Another Fox News Host with Another Racist Tirade

This time it's John Gibson on his radio show talking about how he knew the school shooting in Ohio was done by a black kid who listened to hip hop music! Except it was a white kid. Oooops.

Then he was certain that the kid at least listened to hip-hop music (which, by the way, is not the same as gangster rap, in case Gibson is interested in knowing anything before he speaks; it's also not jazz, I know it comes as surprise to Fox News hosts when all black entertainers do not immediately break out in rap). Except the kid was a Marilyn Manson fan. Oooops.

So, Gibson desperately tried to pin this shooting on blacks or black culture, ignoring the fact that almost all school shootings in America are committed by young, white males (which also doesn't prove anything), including this one. Then, at the end, he unbelievably turns it around and tries to make the shooting seem more classy because the kid shot himself at the end. According to John Gibson, "hip-hoppers" are so cold blooded they they walk away from a shooting and do it again. Is his implication that white murderers have the decency to kill themselves afterward? Does that make it better?

It seems hard to believe he'd say these things, right? Listen for yourself:

1. Actually, it isn't at all hard to believe he'd say those things ...
... it fits in perfectly with the other BS he spouts on a regular basis.

2. Well, this hardly seems worth it on Gibson, but here it goes: ...
Boo-o-o-o-o! Asshole.

4. After we ran Gibson's audio
on "Head-On With Bob Kincaid" the other night, a listener pointed out to me that John Gibson is a dead-ringer for Odo from Deep Space 9, without, mind you, all of Odo's "charm."

Isn't it funny how Gibson can spot a "war on christmas," but he can't seem to correctly identify a shooter?

Kinda reminds me of the time that Phlush Phlegmball pronounced Sherrod Brown's name as "Sher-ROD" and told America, "of course, he's black."

12. On further reflection
the comparison IS rather tough on Odo.

Hell, where John Gibson's concerned, the comparison would be tough on a Ferenghi.

Love your screen name!

I was quoting from another Robbins novel on a thread here just the other day.

13. Gibson is trying real hard to be one of the major bigots at fox
but somehow he always seems to fall short. Even his conspiracy theories are lamer and stupider even than o'falafel's. He's a fake and he's getting desperate. Pretty soon he'll implode right there on your radio screen.
