Discussion: Fox Host: How Do We Spot 'Bad Guys' If We Don't Know 'Tone Of Their Skin'

Ski masks and AK-47s are a pretty good first indication.

I can guarantee that she would argue she “doesn’t have a racist bone in her body”.

Shannon Bream is a tonist!

The shooting innocent people might have been a tip off.

Because, of course, mass shootings are unheard of here in US what with our militarized police forces.

This has been another edition of snappy comebacks to stupid commentators.

Fucking Fox.

He’s also right about Russell Brand.

I would say the use of SKI MASKS might be a hint they are bad guys?

Yeah, gotta give Ahiza Garcia props for that one.

Except, of course, for the solid one between her ears.

Oh My Fucking Gawd!

Now I admit I had originally read the article on Don Lemon incorrectly, and soon after admitted as such, taking offense essentially at my own original comment, but this fucking tops the cake. I read this one clearly. Why do we give these nimrods any attention? If we want to shine a spotlight on how ignorant they are, can’t this be done in the opinion section too.

Wouldn’t it be more click-worthy and relevant today to write a piece on the fucking freezing weather outside? I know its not political, but just about most of the country is fucking cold and grumpy today. In a couple of hours I can look forward to white-outs, 50+ mph winds, and up to 12 inches of that white stuff by tomorrow, and that’s not including the drifts. I think an article on the shitty weather would get more people focused on what going on in this country than these dimwits.

Fucking Faux Nooz…Fuck. Them. And no, they don’t have “in-depth conversation” on that channel. They promote incitement, xenophobia, and hate. Its probably in their mission statement.

Oh, and its minus 20 degrees right now. Imagine the folks and animals without shelter tonight.

Indeed. And how do we know if Fox hosts have brains unless we open them up and take a look?

Indeed, Brand will make them all homeless.

I never thought I’d get that kind of insight out of Lydon, but I admit I haven’t followed him over the years. That hit me right between the eyes like a plank of wood.

The scary thing is, I could easily see someone like Henry Rollins making that same commentary on this side of the water and it would be just as completely true.

You just have to tap their heads and listen for the echo.

Uhm…this is a political blog. The whole place is the opinion section. And look, it’d be one thing if TPM were highlighting nobodies that could use this platform to reach people with a real message. But Fox News is bigger and more influential than TPM. We’re not making them famous by reading about their idiocy.

Moreover, Republican pundits would like nothing better than to be able to speak directly to their base without us listening in. That’s why Limbaugh was more offensive before the internet came along to record everything he said. Shining a light on what they’re saying only helps us.

" I mean what if they didn’t look like typical bad guys?’"

Don’t forget…you can always find out by picking them up and looking under their tail.

Well, sometimes they are dressed in faux-military garb, wearing ski masks, and carrying assault weapons in a residential/commecial neighborhood. In this case, they were pretty easy to spot.

No, those are just Fox News viewers on a cold day.

Fox News anchor Shannon Bream on Wednesday pondered how observers would’ve known that the gunmen who perpetuated the terrorist attack…

Perpetuated??/ Is that the lovely Ms. Bream’s actual word, or is that TPM’s word? The gunmen made the terrorist attack go on for a very long time? Or is the correct word ‘perpetrated’, meaning carried out or committed a harmful or immoral action?

Gee, my first thought when I saw their images is that they looked like the Chechen terrorists who murdered over a hundred school children–and they were very white.

The host’s assumption that ‘dark skinned’ means criminal/bad guy is really, really disgusting.

Good catch.

I was so appalled at her blatant racism that I missed that one completely.
Either the author failed to supply the (sic) next to that word if it came out of her whining piehole, or the writer needs to sit down and read the dictionary from first page to last.

FOX News needs to drop all the pretense and put on the Swastika armbands already (and the White Hoods, at least so I don’t have to look at O’Reilly and Hannity anymore.).
