So messed up that I’m speechless

July 12, 2009 @ 2:16 pm

This guy is the co-host of FOX’s morning show, FOX & Friends. According to Brian Kilmeade’s website, “FOX & Friends,” “has been the No. 1 morning program on all of cable news for more than seven years.”

WTF? Who watches this garbage? Hitler Youth Recruiters? Anti-miscegenation Hobbyists? Stormfront Forum Posters? Racial Eugenics Supporters? This guy makes overtly racist and derogatory statements on a popular news program and he gets to keep his job!?? Race is a sociological construct…we are all the same species you moron!

Dear Fox News, Fire Brian Kilmeade immediately.

On July 8, 2009, Kilmeade and two co-hosts were discussing a study that, based on research done in Finland and Sweden, showed people who stay married are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Kilmeade commented, “[In the United States] we keep marrying other species and other ethnics…”. Over the objections of his co-host Gretchen Carlson, he added, “See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes…. Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish.”

    Fire Brian Kilmeade? FOX? For saying that?

    You…. you don’t watch much FOX, do you? I think this puts him on the fast track to having his own show, practically.

    Unfortunately, my father-in-law watches this crap — and Glenn Beck, and Hannity, and most of the other garbage on Faux News. And my father-in-law is of Swedish ancestry, to boot.

    […] If a certain family member wonders why I stopped reading their blog, it is due to their defense of (and site link to) Glenn Beck. Rather than engage in a fruitless back-and-forth (like last time when my life experience was called into question), I will simply post these recent videos. Glenn Beck’s rhetoric is blatantly racist and disingenuous. The first clip is of Glenn Beck appearing on the pro-eugenics FOX & Friends. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart once again provide commentary on the idiocy that is Glenn Beck. […]
