Fox host compares Maxine Waters to Whitney Houston. Tells her to "step away from the crack pipe."

Every time you think the Republicans can't get any deeper into the sewer, they do. Here's the link:

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/fox-host-compares-rep-maxine-waters-to-whitney?ref=fpb

(It's a short piece and you can read it in less than a minute.)

Do you suppose that his comment had something to do with both women being black? Then again, when talking about Fox "News" do I really need to ask that question?

From link in OP:

Quote
FOX Host Compares Rep. Maxine Waters To Whitney Houston: 'Step Away From The Crack Pipe'

Bolling made the comment after he and his hosts had watched a video of Waters giving a speech in which she referred to the House Republican leaders, John Boehner and Eric Cantor, as "demons."

So waters can call people "Demons" and yet nobody can call her as they see her. Next to Shela Jackson Lee, waters is the stupidest person elected to any political office, ever.

2. Fox was on Whitney's death like flies on shit.

View profile
I posted the details the night she died.

They had some horrid "anchor" with a droning Long Island accent talking about some magazines that had photos of Whitney's home showing a crack pipe and "stuff AWL OVAH the place." Said she should have been arrested and forced into rehab. This was within MINUTES of the news that she died.

YES, Whitney had drug and alcohol problems that she admitted many times in interviews.

But Fox just can't resist "connecting the dots" to other black women. Sadly, no one calls them on this garbage. The option is basically the grass roots move of threatening to boycott Fox advertisers. Money talks, everything else goes in one ear and out the other.

Oh boy!! ANOTHER BOYCOTT!!!!!!

11. Slander/Defamation of Character

Ms. Walters is a public official. She was specifically called a drug addict (crack pipe) over the national airwaves. This smears her reputation amoung the general population as representing her district, and the people who elected her. It implies she is not capable of doing her job.

Bad, bad, bad. I would love to be a fly on the wall at Fox to hear what their lawyers are saying to this stupid host. A comment like "what is she smoking" is just vague enough, but "Put down the crack pipe" is VERY specific and leaves no doubt what he was calling her.

And as such, I'm free to say what I want to about her. She'll take it a shut up about it.

There are few "slam dunk" defamation cases and they are particularly hard to bring if you are a public official or a public figure. "Put down the crack pipe", like "lay off the booze" and other similar sayings have both literal and non-literal meanings. I'm fairly confident that Waters isn't going to win a big lawsuit. She won't even bother to bring one.

And before people take this the wrong way, I am in no way condoning the statement about Waters. It was highly offensive. But not everything that is highly offensive is legally actionable.

I have heard nothing from Gloria All Red, and all the accusers of Herman Caine. This leads me to believe they had an agenda, and not a grievance.

I thought the allegations against Herman involved a different, but no less polically damaging, type of crack.

Well she isn't, and  I would hazard a guess that the majority of the people who elected her were smoking crack as well.

Hey, LURKING DUMBASSES! I think Hank Johnson, Corrine Brown, Sheila Jackson-Lee, AND Maxine Waters need to lay off the crack pipe. They're either on crack, or they're too illiterate to serve and only serve because their constituents are also illiterate.

You pick which one.
