Shannon Bream: Why Shouldn’t Businesses Be Allowed To Discriminate Against Gays?

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on February 28, 2014 · Flag

Shannon Bream ostensibly hosted a discussion about media coverage of Arizona’s anti-gay bill that its governor just vetoed. But Bream made it clear she thought the controversy about the bill was overblown. When guest Bernard Goldberg explained that businesses should not discriminate against customers, she asked, “Why not? Why not? This is America.”

Bernard Goldberg did a good job explaining to Bream last night what was wrong the Arizona bill. He said, "If you open a shop on Main Street, open to the general public, then you have to really serve the general public and you can’t say,  'Well, I’m not gonna serve these people but I will serve those people.'”

Goldberg tried to continue but Bream interrupted to say: 

Why not? Why not? This is America. We all have freedoms. …Why would you want to force them to do business with you? Why not just go down the street and say, “I’m gonna spend my money with somebody who supports me and is kind to me and wants to help me and provide these services for me?”

Slavery was legal once. Women once didn’t have the right to vote. Methinks this is Fox at its worst — intentionally pandering to a few of their knucklehead fans to keep them in line. This woman simply cannot be this dumb.

Zaglossus is correct about Bream: She got a BA from Liberty and a J.D. from Florida State U., as per Fox News’ bio of her.

I’ll need to see her Law Degree and license to Practice if she’s seriously asking that question!

“This is America. We all have freedoms….” I’d like Bream to finish this train of thought, because it is incomprehensible to me what the next words would be -other than: " We all have freedoms to discriminate." or “We all have freedoms to NOT serve the community.” I think Bream fundamentally misunderstands this country and its history, and more broadly she does not understand how society and civilization must be organized beyond the desires of the individual in order to function. She appears to be educated, but completely lacking in perception (stupid).

I agree with Ms Bream. But while we’re at it—allowing businesses to discriminate against anyone for any reason—how would she feel if businesses were allowed to discriminate against bleached blonde bimbos?

How fast do you think she’d haul a business that discriminated against her into court?

Bubblehead Bream demonstrates how she got her nickname.

Love Bernard’s look, right at the end. He might be thinking: “Did I just have this conversation?!”

I would posit that a law degree, or ANY degree from Liberty U has about as much gravitas as a medical degree from a box of Cracker Jacks.

Shannon Bream's idea of freedom: The right to discriminate.

I realize it’s not terribly hard to do, but you guys do a really good job of screen grabbing all of these Fox blonde talking heads when they look the most ridiculous.
