Fox News' Kilmeade: We "marry other species," Finns "pure"

The host compares Finland, Sweden's "pure society" to the U.S., where "we marry everybody"

Kilmeade just confused his GOP talking points

Saying same-sex marriage will lead to someone marrying a sheep or a dog is standard GOP talk.

You see, Kilmeade is trained to keep spouting GOP talking points and not let anyone else get a word in. When he automatically started reciting the "same-sex marriage will lead to humans marrying animals" talking point he lost his train of thought. Since the talking point didn't fit so well he got confused and couldn't continue to justify relating it to the current topic. He couldn't stop though and at some point his brain just shut down while his mouth kept going.

Simple! His training took over and prevented coherent thought.

This knucklehead

wouldn't know someone from a different species if he saw one. Genus you idiot. He heard "trains" when God was handing out "brains" and ran for cover. Nauseating...

NP NP

I would bang any of Fox's bottle blond fembots ...

Until bolts and wires fell out her ass.

I've often had that thought myself (shameful, I know, but Meagan Kelly turns me on) and I simply force myself to turn away, recall my nobler self, and get my thoughts in order.

There's a graduate study here in the making--nothing new or unique, I'm sure, but maybe worth investigating; how is it that certain physical attributes can mask, as it were, a repulsive "reality" that's being presented? This, after all, is the essence of FoxNews.

Finns and Swedes.....

In my part of the world "tolerance" means letting your round headed Finnish offspring date Swedes.

Norwegians? Forget about it! Squareheads and Roundheads can't produce viable offspring to pull the plow.

It's all in the Numbers

The true or real base of the GOP is exactly what again today? Why is this Arien spew here such a surprise to anyone? The party is literally dying faster that you can dig a 6x6 and they continue to alienate every minoirty group within ear shot on a daily basis.

It's somewhat apparent to me at least that they don't care and are willing to roll the dice with the 15% Independent vote after they lock down the

Evangelical cattle call with phony patriotism and laughable family values campaigns. Fox will contine to be the perfect mouthpiece for them too along with their repulsive and moronic talk show confederates.

I look for more of this kind of incidence as well.

Real or imagined it doesn't make any diffrence to these people. They simply want to be back in power and will play whatever card they need to that will put them there.

so ,,,,, Any questions on what spieces fox new is.

Well it leaves little question in your mind which spieces Fox new is, The right winged bigoted spinner I do believe. Not a true news network at all really. More an idiology.

People on Fox

ARE other species.

Another racist Celt who doesn't know his own history

Kilmeade is an Irish name. The town of Kilmeade is southwest of Dublin. Certainly well within raiding and burning distance from Viking ships.

Those wonderful pure Swedes Brian loves so much probably raped and pillaged more than a few of Brian's ancestors back in the day.

He's probably a Viking-Celt mixed breed himself.

I guess he's mad because they won't let him in the dog show cause he's not pure enough. Whatever.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 02:37 PM

yikes

Wow. I am shocked at his blatant racist crap. What a moron.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 02:40 PM

Your right; nothing new.

There's a graduate study here in the making--nothing new or unique, I'm sure, but maybe worth investigating; how is it that certain physical attributes can mask, as it were, a repulsive "reality" that's being presented? This, after all, is the essence of FoxNews. -- Timothy3

Go back to all the Nazi propaganda films of the 1930s that show all the strapping blond men and buxom blond women that represented the Aryan ideal. It was carried to it furthest possibility in who was, initially, allowed into the SS.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 02:40 PM

mixing up GOP talking points

wysiwyg has it right. I mean, if you buy the results of the study, that means that marriage is good for people. Isn't that what the wingers want to hear?

As for the pseudo-Darwinian bullshit, I really don't know what to say.

Proof that FOX is not the MSM

Because if anybody on ABC, CBS, NBC, the NYT, WP, or other so-called "mainstream" sources had offered something like that, they'd be shredded by now.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 02:50 PM

Yes, ikuiku

Go back to all the Nazi propaganda films of the 1930s that show all the strapping blond men and buxom blond women that represented the Aryan ideal. It was carried to it furthest possibility in who was, initially, allowed into the SS.

I was fumbling about, mentally, trying to recall Riefenstahl's name but, at the time I posted, couldn't bring it up.

It's exactly like that.

And it's what's so disturbing about the whole enterprise (FoxNews, that is).

Purity of Essence

One day you're complaining about miscegenation and inter-species marriage, pretty soon you're ranting about our precious bodily fluids and fluoridated water...

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 03:58 PM

My Swedish ancestors weren't even Swedish

They came from France with Marshal Bernadotte when he was elected Charles XIV John, King of Sweden. I guess Swedes were defiling their race at least as far back as the 18th century.

That Was Pretty Bad

I often bemoan the War Room's quick criticisms of the country's conservatives, but I applaud these criticisms. We need to hold media figures to account, and this host's comments were pretty bad.

This occurs all the time at Fox, unfortunately. Great work, Mr. Koppelman.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 04:53 PM

Perhaps

Perhaps we should send Fixed News a post of readerx2's from the campaign wherein he waxed eloquent on the physical traits of those attending a Palin rally in Indiana. I'm sure they'd appreciate it and agree. Perhaps they'd even make room for him at the table!

Fox news & species

Well intermarriage between species would explain the people on fox news. Does anyone know if these new species have graduated from middle school?

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 04:56 PM

Well, yeah.

We keep marrying women and I'm pretty sure they're a different species....: )

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 06:09 PM

I am sure it would have made a lot more sense...

Re: Kilmeade just confused his GOP talking points

Right, Koppelman covered that about a month ago:

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2009/05/28/ducks_video/index.html

That was also pathetic, yet comical.

To be fair, these people are having a tough time just keeping their heads from exploding lately.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 07:31 PM

Oh gosh I just saw the rest of what he said

"In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish."

Does Brian Kilmeade not know that his name is 100% Irish?

He really is demented.
