FOX News posted a video of an African-American mother sharing news that her son has a new sibling on the way, and he had the most adorable reaction ever! Shanee Gibson Hart of Fort Lewis, Washington, a military mom, posted her sons reaction to the news on Facebook. The video quickly went viral, garnering over 300,000 shares.
Given that his parents are both military and Tre threw out an adult word like exasperating, most would view him as a well-educated and well-cared-for child. However, thats not how the fine folks at FOX News saw it:
Lets take a look at these welfare queens.

(81,220 posts)Head cheerleader! Dressed for Success - to beguile the old white farts who fantasize about trading their wives or alimony payments for that nice little blonde piece of arm candy! YAY!!!!!!
The only thing I notice about her (beyond her on-camera cocktail-party wardrobe and accessories) is the shadowing of her face under those lights. You can't see it as well in the photo above, but I frankly enjoy the shots I see of her in which her high cheekbones cast shadow on her hollow cheeks. Makes it look almost like a five-o'clock shadow. So in some photographs, Pox Noise's Alpha Goldilocks looks like the bearded lady!
Now mind you, it doesn't show so much in this photo. But what I DO see - is the increasing invasion of laugh lines on little miss megyn's face. She's on borrowed time. I hope all those blonde cutie-pies on Pox who got into these glitzy on-camera jobs keep something in mind: they won't have those jobs forever. Because they won't have those looks forever. They'll eventually be "Norvilled" too. That was a term that developed in various newsrooms when Jane Pauley was kicked out as cohost of the "Today" show by male program executives who were hot for the younger blonder Deborah Norville. Norville rather quickly tanked the ratings. She went out on maternity leave within a year or two, and didn't return. I remember my supervisor at the AP predicting that. "She's not coming back. Wait and see," he said. And that's what happened. The viewers revolted. The majority female "Today" audience never saw any reason why Pauley had to be moved out, and DID NOT accept Deborah Norville. Enter the more-of-a-commoner Katie Couric. Surprise. They turned to a brunette to rescue the show. How 'bout that. That gave me a large measure of satisfaction, watching how that one played out.

(50,555 posts)That's what's so irritating about this...every one of them, without exception, is all "support the troops...the troops defend our freedoms...if you don't love the troops you're un-American." And then they find out the troops are paid with tax dollars, and they instantly become welfare bums.
War story follows: in 2011 I had a real mild abdominal ache. I took it to the VA because it wouldn't go away and it turned out to be an encapsulated burst appendix. Four days and two gallons of antibiotics later I went home...where I got ordered to the managing editor's office and directed to write 300 "get your ass to the doctor if you feel abdominal pain 'cause it isn't always sharp like they claim" words for publication in all our papers. You shoulda seen the nasty letters about how I was stealing from people by going to the VA.

it's NOT. Fox or no Fox.
BTW, I wonder what their comments might be about Goldman Sach's and the other banks we bailed out giving themselves bonuses, or the fact GE, Boeing, among others paid NO Federal Income Tax
thus, corporate welfare.
Any of these idiots understand that? No
. Too busy thinking they're the "job creators"!

(9,761 posts)Healthcare and reduce salaries of soldiers and so what they are doing is talking about how screwed up and worthless today's soldiers are. I get it from my father who sends me right wing emails. Even though I always ask him not to.
This is just conjecture on my part, but I think the whole "military equals welfare" and "today's soldiers are worthless" being pushed by right wing media is an attempt to lower taxes by ending current payments and benefits for all current retirees plus soldiers serving now.
Anything that helps lower taxes, the Kochs want. Plus if you get rid of military, who will resist the Koch dictators?
P.S. I notice I almost never see support the troops stickers anymore....right wing is turning against military now.

(9,350 posts)It is my opinion that neither Fox News, nor the Koch Bbrothers have anything to do with the anger in the comments section. That military service is the same as welfare comment is about race. That comment is an example of the phrase, do not let facts get in the way of a good story. People like the person who wrote the comment like to portray black people as lazy and unemployed people looking for a government handout at the expense of hard working white people. For most people being in the military is just the opposite of being lazy and looking for a handout. So, how do you turn a black woman into a welfare queen when she is in the military? Just say military service and welfare are the same thing. I may be wrong, but it is my opinion that if the children in that video had been white the comment that military service is the same as welfare would not have been made.
Also, I do not think the right is turning against the military. They may have just moved on to other things. I remember a post here were someone wrote that people did not realize there were still American troop in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another reason for the lack of support the troops decals on vehicles may be the reason some people were putting them on their vehicles in the first place. It is very possible that for some on the right those decals were more about supporting President Bush than supporting the troops.

We were just impressed with the boy's vocabulary and how well his mother was discussing it all with him.
If you scroll through our TV remote, you would not know Fox "news" exists, it is blocked, deleted or ignored as an option.

(492 posts)There is an ugliness in all of the FOX commenters to this video that defies description. I read the comments and was both surprised (at the ease with which these dumb f--ks ooze out sickening racist barbs) and angered.
Fact is, I hate, viscerally hate, heartless, brainless, hurtful morons. And it's becoming increasingly more difficult to love an America that is, sadly, teeming with them.
Justice Roberts tells the world -- and history -- that it is clear to him that America has moved beyond racism, that racism is no longer a problem in America, that all that bad stuff is behind us as we move forward as a nation. I think the world -- and history -- will have a few harsh and mocking words for his ignorance, and what that ignorance means for the country of which he is the Chief Justice.

(9,933 posts)commenters on FOX and yahoo and really every online publication and blog despite proclamations of monitored comments discouraging bullying, racism and bigotry are pretty much all full on racist. I've seen cooking articles, advice columns, celebrity gossip, movie reviews and boring financial articles with racist nonsense blaming immigrants, minorities and Obama for problems completely unassociated with the said article. Clearly comments are not as advertised monitored. And there is a massive amount of ugly unemployed racist trolling miserable a-holes out there who gleefully post nasty crap wherever they can. Even DU has jerks who have to crap on anyone they perceive to not agree with them. If what you are about to post mocks or belittles someone don't post. How difficult is that? The Internet is cesspool. FOX especially. I feel bad for this family.
