This actress now political contributor to the FOX News boradcast. Has been very vocal since her recent hire on the FOX network. I am not sure if she is overly excited to be working again or if she really hold her views ture. Last night she was asked a simple enough question on the boradcast and this is what she had to say:


With the 2014 midterm elections less than two weeks away, the news media is pushing hard to appeal to their viewing base in an attempt to get out the vote. On Fox News Tuesday night, one comment might have gone too far.



Despite the crisis with ISIS and the fear of a potential Ebola outbreak on the minds of the American people, the economy is still a major issue. Though the economy has made improvements since the financial crisis of 2008, too many people are still struggling to keep their heads above water. One area where Republicans and Democrats don't see eye to eye is on the social safety net. When it comes to social service programs like welfare, food stamps and unemployment befits, Democrats have supported strengthening these programs, while Republicans have pushed to eliminate them or put them in the hands of the private sector.

On the October 14 edition of "Hannity" on Fox News, the discussion of Democrats and social welfare programs dominated the conversation. Host Sean Hannity spoke with Fox News contributor and often fill in host, Stacey Dash. Asked if voting for Barack Obama and the Democrats have helped the minority community, Dash answered with a quick "no, not at all." "It still keeps them stuck. They are getting money for free. They feel worthless. They are uneducated," Dash said of minority neighborhoods. "I mean, as long as you are that way, they (Democrats) can keep you under their control," Dash noted.

Hannity attempted to clarify Dash's remarks and asked her if she felt like the Democratic party created a sense of dependency. Dash responded that Democrats have a "plantation mentality" and think that if they keep giving services and money to low income voters, they won't want to think for themselves.

Stacey Dash, the actress and star of the hit film "Clueless," has been employed by Fox News for less than six months, but this isn't the first time that she has made controversial remarks. Earlier this week, Dash suggested that each city in America set up Ebola "quarantine" centers to hold patients who could be at risk for virus.



OK, I have a question who is the "THEM" Ms, Dash is referring to an if it is the miniority community, I quess she does not identify herself as minority?

Secondly, does she really believe that only miniority people are under educated? and does education the only way people can think for themselves??

Maybe she has never needed a helping hand or maybe the people around her have never needed any kind of assistance. I think she is a pawn in Fox's chess game called ''news''. This is Fox's way of killing two birds with one stone...they get a minority woman to spew ridiculous right wing rhetoric.

Yama, I am not dismissing Stacy right to have her own views regarding any issues but, I do find her dissassociation to being apart of a larger community very destrubing. Her point in this particular issues make her appear as if she view herself in another race all together. Despite whether she thinks of herself as mulity racial, she is still a miniority if not for her gender alone. She comes across as hating her own people, which is very frighting in my way of thinking.

As for Fox News, and their own agenda, I wish Stancy did not come off so off putting as she does. I do not have a crystal ball but I see this woman as hitting a brick wall some where down the line and she will be shocked to see who really has her dark backside!!
