John Gibson Compares Eric Holder to a Monkey UPDATED: Doctored Video
By Heather Friday Feb 20, 2009 5:30amh/t David J at Daily Kos.
Have you had enough of this garbage yet?. While discussing the monkey that escaped from the zoo in Seattle, the Fox News model uses the words "bright blue scrotum" over and over to describe how the monkey that escaped from the zoo looks when it's angry. She then tosses it to Gibson who manages to get this zinger in there at the end of the clip.
We were talking about Eric Holder today on the radio, and his bright blue scrotum.
Not that I think it will do an ounce of good since Fox obviously does not care how openly racist they are, but if you want to let them know you don't approve of this behavior here's their contact page.
UPDATE: It appears that the video was doctored and Gibson never compared Eric Holder to a monkey. We do not know the origin of the doctored video. We regret the error.

"oooh...scrotum scrotum scrotum scrotum...I said scrooootum on tveeee...neener neener neener"
FOX News...an American embarrassment.
three year old but what's a year at that age?
Why continue watching FOX? You already know what you're going to see and hear. You could spend your time outside playing with a dog, or making potholders with your children, or just taking a nap. Or you could volunteer down at the homeless shelter, donate some time/money to charity, clean up your local park, help organize a protest. There are so many other, better things to do!
And yes, you're right--there are better things to do than post to internet sites. So I'm off to do them!
I have a new dog and I spend a hell of a lot of time playing with him and having fun. When he's napping, I check in with C&L to see what's up.
Yes there are better things to do. Now I can go to work. But first I will get down on one knee and thank the FSM that I still have a job to go to.
touch you!
...favorably mark you with his spaghetti sauce stigmata.
FSM blessing.
Nice touch.
In addition to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, one of the most exciting developments in fundamental physics in the last twenty years has been the development of so-called “String Theory.” In string Theory, all fundamental sub-atomic particles are visualized and described mathematically as microscopic vibrating strings. Although as yet unproven, many physicists believe that String Theory has the potential to become the long-sought “Theory of Everything,” through which the fundamental physical nature of all matter and forces will become understood.
Obviously String Theory IS correct, although misnamed (a secular humanist conspiracy perhaps?). As NOODLE Theory clearly unambiguously reveals, He has created the fundamental subatomic particles that form all matter in this universe in His own quivering image! You, me, the Earth, the stars…everything in the universe…are all built of trillions of tiny jiggling noodles, microscopic copies of our Divine Saucy Maker. Truly He is everywhere and in all things!
Boy-oh-Boyardi and Ramen!
That does it. I now have a new belief system.
Thanks.

....we learn from Noodle Theory that His Noodly Appendageness created the universe in greater depth than anyone expected. By Noodle Theory, we find that space time is not 4-dimensional but rather 10-, maybe even, 26-dimensional. That makes for far more satisfying universe to live within. Plenty of more enfolded spaces in which to store one's supplies of Pasta.
Truly, the Divine is apparent in Its Creation.
Alfredus, Marinarus et Ramenem
oops sorry double post - too much pasta last night :)
...in a Divine Pasta moment of inspiration
WTF was Gibson thinking? The SOB should be fired for that.
I'll tell you what he thinking. He was thinking how clever he is. Yeah, that is what passes for funny and bright at Fox. Pathetic.
Being an ass hole is one thing. Feeling one has to prove one is an ass hole each day is another. I guess Gibson feels if he doesn't remind us that he's an ass hole, we might forget.
If he ain't pissin somebody off, his day ain't complete.
felt like they had to go one better than the ny post...
Good job gibson and fox...you have truly shown the post who is the bigger racist...
Do you need a college degree to work at Fox? Common sense doesn't come into play at all and that's clearly obvious. Wow, How awfull to be them
my thoughts on how to curb the disease that is Fox news are far too radical and rough for consideration.
I have some thoughts on that too, that might be considered a bit too radical as well..but it would work I betcha!
It does no good to complain to faux news about this shit. They know who their audience is and they're giving them what they want. This will continue - no, get much worse - over the next 4 years until they succeed in whipping up their moron fan boys into committing more acts of violence. That terrorist attack at the Unitarian church in Tennessee was merely act one.
and that should be the last word....we have a winner.
The people that are left watching them have no qualms with racism and hate.
A vervet monkey is about the size of a house cat -- biggest they get is maybe 15 pounds. But on FOX, hey, focus first on fear, then racist snark.
Oh, and about that blue scrotum?
The vervet monkey has a vivid blue scrotum which pales when the animal falls in social rank. Histology and electron microscopy show dopa-positive melanocytes in the dermis each packed with fully melanised melanosomes. In transmitted light the scrotal skin is brown on a red background: by reflected light the colour is blue. Thus the blue colour is due to Tyndall scattering over a layer of melanin. Variation of scrotal colour is not due to changes in melanocyte number or dispersion of melanosomes. Pallor is induced by injecting fluid, and blueness can be restored by removing fluid. It is concluded that the blue-to-white colour variation is modulated by the degree of dermal hydration.
Bet you didn't know that.
Well no, I sure didn't. Now I have learned my something for today so I can relax for the next several hours. Thank you!
Thanks. If I ever start another garage band it is SO going to be named Blue Vervet Balls.
Too much book larnin this early in the mornin!
But no, I didn't know that.
Monkey on "lose" at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
Really?
Idiots.
If this sort of stuff is allowed to continue, along with rush's rants like the one Buzzflash has posted today, things could get frightening.
Putting aside for a moment the obvious disgust with what Gibson said, it was just plain totally classless to speak of any man's scrotum in such a manner. Had that comment been made by anyone else on any other channel, BillO would be raising hell.
For real.
I for one will be on the side of the oppressed.
They complain about how Holder's "coward" comment is anti-American (as if any time someone criticizes Americans they are somehow automatically evil), and then they go prove his point by showing what cowards they are. Instead of responding to the criticism, they fling mud. The state of American "dialogue" has never been worse. Kill the media!
Considering their simian behavior, ya sure it's mud?
Why don't they talk this much openly about john gibson's shriveled scrotum?
.
Is FAUX trying to PROVE Darwinian theory?
They're not that smart. But they ARE trying to incite violence.
FOX is a neocon propaganda outlet. Their intentions are entirely malign. Since it is their intention to foment division by any means possible, you can assume that their racism is a deliberate part of a strategy to appeal to degraded instincts. Since they are in the business specifically in order to manipulate their viewers, it is unlikely that offering your complaints and criticisms is going to be any different than talking to a brick wall. They are devoid of even the minimum-most traces of common decency. Save your breath.
Instead, post your complaint to the FCC on line using the following link. Let the FCC feel your outrage and know how you feel about this example of many of FOX's broadcast obscenity. If you happen to believe that propaganda constitutes the ultimate form of broadcast obscenity and viewer abuse, let them know that, too. You might also consider mentioning that racist hate speech, deliberately deployed as manipulative and dishonest political propaganda, fraudulantly presented as news and analysis is almost blatantly obscene. It might also be useful to point out that News Corporation, Incorporated is in clear violation of the terms of their broadfcast licenses, in that they do not seem to have any interest in serving the public's interest, instead choosing to abuse the public rather than inform it. For your convenience, a link to the FCC's on-line complaint department dealing with broadcast obscenity:
http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgb/fcc475B.cfm
A couple million complaints should get their attention. I will see if the Department of Justice has a similar on-line complaint form for hate speech/crimes.
That's not a better idea, that's a great idea.
Filed my complaint just now.
Thanks. Maybe we can change the landscape just a little bit.
Complaining to Fox will just embolden the behavior.
Not embiggens?
Or is that the title of a big boob skin mag?
No...it's southernese for "Hey, look at those large mammaries on that woman."
I'll translate...
"Hey, lookit 'embiggens ovar!"
thar!
I'm gonna doit!
In fact, now that you mention it, I could see them running an entire segment dedicated to ridiculing those who call them on it, portraying their racism, hate mongering and propaganda as an act of patriotic virtue...somethig deserving of a Pulitzer. I can just hear their sneering voices.....
That whole ideology exists to inflame, divide and destroy.
Your idea is certainly the best course of action.
and complaining to faux only adds fuel to their fire...doing an end run directly to the FCC as Paul suggests, is taking away their ammo.
"...doing an end run directly..."
:)
that doesn't really make sense does it? lol!
I knew those beers last night would come back to haunt me...
a little apple juice can't correct.
(apple juice = code for Jose Cuervo)
Jose don't like me anymore...
He treats me worse than beer.
I prefer a grey goose martini if I'm gonna drink liquor.
Jose and I have had a long relationship. Like any relationship it's had it's rocky moments. Once I fell into the Monte Alban trap but saw the light one morning when needle nose pliers were needed to peel my tongue from the roof of my mouth.
Ya know, all tequila is currently experiencing some quality issues. Some agave farmers jumped to the corn/ethanol market and that kind of put a crimp on quality agave needed for production. Most have switched back to agave but this switch has led to hastily grown agave and some producers are picking the fruit a little too soon.
It's the difference between 'sweet' tasting Jose and 'bitter' or 'mescali' tasting tequila.
Either way, by the time the fourth one hits the belly it's all good.
with Jose...dunno if my metabolism kinda changed (now that I'm an old fart) the way my body processes certain distilled spirits, but Jose is like a sledgehammer on my noggin the next mornin, that's only if I can manage to keep it down...if I must drink tequila, it's gotta be Patron at least...
Don't mean to sound like any kind of tequila snob....but my innards just can't handle the Jose.
Patron is just a little too strong for me!
I like my tequila a little dirty, so Jose it is. It's the only liquor that no longer gives me a headache - and I've tried almost all of them!
yeah, it's called:
inyouendoh, er, innuendo.Done.
I'm going to keep that site in mind for future use.
Us monkeys have taken a hit this week. You guys can take pot shots at the apes and chimps all you want, they don't have feelings.
Scrotum? Hmmm..isn't that an Asylum Street Spankers tune?
Ah Yes, It just goes to show that adhering to the parameters of adult decorum is not tolerated on Faux Noise.
At the break they all probably began flinging excrement at each other.
add to my New Year's resolution not to watch US media morons. Either they lie, make up crap, or just downright try to brainwash. And it works. It must really suck for those people that have no access to the internet and real news.
OT but markets just opened. BAC plunged to 3.25, may see $2's. Ugly.
If they are going to crash, they might as well go all out!
John Gibson is slime, as is Rupert Murdoch and Fake News. Obama needs to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine or break up the media monopolies, whatever comes first!
influence politics in this country.
His monopoly should be broken, and he should be forever barred from entering this country, and doing any business dealing with any American corporation, he is an agent provocateur ans should be treated as such.
Problem is, he throws big azz fundraisers for both Dems and Repugs. And they luv money.
He is taking an active part in the downfall of this nation.
HE IS THE ENEMY!
He truly is an enemy of ALL Americans and conservitard's tiny brains cannot comprehend that fact.
He has "news" outfits around the world, and I'm sure using the same tactics of division.
He's on a mission.
a US citizen
...special act of Congress. Shows how green his money is. But what Congress gives, it can also take.
The basis of the Fairness Doctrine was that these broadcasting companies are using publicly owned airwaves, thus have a responsibility to use the airwaves responsibly.
That wouldn't apply to a cable new station.
We need a fairness doctrine that applies to cable as well. The new and improved Fairness Doctrine for the 21st century.
of this??

Now that's quite a stretch!
i really think your missing the point here! fox news is the right arm of the repig misinformation orginisation, they are there to give you some crazy idea that the rest of the news whores are somewhat better then they are, witness how the news whores gave you clinton and obama to choose from in the democratic debates, did you really think they were doing you a favor by takeing the debates away from the league of women voters , no they steared you to the two most right of center candidates we had, and to my notion right of center only means repig lites, notice if you will clintons just a repig with jugs , obamas just a repig whos more then willing to be a punk for the war for profit corporations , the debates were just a place for morons to be seduced at , man it cant get any better then that!
Good point.
morning paul ! thnx !
"Clinton's just a repig with jugs"
Ahahaha, good one, tyree!
The scariest shit I heard was when Hume on Fox exhorted white people to have more babies so the minorities stay a minority.

You do realize that is you call them on it they will say they did not say it and if you show them in black and white they say they were taken out of context. You know Fox can never admit that they are wrong just it is always someone elses fault.
Conservatives are pathological liars. That fact is well known on this site.
this causes my inner Frenchman to exclaim, "Sacre Bleu!!!".
That was racist.
Sure the rest of the crew was giggling about private parts. But none of them were thinking anything about black people. Then John Gibson came along...
So now Fox is moving into racist pornography?
Has anybody asked John Gibson the color of HIS scrotum after he's been nut-kicked by people who don't tolerate racist pornography very well?
Isn't there SOMETHING that can be done to shut down Fox? If these comments were made in someone's place of employment, there's a strong case for racial harassment that supercedes a "right to free speech". Why is this kind of garbage allowed on the airwaves?
Are there other cable stations that feature pornographic racist material?
I once sent John Gibson an e-mail asking him if he were a liar or just stupid and he replied, thanking me for the question. Apparently he was both.
Another example of conservative "humor;"

I make sure to have a whole passel of gloomy gus-ism to describe our bitter, out-of-touch, failurist friends in the GOP. I would be happy for more if anyone has them, but no cuss words. Feel free to use any of the above.
....turn-around of Newt Gingritch's strategy. How about throwing Spiro Agnew's words back at them?:
"Nattering Nabobs of Negativity"
Rotten fungus infecting slime?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g79_ljVC5Wk
Agnew spoke it, but Nazi Pat ("sounded better in the original German") wrote it...
but now that you mention it, that does sound like one of Buchanan's spewings.
Here's another one from Firesign Theater:
"A salt-filled pancake on the body politic of America"
Aw, I was avoiding that one. It's so... so buchananistic! Buchananistic bombast.
But seriously, I am hoping that everyone does what Rove and the GOP has been doing for years. Not just adopting memes, but using the same words among columnists as to give the impression of immutability. It must be so, if we says it is.
My favorite is "failurists." Limbaugh gave us that one SWAK.
I saw some blond nazi girl on TV just a few days back, she kept going Ew E ah ah ah, before she would respond to questions. I know she is making fun of Obama's stutter with a monkey twist to it by adding the Ew E to the beginning of the ah ah ah. This country is totally ridiculous, you can't tell the media is hijacked by racists, they hide it so well.
If any of you wonder how or why my posts sometimes come across insane, I live with in the sickness, totally surrounded by freaks. Hey at least our cops won't shoot or brutalize white people around here, that activity is reserved for the more liberal area's of America.
Oh yea fox news sucks.
What the Fuck?
This clip for me sums up one of the major reasons I decided last year to leave the U.S. and return to Europe (I am American born and raised).
I just had enough of trying to have a dialogue about politics, international issues, the environment, finance, corporate America, etc., etc., with the average American that develops their daily understanding of the world from watching this crap.
Some of you may be offended by what I am about to say but I don't care because I know what I'm talking about. This is not just a problem with Fox News and media sources like it. This is a problem with America.
A large, very large, percentage of the American public feel what this clip demonstrates. The only way this mentality is going to change is with education. But the 47% of the American population that subscribes to the "American - love it or leave. We are leaders of the Free World. We can kick anyone’s ass. Powell endorsed Obama because he's black., ..."
I'm sick of it. Grow up America.
Obama said it perfectly at his inauguration: "... But in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things...."
But Americans just can't do it. They are just to spoiled with an entitlement mentality and when reality hits them in the face, they just act more childishly.
This is serious. What Fox News represent is wrong. And you are hearing this from a white, 50-year old male. Why do I have to say that? I shouldn't. But almost half the nation will say that I must be a minority to have my opinions. Racism, sexism, age-discrimination, when does all this crap end? Why is America acting like children? Mocking skin color. Mocking handicaps. Mocking allies (Freedom Fries). Hopeless nation. Disgusting.
Difference between you and me is i am two years older and i have not left yet.
And the most obvious difference between you and me is that I've another year before I see 50.
"I'm not racist!" Bigots like Gibson have gotten away with nasty comments like that all of his life, so of course when called out his detractors have the problem...typical.

No wonder the rest of the world holds us in such contempt.
Not contumely?
You stay classy, Fox News.
..motel, Holiday Inn, Marriot, whereever and you notice FAUX news is the channel they are serving up with breakfast. Say to the maitre'd or other person in charge of said hotel, motel, etc., "Would you mind putting something other than the Comedy Channel on?" OR "Would you mind putting something on that's not driven by racial bias and unfair attacks against our nation's leaders?".
If they don't, let us know so we'll never stay there again! Its about time Progressives take a stand against this type of behavior.
There oughta' be a web site! Start getting public places to turn off FAUX and let the advertisers know. Its grass roots, its simple and it may start to be effective. Boycott the airing of FOX News in public! It doesn't serve the public; it breeds hate and racism. It has no place in public society!
Is a damn fine idea!
if Murdoch had invested a couple billion with Bernie Madoff?
At any rate, when Murdoch dies, his son Lachlan will run the media empire, but he's still going to have to share the $$$ with his sibs. That's going to weaken the fortune.

I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. I simply can't believe the rampant racism being peddled by the re-Thuglics - even knowing that they cannot be separated from their racism - I'm simply in awe of its public display.
I understand their preoccupation with "bright blue scrotums" however - as they each undoubtedly have one in their own pants these days.
*
The address for Faux news rejected my attempted email, and as I have never emailed them before, it must be due to the subject line: bright blue scrotums.
That has a nice ring to it for a conservative web site, like Little Green Footballs, but better.
