Fox News Hires Stacey Dash to Offer ‘Cultural Analysis’ on Various Programs

stacey dashFox News announced Wednesday that it had hired Stacey Dash, renowned for her role in the 1995 movie “Clueless,” as a contributor to shows across the network. According to a release, Dash will “offer cultural analysis and commentary across various daytime and primetime programs.”

The actress has already turned in several appearances on the network, with her highly publicized experience in the 2012 campaign often a centerpiece of the discussion. Prior to the clash between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Dash tweeted out a note endorsing the latter as the “only choice for your future.” She said she took a beating for the endorsement. “I woke up the next morning and my life changed. I had death threats, people calling me Uncle Tom, telling me I didn’t like Black people,” said Dash, who is Black, in an appearance last month on “Fox & Friends.”

Co-host Steve Doocy commented, “Out of nowhere, suddenly, you are revealed to be a conservative, somebody who supports Republicans — and people were agog.”

Dash appears to speak with candor about her own experiences. When “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, for instance, asked Dash whether her support for Romney had affected her career, Dash replied, “It hasn’t affected my career. I think that’s wrong as well. Hollywood is about capitalism. And if you make movies and the movies make money, they’re going to make the movies.”

Then she said, “If Obamacare were a movie, they would not make a sequel.”

Just last week, Dash was a guest on the noontime show “Outnumbered,” and her fans applauded. As for her political bent, Dash has said on Fox’s air that the federal government “should not be a part of everything … I think that you should govern where you’re closest to home so that you can tailor your governing to the people’s needs. But for a big federal government to just throw a big blanket over an entire country and say ‘OK, we’re all a bunch of babies and now we’re all nice and warm and cozy’ is a bit ridiculous.”

  2. Mrs. Wash- Smith, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for setting me straight. I forgot about all those black people he was exposed to in those upscale private schools and neighborhoods in Indonesia and Hawaii. Sure those rich white grandparents of his took him to the black part of the islands regularly. Think I saw on fox news the interview they did with his black childhood friends and his black girlfriends he had before his wife. How could I forget the interview on CNN with all the people he helped organize in Chicago and the people who worked alongside of him? Not too bad for someone from those State universities he attended. Don't see how anyone ca live in that rundown apartment he lived in before he became a Illinois Senator. Not to mention all the time he spent in Kenya as a boy.

  3. Mrs.Wash-Smith, I've enjoyed our dialog. Thank you for providing an intelligent exchange. I'm sure we have a lot of area that we can agree. I count you amongst the people that I respect, though we disagree. Please forgive me for the blatant sarcasm of my last post. Nice smile. Lol

    Typical leftist drivel–attack the watchdogs instead of those in control. Talk about the blind following the blind. You could use a good leader dog.

    Yeah, they could use a few more Useful Idiots like the ones at PMSNBC or CNN so the lies and propaganda can cause a city to to burn over a justified police action. Talk about "Clueless." Some people LIVE it.
