I hate writing about this kind of stuff, It’s because I know that the Republican Party is supposed to be the Party of Lincoln.
However, when you have stupid people, doing stupid stuff; like this. It is pretty freaking hard to defend that line.
This is Fox News Host Eric Bolling:
Yeah, I know where I got that video from; and I personally do not give a flying flip what ya’ll think about it either. You see, I feel about this; like I feel about other Republicans, who have dared to be this stupid. Get them the hell off the air and out of a job. You do something like that; I do not give a flying flip what your political views are, you’re an idiot and do not need to be on a Network representing a Conservative point of view.
For the record, I griped and bitched about a Fox News anchor that used the term “Terrorist Fist Bump” on the air, when referring to Obama. Her name was E.D. Hill and they got rid of her from that channel as well. At thought at the time, that it was lame, rude, and condescending towards a black man and I said so too! Not to mention the narrative that it was flaming; it was stupid and this is too.
Here is hoping that Eric Bolling goes to the unemployment line…..quickly.
Before anyone says it, don’t hand me no B.S. about “Freedom of Speech” either, okay? Because this was not free speech; this was speech designed to inflame and stoke Racial Bigotry and Division. This sort of ignorant crap is not even remotely Conservative or Republican.

Update: Jeff Goldberg over at The Atlantic nails it, as does Mediaite — sorta.
