1. Well, we knew that was going to happen, didn't we?
Some brain-dead asshole complaining that the deserving white person lost out to an unqualified person with brown skin and the wrong religion. :eyes:

You know, you never, EVER, hear the phrase "unqualified white person" in these arguments.

23. You my new best friend.

I know a lot of unqualified white people. We call them good ole boys and they have a way of life they want to protect. They're easy to spot because they're usually wrapped in an American flag.

25. I agree. So many of them think simply being white is enough to qualify them for anything
worth competing for.

The only time I'm ever tempted to burn the American flag is when one of these troglodytes wraps himself in it...

27. It's as if their color provides them with teflon coating against criticism.
"My reputation which I've spent my life establishing has been impugned!" Never mind that everything you caught them doing is as unethical as hell. You're expected to play the game and sit down, shut up like a good little girl.

2. Carlson will probably have the Oklahoma runner-up on TV
this week for a Pre-jean-like post-loss pity-party performance....fair and balanced of course.

9. Miss America 2010 is Caressa Cameron, a black woman.

White nationalism is 0-2 this year when it comes to pageants.

Oh well, I guess there is always "Miss NASCAR".

7. She is certainly charismatic.
She probably won because Trump decided she was the one he wanted representing his "Miss USA" product, both because of her natural charisma and her attention-grabbing backstory.

I like her. She seems down-to-earth, genuine and hard-working. I think she represents the US well, even though I don't believe that the concept of "Miss USA" itself does, if that makes any sense.

possible plastic surgery or too many face lifts.

I clicked on MSNBC.COM, the front picture showed burning cars in Bangkok and right next to it, was the picture of the new Miss USA.

And what do the talking heads freak out about? Miss USA.

I get tired of the "look at the shiny thing" type of reporting that passes for tv journalism in this nation.

18. Waaaah
OK, to the European americans out there, I realize Fox does not represent most of you (especially on this website.) However, why the H-ll is it that anytime anyone with a bit of skin pigment beats out a white candidate, the winner is always somehow less qualified? Poor losers.

21. A "PC society" -- what, Mac users would have voted for the runner up?
;-)

Hey, it's Faux News -- racism should be expected. And the right's misuse of the term "PC" will never end.

29. I thought Miss America got shuttled to some cable network vs. not televised altogether
Although, I don't follow the pagaents so it's possible that Miss America is w/out a current TV contract.

That said, if Trump didn't have a show on broadcast TV I doubt that the Miss USA contest would be on anything other than cable as well.

31. I don't know I don't follow pageants.
I just saw the clip of Ivanka Trump vs Gretchen the other day, I thought she said Miss America wasn't televised, but she could have said it's on some cable channel.

Miss America is more about scholarships (supposedly) and I think the big difference is Miss America has the talent portion, while Miss USA doesn't.

I haven't paid much attention to pageants in many years. I used to date a woman that competed in pageants, not the scholarship ones, but like Miss Petite Intl and the Hawaiian Tropics. It's an interesting world to say the least.

32. Miss OK should learn from Sarah Palin that ugliness never wins a crown.
As my grandma used to say, "God doesn't like ugly and he sure doesn't like pretty either."

I pray that this woman never goes into politics. We cannot have another Palin. The media has already made a monster out of the Tea Queen.

33. If I had a vote, based upon their answers I'd vote for Miss Michigan
The Q and A is supposed to show their intelligence, I think their respective answers clearly show which contestant is the critical thinker.

Again, Faux and the RW showing their bias against intelligence.
