Megyn Kelly Is Fired Up Over Obama’s Praise For Michael Vick’s ‘Second Chance’

Video
» 157 comments

President Obama‘s praise for convicted dog-murderer Michael Vick receiving a second chance really fired up Megyn Kelly earlier today on Fox News. In a debate with Bernadette Pauley, animal rights activist and Dr. R.L. White, President of the NAACP in Atlanta (where Vick previously played football), Kelly wondered whether this was an overblown story or whether the President truly was wrong for picking Vick’s second chance as worthy of praise.

To Kelly’s credit, she gave voice to both sides of the issue, however, her passion was demonstrably in favor of thinking Vick should never again be in the position to warrant any praise from the President’s large megaphone. Describing every despicable act Vick committed, Kelly sternly said his “torture and murder of dogs, including electrocuting them, drowning them, hanging them, and in at least one case, brutally beating them” should have been enough to suggest to Obama he find someone else to praise for receiving a second chance.

White thought that since Vick already served his punishment for the crime, ultimately there was nothing wrong with praising someone’s opportunity for redemption. Pauley however bemoaned the fact that “sports stars and celebrities can get away with anything and they’re always going to be glorified no matter what type of human beings they are.”

Kelly summed up her disgust with Vick’s “systematic torture” of dogs and wondered if the same criminal treated humans this way whether that eventually redeemed criminal would ever be worthy of the President praising their second chance?

    I’m not sure why Obama decided to comment on this but he should have kept his mouth shut.This is a story and subject matter that brings out strong passions in people.No one knows what Vick really thinks or feels except Vick.Yes he served his time but did he change?We don’t know.Does he deserve praise?It’s unclear and can’t be truely determined.Did he deserve praise over others?I would think there are other people out there who commited worse crimes and have changed their lives for the better.

    Harming animals is a red flag for a number of personality issues.Just because Vick went to prison doesn’t mean he really changed.

    Come on, even you libs have to question Obama’s judgement regarding who he chooses to praise and condemn. He condemns the MA police, but praises the return of VIck. He condemns the killing of Muslims (which he should), but is silent on the slaughter of Christians in the middle east. He praises Reverend Wright, but condemns those American’s who happen to disagree with his policies. He just has strange priorities.

  • lazzzlo

    yep

  • lazzzlo

    ok my quote didn’t work.

    Mike Vick is an incredible athlete. I love him for fantasy football. He may actually help 1 of my teams win.

    Why the Prez thinks he is ok to own a dog is secondary to me.

    however, I don’t think mr vick should own any dogs quite yet.

    On Chris Matthews, Harball, Clarence Page said Obama was much too busy to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. Matthews called out for Obama to release it and even showed a copy of a lomg form birth certificate issued 1 day before Obama was born.

    It’s strange that Obama has time to comment about Vick, play golf and basketball, but doesn’t have time to release the bc. It’s also very strange that all of his records, including college/university, are sealed and hidden.

    Obama’s first Political Prisoner, Lt. Col. Lakin, a flight-surgeon, is serving time in prison for refusing to deploy until Obama proved his eligibility. McCain revealed his bc and Congress declared him eligible. It’s strange that they did not declare Obama eligible.

  • lazzzlo

    But he apparently can and if so, that is his right.

  • barryal

    This is a perfect example of how America has changed from its foundation as a country where second chances are the norm to a country of bigots who will use anything to set them selves on a higher shelf.

    What Vick has done is very, very noteworthy. The very same people who have been denigrating Vick are also the praising people who looked for and found the flimsiest of reasons to invading not one, but two countries for no other reason than simple greed.

    Vick killed dogs and as much as everyone wants to say life is so precious, the people believe in the death penalty, abortion, war and a number of other ventures where killing is part and partial to accomplishing a goal.

    Vick was found guilty of his crime, served the time required and has NOT indulged in those activities. In fact, he has gone out of his way to let other people KNOW that he understands that what he did was wrong and should not be done by anyone. In addition, he has refrained from being active in the lifestyle where that behavior is accepted. In addition of that, he has going about showing that he has what it takes to overcome the stigma of being a looser.

    Those who persist in denigrating Vick have the need to elevate themselves to a level about the low level that currently live at. Unfortunately, they demonstrate that they are no more above bigots than they were before Vick’s escapades became public.

    Everyone makes BIG mistakes in their lives. Very few appreciate being kept on the hook. They want and need that ‘second chance.’ They just don’t others to have it.

  • http://reddit.com Jon

    I cringe when I remember what Vick did.. but if he’s honestly learned his lesson, then I have no problem giving the guy a second chance.

    I also wonder if this is some sort of subliminal Obama marketing to give Obama a second chance. I mean, if you’re giving the dog-murderer another chance, maybe you’ll give the job-muderer one.

    I don’t think he’s a job-murderer.. but I go where the jokes tell me. >:D

    Barryal,
    This isn’t really about Vick. I agree that he deserves a second chance, and hope he is sincere in his remorse. This story is about the things Obama chooses to comment on. He’s silent on the wisdom of the Ground Zero mosque, but feels compelled to praise Vick. It’s Obama’s priorites that are the story, not Vick.

    Good for Megyn!

    Not a coincidence that the two biggest supporters of Michael Vick’s “second chance” are black.

    “Pauley however bemoaned the fact that ‘sports stars and celebrities can get away with anything and they’re always going to be glorified no matter what type of human beings they are.’ ”

    Unfortunately, Pauley is correct, celebrities always seem to get excuses for any crime they commit, no matter what it is, whereas, an average citizen would be held to different standards. They always get off by becoming so-called “spokesmen” against their crimes.

    Even according to White, Vick is only being a “spokesman” in an attempt to save his career and rebuild his reputation.

    @Seeing 2012 From My Window, “He just has strange priorities.”

    Obama’s priorities are chosen by color.

    Let’s not forget that Vick didn’t choose to stop torturing these animals on his own, he got caught.

    I have to agree with you but, only to a point. I think what Vick did is terrible in every snese of the word. But, he did his time so we have to assume he has changed until he reoffends (my money is that he won’t).

    I worked with a guy not long ago who did some time in jail for a felony and really has turned his life around since then. He is gong to nursing school and trying to get the offense expunged from his record but is having a very hard time and, the offense might stick forever.

    Granted, some people are hopeless and can never change their criminal behavior no matter what society does. This does not mean however, that Vick desrves a life sentence for what he has done. Whether or not he is a role model is up for debate but he does deserve a second chance because that is how our system was designed.

    I do find it odd that obama would chose to comment on this when he should have just kept his mouth shut. I think Vick deserves a second chance but, I am not the president and everything I say is not analyzed by everyone and their brother. Obama needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut but I doubt that is possible, as he puts his foot in there every chance he gets.

    Also, stating that the Eagles made a wise chioice hiring Vick is not a very nobel thing to do now that he has proven himself. Obama should have said something when they first hired him if he wanted to be bold. This was not only stupid of him, it was safe, predictable, and typical Obama.

    Poor Kelly – It’s going to be her turn to learn about the hysterical retribution from the lunatic-left:

    Achtung! The NEW POLITICAL ORDER IS HERE!

    Anyone who criticizes TheOne, our beloved Messiah, OR ANY OF HIS ACTIONS, DECREES, POLICIES OR PALS will be condemned. They will be ostracized from society, they will be labeled a threat to national security, they will be attacked and smeared using MILLIONS from lunatic-left extremist soros, they will be called “unpatriotic”, “un-American”, “a terrorist”,”destructive” and “a racist”, they will have to actually pay taxes (unlike lunatic-left socialist tax-cheats rangel, geithner, caroline “you know” kennedy, olbermann, kerry, daschle, killifer, solis, kirk, sebelius and millions of others) and they will be vilified until they succumb to the ONLY ACCEPTABLE POLITICAL VIEW – that of the lunatic-left socialists.

    Vick was a multimillionaire who killed and tortured the trusting of animals for pleasure and profit.

    He didn’t stop until he got caught.

    Even if he weren’t allowed to play pro-football again (in the US), he’d still be a multi-millionaire. He’s not some 18-year-old kid who made one mistake on one night. This “second chance” sounds silly.

    Throwing a football and dogfighting is all this asshole can do. What’s he supposed to say? I don’t regret forcing dogs to tear each other apart for my amusement and enrichment?

    P.S. It’s funny, Obama was much less forgiving of Don Imus for uttering the phrase “nappy-headed ho’s”. Even after Imus apologized–and to an embarrasing extent, in my opinion–Obama still thought he deserved to be fired.

    You ever read Crime and Punishment? What am I saying. Of course, you haven’t. You have no idea what the word “redemption” means. Vick committed a terrible crime and his punishment was little more than a speed-bump on the long road of his sweet life. Other than his own self-serving words, what evidence do you have that he has been redeemed? I’ll bet he hasn’t lost a single night of sleep over what he did to those dogs.

    I don’t think Vick is sorry about what he did as much as he is sorry he got caught. He consistently lied about his involvement until he figured he couldn’t get away with the lies anymore. He received a lighter sentence by naming his co-conspirators. He hid money before he went to prison and is still hiding the money instead of coming clean about what he did. He said he thinks he should be named MVP. As much as I’m not a fan of Tom Brady he has too much class to suggest that he should be named MVP. He wants to own a dog again!? It just seems less like he knows that he did a bad thing and more like he has somewhat figured out what to do to give the appearance of being reformed.

    You’re right. Once any issue is cast in racial terms, the lines draw themselves. This is the strategy the left uses to tricl hispanics to vote Democrat. If the media/Dem’s can convince hispanics that anti-illegal immigration sentiment is motivated by anti-hispanic racism, then they know that they’ve created yet another aggrieved ethnic interest group in their pocket. The tough part for the Dem’s is not to overplay their hand and illicit a large backlash amongst whites (who know what their up to) before they’ve ensured a permanent lock on all national offices. Boy, what a paradise that’s going to be.

    The problem with most white liberals is that they are too weak to assert anything approaching moral authority in any case that would find them adverse to what they deem to be any area of black moral authority. And the best example here is simply white racism. The attitude of most white liberals is absolute abject deference to the opinion of blacks.

All humans need an extra chance or two all of us! That’s the fact! I have been to a pit bull farm were dogs were trained just to kill and breed that’s it. The dogs there live on a chain with a hut in the center. They eat and fight every day. The more they train the more calluses thicken on their scared heads. The dogs that just want to be given a pet on the back are the ones that are used to get ripped up and used as doggie bite dummies. Goats’ throats are cut and then are cooked for the fest and the goats’ blood is a scent that gets the dogs in a wild state before they are fought. Look none of these dogs that live in a place like that can be introduced back in houses to a real dog owners because they are ruined they all need to be put down. These animals need our sympathy because it is still happening today. People in NY are mostly liberals just have to dodge a poop pile or two what the fuck do they know right!

    I used to be very far left. My father was a marxist historian who earned his PhD while I was in elementary school. Also, I was born in Oakland, California (not exactly famous for it’s limited number of blacks) and attended multi-racial schools where I played sports (baseball and football) with many blacks.

    Why is it important to you what Obama thinks of OJ Simpson? Isn’t this just the racist horse you right wingers always ride on? Citizens do not determine any person’s guilt or innocence. A jury does. This is the USA, not Iran. Everyone else is entitled to their opinion. Actually, most people in the black community supported OJ’s acquittal. That, however, should not be conflated with the presumption that they believed in his innocence.

    Jeeezzuuss keerrist!! If Obama hung his toilet paper one of the two ways avaialble Megyn Kelly would become indignant and insist the other method was the only proper way to hang toilet paper. Who give a rat’s ass about what Megyn Kelly says other than Megyn Kelly?

    Do bulls have a choice when they go to the slaughter house? What? Isn’t it the CA CONSERVATIVE who brings RACE into the issue? What a surprise. Your premise is also flawed. Obama has 90% approval with blacks. Why would he need to pander more towards them? That makes no sense. You would have been on point if your prejudiced self didn’t look at everything through a racial lens. perhaps say he’s trying to appeal to PA voters, a likely swing state in 2012. Why is it important to you what Obama thinks of OJ Simpson? Isn’t this just the racist horse you right wingers always ride on? Citizens do not determine any person’s guilt or innocence. A jury does. This is the USA, not Iran. Everyone else is entitled to their opinion. Actually, most people in the black community supported OJ’s acquittal. That, however, should not be conflated with the presumption that they believed in his innocence.

    That’s my thought as well. That most black people supported OJ’s acquittal, despite their belief in his guilt. I was just curious as to why the media wouldn’t think to ask the very first black president what his thoughts were on that most profound of cultural dividing lines. Oh, and because I’m a racist. However, I would never support the freeing of a white person for killing a black person if I thought he actually committed the murder. That’s the difference between a white racist and the majority of black non-racists. Now go ahead and tell me I’m ignorant of history etc.

    Oh, and just to make it clear for you: My point was that the media functions basically as Obama’s very own PR firm. They protect him from any issue that might hurt him. And they have since the Iowa primary. Just ask honest Hillary supporters.

    Sure Fox News drums shit up. This was probably nothing more than Obama making pleasant small talk with a guy, little more than an aside in a larger conversation. But don’t think for one second MSNBC or any other leftist media is any different.

    @Gasket, “Do bulls have a choice when they go to the slaughter house?”

    No, and that is why I am a vegetarian.

    With all the troubles riddling our country, Mr. Obama, I ask you, how is praising a cold-hearted KILLER – someone who is capable of killing and mutilating animals by beating,hanging,drowning as well as ELECTROCUTION something that should ever be on your radar screen? HOW, with everything that is going on here and in the world and that needs to be attended to/sorted out,does this in any way merit your time, support or even commentary? I don’t give a rats a## about Vick’s comeback – in fact, I find it disgusting, as should you. This is not giving a fellon a chance…….how many fellons come out of prison from HIDEOUS crimes to be welcomed back to a multi-million dollar carreer? The fact that you would go out on a limb on this does not speak well of your true character.I’m appalled and will no longer give you the benefit of the doubt. Wonder what the back-peddal is going to look like, because you made a very BAD choice here……..

    This story is basically a story of redemption. Whether you want to get it or not, Obama is trying to teach the hard-hearted ‘conservative’ Americans that redemption is not only a possibility but a necessity. We Americans, especially the rightwingers have lost our way and become a nation of greedy, selfish, self-seeking people interested only in our most immediate needs. We certainly are no longer practicing anything remotely like genuine Christian or Jewish charity. We make war unnessarily on other people, we won’t take care our own people in need, and we glorify and elevate the rich. On top of that we’ve become alienated from the rest of the world who think we are going insane and losing control of the qualities that have made us a great nation. They’re probably right and maybe it’s time we got off this negative binge before we’re beyond redemption. If Vick can do it we can do it.

    Gosh! You’re making me blush.

    I was pissed for a few seconds after reading you first comment where I wasn’t included…then I read this one.

    Thanks and back at ya’

    There’s something wrong with Obama’s mind, his values are screwed up, honestly I believe he’s mentally ill for making a crazy comment like this. Of all the people who’ve been in prison, Michael Vick is one that did not deserve a second chance. First off he was a million dollar football player when he committed his crimes of beating and killing innocent dogs. It wasn’t like Vick fought dogs to support his family, he did it out of plain old meanness and fun. Second the nature of his crime was violence against a helpless animal, he should still be in jail much less living the good life. If Obama wanted to make a point about giving people second chances, he should have picked some 19 year old kid who got busted for drugs and straightened out his life by getting a second chance. Not some arrogant, millionaire dog killer. Obama is wired wrong in the head. It’s dangerous having someone with such poor judgement being president.

    ganymede, you’ve got things backwards. It’s the lying, constantly cheating liberals who need a dose of humility. The arrogance of Congress this past year was disgusting watching a group of marginally intelligent people sit back and chastise the American people like we were little kids. What right do these primadonnas have to think they can come in and take 50% of people earnings to spend on their pet projects and to buy votes. If you would do some research and look and see which group of people liberal or conservative donate the most to charity, you would see conservatives give three times more to charity, whereas liberals spend most of their money on yachts, big SUV’s, jewelery, for example Elton John spent $30,000 on 12 robes at Neiman Marcus in NYC. That is excessive. ganymede do some research before shooting your mouth off.

    I hate dogs. Make Vick get a cat.

    He should never have been punished so harshly in the first place. Out in Bakersfield they would give him a slap on the wrist and let him go.

    Fact: Look Liberal scum I know where he can get a few reds! These chickens have some spirs that will cut like a ginsu knife!

    Should Michael Vick be allowed to have a dog or allowed to play football?

    Here are my thoughts on that:>

    If he wasn’t a celebrity/ pro-asslete, this wouldn’t even be a question. The money you have and the lawyers you can afford shouldn’t set a precedence over human decency. I realize ‘human decency’ is a relative term these days because it gets pushed away too quickly due to money of the offenders and the greed of the lawyers. Those dogs didn’t deserve to suffer nor does any victim of an abuse crime. All life is not ours to do with as we please. If he was a moral, decent human being, it wouldn’t have happened. PERIOD. It is time for the victims of violent crimes to get the defense they deserve and it is time to STOP coddling the abusers!! ~~Peace~~
