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"

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.

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.

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.

yikes

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

One reason to know evolution.

At least someone with a passing knowledge of evolution wouldn't make moronic statements like this. Sheesh...I thought to be a host one would need some semblance of intelligence. Fox News keeps proving itself to be the exception to the rule.

Fair and Balanced means being the idiotic counterweight to those darn east-coast elitist news media.

My Grandmas have been dead for decades,

So if Obama wants to kill them he'll have to dump them in the Pet Cemetery first.

It's pretty gorgeous.

I get bored when others satirize Fox News, because it seems too easy and knee-jerk. But it's sweet when they makes fools of themselves just by talking.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 01:34 PM

Goddamn

You know, I haven't read the comments of others yet but, Christ, that this guy Kilmeade retains his job is stupefying (even if it is Fox).

It is astonishing--even by today's tea-baggin' standards--that such neanderthals (sorry, neanderthals) are engaged in public employment.

Maybe I should take a vacation to that "amusement" park in, I think, Tennessee, where dinosaurs are shown to co-exist with humans.

I need something to get my mind straight. Either that or just read Atlas Shrugged.

they should stay "pure"

I wish all these people who think races should be kept "pure" would all go live on island together and keep themselves "pure" so that future generations can take a lesson from their inbred, idiot, insane descendants.

Re: paulpsd7

Ah, true, true.

Also, so depressing that Jerry Springer as News is the only news show that seems to be available in the UK. No wonder everyone hates us.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 01:26 PM

Oh well...

I can only assume Kilmeade hasn't been to Scandinavia lately. Last time I was in Oslo, there were more than a couple of "other species" types dating many of those "pure-blooded" Nordics. A few more years of that and Kilmeade won't have much of an argument anyway.

As for whether mutts are genuinely healthier than pure-bloods, how can we make the comparison? Most Americans aren't pure-blooded. (All of those black individuals who could pass for "white" back in the bad ol days and who actually succeeded in entering white society probably ended up in quite a few American family trees which is why race is a social construct. Someone inform Kilmeade please.) My paternal grandfather, descended from generations of mixed race, Creole individuals was recently diagnosed with Dupuytren's disease courtesy of some forgotten Norman ancestor(s). A puzzling state of affairs similar to a Caucasian friend of mine who was diagnosed with Sickle Cell anemia a decade ago without having any known black ancestry. We're all "mutts" in this country to some degree. The horse has run out of the stable on that particular argument. Closing the stable doors now would be an exercise in futility.
