Faux News - Megyn Kelly regarding Michelle: "...bluish-green is not the color for these women."

Megyn Kelly is the worst kind of moron: tthe blond, perky, Republican kind. America's Newsroom is only watchable because it's fun to see all the sexual tension between Bill Hemmer and Kelly, but Hemmer needs to put a ball-gag on that woman before they're both axed for being too racist — even for Fox News.

First she started in with that baby's mamma crap with the Obamas, and today she made these awesome comments about a fashion show the DNC speeches:

"I stand by my comments on the Michelle Obama dress…bluish-green is not the color for these women."

Well, at least she said "these women" instead of "those women," or "you people." Little known fact: It's not racism if you change a letter. Semantics are tricky that way.

[ceile]

1. Wow.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry....

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Yeah, that's a jaw-dropper. Plus not being able to come up with

a name for the color. Turquoise or whatever. Blueish-green.. that sounds kinda silly.

[seabeyond]

12. name for the color. Turquoise or whatever.... bah hahaha. that is funny. lol. n/t

[fasttense]

2. I would use the b word for Megyn Kelly but I wont stoop to a republicon's level. n/t

[texastoast]

24. You can call her a stupid racist shithead

Nothing chauvinistic about that.



:thumbsup:

[BrklynLiberal]

3. THAT is what she considers newsworthy????????????

:puke:

[lapfog_1]

5. "Bluish-green"

AKA turquoise??? Is this person so dumb that she doesn't know the names of anything other than the primary colors?

[beac]

31. And if turquoise is too long a word for her, "teal" is a nice short one.

But I imagine she was trying so hard not to give in to her burning desire to drop the N-bomb that she got all mixed up about her colors. :puke:

[Adelante]

6. Michelle looked so bad in bluish-green

I could hardly look ;)

[EFerrari]

9. LOL! Wow.

:wow:

:woohoo:

[peace13]

13. She is too beautiful!

She looks great in any color. Peace, KIm

[sandyj999]

20. She was absolutely beautiful in that color Megyn whatsherface should be so lucky! n/t

[Supersedeas]

23. maybe its not the color of the outfit that FOX and Megyn have a problem with

[devilgrrl]

44. Turquoise? Pfft! That's TEAL!

BTW, she's looks fabulous in TEAL! I wish I looked that bad in TEAL!

[undeterred]

76. Its a gorgeous color.

Its a gorgeous color on Michelle Obama.
Its a gorgeous color on almost anyone.
Someone who doesn't think so is probably colorblind.

[MzNov]

79. This is probably the best color she could pick. It's fabulous.

she also looks fantastic in white.

[DFW]

7. Yeah, and she's not blonde or blue-eyed, either

She'll still be the most attractive first spouse since Jackie Kennedy,
so put a lid on it, or don't, it ain't gonna change much.

[panader0]

8. It's racism either way to me. These women, those women, that woman....

[spanone]

10. 'these women' how restrained of her

:sarcasm:


motherfuckers

[Supersedeas]

45. FOX's finest

[truebrit71]

11. Wow..."these women"? Methinks that bottle-blond honky bitch needs to explain herself...

....right before Catwoman kicks her perky little ass...

:grr:

[LSK]

14. where do they find these racist pieces of trash?

[DCKit]

39. Better yet, why are they allowed on the TeeVee and Radio? n/t

[madrchsod]

41. she said that on don and roma !

[seabeyond]

15. these women, as in black women? bluish green? is that the flowered dress she had on?

worked for me....

[my2sense]

16. I wonder how long it will

be until there head explodes and they'll just use the word they really want to use.

[DangerDave921]

17. I would forgive Megyn Kelly a lot

Forgive me, but I find her to be absolutely gorgeous. Ever since that Duke rape case where she first became prominent. I started watching to see her.

[Disturbed]

18. Because she is "absolutely gorgeous" excuses her of being a Bigot?

:wtf:

[beac]

32. Yes, she's one of FOX's prettiest racist focktards.

:eyes:

Hopefully they will choose her to be the first on FOX to call Michelle "The First Negress" cause she'll look so lovely saying it. :puke:

[indie_voter]

34. as the old saying goes, beauty is only skin deep. n/t

[keroro gunsou]

38. beauty may only be skin deep

but ugly goes straight to the bone.

[NoGOPZone]

78. Forgiveness based on appearance? I hope you're not a judge. nt

[Bucky]

19. How exactly is "these women" less offensive than "those women"

Michelle looked fantastic. The real reason the Fox anchorettes don't like her outfit is because her skirt came below the knee. Everyone knows the real reason to watch Fox News is the panty-shots.

[samsingh]

21. that sounds very racist

[samsingh]

22. that sounds very racist

[lpbk2713]

25. "These" women?

I keep thinking how Faux can't outdo themselves with each outrage they pull. But sure enough they come
along and have some airhead dipshit say something out of an "All in the Family" script just like this.

They'll never change, that's for sure.

[DangerDave921]

48. A little context might help

When she said "these women" she was referring to the women speaking in front of a big blue background. They had been discussing dress color in that context. It was not a slight against black women at all.

[Marrah_G]

51. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh---- Thank you ! I should know better then to respond before knowing context

[kestrel91316]

26. I guess I'm crazy. I thought it was a GREAT color on her.

[Inspired]

27. Is she nuts? Michelle OWNED that color.

Fuck Megyn Kelly.

[StClone]

28. Bleached hair FAUX News Personality has an opinion

?v=0

[uberblonde]

29. Not only racist, but WRONG.

My friend is a professional color consultant, and has said for years that the earth tones favored by African-American women aren't flattering to their skin tones. She always recommends colors like blue, teal and purple to her AA clients.

[JDPriestly]

30. 1. Michelle is not trying to look like a Fox News reporter. She is trying to look

like a normal woman.

2. Actually, that shade of turquoise probably is Michelle's color. She needs strong, dramatic color. She looked great.

[monmouth]

33. Michelle could wear burlap and still outshine them all. Hags.....n/t

[Johonny]

35. Oddly my mom loved the dress

said it was the first time she saw her in something that was really right on her. Go figure.

[Retrograde]

36. at least Ms Obama knows how to wear clothes

rather than wrap herself in the nearest curtain or sofa covering. (BTW, who was that woman in the cherry-covered outfit behind Hillary Clinton last night? Talk about the Laura Bush school of design...). I liked the outfit, the color, and the poise and articulateness of the woman wearing it.

[SoCalDem]

37. Frankly, I have not seen ANY color that did not suit a black woman..

BUT I have seen many colors that do not favor many palefaced, washed out republicanesque women:)

[Solly Mack]

40. unlike the hooded white satin robes which Kelly wears so well, no doubt

But perhaps I don't give Kelly enough due...she's probably the one in the red robe

[Octafish]

42. This should be documented.

http://foxattacks.com/

Thanks, sabra!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

43. She said from under her hooded robe. n/t

[DangerDave921]

46. The Blue Background

That link also mentions that the clarification was that Megyn Kelly was referring to "these women" as being the women who were speaking in front of a big blue background. Hence, the issue of the color of the dress. She may have meant all the women speaking in front of that background, and not been talking about black women at all.

Just trying to be fair here.

[Gormy Cuss]

66. To be fair, remember this is the same woman who was involved in the "Obama's baby Mama" flap.

It was Kelly who was interviewing Malkin about Michelle O. when this appeared on the chyron:

Malkin actually tried to DEFEND this. At least FOX Noise apologized for it.


Perhaps without that incident and the others on her network ("terrorist fist jab" anyone?) people would cut her a little slack and believe that the blue screen, not black skin, was behind her comment about what these women shouldn't wear. Without seeing the full clip it's impossible for me to know which version to believe, but the pattern on Fox Noise makes me inclined to believe "these women" was just a cleaned up version of "those people."

[DangerDave921]

70. I hear ya

But it's also hard for me to blame Kelly for a tag that appears on the bottom of the screen when she's doing an interview. Probably some ignorant staffer put it there.

I'll give Kelly the benefit of the doubt on this one.

[Gormy Cuss]

77. How many excuses does she get?

She works for a network dedicated to slanting the news to the right under the Orwellian banner of "fair and balanced," and the network with a clear history of cheap shots at Democrats. I hold her and all the other well-paid on-air bearers of the FOX message equally responsible.

[DangerDave921]

80. But she's so cute! eom

[Gormy Cuss]

81. Stick your tongue back into your mouth and stop drooling. n/t

[shaniqua6392]

47. This coming from a woman who works for a network that does not allow women to wear pants?

She is a racist and venomous bitch.

[DangerDave921]

49. except

that she was not referring to black women at all.

[shaniqua6392]

52. You think she was not referring to black women at all?

"these women"??? What the hell do you think she meant by that? I guess she must have been referring to classy, successful, intelligent, highly educated and beautiful women when she made that comment about Mrs. Obama. Sure....That must have been what she meant. LOL!! I think men watch Faux News just for the remote chance that they may see up the skirts of the ditzy barbie dolls that they have on that network. No Dem should watch. No Dem should give that network the time of day. No Dem should give interviews to that piece of crap network in my opinion.

[DangerDave921]

53. Sorry, but you are mistaken

I did a little research on the topic. I googled "Megyn Kelly these women" and read about the issue on various blogs. She and the host were referring to an earlier discussion of fashion and dress color, and the issue of the blue background. The reference Kelly made to "these women" meant those women speaking in front of the blue background. i.e., a blue-green dress was not a good color in front of such a background. She was not referring to black women at all, despite many people jumping to that conclusion.

[Serial Mom]

54. yea, right... you know...

Your "research" is just making excuses for repuke talk that is just wrong.

How can you defend a comment like this as if you, as a male, would know/understand what "that" woman meant??

If she really meant it to be about talking in front of a blue background, she would have/should have explained her comment so people who do not know about TV backgrounds to know that is what she was talking about.

Get Real!

[DangerDave921]

55. It's called truth and honesty and fairness

It has nothing to do with me being male, or "defending" a comment, or making excuses. It's about explaining a comment that many people are clearly misinterpreting, perhaps by accident or perhaps willfully.

To call someone a racist, including references to KKK robes, is a serious matter, and should only be done in those circumstances where it is warranted. The term "racist" is thrown out so much on this site that once in a while, I have to take issue and ask for proof before such epithets are so casually put on someone.

In this case, reading about the issue in context (as opposed to a selective edit) it is clear to me that Kelly was not making any kind of slight against black women. She was referring to the women speaking in front of the blue background. It was not about race at all. But based on your tone, you are ready to assume, without any facts, that Kelly is a rabid racist.

[Serial Mom]

56. How can you KNOW that is what she meant?

and as I said before, any intelligent person would have/should have explained the reference so the VIEWERS would understand!

You are the all-knowing "In this case"??? People on TV in this day and age KNOW the impact of their words and should have the savy to properly word or properly explain what they said.

And yes, being male is a SLIGHT disadvantage to understanding what a woman meant in some cases. Don't act as if your "fairness, truth and honesty" is the whole truth in this matter!

And as to MY TONE - where the hell did I ever call her a rabid racist? I am offended by her words towards women, their appearance and what they wear WHICH AFFECTS NOBODY.

[stanwyck]

57. You're an example of why Fox has so many

Republican blondes. Like negative ads, it works. You're not going to listen to the concerns people here have about her comments because you like the, as Samanthea Bee so hilariously noted, "XXX, down and dirty Fox sluts." Fox knows who you are and that's why she has a job. This country can go to hell as long as you can turn in to see your breathing blow-up doll talk trash through a thick layer of lip gloss.
Get a copy of "Lars and Real Girl" and think about moving beyond having a pretend girlfriend.

[DangerDave921]

59. LOL

Very funny stuff! Thanks!

Does no one want to deal with facts here, or are people merely content to rely on innuendo, selective edits, and personal bias? Heck, I don't know this Kelly lady (although she is awfully pretty) or what is in her soul. But in this case, the comment was about the blue background, not about black women.

The concerns that peope are expressing on here? Of course I listen to concerns. Saying "these women" can easily sound like an offensive term. But in this case, it wasn't an offensive comment because she wasn't talking about black women! I listened to the concerns, and I explained why those concerns were misplaced.

Forgive me for actually looking into an issue before spouting out cries of racism.

[Serial Mom]

60. Wow, I didn't think there were any male chauvinistic pigs out here any more

But you really think you are morally superior to those who think you are defending and making excuses for a offensive comment by saying Forgive me for actually looking into an issue before spouting out cries of racism.

IF you researched it, you will see that Kelly did not explain that the comment was about Michele standing in front of a blue background... it was the other person on the show who said that Michele "blended in with the background". WELL IF YOU LOOK AT ANY PICTURES, SHE DID NOT BLEND IN WITH THE BACKGROUND.

And your comment But in this case, it wasn't an offensive comment because she wasn't talking about black women!

I stated she offended me as a woman, so by your point of view, it doesn't count that I was offended if I am not black????"

It was a bigoted comment towards other women, not racist! (bigoted means a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from theirs) - those comments do NOT BELONG ON THE NEWS

[DangerDave921]

62. OK, I give

Call NOW, get your banners and placards in place, and go march on FOX headquarters. Exercise your right to free speech.

Sorry, but I don't share your view that this was an offensive comment. I will, however, agree that discussion of fashion does not belong on the news. Then again, most of the idiotic commentary on TV doesn't belong on the news.

[stanwyck]

64. You undercut your rational points by mentioning your

crush on the blonde Republican. And this is exactly why these hordes of blonde fembots have overtaken conservative commentary. The drooling men who don't care what they say, they just love to watch their lips move.
I'm not sure you belong in a discussion of news commentary. Maybe a discussion of soft porn?

[DangerDave921]

65. Soft porn?

You are cracking me up today! LOL.

I believe I have been discussing the issue on the merits, and based on the facts. To the contrary, it is the so-called offended ones who are jumping to conclusions without analyzing the facts.

Are you saying you want to discuss soft porn? You have to shoot me a private email so we don't offend the other posters! (just kidding)

[stanwyck]

68. You've proven yourself

much too good for the likes of the conservative blondes. Give them up. The brunette liberal women are more fun anyway.

[DangerDave921]

69. More fun?

I've never been able to correlate political leanings and the fun-factor in women. I've known some conservative women who do the darnest things!

[onenote]

72. Jill Biden looks like a fun person.

Not all blondes are GOP. And not all brunettes are liberal.

Just sayin...

[stanwyck]

73. OK. Got me there

I'm a redhead. And we redheads actually are all liberals. It's part of the DNA.

[LanternWaste]

74. I think to be more accurate...

"It's called truth and honesty and fairness"

I think to be more accurate, it would merely be called "interpretation".

[DangerDave921]

75. I will concede that point

Of course my interpretations are always correct. :)

[Marrah_G]

50. "these women"? And is she fucking blind?

Mrs. Obama looked absolutely stunning in that dress. It was perfect. Elegant, sleek, etc

[Donald Ian Rankin]

58. Well, at least she's picked out the most important aspect of Michelle Obama's speach...

[Alter Ego]

61. I only have one thing to say.

"Megyn"?

[a la izquierda]

63. you read my mind.

wtf is megyn? a british person trying to say "me gynecologist" but cutting it short?

i hate the color teal/turquoise, but I thought Michelle looked fan-freakin'-tastic in it.

[JerseygirlCT]

67. "These women"?

Oh brother.

She looked gorgeous. But then, she always does. I love that color, and it looked great on her. And on Hillary, too actually. (More flattering than orange - but I hate orange anyway!)

[LynneSin]

71. Who are 'these women'

:grr:
