Michelle Obama is Nobody's "Baby Mama"

Have the right-wing media mercenaries over at Fox News lost their fucking minds? During a discussion Wednesday between commentators Michelle Malkin and Megyn Kelly on whether Republican attacks on Michelle Obama have been too harsh, the following banner ran across the bottom of the screen:

OUTRAGED LIBERALS: STOP PICKING ON OBAMA'S BABY MAMA!

This blatantly racist, unconscionable remark is an outrage, and is part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to incite America's bigoted dumbasses against Sen. Barack Obama, the first black to be on a major national ticket in Western political history. Shame on Fox for this disgusting, irresponsible act of race-baiting. Just in case anyone is still wondering, it clearly demonstrates Fox News' true motives and loyalties in this campaign and with politics in general. Fox is nothing more than a shameless, unapologetic mouthpiece for the ruthless Republican attack-machine

Michelle Obama is no damned baby mama. I still am dumbfounded by what an offensive, insensitive, racially charged reference Fox made. Born and raised on Chicago's South Side, Michelle Obama saw herself through Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and held prestigious positions in the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin and on the staff of Mayor Richard M. Daley. And now she stands to become the first black First Lady of the United States of America. She deserves respect, dammit. She's not some character out of the Jerry Springer Show. That Fox chose to tag her with this grossly disrespectful, racist label is beyond vile. Rupert Murdoch should immediately fire everyone responsible for this reprehensible act.

Get ready, Democrats, this is only the beginning.

Very, very well said.
A Producer or Director
of the show and the Host
of that show should be fired!

Your last line, "Get ready, Democrats, this is only the beginning" said it all. It is going to take nationwide, well publicized boycotts of FauxNews advertisers to stop this kind of trash. Otherwise, it will only get worse.

Hey Andy, don't underestimate or marginalize the bigoted dumbass demographic. That's going to be John McCain's core in November.

"Not God Bless America, no, no, no, God damn .." FOX, America.

A baby mama (also baby-mama and baby-mother) is a mother who is not married to her child's father. The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby mama as "the mother of a man's child, who is not his wife or (in most cases) his current or exclusive partner".[1]

[PLUMPLUM]

Which part of those idiots on Fox know about the Oxford dictionary?

Don't try to apologize for their customary lowdown behaviour. The people on this site are very familiar with the trailer trash tactics used by that network. They are catering to their main base which is the so-called white working class aka rednecks who apparently are not familiar with even their own Webster's.

We don't need an apologist here.

Faux is getting really heavy with the group of those that used to be someone/something and the addition of the negative comments about either Obama shows me that these people hired must not be highly intelligent. That Faux can give a simple the comment was out of line instead of a clear appology also says a lot about the quality of person Faux hires and keeps on. In a real news organization, as has happened on MSNBC in the past, the person who made such a horrible verbal inferrence of out of wed lock children on the person of the future wife of the president of this country would be totally gone. Out the door. But the people who watch Faux expect the most awful referrence to support the skewered view points they have and so they will watch and demand nothing from this channel of nasty news.

Yeah, it's only going to get worse. Sure, the word "nigger" won't be used, but everything up to that point might end up "fair game". How sad.

Nobody is surprised at this horrendous slur against Michelle and Senator Obama. The are so afraid of Michelle because she is brilliant and so many women LOVE her. What do we expect from Rupert Murdoch's cess pool? I wish someone would tell him since he obviously hates and disrespects America so much, why the hell doesn't he go back to Austrailia and fuck up that country instead of ours? Again, Malkin is so full of self hatred that she is incapable of being a human being.

We gave Fox Noise and Sean Hannity to continue their racists, unprincipled and possibly illegal behavior when they were allowed to turn their airways into an Obama-bash-marathon with the Wright affair and the contrived bitter controversy. They tried mightily again with the Father Fleger(sp) remarks. But it wasn't only Fox. It was MSNBC and CNN. Mika B was doing her best 2 mornings ago to have another full-fledged controversy over Mr. Johnson leaving the vetting committee. She dismissed McCain's comments and the other big news of the day as she insisted that the biggest news was Johnson. There is a conspiracy to destroy Barack Obama's name and to dismantle the movement he has started.

I'm not surprised by the



I'm not surprised by the Fox people acting in a negative way. The few minutes I watch in a month, I usually have to turn the channel quickly. All the network and cable "news" anchors are people who have sold out and hurt their country in a big way-except for a few people Bill Moyers,the man on Now, andCspan. We as a people need to discuss our lack of free press in the media in a thorough way. We are not getting vital information b/c these anchors are giving us propoganda by the people backing the administration and the war.Please discuss everywhere. Demand to know what the rest of the world knows-our country does not know what its's gov. leaders are doing around the world and here in this country.

Faux is disgusting. It is not news, it is a propaganda machine and a serves only to slime people. People across party lines should dismiss Faux and it's trash by changing the channel. I don't and won't watch it...but for the people who track this garbage it should be called out.

[WineWonkette]

The real outrage is that anyone continues to report upon or categorize Fox as media, much less "NEWS." It's nothing but a 24-7 neocon infomercial.

[stepintothelight]

The world is watching ... American true evil will prevail ... Then we all will see what suffering is. Feel ashamed yet!!! Yeah ... As bad as it was and is ... I was once proud of this country. All I had to do was travel somewhere else to open my eyes. It is time for the arrogance of ignorance to run it's course of extinction.

The great Spanish painter Goya entitled one of his sketches "The Sleep of Reason Produces monsters". When the sleep of reason joins jealousy, that is, the intense irrational emotion of desiring violently the brilliant qualities of another person, which you know you can never possess, then you are left with dragging the person to your level. This futile attempt of the Idiotus of Fox to drag down an outstanding woman into the mud the Idiotus of Fox are wallowing in tends to metamorphose itself into violent clichés. Michelle Obama is a hardworking and extremely intelligent woman with degrees from two Ivy Colleges, including Harvard. And how did the Idiotus-sleep-of-reason of Fox refer to Michelle Obama? Well, Clinton has left the scene, now the feminists must come out, if they really care about feminist"s causes.

I don't watch Fox, but I will to see who the advertisers are beginning tonight.
