teh gays got to "marry" each other in Taxachusetts. I gave birth to a litter of half human/half dogs, which I call, being Bigguns, my dogguns, except for the biggest one, which I call my bigdog.
I'd blame the gays, but I rather like being married to a dog.
My purely Icelandic grandmother married a Welshman... no wonder I am such a dork.
"...All, I'm saying, is we marry other species, and...um, well, it's important that we keep our genes pure, and well, um...maybe all of those people advocating Eugenics-based government programs weren't totally off base..."
Fox News: Going from light-coffee-talk, to third-reich-talk faster than you can say "Did he really just say that?"
Carrie Prejean must be proud of my opposite marriage and all.
Hey! You're talking about the girl I took to the Prom!
Its pretty elementary science that states that when you INCREASE a gene pool, you strengthen it, and when you NARROW a gene pool (say, as in incest) you create genetic problems.
Not only is he a moronic racist, he is a dumb-ass moronic racist.
God help me, my parents watch Fox...
...it's just deeply ignorant. He's clearly misusing nomenclature and misapplying concepts he doesn't understand. Fox and Friends wouldn't be half as embarrassing if they stuck to cheese-puff topical issues and didn't try to weigh in with thoughtful analysis of, well, anything.
Thanks to you, we have a lot more to laugh at than just Fox.
Holy shit, that's some serious crazy!
I'm still not certain - are these people trying to do permanent damage to their chances of regaining power? Because...DAMN.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
