Fox's Gutfeld: Democratic Policies Have "Infantilized" African-Americans And "Made Them Addicted To Crappy Programs"
Video ››› August 29, 2012 7:12 PM EDT

From the August 29 edition of Fox News' The Five:

GUTFELD: (Utah GOP congressional candidate Mia Love is) a black conservative woman. The only thing that scares liberals and the New York Times editorial board more is Israel and an arugula shortage. This woman -- even though I love her name, it sounds like it's from a Richard Roundtree movie, Mia Love - she's the best shot the Republicans have to remind America that (Abraham) Lincoln was a Republican and that all the policies from the Democrats have done nothing but infantilize an entire race and made them addicted to crappy programs.

1. this is true

People are becoming addicted to eating, I hear.

[kestrel91316]

14. ........and having a roof over their head. It's disgusting.

[2pooped2pop]

15. they're gonna be wanting health care too

if we don't watch em.

2. Are they TRYING to lose market share???

Politely...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

[chowder66]

3. What programs and are there any other races that utilize them Gutfeld?

Where are the facts to back this up and if you can show this what are the factual reasons and causes?

[2pooped2pop]

16. I think they mean all of the welfare or social service

programs. ANd I have seen here on DU twice that there are more white people getting food stamps than black. I don't know how that works percentage wise, who uses more social programs, but they are definitely used by all races.

But the pugs hate all poor, so they will just adjust the message from African American to poor or lower class people.

[SomethingFishy]

4. Yeah... but not white people.

Just because 61% of welfare recipients are white and 49% of food stamp recipients are white does not mean that Democrats have "infantilized" white people, just African Americans.

Republicans are going to lose bad. If the Democrats avoid doing anything monumentally stupid they should be able to keep the Presidency and the Senate and possibly take back the house.

8. About 5 years ago...

I was wondering how long the Republicans would last, and how they'd go out.

I am getting the feeling we are watching the start of the end-game, for the Republicans.

[SomethingFishy]

11. That would be up to the Democrats.

Republicans are desperate. They see the writing on the wall and they are trying to salvage at least Congress. Id the Dems can take everything and quit fucking around with "bi-partisanship" then we could see a major change in the Republican party.

Of course change for the Republicans means backing off from "looney as fuck" to "just plain dickheads".

[a geek named Bob]

13. You make some good points

1.) the question is how desperate? Desperate enough to start a coup?
2.) there seems to be a pernicious meme of "noble loser" haunting the democrats

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Most blacks are not on welfare or other government assistance.

Most have jobs. Most are just hard-working Americans supporting their families.

How can Faux get away with claiming an entire race of people in the United States is on government assistance when it's a total lie?

The scary part is that the Faux minions actually believe every black person is on welfare and stealing money from hard-working white Americans.

[siligut]

6. Infantilized? More like oppressed and debased.

Mormonism uses mind-control, she doesn't realize she is a tool. And the fucking myth that it is AAs that make up the majority using government programs irritates me to no end and it would seem we just can't rid ourselves of this falsehood.

[Gormy Cuss]

7. Calling men "boy" does tend to infantilize them.

Of course, it's not Democrats doing that. And Abe Lincoln's Republican party was a very different animal from the GOP today.

[bemildred]

9. Same old shit, "welfare queens", one racist dog whistle after another. nt

[Jennicut]

10. Not only is this offensive to African Americans,

this idiot also puts down arugula. I take it he never had a delicious arugula salad. Scum. And more whites are on food stamps. They spread lies without even thinking about it.

[sarcasmo]

12. Racist channel, supporting a Racist party.

[JHB]

17. But conservatives have been saying the same thing since BEFORE those policies...

Does Gutfeld claim those policies have been in effect for nearly 150 years?

Summary: One in a series of racist posters attacking Radical Republicans on the issue of black suffrage, issued during the Pennsylvania gubernatorial election of 1866. (See also "The Constitutional Amendment!," no. 1866-5.) The series advocates the election of Hiester Clymer, who ran for governor on a white-supremacy platform, supporting President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction policies. In this poster a black man lounges idly in the foreground as one white man ploughs his field and another chops wood. Accompanying labels are: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread," and "The white man must work to keep his children and pay his taxes." The black man wonders, "Whar is de use for me to work as long as dey make dese appropriations." Above in a cloud is an image of the "Freedman's Bureau! Negro Estimate of Freedom!" The bureau is pictured as a large domed building resembling the U.S. Capitol and is inscribed "Freedom and No Work." Its columns and walls are labeled, "Candy," "Rum, Gin, Whiskey," "Sugar Plums," "Indolence," "White Women," "Apathy," "White Sugar," "Idleness," "Fish Balls," "Clams," "Stews," and "Pies." At right is a table giving figures for the funds appropriated by Congress to support the bureau and information on the inequity of the bounties received by black and white veterans of the Civil War.
