Barack Obama Elected President!

[Wales2004]

So you're saying that running a tape referring to Michelle Obama as Obama's Baby Mama isn't the least bit questionable in terms of racism?

We have differing opinions on this and I have seen enough clips to satisfy me that there are. I don't expect you to believe me nor should you. What counts is that I believe me.

Neil Cavuto said that the reason the housing market collapse is because of giving ownership of homes to "Minorities and other people".

Fox News: Racism Is Their Marketing Plan

Filed under: Art/Culture, General, Propaganda — Mark @ 10:58 am

A press conference will be held today at 2:30 outside of the offices of Fox News in New York. The purpose of the gathering is to deliver a petition with over 600,000 names to network executives calling for an end to the racist attacks against black Americans including Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. The petition is the work of Color of Change and MoveOn and asks Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to respond to the allegation that…

“Fox has developed a pattern of airing racially offensive attacks, then apologizing only after controversy erupts. Forced, half-hearted apologies do not demonstrate good faith when the larger pattern of offensive rhetoric continues.”

Examples of Fox’s intolerance abound, but for a brief recap of a few that occurred just this year:

* Obama’s Baby Mama

* Terrorist Fist Jab

* Knock Off Osama …uh… Obama … Well, Both If We could

* Lynching Party Against Michelle Obama.

.

Yeah. BS. Sure. Fox News isn't racist.

But I bet they are sexist.......that's why HRC lost, because FN was so mean to the great HRC.

And we can add this:

Estimated the amount of time Obama has spent on front porches during the course of his life

Noted that Obama looks like the Fox News team's "one friend"

Whenever he is shown exiting a limousine, journalists mention that his Escalade must be in the shop

Scored footage of Obama visiting a Russian mobile launch missile dismantling facility with the theme from Shaft

Good thing they aren't racist.

I wuld be so disappointed if they were.

[Roman]

Oh, and who was that !@#$%^&*] who said he was suprised we weren't cursing at each other for "More Motherfucking Ice Tea!" and was surprised we ate with utensils and walked upright, wore clothes and actually spoke the English language?

Wasn't that..............Bill O'Reilly?

Yep. Another example of their non-racism.

All of the inmates had a trial and were found guilty

The Vatican official singled out Pelosi and Biden who are both Catholic.

[Wales2004]

Was that in regards to his visit to a restaurant owned by someone black in Harlem? I vaguely remember reading something about his visiting a restaurant and being shocked.

On another note, last night I commended Palin for her stance on Darfur and I still think if she means it then it's a good thing. After reading the Los Angeles Times this morning (and a list of Biden's and Palin's truth stretching), I found out that the bill she claimed credit for introducing to the Alaskan Legislature was introduced by a Democrat and that Palin has not publicly pushed for it. In addition, some officials from the fund opposed the measure.

[Roman]

Yes, that was a black owned restaurant he went to, with Al Shaprton.

I guess we'll now hear that because he went to a black restaurant that proves he's not racist.

As far as the bill, everyone claims credit for bills hoping some won't do the fact checking to see if they supported it or if their name was on it.

I dont really care what you like or dont like about posting with me...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

I never said she was running for office

Good for you...It is important to me..

Who said I needed to be clarifying her professionalism? My purpose in raising questions about media bias is not to fit your definition of the manner in which I should go about doing so...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

Probably because being "friendly" is not the same as writing a book with a candidate's name in the title...Correct me if I am wrong, but has Brokaw written a book called Women in Politics and the Age of Palin? Or "Age of McCain"...No?..Didn't think so..

I dont really care to spend my time figuring out what offends you and what doesn't....I was just asking...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

[Wales2004]

I guess you can go either way on the visit but his statements still showed a lot of ignorance about black people....of the dangerous variety and he's suppposed to be a learned man and people listen to him. He's way behind the times so apparently the people who think he's great and all are either not aware of this, ignore it, or have issues with progressiveness as well.

I know the politicians lie but I guess I was hoping she was telling the whole truth on that one.

[George008]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess something...You are black, Wales, aren't you?

I can tell because...Ifill's race never...and I mean never crossed my mind! If you want to improve race relations..the key is to not find every single critisism about Gwen, Michelle, or Barack as racially motivated! I am sick of everyone accusing others of being racist simply for raising questions or disagreeing!

[Roman]

So, Casey, as faras you're concerned, black people can't say anything independent of each other.......if one black person says something, then all black people must explain or must agree with that statement?

Interesting.

[George008]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess something...You are black, Wales, aren't you?

I can tell because...Ifill's race never...and I mean never crossed my mind! If you want to improve race relations..the key is to not find every single critisism about Gwen, Michelle, or Barack as racially motivated or "exxxxtremely offensive"! I am sick of everyone accusing others of being racist simply for raising questions or disagreeing!

How dare you insinuate that my critisism of Ifill is because she is black! Where do you come off? How dare you!

Please let me know where I have said anything even remotely close to that!

[Roman]

You know what will improve race relations?

When it doesn't matter WHAT COLOR you are.

How many people have been sentenced to death due to a jury finding them "guilty" only for the decision to be reversed due to evidence proving their innocence. Just because they were found guilty doesn't mean they were, just like people who are found not guilty doesn't mean they were.

So please don't use that "they had a trial and were found guilty" as an excuse.
