In reply to the discussion: FOX is concerned that America's (black) Olympians aren't patriotic enough [View all]AnotherMother4Peace
(4,225 posts)21. I don't know what the deal is, but I do know that Limbaugh
made some nasty comments about Gabby's hair that he attributed to others. This is something he always does. He'll say, "I didn't say this, it's what people are saying." Thereby rendering himself an innocent reporter of events. And I know that he panders to racists and bigots, constantly mocking people of color & women. And that he uses dog whistle phrases regularly. I also know that Gabby herself said she was astounded at the critique of her hair.
And I do listen to Limbaugh as part of my social responsibility. I don't feel that evil doers & bullies should be ignored. Just like the Southern Poverty Center tracks the KKK and White Supremacists, I think we need to know what the evil people are up to.

OF COURSE they aren't patriotic enough. They were OBVIOUSLY all born in Kenya!

They wear what was chosen for them to wear. Who cares what they wear. What they do is all that
