Right Wing Hypocrisy on Michelle Obama - Stinking Right-Wing “Prick-Asshole” Lars Larson Taken To Task By Dan Abrams

Popularity: 9% [?]

“A term used to define an unmarried young woman (but can be a woman of any age) who has had a child. As mentioned before in another definition, most of the time it is used for when it was simply a sexual relationship, compared to ex-wife or girlfriend. Usually this has a negative connotation, a lot of baby mamas are seen as desperate, gold digging, emotionally starved, shady women who had a baby out of spite or to keep a man. Sometimes they may act like this because of missed child support payments, unfulfilled promises by the father, or convenient sex by the father. Either or both may exist in any situation.”

Definition of “Baby Mama” from UrbanDictionary.Com: “Baby Mama’s” are staples of the Jerry Springer and Maury Povich programs, but the term is rarely heard in polite society.

I was shocked and outraged when Fox News referred to Michelle Obama as Obama’s baby mama in a graphic:

“Fox News Channel referred to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama” in a graphic on Wednesday, the latest in a trio of references to the Democratic presidential campaign that have given fuel to network critics.

The graphic ‘Outraged liberals: Stop picking on Obama’s baby mama’ was flashed during an interview with conservative columnist Michelle Malkin about whether Barack Obama’s wife has been the target of unfair criticism.” — Quotation from the Associated Press.

This is blatant racism on the part of Fox News, they would never refer to John McCain’s wife as a baby mama.

Michelle Obama is a very accomplished professional with a law degree from Harvard Law school., but Fox News dismissed her as a baby mama. Is Fox News intimidated by a highly educated, brilliant, attractive and accomplished black woman?

It’s an insult to refer to Michelle as a baby mama, she is great asset to her husband. Michelle is a great speaker in her own right, and her husband relies on her for advice.

“Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News television station has been forced to apologise to Barack Obama after screening a racially tinged caption referring to his wife Michelle as his “baby mama”.

Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming at Fox, said that a producer “exercised poor judgment”. The statement came as Obama established a website to help counter what he referred to as smears and rumours.” — Quotation from Guardian.Co.UK

The apology by Fox News is not enough, discerning viewers need to turn away from Fox News and switch their allegiance to CNN or MSNBC.

Editorial Reviews

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism uses the inflammatory tactics of the Fox News Channel to demonstrate the conservative bias that’s handed down by Fox’s owner, media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The documentary gathers interviews from media watchdogs and former Fox employees (including a former anchor, Jon Du Pre, who describes his flailing efforts to create a celebration for Reagan’s birthday when the one he was sent to cover never materialized), but their overwhelming condemnation of Fox’s skewed news practices isn’t half as effective as footage taken directly from Fox itself–an appalling montage of pundit Bill O’Reilly telling guests to shut up; repeated efforts to paint Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry as weak and waffling, while President Bush is captured in respectful, reverent images; and management memos dictating language, subject matter, and point of view.

Outfoxed is unlikely to persuade Fox News fans to change their views, but it may spur outraged liberals to take action. –Bret Fetzer

Product Description: “Fair and balanced”??? How about anything BUT?!?! For the first time ever, this documentary reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it’s like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said “There’s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can’t be crossed.”

“Outfoxed” examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a “race to the bottom” in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public’s right to know.

“Outfoxed” first examines media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Australian company, News Corp., tracing how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) helped Murdoch break the rules to establish a fourth network in the United States. The film explores Murdoch’s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.

Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR), Bob McChesney and Chellie Pingree, provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.

The team behind “Outfoxed” created a system to monitor Fox News 24 hours a day for months to discover exactly how its shows worked. A team of volunteers around the country scrutinized every hour of Fox News programming, noting examples of bias in its coverage. The result is an intense examination of Fox News and the lie inherent in its favorite motto: “Fair and Balanced.”

Political Cartoon By: Gary Varvel

Popularity: 17% [?]

As expected, after the “idiot-in-chief” George Bush attacked Sen. Barack Obama on the floor of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament), right-wing ReTHUGlican radio and TV morons, picked up the issue like hungry hyenas ‘howling and fighting’ over bone fragments.

George W. Bush told the Israeli Knesset Thursday that those who would talk with Iran or Syria were guilty of “appeasement” of a kind that once emboldened Hitler.

The remark has been widely interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who has said the U.S. should not exclude talking with Iran or Syria.

One of these right-wing “Radio Toilets,” a Mr. Kevin James attempted to defend President Bush’s comments comparing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to Nazi appeasers because he favors talking with ‘US’s enemies.’ James tried to compare Obama to Neville Chamberlain(1869 – 1940), who was a British Conservative politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940. Chamberlain’s legacy is marked by his policy regarding the appeasement of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany with his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

Mathews asked James if he knew what Neville Chamberlain did at Munich in 1938.

James had no answer other than to yell baselessly — like an imbecile in heat.

“What did he do?” x20 — Mathews Asked.

….but “Idiot James” kept on digging…

Mathews retorted: If you answered, “He signed the Munich Agreement, conceding a portion of Czechoslovakia to the Nazi regime,” you are right. If you answered, “He talked to Hitler, and caused 9/11 to happen and made the Statue of Liberty cry, just like Barack Hussein bin Laden wants to!” then you are Kevin James.

The video below is representative of the thought process of right-wing talk hosts and their audiences (TV and Radio), the Bible thumping, Gun Clinging and Xenophobic idiots crawling across West Virginia and many other southern states — Stubborn ignorance piled on top of unconscious delusion — the primary cause of hate crimes in the United States.

Here is the ‘HardBall’ SmackDown:

…..MEANWHILE — Tennessee GOP(Republican) THUGS Attack Michelle Obama

Obama Team Fired Back:

Spokesman Hari Sevugan: “This is a shameful attempt to attack a woman who has repeatedly said she wouldn’t be here without the opportunities and blessings of this nation. The Republican Party’s pathetic attempts to use the same smear tactics to win elections have failed in Mississippi, failed in Louisiana, and will fail in November because the American people are looking for a positive vision of real change. And if the Tennessee Republican Party has a problem with Senator Obama, maybe next time they’ll have the courage to address him directly instead of attacking his family.”

It’s Time For Hillary To Quit!

Barack Obama celebrates with wife Michelle
Sen. Barack Obama won North Carolina’s presidential primary by a wide margin Tuesday, while Sen. Hillary Clinton narrowly won in Indiana.

“We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be,” NBC’s Tim Russert declared on MSNBC last evening. The Meet the Press host was referring to Barack Obama, who won a decisive victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton in today’s North Carolina primary and is within just a few percentage points of her in the Indiana vote count.

The network’s Chuck Todd ran through the math and calculated that Obama now leads Clinton in the “popular vote” by about 710,000 — and by 200,000 if the disputed primaries in Florida and Michigan are counted. He also leads by about 160 Democratic convention delegates, Todd said.

Obama, according to Todd, can now make the case “that no matter how you do the math, I’m still ahead.”

The Politico’s Ben Smith reports that Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said this evening that the campaign is going to spend some time over the next few weeks campaigning in states that will be critical in the fall election. “I don’t think we are doing to spend our time solely in primary states,” Axelrod said. There are six primaries left on the Democratic calender; in West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota.

Barack Obama is 200 delegates away from the nomination, two weeks after a decisive defeat in Pennsylvania. Last night Obama sounded increasingly like he was looking forward to the fall campaign.

In a raucous rally in Raleigh, N.C., he congratulated Clinton on what he said “appears to be” a win in Indiana.

But he told the crowd, “Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”

“This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats,” he said, “because we all agree that at this defining moment in history — a moment when we’re facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril — we can’t afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush’s third term.”

MEANWHILE: Clinton vowed at a late-night rally in Indianapolis that her campaign would continue at “full speed” — then made an appeal for money to fight on in the face of a fund-raising disadvantage.

Despite the uncertainty of the outcome in Indiana, Clinton staked a claim to victory there.

“Not too long ago, my opponent made a prediction,” she said at the rally, joined by her husband, Bill, his face sunburned after hours spent campaigning in small-town North Carolina, and their daughter, Chelsea. “I would win Pennsylvania, he would win North Carolina and Indiana would be the tie-breaker.

“Well, tonight we’ve come from behind, we’ve broken the tie, and thanks to you it’s full speed on to the White House.”
