We keep marrying other species + other ethnics. Finns marry other Finns so they have a pure society

These people need to be fired and retired without benefits, if not prosecuted and jailed.

1. Other species?

Like your daddy married a dodo bird and had you?

[TheBlackAdder]

16. It was the last dodo bird. It died when it tried to pass that egg.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. "We keep marrying other species"??

[Jonny Appleseed]

6. Don't you read the bible? :sarcasm:

[Bob Loblaw]

8. That cat is kinda hot

Just sayin'.

[Idoru]

12. I'm partial to the fox

Or is it a dog?

I have loved my pets more than most people, although I viewed them more as furry children than marriage material.

[jmowreader]

27. I think it's supposed to be one of those German Shepherd-shaped breeds

14. I just laughed my ass off! Thanks!

41. McConnell and Putin are smart enough to do it with doors closed.

3. Kilmeade must be reading Mein Kampf. The only 'pure (North)Americans" are Native Americans.

Kilmeade has got to be the dumbest person on TV.

[Frogg]

4. Complete moron

I was married to a Finn for 20 yrs. The Finns are a beautiful mix of Scandinavian, Eastern European and Sami heritage. The Finnish language is over 4000 yrs old and is most closely related to Hungarian. These Fox morons boil my blood. What are they talking about? This bullshit narrative of homogenous societies is demonstrably false and dangerous. I am sure most of the Finns I know would not be happy to be used as drumpf reich propaganda.

[heaven05]

9. this white is the only pure race

bullshit makes my blood boil. That mentality is just the reason why we now have all this racial strife.

[NastyRiffraff]

35. I grew up bilingual: English and Hungarian

I was startled when I heard Finnish spoken; although I couldn't understand it, there were some words that were similar and it SOUNDED like Hungarian.

The truth is, Europe is a mix of various peoples; there's some Middle Eastern in that mix also. The Celts are thought to be originally from approximately what is now the Czech Republic and Slovania. I could go on and on, but BTW, the mix didn't included different species!

[democratisphere]

5. Must be talking about Neanderthals.

Somebody needs to tell Brian "the dunce" Kilmeade they went extinct 40,000 years ago.

[Maru Kitteh]

7. This explains so much

about Fox News employees.

[L. Coyote]

17. It explains a lot about Rupert Murdoch too.

Where is the public outrage? Why isn't the douche fired already?

Maybe we need a special hashtag #Fire#KKKilmeade

10. Brian Kilmeade's dad clearly married his sister, or his own mother.

He either has an auntie-mom or a grand-ma-mama. It's the only thing that could explain that much unadulterated stupid.

[L. Coyote]

11. "RT to get him fired." Love it. And, it has to happen, intolerable racism.

22. Ah, Yes.

On a very few occasions I do miss the simpleton.

[hatrack]

18. Stupid FUCKING PEOPLE, watched by millions of STUPID FUCKING PEOPLE

Words fail me in expressing how freaking sick I am of all this BULLSHIT.

[AgadorSparticus]

39. Preach it!!! +1,000!!!

[former9thward]

19. "if not prosecuted and jailed."

Prosecuted and jailed for what exactly?

[Kingofalldems]

21. It's called hyperbole.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. If you read the post below yours

it appears the OP was serious with that comment.

[L. Coyote]

24. Incitement. And sued too. Words have consequences.

Under the imminent lawless action test, speech is not protected by the First Amendment if the speaker intends to incite a violation of the law that is both imminent and likely. While the precise meaning of "imminent" may be ambiguous, cases have be brought. If a network has this kind of speech and repeats it often enough, they should be held to account for incitement of racial violence.

[tritsofme]

30. Speech restrictionists and their authoritarian tendencies scare me more than some idiot on Fox News

This incident clearly does not meet the very high standard for incitement.

Speech like this should be combatted and shamed by society, not prosecuted by government censors.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. 1st Amendment threads on DU are depressing as fuck.

It's amazing to me, that even with an authoritarian blowhard in the WH disrespecting both the constitution and the press, some people here still cling to the fantasy that "good" censorship will get rid of the things they don't like, whether that is sex scenes on HBO or the inane gruntings of bigots.

What they don't understand is, if the 1A goes, it's going to be the speech of dissidents that gets quashed first.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Thats not how the 1st Amendment works.

Every time we have one of these threads, someone shows up with a variation on "saying something horribly racist/bigoted/hateful" or "saying something that might make someone else mad" is either "incitement", "fighting words", or "shouting fire in a crowded theater"

There are people here who think the government should censor everything from the sports illustrated swimsuit issue, to "blasphemy", on the grounds that the speech might upset someone.

Again, that's not how the 1st Amendment works.

You seem to feel differently, though.. so let me ask you- when is the last time someone was succesfully prosecuted in the US for making a statement - stupid and hateful, to be sure - under "incitement"?

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Hugely Fucked up thing to say. but i'm a little confused about the "prosecuted and jailed" bit, too.

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding of how the 1st Amendment works.

25. Species? We?

I'm curious now. Does anyone know which species he chose?


I would like to see the path this fool stumbled across that lead to him having face time on national TV.

[WheelWalker]

26. Dumb as a hemlock stump

[Mendocino]

28. All modern humans are the same,

actually a subspecies: Homo sapiens sapiens. Did these trumpkins ever take a science class?

[3catwoman3]

38. I am sure the...

..."homo" in Homo sapiens sapiens would totally freak out the average ignorant Fox viewer. They don't need no stinkin' science.

[58Sunliner]

29. That explains everything! The republicans keep breeding with other species.

The stuuupid species.

[Mendocino]

40. dt has the body of a hog,

the head of an orangutan, the mind of Dr Evil.

[58Sunliner]

42. Yes, but they are all smarter than him.

36. Kilmeade said it in 2009

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Kilmeade

"We keep marrying other species and other ethnics"

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. . . ." Ignoring attempts by co-host Gretchen Carlson (who is of Swedish descent) to interrupt him, 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 marry Italians and Irish."[13]

On July 20, 2009, Kilmeade apologized for his remarks, saying, "I made comments that were offensive to many people. That was not my intention, and looking back at those comments I realize they were inappropriate. For that I sincerely apologize. America [is a] huge melting pot, and that is what makes us such a great country. . . ."[14]

37. Having never viewed Fox & Friends ,

I always assumed the skits on SNL were exaggerated. My apologies to their writers.
