[H/t Media Matters]

Brian Kilmeade put on a classic display of the way today's right-wingers cling to old half-baked notions of race and eugenics yesterday morning on Fox and Friends, discussing a Scandinavian study of the benefits of marriage:

Kilmeade: Leave it to the Finns and Swedes to come up with something. Because that's a -- we are, we're a, we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other --

[Crosstalk]

Kilmeade: I mean the Swedes -- the Swedes have, uh, pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes. Because that's the rule. Finland -- Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society. In America, we marry everybody. So we marry Italians and Irish and --

Dave Briggs: OK, so this study does not apply.

Kilmeade: It does not apply to us.

Other species? We marry other species? Since when? What, is this the man-on-dog sex that Rick Santorum was on about?

And what the hell do "pure genes" -- whatever those are -- have to do with marriage behavior?

It's astonishing, really, the level of complete and utter idiocy that passes for professional news talk on our cable TV these days. Charles Pierce is right.

I don't know about his parents, but humans are of one species.

..I know there's already a lot of comments posted but I want anyone who will POST to be kind because clearly, this is a mentally challenged individual who doesn't have a clue.

Kilmeade at the same time. We are once species, but to white people it sometimes doesn't seem like we have married one.

I am afraid we are only at the beginning of this kind of racism in America. As the country get browner and white guys (some white guys) feel more threatened that they are losing control and political or economic power it will get nastier.

Obama's election has just accelerated this trend.

girlfriends any longer.

IS HIS UNABASHED RACIAL FACSISM!

ON HIS IGNORANCE.

1. Modern Humans, no matter their geographic or "national" origin, are ALL defined as

Homo s. sapiens

Domain: Eukarya
Kingdom: Animalia
Subkingdom: Eumetazoa
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Infraphylum: Gnathostomata
Superclass: Tetrapoda
Class: Mammalia
Subclass: Theria
Infraclass: Eutheria
Order: Primates
Suborder: Haplorrhini
Infraorder: Simiiformes
Parvorder: Catarrhini
Superfamily: Hominoidea
Family: Hominidae
Subfamily: Homininae
Tribe: Hominini
Subtribe: Hominina
Genus: Homo
Species: H. sapiens
Subspecies: H. s. sapiens

Although after this perhaps anthropologists should add a new sub species called:

Homo sapiens ignoramus kilmeadium

2. "Sweds" are a national category not a genetic category. Therefore, "Americans" (as a national category) marry each other in the same way that "Sweds" marry eachother

ON HIS FACSISM

1. To advocate that we should attempt to maintain a "pure" gene pool is not only evolutionarily foolish (we need diversity in our gene pool so that we can continue to adapt as a species to changes in our environment) but politically dangerous. This is EXACTLY the kind of bullshit the Nazis advocated.

2. I am 100% sure that if we were to subject this moron to a genetic test we would find (like most modern humans) that he has gene frequencies from multiple gene pools. He is therefore "impure" (according to his pathetic logic).

what twit

..taxonomy and systematics!

..taxonomy and systematics!

HA!

I suspect that he, and those of his ilk, aren't the same species as the rest of us.

For years I've joked about "dating outside my species" when I've found myself in the company of someone with whom I have nothing in common. People like him take the fun out of the joke.

... have still not been totally convinced that men and women aren't completely different 'species'; y'know, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, and all that?

So, it's conceivable (pun intended) that we are ALL interspecial mongrels!

"I don't know about his parents, but humans are of one species."

Brian Kilmeade looks and acts a lot like
a donkey/jackass....any possibility of
cross-breeding in his family?

Americans can marry other SPECIES, but not a human of the same gender?!
Wow.

Kilmeade...did your parents have ANY kids that lived?
Dumbass racist homophobic MORAN!

Has there been a Neanderthal sighting?

Wilma

and I so wanted to join the SS, but I guess I'm an American so I'm just not racially pure enough, shucks.

against American whites: they were not "genetically pure" and thus inferior. Which made the ass kicking they got from our GIs even the more enjoyable... and also makes American nazi sympathisers even *that* more pathetic.

That is what Bill O'Reilly told us last week, and the week before that, and... so what is it FOX? They are "evil" because they provide for their own citizens, but they are "good" because they are genetically less diverse?

And why is it always the ones talking about "racial purity" the ones who would completely flunk the standard they are trying to impose on other people? Kilmeade sure looks like the by-product of some cross breeding experiment gone awfully wrong.

Cable news=Reality TV.

... he would probably get quite a surprise.

...is his ass kicked, hard.

I'm sure this oaf would be surprised that as far back as '91, I saw a mixed race couple -- with kids! -- in a park. Now, if those kids grew up to be straight, they're spreading the 'mixed race' DNA around his pure white dream.

hell.

left out the part about the Morans invading County Waterford
and violating the ladies of Kilmeadean.

And after all Bush did for us to get people and fish to coexist peacefully.

Hey, whatever happed to the human/animal hybrids Bush promised us, huh?

I hope Kilmeade gets on top of this!

Will they get government subsidies for their kids?
C'mon Fox News, save us.

Americans (apparently meaning white people only) marry "other species" (meaning non-whites).

Every once in a while these idiots say something that gives you a real peek into their mental processes.

Exactly. Another example is that the world is only 6000 years old.

cognitive operating system as we do. You know that "deep down, we're all alike" thing? Well, we're not, and thinking that people who don't look like you are another species is a perfect example of that.

I'll bet they're glad animals can't talk.

Other species?? He refers to other ethnic groups as "species"?? And all this talk about "pure genes" - goddamn! why doesn't he just go the whole hog and start singing the praises of "Aryan blood". Why is this idiotic, NAZI bullshit even allowed on tv?

Okay, who married the turtle?

He has got to be one of the most stupid people to ever grace the earth. I believe he was the one who let the cobra escape on the show one morning. They were telling him not to lift the hook with the snake all the way from its container, but as usual, like a small child he wanted to show off, and he lifted the snake too high allowing it to leave the container and scare the shit out of the rest of the crew.

I don't know, but it would have had to have been in Iowa, NH, Vt. or one of them states where they started dwon the slippery slope with letting gays get married first.

Yes,the problem with stupid people is that they are firmly convinced that they are FAR from being morons and will supply their insipid opinions without the usual filters the rest of us (average intelligence and up) have. If there was a God, then stupidity would be excruciatingly painful.

.

Someone in Charles Krauthammer's family. Recently. Like one of his parents.

Charles is half weasel.

.

That actually would explain a lot about Krauthammer.

do not stay that way.

those "animal-human hybrids" Bush was talking about. Or maybe he is just a f-wad, undeducated, racist, idiot.

...to make him an *unemployed,* uneducated, racist, idiot.

)O(

I have defiled my beautiful Swedish wife of 27 years by forcing her to commit the racial and genetic perversion of marrying me and producing offspring.

What ever shall I do? Guess the only proper course is to turn myself into the FAUX Genetic Police and accept the punishment I so richly deserve. SNARK

Boy are those guys morons. I'm sending this jewel off to my in-laws, Sven Olaf and Britt-Mari. They'll get a morning chuckle out of this heaping, steaming pile of excrement.

the sky falls.

house, 'Other Species' was the norm.

I mean obviously, he's half human (if that) and half dumbass (if not, more).

rightwingers aree a differentt species. Ther frum a difrunt planit.

Would insult the intelligence of an inbred purebred dog.

And why oh why does he have to say these things when Stewart and Colbert are on vacation?

Stewart and Colbert get so many vacations?

)O(

At least there not clearing brush like boosh:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEt94QLo7MM&fe...

you speak of?

"jobs", and "money." I've seen pictures. Sometimes there were beaches.

jobs! moneys! All legends and myths told by the elders around the fire to scare little children!
And beaches?!? PAH!
Urban legends!

Send a note to Kilmeade at news@briankilmeade.com and tell him what you think of his racist Nazi attitude.

Hitler also hold up scandinavians as an example of a pure race? Hmmmmmmm...

As a matter of fact, yes.

"the concept of an "Aryan race", which by the early 20th century became closely linked to Nordicism, which posited Northern European racial superiority over all other peoples"

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

they were created in God's image. Satan put other species on the planet for temptation purposes and to destroy genetic purity which makes both God and Jesus cry. Thank God for Fox News, defender of the faith and fascism.

Now what?

... back in the 1960's, some young gentlemen at church were going on about Jesus being white.

My wife's friend, a young black woman, pointed at the stained glass window depicting Christ - because it was dark outside, so was Christ's skin.

"What color is he now?" she asked.

I almost got into a fight with a bartender in South Carolina when I dared to suggest that jebus was a Jewish man living in the ME and there weren't a lot of caucasoids in that area back then...and that this jebus feller, likely had dark hair, eyes and skin, not blond hair and blue eyes.
I just laughed at him. and he got more and more pissed...I did have to make a fairly quick exit later though.

Pure genes. Is it any wonder this came out of the mouth of a FOX News personality. Kilmeade should be careful, he's got black hair. The master race is blond hair blue eyes.

They're black, too, you know.

)O(

I prefer acid-washed.

..or just, ston...nevermind.

Somewhere in his family tree are a couple of weasels. I watched him continually interrupt Jesse Ventura recently and was hoping Ventura would pick him up and deposit him in the nearest trash can. By the way, little Brian, you mentioned Irish and Italians marrying. Some of the handsomest guys and most gorgeous women I've known come from that combination.

I just watched that clip again, and I'm not sure what's more appalling - the bullshit that Kilmeade (hmm, that's not an American sounding name - sounds like one of those other "species" - Irish for example) was spewing or the fact that the other two idiots just sit there thinking "yeah, he has a point". What was clear to me was that, the longer kilmeade babbled, the more obvious it became that even he didn't know what he was talking about

it really was like a Sarah Palinesque word salad.

The unnatural blonde was talking, and I suppose that noise was a signal for the fox bobble heads to think something, but I cannot imagine what it was.

... post-hypnotic trigger from the brainwashing sessions.

*ZING*

"It's now ten after the hour, time for the weather!"

If republicans would look in the mirror and do good on their own marriages they wouldn't have to butt into everybody else's.

... what's Doocymeade's take on Mark Sanford?

... how is it that pure white genes like Sarah and Todd Palin happened to produce a special needs child like Trig?

This is disgusting. There is no reason this kind of crap should be on the air.

and the swedes are the same bunch of democratic socialists these wingnuts love to pillory? WTF? Teh Stupid! It BURNS!!!!

This idiot has no business being on the air. Either he is the most hateful person I've ever heard or the most ignorant.

usually go hand in hand.

)O(

"Bark like a dog."

so it's okay to follow the swedes when it comes to marriage but it's not okay to follow them when it comes to economics, health care, attitude about gov't, etc. and on and on and on.

Isn't Tiger Woods married to a Swede?

Yes he is and his daughter is absolutely adorable. The baby is too young yet to tell but he is cute. I got to see Tiger and his wife a couple of years ago when a major tournment was at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois.

[Comment Deleted By Administration For Violation Of Terms Of Service]

... in that idiots like Kilmeade are allowed to spout their racist diatribes on nationally broadcast media, it is further spread via critical sites like C&L ...

... but when someone is rightly angry and offended (I've been putting up with this 'white' nonsense my entire life), my comment gets deleted.

That being said, I figured it would get deleted and even acknowledged that it was outside the bounds of propriety in the post. That the site monitor is right in enforcing the terms of use doesn't make me less angry at people like Kilmeade, or the fact that we enable them by not wishing to offend.

.

his mawma!

Kilmeade: Dad, why do you call mom "sis"?

Kilmeades Dad:
I dunno, now go n fetch cousin/brother down by the whuppin shed, and tell him ta git me some corn squeezins!

Eugenics is the heart of most of the evil going on today. The AngloAmerican establishment supported Hitler, and most of the dictators of the 20th century. The Vaccines, GMO foods, our youth being sent to endless illegal wars, and the huge rise of preventable diseases. It is promenant on both the left and the right.

JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.

Hitler thanked Margaret Sanger for the plan for sterilization and abortion.

It appears to me that the most unappealing white people are the biggest proponents against miscegenation.

He's got an equally doofy-looking kid.

Is it that pasty, doughy complexion of his?

I know, boil him for 8 minutes then throw him against the wall and see if he sticks.

He's done like dinner.

Or that she can drive worth a damn.

a thread in which there are no right-wing trolls! Come out, come out where ever you are...let's all see how you defend Kilmeade's comments.

Genetically pure Americans can even dance better than everyone else.

http://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclien...

Here's Keith's WTF moment...handed to you on a silver platter.

Kilmeade is the stupid jock you knew in high school that crushed beer cans against his head and stuffed people into lockers. He still has that mentality, he just added political opinions to it.

No...this guy was in the AV club totally.
that nancy-boy was never a jock.

Maybe a cheerleader if they didn't let him try the complicated stuff.

for the cheerleadin thingy...but he ran away screamin when he found out he'd have to be touching girls and that lookin up their skirts was part of the job.

...to get hired on at the propaganda network? We all know they are far from the brightest stars in the world...but holy shit, are they really this f*cking stupid in reality?...or are they all just trying to compete with beck?

SO has he got his walrus in the back room waiting for a ride home??

No wonder Murdoch and his gang of thieves have to wire tap, their own have ZERO brains.....

know that "marriage" was required to reproduce.

How facinating.

neither does most of middle America.

But, of course, by middle America, you mean the read states, right?

But

They can't and don't bother to read there.

but it's all your fault Liberalicious.
Your comment fits too well.

... Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston that they didn't really have a kid.

Snip - A while ago I remember attending a lecture by a knowledgeable geneticist who explained the biological and genetic basis for the fact that the mixture of races is beneficial from a genetic standpoint as it tends to favor offsprings increasing their chances of survival.

[ http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.anthr... ]

royal families of yore. The perennial inbreeding led them to produce retarded haemophiliac offspring.

The term "blue blood" was a non-endearing reference to hemophilia. Hopefully Kilmeade takes his own advice and produces his very own dead end offspring. We sure don't need his piss genes in our genetic pool.

That does help explain the Bush Family.

... there's some compelling evidence that the haemophilia in the royal blood lines was, in fact, introduced into the bloodlines by a non-relative (i.e., someone outside the royal gene pool). Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, was an elderly man in poor health by the time he married and produced the sole heir to the British throne. It was a race against time, as the royal line had all but died out (along the legitimate male lines, anyway). Victoria's grandfather, George III, famously suffered from porphyria, another heriditary disease... and yet none of Victoria's descendents ever suffered from it.

The hereditary disease Victoria DID however introduce into the royal line had never before been a problem in the royal bloodline, nor in anyone in Albert's. Seventeen generations on her mother's side have been examined, none of which have ever produced haemophila. The received theory is that Victoria must have 'spontaneously' had a genetic mutation. The other - and more controversial theory, because it would mean that Victoria was NOT the Duke of Kent's daughter, nor the granddaughter of George III and was therefore not a royal entitled to the crown - was that her mother, desperate to conceive before her ailing, doddering husband kicked the bucket, had an affair, with Victoria being the illicit child as a result - with her husband's consent and encouragement (the Duke may not have even been around when Victoria was conceived, away in the country!). Top of the list of suspects was her mother's comptroller and lover, Sir John Conroy. There are a couple other possible candidates, including one man who died quite young, with his other descendants suffering from sporadic haemophilia.

There's also some interesting evidence that Victoria's beloved Albert was likewise the product of an illicit affair - his mother had an affair with a Jewish chamberlain, Baron von Mayern, who was by all accounts a cultivated, musically talented, and intelligent man. Albert's incredibly stupid, short and swarthy father and his even stupider, short and swarthy brother both had hereditary syphilis, but the tall blond, blue-eyed Albert had no evidence of having had the disease, as well as being remarkably bright in comparison to the rest of his loser family.

(FWIW, the term 'blue-blood' actually is not a reference to haemophilia, but either (a) refering to the untanned pale skin of the aristocracy compared to their hard-working outdoorsy peasant subjects (b) argyria, a blood disease caused by the reaction of the blood to silver tableware, or (b) methemoglobinemia, another blood disease caused by excessive in-breeding. Take your pick.)

There is almost irrefutable evidence that the 'royal' family isn't all that royal anyway, even before Victoria's mom was searching for a sperm donor - King Edward IV was the product of a well proven affair his mother had with a French archer named Blaybourne while her husband was miles away at war. By strict bloodline rights, it's an Australian sheep farmer who is the rightful British monarch, not EII.

One last observation - inbreeding isn't confined to either royal families or hick kissing cousins in the backwater South. My own family tree is replete with 'well-bred' upper class New England gentlemen farmers (think Mel Gibson in The Patriot) marrying their neices, and first cousins marrying first cousins - not only because the available gene pool was rather restricted at the time, but because it was a way to keep the farm and its assets within the family. Every social stratus has had its share of 'in-breeding', with mixed results. I am, however, pretty sure my family didn't interbreed with any turtles.

Any way you slice it, even the purest of the pure 'in-bred' bloodlines are anything but.

Ain't genealogy fun?

was part of a haemophilia study. Turns out she is a direct descendant of Victoria. It was a rare haemopilia; they lack factor 9, not factor 8 in the clotting process, which is the more common disease. This kept our nephew Paul from getting HIV, because the clotting drugs did not work on him, since they were all made for factor 8.

The gene was factored out in her generation, only her older sister was a carrier.

Nonny, Your family tree must look like a cloverleaf overpass. Or a Moebius Strip.

I'm german/french. Gee I hope I qualify. Big smile!

)O(

I'm Pict/Scots/Welsh

With maybe just a smidgen of Cherokee.

BTW: Pict? A little archaic, no? Where are the Picts at?

)O(

The earliest known reference to our family's surname dates at 1000 CE.

It's in the Domesday book of William the Conqueror.

And when the Stewarts took over Scotland, they made everyone use their tartan and coat of arms except our family, supposedly because they "respected" us.

I'm German and English. My husband was Sioux and Hungarian. So that makes my kids German, English, Sioux and Hungarian. My grandchildren have all these plus a few other mixes.

I'm part Irish and part Chickasaw. No drinking problem here! And I don't like to fight either.

If I was to run into that pasty fuck Kilmeade he would feel my wrath for his anti-species mating ways.

I am for sure Mexican/Apache on one side of family, Cherokee/Chickasaw/Choctaw/Scottish/Irish/Welsh/English on the other.

In addition to that, if the recent genealogy research I have is correct, then there's also French/Belgian/German/Italian/Swedish/Norwegian in my more distant genetic past! ;)

Doocymeade can kiss my big, fat, tawny behind!

Personally, I'd wouldn't want this moron's moron anywhere near me. I'm sure this guy causes accidental death and destruction where ever he goes, never the wiser, because he's THAT stupid.

:S

God, the ignorance is disgusting...

Two separate species cannot produce a fertile child. When a donkey and a horse (two separate species) do the dirty, they produce a mule, but the mule is sterile.

There is no racial combination of human beings which result in such an infertile offspring. Ergo, human beings are all a part of the same species.

would explain why Mr. Spock never had a kid.

"There is only one race, and that is the human race."

I'm doing my best to teach my daughters that.

SO SAY WE ALL!

)O(

ALL!!!

.

That Brian Kilmeade opened his mouth and removed any doubt people may have about his intellect, what is more shocking is that his co hosts just sit there, laughing.

.

H. G. Wells might re-title his book "The Island of Dr. Kilmeade"

one(maybe two)card(s) short of a full deck.

Kilmeade's "intellectual" strengths are based upon his readings of back issues of Sports Illustrated, Mad Magazine and the sports pages of USA Today. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Brian..

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

With the exception of Keith Olbermann, Howard Cosell and a few others, sports anchors historically tend to be utter dimwits, reading what they're told.

Far to subtle and sophisticated for brown haired guy who is not Steve Doocey.

Kilmeade is saying that "pure genes" and white supremacy leads to Socialism?

A really bad thing? I've always read that genetic homogeneity in a population always made them less resistant to disease.

Disease, as well as birth-defects.

Species is defined as being able to reproduce sexually without outside help. In other words, having campatible DNA. Marrying other species will not affect the human gene pool as no offspring could result from such a union. This is just as stupid as the idiot from Arizona who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old.

I'm working up to that. Right now, I just have sex without any outside help.

inside help?

What else do you expect from a guy who ran off the set with his tail between his legs when Jessie Ventura handed Kilmeade his own ass on the subject of torture?

You have no idea how right you are Senator...
http://washingtonindependent.com/50152/demint...

I have two female cats and a baby alligator. None of them have hatched my eggs yet. I'll never be a daddy. :(

the timing must be juuuuuuust right...

Ok. I'll put in some Luther Vandross.
