Fox: "Outraged Liberals: Stop Picking on Obama's Baby Mama"

Fox News and the Republicans hit yet a new low. As Oliver Willis writes, "Hey Fox News, Just Call Her A N***** And Be Done With It, Okay?"

P.S. No wonder why Barack Obama's gaining among women these days.

P.P.S. The Urban Dictionary defines "Baby Mama" as "The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved."  Also, "an unmarried young woman (but can be a woman of any age) who has had a child." And then there's this: "Usually associated with hoodrats and trailer park bitches."

Keith Olbermann just beat Bill O'Reilly in the ratings for the first time ever.


GOD HELP US! (legacyofmarshall - 6/12/2008 9:32:20 AM)
A while back, I would always tell people that "I can only watch Fox News for five minutes, CNN for ten, and MSNBC for twenty."  Well - since getting a great team together and breaking ground and continuing to be fairly liberal, I'd say I can watch MSNBC for hours on end.  CNN still appears to be the news network for people who don't want to learn more than 1st grade English and Government, so I'd say I can't watch more than say 3 minutes of that.  I'm proud (I guess) to say that I couldn't even finish this clip of Fox Noise.

I see now why people call them the Pravda.

Anchor: John Kerry says conservatives might fail at something.  Is this true?  Let's ask a lady right of David Duke who called Rachel Ray a terrorist.

Female David Duke: LIBERALS SUCK!

I also really appreciate the now ever-so-popular (on all news networks) "This is a rumor so I won't go into it because it doesn't deserve to be talked about on mainstream media so... yeah - that's the rumor - talk about it so I don't have to!"



Great point about the women's vote (Silence Dogood - 6/12/2008 9:34:35 AM)
While McCain's trying to pander to Hillary supporters, Fox News has decided that they want to manufacture Hillary Clinton 2.0 (she's like Hillary, but she's black!) but what's really happening is that they're trying to make this election about a woman they don't like.

Well, good luck with that.



What ya don't think (Alter of Freedom - 6/13/2008 10:02:37 AM)
Obama is going to "pander" to those votes as well as those all over Appalachia. he chose to play the delegate strategy successfully and did not have to spend alot of menoy there the first time around. Not so sure he will be so fortunate this time. This is not to imply that these votes will automatically go to McCain, but Obama will have to do some pandering of his own honestly. These votes will have to be "earned" and I doubt anyone is just going to get them by default.


FOX is now officially imploding (The Grey Havens - 6/12/2008 9:34:38 AM)
Along with the dessicated conservative movement and the debauched Republican party, the propaganda arm has now moved directly into the realm of self-destruction.

I thoroughly applaud them.  FOX continues to prove that there is no place for decent Americans within the movement or the party their propaganda supports.

America can now be divided between "Decent, Hard-Working Americans" and "FOX News Viewers", and n'er the twain shall meet.



Leave it to FAUX NEWS ... (ub40fan - 6/12/2008 9:54:24 AM)
to head down the Maccaca Road ... Baby Mama?? What, they were just trying to be Hip Hop - hip??

Just flat out ugly "reporting" by some facist talking heads.



Why don't you just come right out (Alter of Freedom - 6/13/2008 10:21:11 AM)
And say "Redneck, Southerners" Grey Havens. Bullocks. Thats the implication isn't it. That somehow its Fox News viewers, oh no its Washington Post readers in the 11th, whatever. People I know watch all of them for different reasons. I like Hardball, can't stand Gregory show that replaced Tucker, so I change it. By the way it might help if they didn't run the same dam show twice in two hour blocks seperated by an hour and could fill it with...I don't know new programming. Fox does the same thing. Its annoying. I rarely watch CNN but do like Campbell and she is growing on me...everyone else there other than Dobbs I can do without.
Given ratings for Fox seem to be higher in the South I guess and MSNBC the Northeast its easy to make such assertions but many of us watch all of them in large part due to the different personalities. Many Republicans I know watch MSNBC because they want to see Pat B. "take on the liberals" on the various shows. Personally I never watch O'Reilly nor Countdown anymore because its just so grand to see grown-ups? basically bash its others content instead of I don't knowing informing the public on matters. Both these hosts are shameful in my mind. I lost more faith in MSNBC when the allowed their anti-war producers to cloud the proper judgement in covering the Medal of Honor recipient a week or so back and did not even mention it on Countdown, where Keith O claims to care so much about how the troops are treated. The honoree is a great American you self bloviating baffon regardless of the politics of the conflict--did we not learn anything from Vietnam Keith? Relegating outstanding young Americans to the internet and not primetime coverage out of political purposes is shameful.
To imply that Fox Viewers are somehow not "Decent, Hard-Working Americans" is quite funny given the demographics of most of the audience and by the way all those MSNBC viewers I guess could not be portrayed as lofty eliteist and only liberal types...oh no there truly is a diverse demographic over there at NBC news.
I guess if ratings are any indication than 2/3 of the nation is a bunch of fat, lazy, racists with little education ugh Grey Havens.
Thank god for Bloomberg I guess.


Oh and the other thing (legacyofmarshall - 6/12/2008 9:38:19 AM)
I started paying attention to the news feed at the bottom.  THEY WEREN'T EVEN HEADLINES.

Their progression of "logic" won't fool me.  Unfortunately, I am a very tuned-in and progressive activist, so I'm in the minority, and most people might be fooled.

"Fact" 1: Republicans want to drill in ANWR

"Fact" 2: There's oil there that would help us reduce our dependance on foreign oil and bring the price of gas down.

"Fact" 3: Democrats don't want to drill in ANWR

"Fact" 4: It would take 10 years to get the oil into mainstream production.

"Fact" 5: President Clinton stopped a proposal to drill in ANWR in 1995.

WHOAH!  So you're telling me that if Clinton hadn't been a tree-hugging liberal 10 years ago my gas wouldn't be $4.19/gallon, it would be more around a buck! ($4.17/gallon) because all that oil would be pouring into the market from Alaska just about now!

Thank you Fox for proving to me just what havock the average Democrat wreaks upon this nation and its economy.  Good thing George Bush is our president, or I might be paying an astronomical price for gas!  Oh wait...



"Baby Mama?" (Catzmaw - 6/12/2008 12:18:44 PM)
What in blazes were they thinking?  Michelle Obama is a black woman who has children and they feel entitled to use an inner city slang term to describe her?  Anyone think they'd do that for a white woman or, say, Michelle Malkin if she ever spawned, er, reproduced?  This is an example of the subtle racism that pervades our society, sort of like the assumption that anyone who is black speaks ebonics and loves hip hop. It's incredibly racist to put something like that on a TV screen.  


Let's see, now (Teddy - 6/12/2008 12:53:53 PM)
in the interests of Fair and Balanced, I look forward to hearing Laura Bush referred to on Fox as Dubya's Baby Mama... or, better yet, why not Condolezza as Bush's Baby Mama (after all, did Condi not get tongue twisted by referring inadvertantly to George W as "my husband"?). I see great potential here for Fox News to prove how fair and balanced it really is.


Meanwhile (spotter - 6/12/2008 7:38:24 PM)
Cindy McCain is a hooah, a homewrecker, and a sugar mama.  I guess we won't be hearing about values voters this time around.


Beyond the Pale (Kindler - 6/12/2008 8:48:08 PM)
I didn't think that anything Fox News did would surprise me anymore, but I was wrong.  This is unbelievable. In a country where outright, unabashed racism seemed to be becoming taboo, this is like a bolt of lightning out of the blue.

No TV station would ever refer to Barbara Bush or Margaret Thatcher or even Hillary Clinton as "Baby Mama".

Why not just have the anchors where white sheets over their heads?
