- zephyear, on 06/12/2008, -31/+721oh neat, racism and sexism wrapped into one little package
- alapoet, on 06/12/2008, -45/+463There's no low to which Fox News won't stoop in their partisan efforts to stop the Obama-mobile from rolling over their worldview.
- The0, on 06/12/2008, -23/+407Well at least they didn't call them terrorists or anything.
Wait... - highlymodified, on 06/12/2008, -20/+388For anyone who's confused:
baby mama: a slang term used to refer to a woman with whom you had a child or children with who you didn't marry and are no longer involved with. Usually associated with hoodrats and "ho's" stereotypes in urban culture.
Besides implying his two daughters are bastards, it implies that by virtue of being black (or her husband being half black) Michelle deserves such a title.
It may not be easy to spell out, but it is undoubtedly racist, no matter how you feel about Obama. - vankai, on 06/12/2008, -21/+321and this is coming from michelle malkin - the one who thinks rachel ray is a terrorist because she is a wearing a scarf - go figure. someone needs to be pimp slapped
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -27/+231cindy mccain's problems are always taboo while michelle is fair game since she is "actively campaigning" for obama.
to be "fair and balanced": "mccain's crack-ho" is a pill-popping, husband-stealing, "trollop", "*****"
tfj! - bicyclethief, on 06/12/2008, -21/+159Fox News is like that dumb, hick uncle in the family of tv journalism.
- RekCognize, on 06/12/2008, -27/+162Scared, scared, scared. The GOP is trying to throw everything it can to see what sticks.
- thirdcoastborn, on 06/12/2008, -32/+167I don't believe the gop or fox news wants to open the doors by attacking obama's wife. let's not forget cindy mccain is an ex-drug addict. A former addict as the first lady? i don't think so.
- DreKor, on 06/12/2008, -6/+105I dunno. A former addict as President? I don't think... wait... oh crap.
- lostsymphonies1, on 06/12/2008, -41/+132"To be fair, Michelle Obama referred to Barack as her "baby's daddy" on the night he won his Senate seat in 2004."
- BXRWXR, on 06/12/2008, -20/+109Stay classy Fox.
- dimsumx, on 06/12/2008, -15/+101There's nothing fair about it. There's personal acknowledgement, but that line is crossed when a 3rd party does it. For example, my african-american friends had always referred to each other with 'my *****'. Completely acceptable because it's personal between them. It just doesn't work when someone else says it, much less a news organization.
- michrech, on 06/12/2008, -3/+74"Then there's Colin Powell's admission that "everybody" in the Bush administration used Ambien..."
They'd have to. How else could they be sleeping at night with what they're doing to our Nation? - nullx42, on 06/12/2008, -2/+69*terrorist fist jab*
- nicheplayer, on 06/12/2008, -2/+62Someone call in Wayne Brady.
- highlymodified, on 06/12/2008, -12/+65baby mama: a slang term used to refer to women who are not married to the fathers of their children, with specific use in the African American community.
Besides implying his two daughters are bastards, it implies that by virtue of being black (or her husband being half black) Michelle deserves such a title.
It may not be easy to spell out, but it is undoubtedly racist, no matter how you feel about Obama's policies. - chris9902, on 06/12/2008, -4/+56...and yet that's a step up for Fox News.
- leetninja, on 06/12/2008, -4/+55Why The Hell Are You Capitalizing The First Letter Of Every Word In Your Nonsensical Rant That Makes Little To No Sense Whatsoever?!!!??one!!
- mlrigsby, on 06/12/2008, -2/+45Well, they don't refer to white candidates spouses as "baby mama".
- Dumbledorito, on 06/12/2008, -4/+47Drug addiction isn't new to the White House. Nixon was on all kinds of meds (many of which didn't play nice with booze) and Kennedy was on several narcotic concoctions for back pain. Bush II's coke habit and alcoholism have at least played a factor in his mental deterioration. Then there's Colin Powell's admission that "everybody" in the Bush administration used Ambien...
I'm not saying it's good, but drug addiction has apparently gotten this country where it is today. Though I'd be interested to see what THC could do for foreign relations. :) - stoph009, on 06/12/2008, -3/+46I'm sure white ppl didn't start saying "baby momma". They are trying to make her look like a hood rat by using those two words.
- unyuzyall, on 06/12/2008, -10/+52Not to mention Cindy McCain trowls on her make up like a trollop, that *****.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 06/12/2008, -2/+38Michelle Obama said "baby's daddy" not "baby daddy." Life's too short to explain the difference to anyone who doesn't understand.
- dcmjzero, on 06/12/2008, -2/+38don't make fun of my dumb, hick uncle like that. he may have not graduated middle school, but he at least knows iraq wasn't a good idea. (i am actually being serious)
- howdareyou, on 06/12/2008, -0/+34Guess who the Betty Ford clinic is named after.
- cstegner, on 06/12/2008, -2/+35This doesn't justify it, but it's nice to know all the facts.
- RetlawST, on 06/12/2008, -0/+31Oddly enough, all of those things have been verified publicly by John McCain himself.
- sugarazor, on 06/12/2008, -4/+34Do you even think before you type?
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -17/+46Misogynistic, racist, anti-American, the Fox News Network.
- moraldebate, on 06/12/2008, -1/+30"Baby mama" actually just means that it's a woman you've had a child with who you haven't married. You could still be very much involved with her and use the term.
But seeing as they ARE married, it's still racist and still ***** journalism. - meese, on 06/12/2008, -4/+32Yeah, except she stole the narcotics from a non-profit foundation as an adult. But sure, never mind.
- TheRealJMX, on 06/12/2008, -13/+40As much as this irritates me... it just goes to show how scared they are, because they know Obama has a real chance at taking the White House.
- Cuchanu, on 06/12/2008, -4/+30People are different. You may call your wife Sweety Pie or something but do you want some other guy saying that? Hell no.
- tschau, on 06/12/2008, -2/+26Was that your headline? Or are you trying to start the acronym "TIPRSRBUDICDACCBTSNBCBASRMSMSDBBCIPUI"...
I'll try it out on the next comment I disagree with. - BrewBeau, on 06/12/2008, -0/+24Yeah, doesn't 'baby mama' imply that the family is not together and the parents are not married or perhaps were never married in the first place? Times change and there's nothing wrong with having a baby "out of wedlock" but it's obviously a way to make the Obamas make the "family values" conservatives' blood curdle at the thought of them. Fox news and TMZ should just become one show and get it over with.
- seks03, on 06/12/2008, -9/+32michelle malkin can eat a dick, I'd spit on this bitch If I seen her
- AllanX, on 06/12/2008, -15/+36Do you smell desperation? A black man as president would literally make their empty heads explode.
- Godlike, on 06/12/2008, -1/+20"They'd have to. How else could they be sleeping at night with what they're doing to our Nation?"
+1,000,000 dingdingding you win the internet. - gn0stik, on 06/12/2008, -3/+22They're "conservative". They are morally bound by principal to be efficient in their douchebaggery. Why waste the energy and oxygen enunciating two separate slurs when they can do it all at once?
Rupert Murdoch: Time to just issue pink slips all around. - byikes, on 06/12/2008, -0/+19Betty Ford clinic?
- Shrubber, on 06/12/2008, -3/+22Yeah...she is.
- an0nymous, on 06/12/2008, -3/+22Ya got it backwards. "baby mama" indicates illegitimacy:
The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved.
Oh her? She ain't nothing to me now, girl, she just my baby mama. So, can I get your number?
Add to it that is primarily a turn of phrase used in the black community and the characterization is very queasy making.
Honestl;y I doubt they knew or cared to know about the meaning. They just like that ***** because
a) it rhymes! "Obama Baby Mama? What sport!"
b) They like to remind people he's black. - AlexCross, on 06/12/2008, -1/+20Well, at least they didn't support his assassination.
Wait... - BoneheadFarker, on 06/12/2008, -7/+26No...she said that Barack is her "baby's daddy", which very much different from calling someone a "baby mama"...
- ZenMojo, on 06/12/2008, -6/+25You know, maybe they're not trying to be racist. Maybe they're trying to make up for the fact that they got caught out not knowing anything about modern and/or black culture with that fist bump terrorist jab nonsense and are trying to prove that they're cool.
You know. Kind of like your grandma asking what The New Kids On the Block are up to these days.
...Yeah...maybe.... (okay, prolly not). - dygerati, on 06/12/2008, -7/+25Correct me if I'm wrong, but "baby momma" is a slang term with racist connotations & the said use of "baby's daddy" is simply referring to her husband as the father of her child?
If that's the case then this seems like not only no justification, but also fairly irrelevant. - treed, on 06/12/2008, -17/+35I thought that was the Democratic convention? But, either way, I wish I could dig you up 100 times. We're probably going to get buried for pointing out the truth.
(I'm an Obama supporter, BTW.) - kolobcreek, on 06/12/2008, -6/+24It should also be noted that on the O'rielly Factor yesterday Bill and Dick Morris noted that dissing Obama's wife is only gonig to help Obama just like it did Bill Clinton at the RNC when the Republicans slammed Hillary.
So those comments from fox news and this post are just going to gain sympathy for Mr Obama and his family. - RonBurgundy76, on 06/12/2008, -7/+23whiterice0 - hehe. The Rush Limbaugh poster child.
