Fox 19 anchor back on the air after suspension for calling Rachel Maddow an ‘angry young man’ on Facebook
Tricia Macke, an Ohio news anchor for Fox 19, was suspended over disparaging comments she made about the MSNBC host on her personal Facebook page.
A Fox news anchor was back on the air Tuesday night following a 2-day suspension for calling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow an “angry young man” on Facebook.
Tricia Macke, an anchor for Ohio’s Fox 19, took to her personal Facebook page last month to rant against the cable news personality, writing “Rachel Maddow is such an angry young man” on Oct. 12.
She was quickly criticized by her Facebook followers, who compared the comment to making racist jokes.
“I am sorry,” Macke wrote to one such fan. “I should have said antagonistic.”
Commenters then took issue with the fact that the anchor did not acknowledge that her choice of words in calling Maddow a “man” was offensive.
“I knew what I was saying,” Macke responded.
The exchange, which was since removed from her Facebook page, was captured in screengrabs posted by GLAAD, which launched a petition in partnership with Equality Ohio calling on Fox 19 to condemn Macke’s remark.
“Referring to Maddow as a ‘man’ because she is a gay woman is completely unacceptable for someone in the business of journalism,” GLAAD said in a press release last week, putting out a call on Twitter and across the Internet to spread the word.

I’m still waiting for the day when one of the aggrieved parties demands an apology and is either met with silence or a resounding “no.”
Enough already.

Well Madcow DOES look and actlike an angry young man. What’s the problem? Oh…that old political correctness thing.

Sorry, the gays who would be upset with that remark are less than .05 percent of the population. The rest would agree with it. Besides the “operation”, maddow has done everything else to come off as a man and can no longer hide behind her or her fans’ female skirts of faux outrage.
If a woman who wants oak trees destroyed because of her neurosis can be justifiably ridiculed for being a sandwich short of a picnic, then the .05 percent who are trying to normalize their “lifestyle” by waging cultural jihad on the rest of us are no less deserving of our ridicule. And that goes doubly for people who have face implants and operations to make themselves look like cats.

Bad Brad — My guess is they weren’t at odds over the “boy” part of the comment, but the “angry” part. To the peacenic Left, it’s not okay to angry because then you’ve lost control.

Oh come on. She wears man clothes. She has her hair cropped really short and wears glasses that make her look like Buddy holly. For GLAAD to get the vapors over this is moronic. If Maddow would be offended by being called a boy, I think she wouldn’t try so hard to look like one.

She’s a man trapped in a woman’s body who likes women but doesn’t want to be characterized as a man but she dresses like a man with a bit of style and who’s not afraid of his feminine side but dammit she can do anything a crossdressing hermaphrodite eskimo can do and I forgot where I was going…

The description was acurate. Madcow was hot in high school and/or college. She chose to go butch at some point, and now she is a MANcow.

“Referring to Maddow as a ‘man’ because she is a gay woman is …”
No, referring to Maddow as a ‘man’ because MADDOW LOOKS LIKE A DAMN MAN!!!
But, as I’ve always said, there does seem to be something just a little bit effeminate about this Maddow guy.

Bad Brad — yeah, I know. Better get your Hostess Twinkies before they’re made my one of the conglomerates, I guess. I never liked them much, but Twinkies are an American icon and for that I hope the union goons are satisfied. I had a Hostess Snoball recently, though, and it brought back all the memories of junior high. They haven’t changed a thing, except the price.
I wish the unions would bring down Apple so that all the young, hip obama voters could understand the problem.

Notice how the critics fell back to their default ‘racism’ stance? Apparently gheys are a race now, along with musloids. Which really doesn’t bother me, because it’s the first step in recognizing they’re actually a separate species.

Xavier — It would certainly be refreshing if we were overrun with actual space aliens so the term “race” stood in stark contrast to the Left’s use of the word.

@AbigailAdams, unions can’t take down Apple.
There is no slave union. I don’t think unions are allowed in China.
Madcow goes out of her way to look like a man, adams apple and all.

No different than it will be when Mancow finally does get her sex reassignment surgery. The first time someone refers to the now, ahem, ‘him’ as a ‘her’ the left will go all squealy, “Gender bias! Gender bias!”
I don’t know about the racist part. How does that fit in to a joke about someone’s gender? This is getting so ridiculous I’m going to be called a racist if I inadvertently neglect to use my turn signal while driving in front of a person with more skin pigment than me or they happen to be gay.

She should’ve said she’s a mad man with meat flaps. Who the hell cares about her?
Or are her feelings more important than 4 people dieing in an embassy, high unemployment, an economy about to tank, and 60,000 people without food and power more important?
The left is pure batshit crazy.

Oh…I didn’t know she was gay. Before you pounce, just know I don’t have TV and only see Maddow in clips here and there. But I can’t stand her voice and her demeanor, so I rarely watch all the way.
Or maybe my gadar is just defective.

I don’t see where Madcow had anything to say about the whole thing. This was a knee-jerk reaction by the queer mafia and an equally knee-jerk reaction by the Cincinnati TV station worried about its FCC license.
BTW, did the hot blonde just come back from a week in Islamorada or is she related to John Boehner?
