[VIDEO] Gutfeld: Thank You, Rachel Dolezal

By exposing the limits of identity politics, you've revealed the absurdity of those who cling to it

GUTFELD: On MSNBC, whatever that is, Michael Eric Dyson said Rachel Dolezal is blacker than Clarence Thomas. Roll it, Francine.

GUILFOYLE: And you can make that.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: You know those of us who talk about race as a social construct, that it is more complicated. Bill Clinton is the first black president, though, he didn't try to he was black. It means that, she may be not African-American, but she certainly could be black in a cultural sense. She's taken on the ideas, the identities, the struggles, she's identified with them. I bet a lot more black people would support Rachel Dolezal than with supports to Clarence Thomas.

War on Halloween? The Five Rails Against ‘Costume Correctness’

Thanks to Fox News, we know there’s a War on Christmas. And we’re pretty there’s a War on Easter. But what about Halloween? Today on The Five, Eric Bolling kicked off a discussion about an epidemic of “costume correctness” that may just be sweeping the nation this year.

Bolling reported that a medical center in Kentucky is requiring all of their employees to attend a sensitivity training course after someone came to a Halloween party dressed as President Obama in a straight jacket. And, Pottery Barn had to apologize for selling Asian-themed costumes that some found “culturally offensive.”

Dana Perino pointed out that when she was White House press secretary her boss George W. Bush was the most popular mask in America. “It was not a compliment and nobody had to go to diversity training.” None of the hosts could comprehend what was wrong with the Pottery Barn costumes, with Greg Gutfeld saying “it only takes one complaint” to make “skittish” companies apologies.

Perino urged President Obama to come out and say, “Guys, wear whatever you want. Halloween is Halloween.”

Bolling added that it would be even better of Obama made that announcement while wearing a Bush mask.

The Five’s Gutfeld Claims Obama ‘Didn’t Care’ About Obamacare Launch

It’s been 10 days since enrollment began in the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and Fox News’The Five continues to pile on the problems with the law’s rollout. On Thursday’s show, Greg Gutfeld went on a particularly aggressive rant aimed atPresident Obama, who he claimed “didn’t care” enough about his own legislation to see that it was implemented flawlessly. He even suggested that Obama didn’t read the bill before it passed.

After watching video of Obama and his administration officials promising Obamacare would be “ready to go” on October 1st, Gutfeld unleashed his rant:

“You know what kills me about this whole thing? Obama loves to say about everything, ‘We knew it wasn’t going to be easy.’ He says that about everything single thing. Well, guess what? Easy is often a marker of success. When something unfolds, like an Apple launch, it’s because there’s all these people that work really, really hard to make it happen.

He somehow believes that we deserve the punishment of failure. That ‘this is going to hard, never said it was going to be easy, and it’s your problem.’ It shows that he didn’t actually work that hard on this. He never read the bill. He didn’t care.”

Gutfeld’s assertions were not challenged by any of his co-hosts, including the left-leaning Bob Beckel, who previously endorsed the idea to delay aspects of the law at least temporarily if not for a year. Dana Perino hit the administration for promising success and claimed Americans will be fined if they do not have health insurance by December 31st of this year. The actual date is March 31, 2014, but as the AP reported, that means applications will need to be submitted by mid-February.

But it was Andrea Tantaros who wholeheartedly agreed with Gutfeld. “Greg, you’re absolutely right,” she said. “President Obama had his hands off this thing from the beginning. Reid and Pelosi did it. I don’t understand why he doesn’t take the delay of the individual mandate. I’m actually angry that Republicans would offer it. I can’t believe Republicans would give him an out like this.”

The idea that conservatives would suggest that Obama has tried to distance himself from the Affordable Care Act is particularly ironic given the fact that he embraced the term they coined for the law: “Obamacare.”

Michele Bachmann to Fox: ‘We’re Not Interested in a Lecture’ From ‘Professor Obama’

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling on Thursday that she believes the position of Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama is not productive. Bachmann said that it was right of House SpeakerJohn Boehner to send only a small group of Republicans to the White House because the House GOP is “not interested in a lecture” from the president.

“I think John Boehner made exactly the right call,” Bachmann said of the House GOP’s decision to only send a handful of Republican House members to meet with Obama as opposed to the entire conference. “He’s been making a lot of very good calls recently, and one of the calls is that he refused to have 200 Republicans go to the White House where would we all sit through a lecture from, with all due respect, Professor Obama.”

“This is a president whose administration’s position has been, again with all due respect, we’re going to hold our breath until we turn blue,” Bahcmann continued. “That’s not a position.”

Bolling asked Bachmann to react to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who said on Thursday that Republicans in Congress “do not know what they want.”

Bachmann said that the Democratic position has been “hilarious.” She summarized it as, “We win, and then after we win absolutely everything, then you can come over and we’ll talk.”

“That’s an insulting comment to make to the American people,” Bachmann continued. “Now it’s time for the president to actually lead and not be a passive participant and be a part of these talks.”

The Five Diagnoses ‘Problem’ with CNN and MSNBC’s Shooting Coverage

Is the media “sensationalizing” the Washington Navy Yard shooting story? That was question that kicked off Wednesday afternoon’s edition of The Five, with Greg Gutfeld leading the charge to argue that the press should spend more time focusing on the victims of Monday’s mass shooting than on the perpetrator. “Isn’t the sad reality,” Gutfeld asked, that the “culture finds the culprit more interesting than the victim?” Beyond that, the show’s hosts singled out some of the media outlets, including rivals CNN and MSNBC, that made the biggest errors in reporting the story.

On the question of sensationalism, Dana Perino remarked that two days later, many of the major newspapers had moved on, with only one featuring gunman Aaron Alexis on the cover Wednesday. But, she said, “the truth is the good guys, the victims, they never get enough attention, ever. That’s reality.”

The group also discussed the issue of mental health care in light of comments Fox’s Charles Krauthammer about how America’s dedication to civil liberties are keeping people like Alexis out of institutions. Perino warned against a slippery slope when it comes to putting people in mental hospitals against their will. “What if they just say, ‘You’re a right-wing nut and we’re putting you in an institution?’” she asked.

Towards the end of the segment, Gutfeld steered the conversation back to the media’s handling of the story. “A lot of red faces over getting a lot of stuff wrong,” he said, pointing first to the New York Daily News cover that falsely claimed Alexis had used an AR-15 assault rifle in his shooting spree.

But it was Eric Bolling who shined the light on the cable news competitors. “Chuck Todd tweeted the wrong name of the shooter,” he said, in reference to Todd’s retweet of the false NBC News report. “Piers Morgan spent a whole lot of time on air saying ‘There’s that darn AR-15.’” Bolling argued instead that the AR-15 “probably saved lives” when officers arrived on the scene and used the gun to take down Alexis.

“Their haste to be first precedes their interest in being right,” Bolling said, “and that’s a problem.”

“Yeah, you’d rather be second or third and right than first and wrong,” Gutfeld agreed.

Of course, as America learned from Jon Stewart last night, CNN may have been the worst media offender on Monday, but Fox News was not immune.

The Five Agrees That Syrian Rebels Are Moderate: ‘Moderately Psycho’

The Five opened its Thursday afternoon show by looking at recent comments from Obama Administration officials assuring Congress and the American people that the rebel forces in Syria are more “moderate” than they are being portrayed in the media. Greg Gutfeld said Secretary of State John Kerry is “right” that the rebels are moderate. “They’re moderately psycho.”

Gutfeld employed an elaborate reality TV-themed metaphor to get his point across. “We can’t confirm anything about this conflict except that it’s a conflict,” he said. “Essentially it’s like the TV show Storage Wars where you show up and you’re going to buy that locker and you have no idea what’s inside of it.”

Dana Perino, who had her own experience as President George W. Bush’s press secretary trying to sell the idea of war in the Middle East, said she’s “trying to be supportive” of the administration, but is finding that “everything that you read their case seems to unravel a little bit more.”

Next up, Eric Bolling, who said he was told to keep his props at home today, focused in on a “disturbing” video of rebels executing Syrian soldiers, posted by The New York Times, that he says “underscores” that “we don’t know who the rebels are.” He asked, “Are you sure you want to help those people out?”

Bob Beckel was the only member of the panel who was willing to defend the “Free Syrian Army,” which he said condemned the executions by the rebels. He also fought back against Bolling’s characterization of the proposed action in Syria as a war, saying “this is an exercise in humanitarian relief.”
