Brave New Films: Sorry FOX, We Won't Let You Trash Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama has come in for particularly poor treatment on FOX News -- from the "terrorist fist jab" to "Obama's Baby Mama," along with scores of comments on her supposed bitterness. In a new video, Brave New Films catalogs the racism and misinformation in FOX's anti-Obama attacks.

[WATCH]

"Not only are they smearing Michelle Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that they believe gives them the right to slander her again," the group says in a press release. "FOX's long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas. Racism and fearmongering have no place in our country or its politics, despite what FOX would have you believe."

Sign Brave New Films' petition demanding Fox "stop injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue" here.

Why is Michelle Malkin so mean and angry? Are all Filipino women like that?

[rwe]

no but all prograssives are

[Gemma08]

Thats so ironic coming from someone who cant even spell 'progressive'.

[2351]

Michelle Malkin does appear to be mean and angry. As a matter of fact, for such an attractive woman, her personality makes her look so ugly.

[TroubleNYC]

Attractive? It looks like the offspring of Mr. Miyagi and Mr. Ed.

Attacking Michelle Obama will not work - not this time.

There is a significant number of Obama supporters who are prepared to go toe-to-toe with fearmongers and promoters of hate such as Fox.

And just wait until this crap continues then many will follow the lead of Brave New Films by taking on those who thrive on division.

[esquire07]

The Republican machine will tear Obama and his family to shreds... and of Course Democratic cowards will not have any clue of what to do. Gonna get real dirty, and in the end America loses.

[SMP]

It can only get dirty if WE let it......Not this time...Not this year....

we, Sen Obama Supporters, need to fight back because our lives and those of our children and grandchildren depend on it, on us.

With every fearmongering jab from McCain and his cohorts, we need to counter with one of our own again McCain and his cohorts.

It is all up to us now.

So it was OK to call Hillary every name under the sun, accuse her of the rumors started by obama's campaign, lie, cheat and do the same to Bill Clinton, but you can't tell the truth about obama's wife who is a racist against white people...ever read her Princeton thesis, the one obama banned til after the GE cause he knew it would cause a conterversary that wouldn't quit. Worst than his racist preacher....gee what a crock.

[mannemalon]

more nutjob lies that have made people like you irrelevant in our national discourse. keep it up and you and your kind will stay that way.

[cjk002]

Where and when did anyone say that it was okay to smear Hillary?

This is why people (including myself) who previously admired the Clintons have turned away from them, because they (and their supporters) think everything is about them, even when it clearly isn't.

I am sick of these self-centered baby boomers ruining our country, that's why I'm voting for Obama.

[TriniGirl]

FYI: By definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination.

Racism is a function of power. If you don't have it, you can't be racist. You need to educate yourself.

[2351]

Since apparently Kally has read this thesis, maybe Kally can tell everyone where they can find it, so that we can form our own opinions about the thesis written by a young 20 something year old african american, telling things from her own life experiences and perspective. I've not seen one thing that Michelle Obama has said that indicates that she is a racist. From what I understand, that thesis is really not all that dramatic.. Kally needs to stop covering up her/his own racism with these types of remarks. Stop hiding behind your own racist fears Kally.

Well there is a copy of her thesis right here. Im wondering how Obama banned it.

[tbone99]

Hell, he's got more rights than most telecoms .fat chance.

[hopefull2008]

The sickest part of the coverage of this issue is the indignation that she might have some residual bitterness. Do you think she ever had a problem trying to get a cab to stop for her ... or have an extended wait for service in a restaurant ?

[NoBo08]

Never have I seen such hate speech as what passes for social discussion on this site.

[robiform]

If you don't like what's here, why are you reading and posting? Try the Newsmax.com or townhall.com sites--you'll definitely find your soul mates there!

[stepintothelight]

Sometimes I can't help but think of FAUX Noise as the Bizzaro Al-Jazheera!!! Only FAUX has less credibility behind it's extremist views!!!

[JerDogNebr]

Only John Stewart has it right. You simply have to laugh at these morons, because they don't recognize that they have made themselves irrelevant in this campaign to elect the next President of the United States. Don't get angry or sign petitions or boycott - HOLD THEM UP TO RIDICULE!!

[2351]

Oh yes, John Stewart ridicules them big time. I just love it, because he really makes these jokers look like jokers. I try to watch his show every night. He gives you a whole different perspective on this whole election thing.

[indypete]

Jon Stewart is the only reason I have cable!

[youknowwhat]

Flops News does more to misinform it's viewers than to inform them. You mean to tell me that of all the bad news coming out of Iraq, the only thing they can zero in on is Michelle Obama. She in no way put us in this mess we're in but all of a sudden she's the focal point of a whole news network.

Flops News=Republican Party
Republican Party=Flops News

[RealityBaseCamp]

youknowwhat did the math:

"Flops News=Republican Party
Republican Party=Flops News"

McCain = Bush

Don't tase me, bro!

Now we see the violence equivalent in the system!!

[guntotinganglion]

Funny, but if you break down Malkin's name, it makes a lot of sense.

Mal (as in malevolent or malconent) - evil

Kin (as in kinship or kindred) - person

I know it's her married name...but it fits her "personality" precisely. Her maiden name is interesting as well....Maglalang. I wonder what that means in Tagalog...cretin?

[ScandalousCandice]

They did a great job editing this. Fox News is a joke.

[Glowcy]

multinational corporations who own the US MSM do not care about news or news divisions because those entities lose money

Faux Fixed News is popular because it provides skewed infotainment and facts are useless audience losers

the reason that Stephen Colbert's term "truthiness" gained such traction is that it sounds good spoken out loud without being about facts

cable news programs are not correctly named because those cable programs provide opinions and the repugantcans have mastered the bamboozlery of presenting hard core opion as news
