A few days ago there was a video clip making the rounds of some blonde Fox News garden knome calling the patriotism of gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas into question because she didn’t wear red, white and blue while performing. The same dipshit was joined by an equally dipshitty guest and, as they see it, a 16 year-old girl wearing pink while tumbling is evidence of “soft anti-Americanism.”
If that weren’t enough, these two sh*t stains also questioned why more of the crowds at the Olympics aren’t chanting “U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A” incessantly at the London games. Perhaps it has something to do with, I don’t know, the fact that the games are being held in London and not in, say, Amurka?
Anyway, it took every ounce of restraint I could muster not to go off on these two clowns in a post. Thankfully, Colbert gave them the public shaming they so obviously deserved last night. Enjoy.

Yes, yes, our Olympic athletes are ashamed of the idea of American exceptionalism — which is why they’ve devoted their lives to being the best they can be, representing this country, and competing head-to-head against the representatives of other nations.
Christ, does anyone else remember when conservatives weren’t such a bunch of pants-pissing crybabies?
Whoa whoa whoa, not to defend Retard Fox News Lady and her ridiculous whining about the color of a gold medalist’s garments, but are you suggesting that all Olympic athletes, by virtue of their existence, could not possibly be ashamed at the idea of American exceptionalism? That seems rather retarded in its own right.
“are you suggesting that all Olympic athletes, by virtue of their existence, could not possibly be ashamed at the idea of American exceptionalism?” No shitstain, he didn’t say ALL Olympic athletes, just the American ones.
“it took every ounce of restraint I could muster not to go off on these two clowns in a post.”
What a coincidence! It took every ounce of restraint I could muster to not go off on the humorless vitriol that preemptively buzz-killed another excellent Colbert clip!
Oh hey go fuck yourself.
Sure, no problem! I’m probably the only Uproxx reader who gets annoyed at the Talking Points Memo posts, anyway. Perhaps fucking myself is best.
The FUCK? “Talking Points Memo posts” What kind of crap is that? He’s calling out extreme idiocy; what the hell “Talking Points Memo posts” is that?
Granted the post is not that funny. Cajun; step up on your insults.
Well, nothing written on here is actually funny, but there is no need to be throwing insults on either side….oh, wait….I mean, USA! USA!
I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again, why in the world is FOX news still being taken seriously by ANYONE and WHY in the world would ANYONE watch such useless garbage? I never see anything newsworthy on their programming and when I do it’s so coated in their conservative, heavely biased fueled filth that I literally want to gag when I see these empty headed “reporters” attempt to utter anything of relevance or importance. Instead, this kind of reporting is what people watch and somehow ACTUALLY TAKE AS RELEVANT NEWS. Get over yourself Fox News, everyone hates you. One more thing, Bill O’ Reily can suck it….that is all.
Henrik Rummel must be having a hard time with all this attention. Da-da ching
In America, we can wear whatever we want and chant what we want.
“Gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas is not the right hue to be a gold medal gymnast.”

Politically speaking, I certainly lean a little more right than left, but Fox News is just the fucking worst. If this woman is going to “report” on some shit like this, at least wear a low cut blouse and show a little cleavage. Go ahead and go full on ‘Merica white trashy style. And when did putting several dispshits at a table and have them yell at each other quantify as news coverage? Fox News is awful.
