We cannot allow FOX to make politics about racist stereotypes.

You're not going to believe what FOX is up to now--we could hardly believe it ourselves. 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. That's what happened when FOX called Michelle and Barack Obama's fist bump a "terrorist fist jab," apologized, and then less than a week later referred to Michelle Obama as Barack's "Baby Mama."

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. That's why we put together this video, FOX Attacks Michelle Obama.

We cannot allow FOX's heinous smears and scare tactics to continue. Sign our petition and stop FOX from injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue. Then, send it to all your friends and family members for them to sign as well. And spread it on sites like Digg to create an uproar.

We cannot allow FOX to make politics about stereotypes, misinformation, and flat-out dishonesty. Not now. Not ever.

Michelle Obama trashing... [Report this comment] Posted by: andrewstromotich on Jul 9, 2008 9:31 AM Current rating: 3 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] is stupid and mildly irritating, but it's FOX and their dummies doin it so to be expected. it's funny, the only place i ever see any fox reporting now is thru alternet and robert greenwald... my question for michelle obama is are you to a stalwart supporter of Israel, do you agree with your husband opting out of his public finance promise, and are you turning your back on the palestinians after having used them to gain support back in the early days of your career? what about FISA? do u support FISA like yer hubby, which of course would have been a deadly tool in destroying the american revolution, the union movement, and the civil rights movement?

They are not intelligent enough to come up with any real in-depth news. They need to make up crap. What a bunch of pathetic losers. I wonder if they really believe in the methane gas they spew or if they are just doing it for a paycheck. Bill (give me another drink) O'Rielly; Laura (the bull dyke) Ingram; and Michelle (the wanna be white girl) Malkin are all just a bunch of either complete idiots or will do anything for a buck. I guess in a way that makes the "Media Whores."

That is the role of the Fox Hounds For Hell whose viewers are brainwashed by a poisonous brew of reiteration, non ratiocination, spewed insults, child proof non proofs and hideous harangues. If you've got five minutes to waste it's good invective theater. If you care about the human race it's pretty depressing.
