No-talent, failed actress Stacey Dash says Dems have plantation mentality, wants quarrantine centers

for those "at risk" for ebola.

With the 2014 midterm elections less than two weeks away, the news media is pushing hard to appeal to their viewing base in an attempt to get out the vote. On Fox News Tuesday night, one comment might have gone too far.

On the October 14 edition of "Hannity" on Fox News, the discussion of Democrats and social welfare programs dominated the conversation. Host Sean Hannity spoke with Fox News contributor and often fill in host, Stacey Dash. Asked if voting for Barack Obama and the Democrats have helped the minority community, Dash answered with a quick "no, not at all." "It still keeps them stuck. They are getting money for free. They feel worthless. They are uneducated," Dash said of minority neighborhoods. "I mean, as long as you are that way, they (Democrats) can keep you under their control," Dash noted.

Hannity attempted to clarify Dash's remarks and asked her if she felt like the Democratic party created a sense of dependency. Dash responded that Democrats have a "plantation mentality" and think that if they keep giving services and money to low income voters, they won't want to think for themselves.

Stacey Dash, the actress and star of the hit film "Clueless," has been employed by Fox News for less than six months, but this isn't the first time that she has made controversial remarks. Earlier this week, Dash suggested that each city in America set up Ebola "quarantine" centers to hold patients who could be at risk for virus.

seems to be a common thing among some who join the republican party. people who fail in the entertainment industry often join the republicans where they can be and feel like the star they are not able to among others who are more successful.

in her case she is black so she can fill the token minority position among them also.

if she was a democrat she would not stand out at all because there would be many bigger stars that support the party.

16. What money for free?

Where I come from "General Assistance" welfare is a loan. If you aren't disabled you can only get it for 3 months out of the year, and I believe you can only get that for 3 years? It's $336/month that goes directly to your landlord, not into your pockets. No money for bills, transportation, hygiene products, cleaning stuff, medications, any basic necessities. And this is only when "the system" is working properly. Half the time your social worker is making mistakes or something was adjusted because your situation changed, cutting off your "assistance", so you are forever caught in onerous and intimidating Appeals red tape. Far from rolling in free money, your life is always unstable, stressful, and filled with bureaucratic hassle.

If you qualify for "General Assistance", you probably also qualify for "Food Stamps". I guess that's food for free. That enables the poor to go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of tomatoes to throw at Stacey Dash until she gets her spangled patootie down to the Social Services office and actually takes the trouble of learning about the demeaning, dehumanizing, rube goldberg torture machine that is our welfare system today.

And what was she saying about people being uneducated? I have a masters degree from a world class university. And she's just established herself as a complete idiot. I would say she's the one who needs to go back to school.

Why is this high school educated nobody on a "news" program? She clearly doesn't know anything informative and seems only able to spout insults, generalizations, and factoids from RW websites. If I watched FOX I'd be offended they thought so little of me to have someone with so little information value on, but I guess that is FOX news.
