    Fox News is a bunch of the most racist people, and i don't care what anyone says, this was a racial slur.

      It most definitely was N2N. Just like the "Terrorist Fist Jab" last week. This network thrives off race baiting, and has since the day it launched.

      FOX News is horrible in almost every way, but this doesn't seem that bad to me. Was Tina Fey's movie racist? I just don't see that much offensive in the term, though I am sure it was intended that way and it's obviously insensitive. But, FOX does much worse every day (see terrorist fist jab, etc). And remember, Michelle referred to Barack as her "baby's daddy" on the night he won his Senate seat in 2004.

        I apologise for the neg. I was thinking about my favorite restaurant to visit while in Nashville after seeing your name and hit the wrong button.

      Bill Orielly and Fox News are Far from fair and balanced.

      Dan 'the Liar' Rather would fit right in with Orielly and hanatiy...

      Fox News, what a one sided Disgrace....

        I am a conservative, and have myself on many occasions not agreeing with Oreilly, so how does he fit with some type of agenda when I don't agree with him all the time? I would rather support a network that at least tries to give both sides of the issue than the alphabet channels that are truly liberal. I will give Bill credit on this, he was extremely fair to both clinton and obama during this race. He was right that the press sold out for obama and snubbed hillary. Not that I personally care, but was impressed with that type of non-biased reporting. Apparently you have a hard time figuring out what type of reporting is biased. How come you aren't angry at NBC for their one sided disgrace, or Chris Matthews who is so infatuated with Obama that after one of his speeches he said oh how great the speech was and how handsome he looked. pitiful

        More BS from the ultra liberal scouts here at nutscape.

        I seem to remember Michelle calling Obama her babys daddy not too long ago, what was she going the Imus route as well?

        What about Obama who called a white man a cracker in his book? (page 229 of Dreams of My Father)

        Gonna own up to Obama's OBVIOUS racism or defend it?

            Their ratings show that.

          So FOX isn't allowed to refer to Barack and Michelle the way they refer to themselves?

          Another reason why Barack should NEVER be president.

            I don't pretend to be an expert on(nor a fan of) rap culture. However, I'm sure I've heard rap songs where a man is referred to as "my baby daddy". The poster who wrote about Kfed being referred to as whatshername's "baby daddy" is accurate.

            And I *know* I read a transcript where Michelle Obama referred to Barack as "my baby's daddy".

            This is not racism. It's idiotic speech syntax going mainstream. We should all try to do better than this.

              I shudder to think what's to come if Obama is elected. The rap thugs at his inauguration, the spinner rims on the Presidential limo, repainting rooms in the White House purple, lowering Air Force One and installing "boom box" speakers so when flying it goes, "boom-boom-bip-de-boom-boom thump" all across the sky, the further dumbing down of our schools so everyone can understand Ebonics....and having the most angry, racist First Biotch in history....

              What are you people crying about? I found it funny though the gist of the commentary dealt with where the attacks are really coming from and who's being blame. Something I read out here in nutscape all the time.

                This convinces me more than ever that a lot of my fellow Caucasians are frightened to death by a strong black woman. I think Michelle is great.

                  Some of them are pretty scary. I just ran into my ex girlfriends momma at Publix. She said my ex just caught her current boyfriend cheating and stabbed him in the back with a screwdriver.

                    Michelle Malkin is Asian. Did you think she had a tan?

                    And, yeah, I think she's great, too.

                      If Rice were to run, I would be first in line to vote for her. And if you don't think she is a strong black woman, you have to be insane. If you think she is an uncle Tom, you are a racist.

                    IN 2005 I was saying that she should run this year. I was very disappointed when she did not. (I think "President Condi" sounds great)

                    Ooh, what about a Jindal/Rice ticket in 2012??? How freaking bad ass would that be?
