A Bewildered Conscience Blindly Groping for Clarity : Dissent is the Only Response to Manufactured Realities
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.

Fox news is the equivalent
by skatermom (not verified) on Sun Aug 10, 2008 05:53 PM PDTFox news is the equivalent of the National Enquirer. It's nothing but sensationilism and fear mongering. Their viewer base is made up mostly of those with an IQ of a sand flea. Yes, and us crazy lefties remember the Richard Wright thing. Most importantly however does the right wing remember Reverend Hagee. The same d-bag that gave even the biggest Republican second hand embarrassment. I'd rather be sitting in the pews listening to one of Wright's sermons than Hagee's any day. Personally I think Michelle isn't controversial enough. I can't wait for the day somebody really pisses her off where she channels her inner South side of Chicago diva and let's someone really have it.

Sadegh: racism very much present in Iranian community
by Q on Sun Aug 10, 2008 04:09 PM PDTI'm not surprised about this behaviour of some Iranians. Some of these people have always been about appearances only, promoting and following the "popular" standards and attitudes of the dominate cultural majority for over 30 years. That's what they consider "civilized."
Michelle's appearance is just not "kosher" enough for them, hence you see FOX/Limbaugh bigot talking points being repeated here.

Faux News is ridiculous and someone should buy a tv channel to counter faux news's incessant fearmongering, inciting, and bigotry.
The recent shooting and the loss of lives at the Unitarian Church in Tenessee was the result of this type of hatemongering by Faux et al. The guy who committed the shooting was an avid viewer of Faux news channel.

Michelle Obama is a vulnerability for Barack.

I just signed the petition on //foxattacks.com/michelle
this is what I wrote in the comment section: It's real shame to hear these people speak freely promoting lynching and racial slurs in this day and age! Shame on all of us for allowing this type of broadcast and staying quiet while the few abnoxiously loud idiots are roaming free on the airwaves.
Thank you for the opportunity you provided to me. I will check their website more often.

No problem...they are a really great series of videos...glad you're enjoying them...it's just ashame that some people here endeavor to proffer apologetics on Fox's behalf...O'Reilly's Freudian or not so Freudian slip regarding lynching says it all...

I love their videos
by IRANdokht on Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:10 AM PDTSo far I have seen 3 of them and all videos end with a very important message: psssst do something! and everybody should.
It's appalling that type of behavior is accepted from news media and TV personalities! the video had all the usual crowd, one worse than the other...
Thank you Sadegh!

by sadegh on Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:03 AM PDTExactly, I do consider myself fairly well educated and therefore feel myself able to see through Orwellian, 1984esque Newspeak...Also if you remember Obama denounced Wright's comments and has since broken with the Church so why are you rehashing dead Fox headlines???

Defenition: A strong feeling of identity and loyalty to one's group
any one can be a tribalist be it white ,black,chinese or a leftie like you. As usual your answers are filled with charges & your own leftist distortion & spin.

by sadegh on Sun Aug 10, 2008 09:37 AM PDTWow...sometimes the bigotry here on Iranian.com is so incredibly ignorant and offensive that it still manages to shock me. 'Tribal'! Next thing you'll be calling them 'wild Zulus'! Please go out and civilize yourself and take your racist canards along with you...Also the Obama campaign had nothing to do with this video!!! Robert Greenwald is not an employee of the Obama campaign!!! So please get your facts straight. Also where has Obama promoted a 'black only agenda'?!!! First off he hasn't and his mother is white for pete's sake. Seriously maybe it's high time you cut back on watching Fox - the ceaseless barrage of propaganda is beginning to make your brain soft!

Isn,t it odd
by samsam1111 on Sun Aug 10, 2008 07:52 AM PDTthat the tribalist husband & wife team of elitist lawyers charge their critics with racism , Yet through out their coreographed political life they have superficialy dedicated their cause to promote their own tibal agenda through various black social network aka "being loud & promote black only issues" while playing blind when it comes to other ethnicities..if thats not called tribalism I wonder what is....heh what a buncha red neck racists fox people are..
just imagin if John Mccain was involved with whites heritage front, or whites only church of proud patriots who has whites social rights for it,s agenda.
