A Fox And Friends Thanksgiving: Kilmeade On "The Good Indians"

In just a few short days, America will observe Thanksgiving, a celebration of the most successful border incursion by illegal immigrants in the history of North America, where pilgrims from fancy-pants Europe came to America to perform all of the work that the Native Americans weren't willing to do, like give each other smallpox and kill off their own culture. It's a day for Americans to gather, typically on the New Jersey Turnpike, and give an annual boost to all the people who foolishly thought they'd get rich making cranberry sauce.

By and large, this is a holiday that most Americans seem to have down, but Fox and Friends' Brian Kilmeade still doesn't think we know the true meaning of Thansgiving - and so he took to the airwaves today to tell the world about how the Pilgrims signed a "peace agreement" with "his favorite Indians." He seems to think that those Indians were something called the "Okawi" (they weren't: they were Wampanoag, also known as Patuxet), but that's beside the point. They were "the good Indians," Kilmeade says.

Yes. That's right. The "good" Indians. Wonder what they're thankful for this holiday season?

Boy oh boy. Silly white boys.

Come visit with human beings:

http://www.aic-chicago.org/

All Native American/Indigenous/First Nation Peoples are good.

And at the American Indian Center"s 54th Annual Powwow, there were really good dances: Traditional, Fancy, Grass, Jingle and Intertribal dances. Many, many people speaking Original Peoples' languages.

In fact, they have been providing Homeland Security Services against foreign terrorists since 1492, eh?

I think that more people need to visit with us human beings so we can help you understand that all peoples are Good Peoples.

Ugh.

He was thinking of the "Heckarewe" Indians which were featured on the TV Show "F" Troop. They got their name because they supposedly got lost, and then the chief said: "Where the Heck are we?"

I think most Americans should see how much modrenisation has been promoted in Northen European Tribal life ....... Technology is freedom for tribes ....

It's all about survival of the fittest as it always has been and always will be. The Indian tribes the Europeans encountered had already survived by exterminating hundreds of tribes that were here before them. They have already proven that European blood was in Virginia at least 5000 years ago. Kennewick Man found in Washington state; a caucasian man. Unfortunately this find was covered up by the Clinton administration working with Indian tribes. They destroyed the site and buried everything in new plantings of trees. It's the same the world over, North America has been no different. Just study ancient history, thousands of tribes come and go, for some of them, their culture remains reasonably intact and for others, it disappears. The Europeans have actually been very generous considering they could have completely exterminated the peoples they found here but decided to let them live.

32 years ago i went on my honeymoon to Denver Co. We stopped and saw my uncle who lived there at the time. My wife who was hispanic and i stopped for gas right outside a reservation before getting to mexican hat. We went into the store and i could tell right away that we were not welcome. I guess she looking some what indian did not go over to well. I paid for the gas and as i left i heard the tinkle of beer cans. I looked in the rear view mirror and 2 or 3 locals were throwing them at us. Hmmmmmmm.

I went to university with Ms Carlson. She's dumber now and seems to be getting dumber by the day. Maybe that's what Fox News' purpose is, to dumb everyone down.
"Good Indians." I bet Wampanoag would be thankful if they still had a country or a society even. Hard to be thankful, though, when you have been wiped out in a genocide.

Hey, lay off the dude, be more like Jesus the lord of god himself and forgive him. Do you liberalites think it was just a coincedense that Christain people discovered America and estableshed religion where none existed before at all?

We teached the indians about history and to write and how to grow crops so they wouldn't all die that first Thanksgiving long long ago.

If that had had happened,it would have been a tragety, as in greek tragety, for sure.

You libberals forget that we took a empty land and made it the best place the rest of the world what never seen before.

And if it weren't for the George Washington and the other Christain leaders we'd all still be talking like the english people over in eurupe and they woun't be any america at all.

I guess the bad Indians were the ones who put up a fight against a genocidal campaign to exterminate them.

According to Fox News, the "good Indians" were the ones who just died quickly witout making too much of a fuss about it.

The racist, sexist, homophobic banter that passes for commentary on Fox News would make a klansmen proud.

Someone on here said that native people like the term "Indian"--maybe that is true for some but not all if what the person said is correct.
The native folks I have dealt with---and I have some familial native connections by marriage along with friends and they tell me they sure as hell don't care for the term "indian"----they pretty much consider it comparable to the way Blacks feel about the "N Word"--they don't care much for Native American either--that is why I said "native peoples" in my previous post.
They also like the term "first peoples" too--when being referred to as a group--
The term "Indian" is a cultural insult--like when people of Eurpeaon descent say that they "discovered" this land---by the time the first Eurpoeans had arrived--native peoples had been living in this hemisphere for many thousands of years and had a vibrant, thriving society made up of many tribal groups and peoples with trade among them spreading from the Arctic to the tip of South America and from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans--they did not need to be "discovered," "civilized" or any of the other things that white/euro culture forced upon them.
Life was not a nirvana in their world--but it was better for them in the times before being "discovered" than it was afterwards.

We Europeans just came here for the jobs the Indians wouldn't do.

It is quite interesting to see so many people commenting here, people who have lost their souls, people who have no lives, no friends and see nothing good in the world. So they post comments filled with bad information, reveal themselves as ugly little animals without any dignity or value to society. The kings and queens of toilet paper morality.

Indians are still here. We have survived and will continue to survive the lies and cowardice of the people like many of those who have commented here. Almost all of you reveal that you know nothing, but somehow feel entitled to an opinion about the nothing you know, based upon the nothing that is obviously the content of your unhappy lives. Naturally, there are a few of you with some dignity and insight, so I am not speaking to you.

The Indian issue always brings cockroaches with vocabularies out into the light. It is like a reflex. This is a steadfastly racist culture, this American Culture. There are many of you commenting here that have obviously been damaged by life and you mistake the damage inside your souls as intelligence when in reality it is just the overflowing toilet that has become the mind of so many Americans.

It has failed to surprise the Indians that Americans who know so little about life, less about history, always overflow themselves with self-hatred when the question of the Indian history comes up. Good work. The life you see before you right now is your reward.

White men at it again...forked tongue and all.


That black and white picture of the Native Americans is heart wrenching...reminds me of "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"; I've never been so moved by the collective persecution of a people...almost as heart wrenching is James Agee's "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men".

I like the reference to the Hekawi Indians. The dopey blond thought the other idiot was reciting a historic fact when in fact he was referring to Agarn and O'Rourke's Indian business partners on F Troop.

Drop the immigration crap. The europeans played by the rules of the indians, If someone has what you want you take it, by whatever means you can. There were no boundries clearly marked or mappped out, and if for whatever reason you needed more territory you took it. Do not expect me to cry for the indians, as I for one bear no responsibility for what happened centuries before I was born. You either conquer the invaders, assimilate them, adapt to their ways or perish. History has myriad peoples that failed to do any of those things and have disappeared. Remember when it became possible the indians themselves wipe-out their rivals. Drop the "Lo the poor indian" garbage.
