Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade: Dementia comes from us "marrying other ethnics" unlike "pure" Swedes

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Via Salon:

Kilmeade and two colleagues 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. Kilmeade questioned the results, though, saying, "We are -- we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other ..."

At this point, his co-host tried to -- in that jokey morning show way -- tell Kilmeade he needed to shut up, and quick, for his own sake. But he didn't get the message, adding, "See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes .... Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society."

[alcibiades_mystery]

1. Kilmeade: The first modern US diatribe against Rassenschande

:wow:

[babylonsister]

2. Wow. He sees, and wants! pure people. What an ignorant person. nt

[Jennicut]

3. Not many in the US are "pure" anymore.

I have native American blood in me on top of being German, Italian, French, Irish, Dutch, and English. I guess I am all messed up.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Nobody ever was

So-called racial purity is a scientific myth. It doesn't and never existed.

[Jennicut]

7. I believe it. Everyone is mixed.

[lapfog_1]

4. I wonder what species he married? - n/t

[alsame]

10. What's really disgusting is the implication that

different races are different species. I have heard this kind of comment from rabid racists, he's really sending out a not so subtle dog whistle.

[Flying Dream Blues]

42. Subtle? Shirley (sp) you jest. nt

[Jennicut]

14. Maybe he forgot that Neanderthal man went extinct?

Perhaps he needs to watch the History Channel.

[lapfog_1]

17. I was thinking that he doesn't know what the term means. - n/t

[rasputin1952]

31. Need I say more:

[PretzelWarrior]

6. WHENNNN!!! is a FoxNews host going to pay the price for their hate?

Their bigotry and insensitivity? I mean other than Tony Snow paying the ultimate price because his vengeful God got tired of his shit?

[mwb970]

58. Tony Snow would *never* have made a comment like this. /nt

[invictus]

8. Unbelievable! n/t

[Kber]

9. True irony is that he's dead wrong, of course

Wrong in so many ways, but the instance I'm thinking of is that the more genetic "mixing" we do, the less likely our kids are to suffer from certain recessive genetic conditions.

[panader0]

11. "Other species"?

WTF? That's bestiality no?

[POAS]

37. Alien abduction?

[orwell]

12. But...but...

...Obama is Hitler...or so we've been told by the teabagging loons like Brian Kilmeade...

[Undercurrent]

Brian Kilmeade, being a racial purest,

is nothing more than a well paid skin head.

Who knew he was that off the rails?

[treestar]

13. The world is shrinking

People from different countries meet each other on the internet. This is going to lead to even more "mixing."

These sorts of assholes are so hateful. And their recessive genes are going to disappear in future centuries.

[MarjorieG]

15. Sorry, mutts were smarter.

[sarah553807]

16. isn't that what hitler wanted too

[PopSixSquish]

18. Let Brian's Parents be a Lesson to All Who Want to Procreate

Do not dive into the gene pool while wearing "Swimmies"...

[classysassy]

19. Just

when you think fox had sunk to the bottom of the cesspool,along came another slimeball.

[CJCRANE]

20. Um...the research had nothing to do with what Kilmeade was talking about.

Kilmeade doesn't seem too bright, maybe he's from one of those "other species" he mentioned.

[rasputin1952]

32. Neither of those two clowns are bright...

they consistently mess up virtually everything they try to "discuss.

Combined, you're looking at an IQ about of 35...:D

[Paladin]

21. Jeez, I Hope Olbermann Screams About This For The Next Year Or So. (n/t)

[Berry Cool]

39. He won't need to.

A mere WPITW award will do. For him, and for that pool that wants to keep the black kids out.

[Dr Fate]

22. LOL! He may as well throw in something about "Aryans" and "Blood & Soil."

What a freaking bimbo.

[Submariner]

23. Before the Mt Toba super volcano 75,000 years ago the pure aspect

might have more validity, but since then we are a very small gene pool in comparison. But why spoil Brian's dumb fantasy? :eyes: Stupid SOB.

[mecherosegarden]

24. Oh that is funny!

I knew my husband was from " another specie." :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: His ancestors were from Portugal, mine from Spain... both of us Venezuelans by birth, American by choice.

I wonder were FOX get these people? Maybe they are part of a different specie: The brainless one!

[vaberella]

25. People marry other "species"? Is this the animal husbandry thing again? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

26. Good thing it's not race, it's class. Otherwise this would be upsetting.

[PretzelWarrior]

28. why do you keep saying this in threads?

is this an inside joke?

[vaberella]

29. I thought it was sarcasm. n/t

[BlooInBloo]

33. Just poking racism-deniers, who commonly say things like "it's not race, it's class".

[boppers]

47. SES. Which happens to coincide with race in certain environments.

It is class, but the thing is, racism *creates* classes.

Morans convince themselves that if they hate a purple person for their class, then they aren't being racists, without realizing that the reason purple people are suffering economically is because of racism.

[JI7]

49. but a lot of times it's people in the "lower classes" who are racist

take Joe the Plumber for example, he represents the typical lower income white male who view their position in society as a result of special preferences for minorities and women.

but listening to him you can easily tell the guy is an idiot and not qualified to do what he thinks he would be doing if not for the minorities.

[boppers]

50. Lower SES = Lower education

Lower education: More likely to blame others.

Those others can be "oligarchs", or "patriarchs", or "racists", or "the military industrial establishment", or "liberals", or whatever.

It's a nasty, self-perpetuating, spiral, where those "without" then blame those "with", and seek to rectify it in many ways.

I think the best way is to provide a maximum of education. Of course, this also creates problems, where those folks who cast blame decide the problem is "the intelligentsia".

[spoony]

48. Because it's summer and he's in reruns. nt

[butterfly77]

27. So I guess he is already fucked up...

with his stupid ass..

[Raine]

30. Well my father was pure blood Norwegian

and he had dementia, his sister and brother also had it ... explain that one Brian/aka Shit for Brains. :silly:

[freeplessinseattle]

34. so single Swedes tend to have parents in a "mixed" marriage?

who you marry does nothing to affect your own genetic make-up, only your offspring. besides his appalling racism, dude is dumb as a box of Wasilla rocks.

[freeplessinseattle]

35. Dupe, oops. error message was wrong, I guess eom

[BreweryYardRat]

36. Good GOD!!!

After a remark like that, he might as well just wear his white hood and brown shirt on the air.

:puke:

[grillo7]

38. Well, the Republican party is the party of tradition, after all... n/t

[Canuckistanian]

40. How do you say "Sieg Heil" in Swedish?

Brian Kilmeade needs to know.

[Colobo]

41. What a complete moron.

[pipi_k]

43. I'm not a Sociologist or anything, but it seems to me that

if a certain (limited) ethnic group keeps marrying only within itself, at some point doesn't the whole group sort of become interrelated?

What's so friggen great about that?



the guy is nuts

[Political Tiger]

44. Hitler would be proud of him! n/t

[burning rain]

45. Even Gretchen Carlson was left staring forward, struck by his madness.

That's saying something. Carlson brings the nutty every day but it's more readily noticeable with her as she's more voluble and outgoing.

[rationalcalgarian]

46. If Kilmeade could read

he might want to check out a history book. Finland was the eastern past of Sweden from the 1200's to about 1810. Then it became part of Russia. I'd like to hear his explanation for how the Swedefinns or Finnswedes or whatever managed to keep their "purity" for nearly six centuries. Quite a feat!

But, perhaps in Kilmeade's bizarro world, the gene pools of the world somehow recognize and respect the arbitrary drawing of political borders for the geographic definition of nations and align themselves accordingly. Smart things, those genes.

[BlooInBloo]

51. Guess we know where he stands on Obama, eh?

:rofl:

[phoenixriz]

52. Ever hear of Hybrid Vigor

My grandchildren are biracial and my physician congratulates me every time I see him for improving the Human Race. He keeps reminding me of "Hybrid Vigor"

All one needs to do is look at the monarchy's of the past in Europe and Russia to see what happens. Hemophilia, retardation among other things.

The more you mix the better off the Human Race is as mention earlier in this topic. It kills off those bad recessive genes.

[BlooInBloo]

53. "It kills off those bad recessive genes." - Not quite; it's still a crapshoot...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis

"Heterosis is a term used in genetics and selective breeding. The term heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor or outbreeding enhancement, describes the increased strength of different characteristics in hybrids; the possibility to obtain a genetically superior individual by combining the virtues of its parents.
A mixed-breed dog

Heterosis is the opposite of inbreeding depression, which occurs with increasing homozygosity. The term often causes controversy, particularly in terms of the selective breeding of domestic animals, because it is sometimes believed that all crossbred plants or animals are genetically superior to their parents; this is true only in certain circumstances: when a hybrid is seen to be superior to its parents, this is known as hybrid vigor. When the opposite happens, and a hybrid inherits traits from their parents that makes them unfit for survival, the result is referred to as outbreeding depression. Typical examples of this are crosses between wild and hatchery fish that have incompatible adaptations."

[quaker bill]

57. Having studied

natural hybrid swarms (yes, nature makes hybrids) your statement is correct. Some of these randomly assorted hybrids exhibit great vigor, some do not survive to reproductive competence, and many fall somewhere in the middle and are only distinguishable from the parental strains by close study of morphology and biochemistry.

[LittleBlue]

54. LOL WTF?

Does this guy want to lose his job?

[davidpdx]

55. Brian KKK Kilmeade?

Maybe the nickname fits him. We need to start emailing Olbermann to get him on the Worst Person list.

[Ganja Ninja]

56. That's right people.

Lets stick to marrying only sisters and cousins like loyal FOX watchers.:silly:

[Bobbie Jo]

59. Somehow, DUMBASS just doesn't quite express the idiocy.

What's the word I'm looking for here? :shrug:

[tledford]

60. "...marrying other species..." WTF? eom
