    I'm sorry I wasn't aware we were gassing people at our "secret prisons". I also wasn't aware we were forcing muslims to wear pink triangles on their clothing so we could identify them.

    I get it. You don't like Bush. But you lose any claim to sanity when you compare him to animals like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.

    Jesus, people. Can we please stop referring to Bush as another Hitler? Want to call him a war criminal? That's one thing. But another Hitler. C'mon.

    Are any of our regular conservative posters going to call this out for the bullshit it is?

    It's one thing to say "libs engage in the same thing," but first and foremost you have to call out Fox for this.

    I honestly don't think John McCain would be amused by this.

    Of course it's bullshit. I don't there's any disagreement on that. November can't get here quick enough.

    It isn't just bullshit, it is tainted with racism. It fills in the stereotype of the unwed mother having the black father's baby.

    Is anyone really shocked that this was on Fox News?
     
  6. I'll call it out as BS (even though I'm an Independent). Fox should have spent most of the next day apologizing.

    I wasn't going to comment on this thread because the level of discourse is in the gutter. I'm only commenting now because Lugnuts is a lady.

    Don't know about the racism part. Around here "baby mama" is a multicultural term.

    Maybe Fox News meant in the way the movie Baby Mama meant it and it was a joke saying that Michelle was in fact not capable, oh never mind.
    Blatantly racist, no other way around it.
    I say someone on Fox calls Obama a coon or a mulatto before they drop the N bomb.
