Fox News knows that this story will definitely fall apart.
But for the time being they can give their audience exactly what they want: The feeling that they are special and besieged.

"You rape our women, youre taking over our country. You have to go."
Yep, sounds like he has a beef with Christians raping women and trying to take over this non-Christian country.

I don't really believe that they should be arrested. But they shouldn't be allowed to call themselves a news agency

(22,336 posts)A lot of racism has been done in the name of Christianity, and also, like this one, supposedly to protect white women.

(3,660 posts)Since Christianity is doing a far better job of taking over the government than AAs are. Really not sure where that comes from even for the Stormfront loons. Sure a biracial president is a bitter pill for them, but I'm pretty sure it's tough even for inveterate propagandists to show the mass political, financial or normative power over whites somehow wielded by black Americans.
