Oh you wacky Fox News racist!

More fun on Fox News as some of their talking heads discussed a study that suggested that couples who enjoy long marriages showed a reduced tendency to develop Alzheimer's disease. Here's the video if you want to watch.
Brian Kilmeade: We keep marrying other species and other ethnics--

GRETCHEN CARLSON: Are you sure you're not suffering from some of the causes of dementia right now?

Brian Kilmeade: The problem is the Swedes have pure genes. They marry other Swedes, that's the rule. Finns marry other Finns; they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish.

DAVE BRIGGS: This study does not apply?

Brian Kilmeade: Does not apply to us.

[pause]

DAVE BRIGGS: Huh.

I hate to go all Godwin on the thread but sheesh, Brian. Hitler called. He wants his ideas back.

Seriously, other species? What other species are American humans marrying? And pure genes? Yikes.

What the heck are you talking about? Care to cite some specifics?

I presume you're talking about Justice Ginsburg's comments in support of abortion but they're hardly "eugenics-supporting". Murderous? Racist? Her comments were not remotely out of the mainstream on this issue.
