As we have previously posted, Bill O’Reilly spewed some shocking sour grapes on Election Night that were filled with racial resentment. The thoughts, albeit in more delicate form, have been reiterated all over Fox News. Two days ago, Megyn Kelly joined the Fox-News-Sore-Losers-With-Racial-Insinuations Club.

Although the election was far from over when O’Reilly offered up his commentary, it was clear he knew the night was not going well for Romney. With a sour face, he said:

It's a changing country. The demographics are changing. It's not a traditional America any more. And there are 50% of the voting public who want stuff. They want things. And who is going to give them things? President Obama. He knows it and he ran on it. And, whereby twenty years ago, President Obama would have been roundly defeated by an establishment candidate like Mitt Romney. The white establishment is now the minority. And the voters, many of them, feel that the economic system is stacked against them and they want stuff. You are going to see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama, overwhelming black vote for President Obama. And women will probably break President Obama’s way. People feel that they are entitled to things and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things?

This was an out-and-out complaint that the country is no longer “white” enough. Shocking to many people - but “interesting” to Kelly. She said:

This is an interesting theory. O’Reilly’s been talking about this on his show, in his Talking Points before (Election) night about how he feels like we are morphing into a society in which large sectors of the public are too dependent on the government and believe the government is there to solve their problems, and the government has a responsibility to solve their problems and not self-sufficient enough.

Kelly left out just who makes up those “large sectors of the public” but anyone who has watched her through the years knows that it’s almost certainly the same people who support those scary black men she baselessly alleged would be showing up at a polling place near you thanks to President Obama’s racial preference for African Americans. And those same ACORN supporters she painted as some kind of welfare frauds.

Lou Dobbs jumped on the “Obama-voters-are-welfare-queens” bandwagon that, as I wrote in a post on Crooks and Liars, has become something of a mantra on Fox lately. He complained about “40% of the population receiving Disability, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.”

There was a bit of discussion and dissension from Alan Colmes, the lone liberal voice on a panel with two other guests plus Kelly. She cited the old adage, “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.” Then she added, “There’s a question about, you know, whether there is this um, inclination by some on the left, by the President by the Democratic Party to give the man the fish… Is that fair?

Oh, those black fish-takers are just making life so difficult for Kelly, struggling as she does on her “middle class” wages while they loaf on her tax dollars! And isn’t it too bad that just like her colleague Steve Doocy, she didn’t bother to read up on just how that “entitlement” money is spent: overwhelmingly on the elderly, disabled and working people?

Colmes made an excellent point, that people like Romney also get hands outs from the government in the forms of tax breaks and bailouts.

But the others batted that away by saying they wouldn’t support that either and guest Dobbs went on to complain:

“(We need to) come to terms with the fact that all of this ideological rhetoric is an impediment and outright obfuscation in what should be an important national dialogue and debate that was not had by the presidential candidates because they were fueled, driven, enabled and embraced by a national liberal media, primarily,” that didn’t want a “national consensus.” 

Of course, what the Foxies are really looking at is debt and deficit reduction and President Obama’s plan to raise taxes for the wealthiest Americans (i.e. themselves) while not cutting back on all those (people of color) they imagine living high on the hog at their expense. That’s probably the next political battle on the horizon and if you think the Republicans are going to roll over just because Americans voted for tax increases over spending, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
