    Bolling apologized .....and of course the righties on "The Five" "forgave and forgot".

    Naturally if Boling had been a Democrat...they wouldn't.

    Fo卐 network - sexist beyond belief.


    Imagine if that had been MSNBC or CNN - the right wingers would be all over it while self righteously praising themselves.

    See above. Bolling went back on "The Five" to apologize....and the Cons gave him a pass.

    And if John Stewart engaged in the same satire or jokes? And it's poking the eyes of the Sharia/Jihadist that it is "boobs on the ground defeating them", more boobs! How about an entire flight of boobs knocking out their C&C headquarters!!

    Gutfield is there to be "cutting edge", I'd like to see the next time that pilot is over here for training she challenge him to a ride so he can watch her "park it". And I BET he'd go for it and let himself be abused for the humor in it.

    This same co-anchor went on about the president not showing respect to military by saluting wrong a few minutes before.

    The hypocrisy is palpable.

    You are all (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s for making me agree with partisan leftists. I am ashamed of you. That is all.

    Obama was making a joke?

    And the Obama salute thing was a non-issue in fact the tradition which Reagan started should be stopped unless the President served in the military him/herself s and even then they are not in uniform so it is not appropriate. Civilian presidents should just acknowledge it. There was nothing more absurd than Clinton and Obama returning salutes.

    Who cares which network the comment was on? All of the major ones have a history of misogynistic comments.

    As far as I can tell, ignorance is common on both sides of the political spectrum.

    And no, for the record, it wasn't funny.

    Every other right winger has also given him a pass. Now imagine if he had been a Dem and the outcries you would have heard ....

    What the popular and well regarded Mrs Schultz does is irrelevant to this topic.

    Not being a member of that party I am hardly qualified to answer for them.

    Here is their website:

    You may direct any inquiries to them there.

    http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/09/29/veterans-condemn-fox-host-eric-bollings-boobs-o/200927


    Military veterans are speaking out against Fox News host Eric Bolling's reference to the first female UAE fighter pilot as "boobs on the ground."

    Bolling provoked widespread outrage after he responded to news that United Arab Emirates' first female air force pilot was participating in air strikes against Islamic State militants by asking: "Would that be considered boobs on the ground, or no?" His remarks came during the September 24 edition of Fox News' The Five, in response to co-host Greg Gutfeld's joke, "The problem is, after she bombed it, she couldn't park it." Bolling has since apologized twice for his offensive comment.

    U.S. military veterans from the Truman National Security Project have released an open letter condemning Bolling and Gutfeld for their "immensely inappropriate" remarks, which the veterans called "unwarranted, offensive, and fundamentally opposed to what the military taught us to stand for." More from the letter, via Talking Points Memo:

    First, foremost, and most obvious to everyone other than yourselves, your remarks were immensely inappropriate. Your co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle was so right to call attention to an inspiring story of a woman shattering glass ceilings in a society where doing so is immeasurably difficult. We never heard an answer to her question: why did you feel so compelled to "ruin her thing?"

    As it turns out, women have been flying combat aircraft since before either of you were born.Over 1,000 Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) flew during World War II. Seeing as U.S. Army Air Forces Commander "Hap" Arnold said "Now in 1944, it is on the record that women can fly as well as men," we can probably guess he thought their parking was adequate. The WASP legacy reaches into the present day; on 9/11, then Lt. Heather "Lucky" Penney scrambled her F-16. Completely unarmed, she was ready to lay down her own life to prevent further devastating attacks on American soil.

    Thus the skill of women as fighter pilots is well established. And before you jump to the standby excuse that you were "just making a joke" or "having a laugh," let the men amongst our number preemptively respond: You are not funny. You are not clever. And you are not excused. Perhaps the phrase "boys will be boys"--inevitably uttered wherever misogyny is present--is relevant. Men would never insult and demean a fellow service member; boys think saying the word 'boobs' is funny.

    The less obvious implication of your remarks, however, is that by offending an ally and cheapening her contribution, you are actively hurting the mission. We need to send a clear message that anyone, male or female, who will stand up to ISIS and get the job done is worthy of our respect and gratitude.

    We issue an apology on your behalf to Major Al Mansouri knowing that anything your producers force you to say will be contrived and insincere. Major, we're sincerely sorry for the rudeness; clearly, these boys don't take your service seriously, but we and the rest of the American public do.






    The great Fo卐 network.

    Libs get their panties in a twist.

    Libs get all self righteous.

    How convenient to do so after all the outcry from veterans and others.

    Right wing self righteousness always apologizes but only after they reveal themselves to be sexists but, somehow, they still pretend that it's the Dems who are waging a war on women.
