Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the third runner-up on season two of Survivor, had a particularly stupid thought Monday which she helpfully shared on national television. Elisabeth wondered why the Black Lives Matter movement hasnt been classified as a hate group. Whats funny is that weve all been wondering the same thing about her.
Hasselbeck pondered this question that was designed solely to further the narrative that black people deserve to be gunned down at the hands of their own government during a segment today on Fox & Friends, which attempted to make the very thin connection between the killing of a deputy in Texas by a man who happens to be black and the Black Lives Matter movement (h/t via the Wrap).
Elisabeth and (insert generic white, Fox New dudebro here) were joined by their resident [s]Uncle Tom[/s] black person, Kevin Jackson, who described the movement as nonsense and suggested that black people are being shot by the police at alarming rates because black families cant stay together.
His idiot remarks perfect set up Elisabeth to fear monger like only a woman of her limited intelligence, willfully emboldened by the backing of a truly evil conglomerate can.

(23,946 posts)ingredient, as vital as bitters to beer, of the toxic brew of Victimhood and Fear that Fox Sheeple Beverage Company, sells daily, fresh from Fox Fear and Hate factories under numerous trade names and labels, never having to list any of the ingredients.
Hasselbeck is just another well paid media salesperson/actress, one of many clones at Fox with the requisite talent and the lack of morals needed to be able such rancid shit and call it caviar - with a smile and a flash - without throwing up in self-disgust.
You think lack of GMO labelling is an important issue? Yes,it is, but that is nothing compared to the lack of media labelling.

(16,199 posts)People were arguing "look at Europe, it isn't a fascist hellhole". Never mind that it once was... But anyway, Europe doesn't have an insane contingent of citizens who protest universal health care among other things. I absolutely fear hate speech laws in the hands of a Republican controlled government.
