This is going to send the left into a rabid froth. They hate her because she is steadfastly anti-abortion, and otherwise “old school civil rights”, not like the current batch of race pimps and charlatans.
She is also not a wholly-owned property of the radical left, so she is their enemy, them hating what they do not control.
I love her!!! Such a beautifully spoken woman...she is a great asset!
Yay! I love Dr. Alveda. She is 1000% pro-life.
She is the one the young black women should be listening to, if they want R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!
Good for Dr King...and good for Fox!
Hey! Anyone seen or heard of Beckel lately? Did he finally mouth off too much?
I think Beckel is ill...some kind of back problem???
Or maybe he fell off the wagon.
Yeah look forward to seeing Dr. King it will be like a breath of fresh air!
I was just thinking the same thing last night about Bob. Although I never agree with him, I like him.
Did you sese Kim lay that Kiss on bob on new years eve? What was up with that?
The news has been so bad lately. Its nice to talk about something like goodness.......
Good move, Fox. A very sweet and gentle woman.
One person I very much miss on Fox is Michelle Malkin. I’ve wondered what happened to her. She was good.
Maybe now Ailes & her can get the FBI to open their files on her dad in regards to his communist funding?
Well said!
Maybe.
I’ve wondered about Michelle Malkin, too. Where is she?
I know she still has her blog....
...but, even that doesn’t seem as “on fire” as it used to be. Hope all is well with her.
I think Malkin has been put on the back burner because she vehemently opposed to Amnesty and Jeb is being pushed by FNC.
Something/someone is definitely keeping her out of the spotlight, at FoxNews.
I’d take her commentary, over Tokyo Rove’s, any day.
I hope all is well with her, too. Perhaps she’s just taking it a little bit easier than usual to spend more time with her family. Her and Laura Ingraham are the two ladies I would tune in to see.
Yes, twitchy is Michelle’s site, but it’s mostly her staff posting tweets from twitterdom. Unfortunately, it doesn’t showcase MM’s great commentary :(
Absolutely. Michelle is a spitfire!
Yes, she seems to have slowed down a lot since moving to Colorado and leaving hotair. Fox must be giving her face time to libs.
