Fox News: Gabby Douglas sucks for not wearing a US flag!

Postby HeresJohnny » Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:34 pm

An pundit on Fox News attacked gymnast Gabby Douglas for donning a pink leotard as opposed to the good ol' stars and stripes. Yeah, what the hell is wrong with her? I mean, I thought she was from Svalbard. According to him, this is indicative of the "soft anti-Americanism" that is prevalent in modern society.

Uhh...are Fox News commentators even serious? What the hell?

It's truly amazing that so many Americans would watch Fox more than any other news network. Do they tune in for laughs? Oh wait, I know. Go to Youtube, type in "Fox News" and look at the suggestions. Quality legs/boobs, er, uh, journalism.

We in America used to define patriotism by representing your country in a dignified manner.

Now we define patriotism by how many times you've gotten the American flag tattooed on your penis.

God bless motherfucking America.

What kind of commie sympathizing softie are you, anyway? I've had the ENTIRE U.S. SEAL tattooed both of my eyes. That's patriotism, baby. After all, we're a very nationalistic country like the guy said.

As I pointed out when I heard about this shit: "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel..." 4 USC §8(d).
If you see I've made a mistake in my wording or a factual detail, telegram me and I'll fix it. I'll even give you credit for pointing it out, if you'd like.

Of course we're nationalistic. But there's a point where it's just completely fucking asinine.

Yes. Don't where the flag as a leotard.

But you can print an image of the flag on your hat and it isn't a problem.

If I facepalm any harder I'll break my own nose...

Nothing patriotic about a young woman representing our country on the world stage to the best of her ability and bringing home the gold for her efforts...

...or about her mother scraping and saving even in the face of bankruptcy so her daughter could achieve that dream...

...nope, defying all odds and working your ass off to achieve your dreams all in the name the American Dream has nothing patriotic about it. Nope. Nothing.

Fucking Christ.

Not that is stops those ultra-patriots like Sarah Palin...

...but what do I know, I'm just another psycho leftist commie.

It's like they're not even trying anymore. This reminds of of the whole 'flag pin' debacle.

nice accurate headline
they were questioning the entire teams wardrobe, not her's specificly. Tell me, do you work for MSNBC?
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I suppose snide comments associating people with the milquetoast liberals of MSNBC are so much better.

"You know, Gabby had that great moment, and everyone was so excited, and she's in hot pink -- and that's her prerogative," Camerota said. Webb, who hosts a program on Sirius/XM's "Patriot" channel, wondered, "What's wrong with showing some pride?" He likened the uniform choice to a "kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can't show their exceptionalism."

Excpet Camerota DID talk about her's specifically.

Along with Joe Hill...dammit, now I'm going to spend the rest of the night listening to Joan Baez.

I also once mistook a cardboard cutout of Barbara Streisand for him.

That was embarrassing.
