She was reporting on the comments of others. FOX, like so many, folded under the accusation of racism rather than try to point out the facts.

It's irresponsible journalism then. She never explained what she meant, she never had any "expert" talking about the terrorist fist jab. She just said it and never substantiated or qualified it. And considering Fox news continued repitition of the lie that Obama was "raised Muslim" they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.

That was stupid, but not racist. Michelle had used the phrase "My Baby's Daddy" to introduce Obama at one of his speeches

Can you ever imagine Fox News referring to Cindy McCain, Hillary Clinton or Nancy Reagan as anyone's "Baby Mama"? Of course you can't because we all know that phrase is a uniquely African American slang. Which I have no problem with, except that the MEANING of the word is a woman with whom you have kids, but no other kind of relationship. Out of pure respect you don't refer to the wife of a senator and a Presidential candidate in that way. I might also add that all of us, regardless of our race, are allowed to call our dear loved one things, in certain contexts, that are innapropriate or offensive in another context. I have seen my Italian friend call his brother a "dirty wop" during a heated moment playing cards. Does that mean I can call him a "dirty wop?" Does that mean Fox news can refer to italian's as "dirty wops."?

I would rather get my news from FOX, then from MediaMatters or Moveon.org.

I'm not sure, exactly, how you can equate Moveon and Media Matters. The former is a political action group, the later is an independent media fact checking organisation. But I can imagine that someone who enjoys Fox propaganda would actually despise media matters since they so often call out Fox. The only thing you can say about media matters is that you perceive them as liberal. You can't actually demonstrate that their criticisms of Fox and other corporate media are innacurate.

Rev. Wright is a real racist (and an anti-Semitic and a conspiracy nut and a Marxist in Christian drag).

How is Rev. Wright a racist. Can you please DEFINE racist for me? I'd love to hear it. And there's nothing anti-Christian about a marxist political philosophy.
