Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly took on the left-wing hate mob that has come after her following a humorous segment that she featured on her program Wednesday evening in which she and her guests staged a mock debate over the racial identity of Santa Claus.
To the haters, Kelly had a message tonight: Lighten up and learn to realize what satire is. “Humor is a part of what we try to bring to this show but sometimes that is lost on the humorless,” she said.
Since the Wednesday segment, an absurd controversy has been swirling around the newly minted primetime host in which Foxophobic television and internet outlets seemed unable (or unwilling) to comprehend that the entire segment, which began with a satirical disclaimer to “kids at home” that Santa was white and did exist, was not to be taken seriously.
After playing several clips of various television shows reacting to her remarks, Kelly commented further on the response: “This would be funny if it were not so telling about our society. In particular, the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race bait and to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News channel.”
Indeed. As we noted yesterday, it seems that many leftists in this country seem to be psychologically disturbed that there is one television channel which is not controlled by Democratic partisans and therefore they seek to turn even the tiniest molehills into mountains when it comes to Fox News. The entire segment was a joke and for people to pretend otherwise speaks negatively of their intelligence or their honesty.

In the bigger picture, Kelly took over the prime time slot and is being very effective, apparently because the Left is attacking her. She is being Alinskied.
Good grief, look at those wild-eyed lunatics.
“Jews however are indeed considered ‘White’ as far as I know.”
Goddamned right we are!!!
“I watching something on the history channel... Not quite as idiotic as all the alien and ghost shows that infest that channel but still pretty bad.”
History Channel has jumped the shark. It used to be quality, now, it’s a tattooed tart with herpes.
Reminds me of Peter Griffin when he first saw his favorite “Fox Babe” in Hi Def. I’ve read it takes a lot of makeup to cover Megyn’s freckles.
Reminds me of a left wind comedian who was talking about Easter. People will yell “Jesus is back! Quick, hide all the eggs!”
When did you become a Jew ?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
So you converted for the jokes ?
I converted to justify my circumcision.
You’re not keeping the Sabbath, buddy.
Italian Jews have special rules.
Uh, huh.
Yep. We can eat pork and cheeseburgers.

The character is a god. He flies through the air. He performs miracles (visiting all the good children on Earth on one night). He is omniscient (with respect to children’s activities). Some people even encourage their children to pray to him (Tell Santa what you want).
And what is his motive? I ask you.
