How Is Gene Simmons An Ebola Expert?

Fox News is a legit network with a pile of resources. So imagine my confusion when someone on the Fox assignment desk booked Gene Simmons to comment on Ebola in America. I just don't get it. I'm clearly not shocked in Gene's position (hint: blame Obama) but still... find a politician to say it. Fox has access to just about every current and former Republican in the House and Senate. Statements about travel bans have more credibility from an elected official versus a member of KISS but hey, that's just me.

Gene is consistent world traveler, & an international citizen. (born in Haifa Israel) He's also very politically astute.
He's also absolutely correct in laying the blame at the feet of the guy who's flubbed his job of supposedly leading the country. CNN called it correctly when they called Obama "the lamest duck, ever".

Gene is the worlds foremost authority on everything. Just ask him.... Lol

[Ace Steele]

Kinda hard to swallow, but he's usually 100% correct.

[Kenny Ozz]

Gene yet again proves hes a blowhard jackass.

Ace, Ripper couldnt have said it any better! You nailed it buddy!

[Kevon]

I feel the exact same way as Gene, sometime he is off base but NOT in this instance!!!!

[gary]

That's why we love you gene! You're the best! Oh, can I touch, even smell, your great sense of self. Dude: you're a freakish bass player, in a contemporary band. Fuck you!

[Mike]

Fuckin Gene... Shut your goddamn mouth for a second please, what ever happened to not using your celebrity as a vehicle to spout about politics?

You consistently make it harder for me to tell anybody that I am a KISS fan. (Always have to specify, KISS the band that retired in 2002,, not the shitty tired old tribute act that currently tours, featuring Gene and Paul)

RIP KISS 1974-2002

Gene: dont make a grown man cry. You never stop. Funny as hell. But, try starting it up, instead of stopping it. What a demon.

[gary]

You still stuffin' your mind with those dreams?

[gary]

Do us a favor, mb...walk this way, or just say no.

[fletch]

hey hey, my my...rock n roll will never die!

[Dj]

Gene invented Ebola...just ask him, he's the god of thunder and the god of everything. Surprised he didn't say Ebola was inspired and invented by that corporate bullshit he still calls a rock band.

[Metalboy!]

Forget $immons...

The first 6 words of this post form what has to be one of THE most ridiculous statements to appear on BBG!:

"Fox News is a legitimate network..."

Hilarious!

[Gary]

I hear Ya MB.Fox is to "news" what Justin Beiber is to "Music".....

[Manny]

Blaming Obama how original, give me a break!! Metalboy and Gary nailed it, legimate news networks do not ask rockstars to comment on political matters, I respect Gene's right to say what he wants and respect his viewpoints even if I disagree with it, but he is a musician not a health expert or a politican.

[JAT]

Funny to me how everyone says Fox News isn't a legitimate network because they have conservative views. Most other networks are very liberal but have a conservative view and its illegitimate. Somehow if they ask a rockstars viewpoint it's silly yet other liberal networks ask George Clooney or Oprah Winfrey theirs and that's just fine. Not sure why an actor is better than a rockstar. It's all silly.

[GNR]

Its the easier side to be on, to be everyone's friend and not make the tough decisions.

[Manny]

I doubt many people care about George Clooney's viewpoints on that many issues either,

[Jack T Ripper]

You all are letting your distaste for Gene cloud your judgement. Absolutely Fox News is a legitimate news site, you dont have to agree with their views but their views deserve respect just like everyone elses. Not doing so shows stupidity and ignorance. The Ripper agrees with Gene this time!
