    Racism Celebrated on Fox "News"

    If this isn't racism, what would racism look like?

    Fox's Eric Bolling: Obama Is Hosting "Hoodlum[s]" In "The Hizzouse" | Media Matters for America

    p.s. slandering mediamatters in this instance is not instructive. They merely presented the video.

    Was the clip racist?

    If this is racism all the racists I've ever met are doing it wrong.

    Hizzouse ... nuff said. I posted this on another site earlier. Never watched it.

    Most times things are very subtle now.

    Now if they had Lisa Lampanelli in the skit, I would say no.

    It's only racism if you're ridiculously hypersensitive and hate Fox News...

    As someone who likes to rag on black people as much as the next guy, that's not racism.

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a story book, man." - Joe Biden speaking of biracial, teleprompter dependent, B. Hussein Obama

    A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee or a slut who I can ejaculate on and make obscene phone calls to, like Betty Currie did. - Pornographic President Bill Clinton (Okay, I made up part of that sentence. Which part?)

    Americans will vote for B. Hussein O. because he is "light skinned... with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." - Harry Reid
    I don't know what the term is in Austrian.

    I think it's more "Stupid" than racist, but there are a lot of Stupid-Americans, and FOX is their prime source of misinformation...

    Ehhhh...as much as I think Fox is a propaganda machine, I wouldn't call this racism.

    It's lame as hell, but not racist.
