1. So does this mean that Fox will continue to push racism as an election strategy and part ways with the GOP.

Racist -leader Ann Coulter blew another dog whistle today claiming American born Hailey is an "immigrant"...because of course you can just make shit up on Fox if the dog whistle is going dry.

The next thing to take down is not just more Dixie Swastika flags and statues and patches, all very good, all long overdue...it should be Fox.

P.S. There should have been a ceremony...during which folks could freely spit on the flag of a vanquished racist nation.

3. I expect Ann is busy on her computer

writing a book on how white heritage moments are being destroyed in America. Seeing a lot of her on TV and hearing her on radio hawking her latest vomit book on immigration.

11. Oh yes the "White Guilt" Meme

Got a hard core Republican in-law who was saying something about stop giving us white guys a hard time for crap we did 300 years ago.

Or something like that.

2. i had read a similar idea sonewhere i cant remember where

. basically it was that the american swastika should be burned on the steps of the capital and then some african americans would be invited to piss on the ashes

5. Sounds like the Rude Pundit to me.

7. that was it

6. Jealously. Never underestimate that emotion. The hate/jealousy the rednecks and racists feel towards

the vast majority of recent immigrants finding success in America because of their work ethics and family values is making the stuck-in-rut of their own making is making rednecks jealous.

As we see on DU at times, when you have no real point or argument....attack. Facts are optional.

8. That should give some a momentary thrill.

However, I have never found it helpful to poke a hornets nest with a stick. Anyone who thinks FOX, Rush, etc. are guilty of inciting violence need to consider whether they would be willing to accept responsibility for doing the same.

4. They might also want to consider their state flag as well.

10. Alabama Gov. Bentley removes Confederate flags from Capitol grounds

... After the battle flag – which is at the center of the controversy – was gone, workers began removing three other Civil War era flags. They are the First National Confederate Flag, commonly preferred to as the "Stars and Bars;" the second flag is the Second National Confederate Flag, more commonly known as the "Stainless Banner;" and the last flag standing is the Third National Confederate Flag ...
