lol… wow.
I was, unfortunately, watching Fixed, I mean, Fox News when they played this segment. And let me just tell you, this liberal WAS outraged. HOW DARE THEY disrespect the WIFE of the man who could be the future President of the United States. To belittle this bright and wonderful person by labeling her in this derogatory fashion is completely heinous. I will never understand how people can watch Fox Noise after they’ve perpetrated this slur on Michelle Obama’s good name.
I think the only mainstream news source that is independent, as in, not corporately owned, is the BBC. So, Fox News may be the worst of the worst, but every news station and paper has corporate ownership. Which means, they only tell you what they want you to hear, in favour of whomever is on the Board of Directors for that media station.
That’s correct as far as it goes. It rather falls down when you assume that the BBC doesn’t have politically or ethnic/religious/nationally biased reporting just because it’s not owned by a business.
Fox News wins. Liberals BAAWWWWWW.
Political commentary FAIL.
BAAWWWWWWWWW
Repugs are the ones who are crying. Desperate and sad, the repugs are sailing the good ship Fail to the great shores of Failure. They know they’ve lost, and the only people left supporting and defending them are complete failures themselves. Anyone with half a brain has jumped ship.
Have fun watching McFail lose miserably!
anyone with half a brain sees that leftwing and rightwing are the same bird
Who said anything about McDonald’s XD
fcking McCain
In case you have not noticed, the far right is in a state of panic; a democrat controlled Congress, an incoming democrat president, and a Supreme Court that won’t side with them on issues ranging from a woman’s right to choose to deigning detainees at Guantanamo Bay access to civilian courts. They thought with “W” the days of glory were finally here, but their party sank with the USS George Bush.
So I love to see their comments like this “Baby Momma” and screaming at the top of their lungs every lie they can think of (“Obama is a Muslim! He made his senate oath on the Koran! etc) — their racism will finally expose them for the frauds they are.
I don’t believe you completely grasp the views of the majority of Republicans. Or of the current state of affairs.
Well Larrikin, most Republicans I’ve heard from in the last few years want nothing better than to turn America into a rich, white, conservative Christians only club.
You say that like the left is any better. The whole system is broken, yet we keep flinging parts of it at each other like it really matters any more. Half a turd is still a turd.
Oh noes… Republican logic strikes again: We are politicians and we are a bunch of morons. Dems are politicians and by extension they must be morons, too. Therefore you should not vote for the Dems.
No. You shouldn’t vote for either of them. Both Dems and GOPs are stupid and corrupt. Perhaps voting for a third party candidate who actually matches one’s beliefs, ever think about that one, Einstein? Ya know, how our country was suppose to work. Voting your conscience and not your party. I guess we can never go back to 1776. Ah, well.
Yes, I did think of that one and I think it is a good idea. Only that this is not how the argument is usually used.
Oh like Ralph Nader? Yeah, he’s been a real successful president….
Voting your conscience is all well and good until the Electoral College steps in and does things their way in spite of the voters.
Just want to say, its the Quran not the Koran, btw.
Just want to say, they’re both correct (Quran and Koran), but “its” should be “it’s”, with the apostrophe.
Heh
Erm, I think that technically it’s Qur’an. Jus’ sayin’, since you’re gettin’ all technical ’bout the apostrophe…

I may be idiot (or maybe it’s because I don’t speak english good enough), but I didn’t understand…
Some silly rhyming. ‘Baby Mama’ is slang for ‘partner, girlfriend, wife,’ and more.
I’m sure most of the people on here haven’t (as I haven’t) watched this clip in context to see for sure, but I’m fairly certain it was no more than some catchy headline.
Actually, “Baby Mama” is a term used for someone who has simply given birth to a man’s child and is not in a current relationship with them. Not a girlfriend and certainly not a wife.
That is why everyone is upset. It is beyond disrespectful. I don’t think YOU completely grasp the things you like to talk a lot about.
Thanks for your answers
At last someone explains for the non-Americans! Fox news should be punished.
I’m an American. And I know what this means. It does connote no relationship/marriage, but that is not the annotation – and if you need to look up those words, at least you won’t be posting on this site for a few minutes.

*ahem*
…which makes it OK! Right?(wing)
Oh yeah, and Fox News is NOT a right wing mouthpiece. *eyeroll*
It’s actually Fox News making fun of Michelle Obama. When Barrack won his race for the U.S. Senate in 2004, Michelle actually introduced Barrack by calling him “My babies daddy.”
THIS
I didn’t know she said that in 2004.
Hmm….So maybe it wasn’t best idea by Fox News. I’m not saying it was, but why are people so upset by “baby mama”? If it’s implying he’s fathered illegitimate children, what does “baby’s daddy” imply? Sounds like the same thing to me.
Just my two cents.
There’s a difference between Michelle Obama speaking of her husband as a father and Fox news referring to her with a term that in the black community is well known to mean the mother of a child a man has fathered without benefit of wedlock and who isn’t his current girlfriend.
To refer to a woman who might become first lady of the land as if she just had casual sex with a man and had children by him is VERY insulting in the black community.
I don’t know if Fox was trying to be “hip” and didn’t understand the term or way being disrespectful. Either way it’s a huge fail, and dredging up a term Michelle Obama used to introduce her husband does not make what Fox did “OK”.
Got it now?
Seconded.
And it’s not like it was the only time Fox News attempted to make an offensive slur that sneakily racist. Calling a congratulatory gesture between Michelle and Barak Obama a “terrorist bump” comes to mind as well. There was a third incident that happened at around the same time the escapes me right now. Fox News and its supporters like to pretend that this was no big deal anyone who knows what the term means (and don’t think for one minute that they didn’t) knows that it was offensive both to her race and her gender.
In an ironic turn of events, while debating whether or not it is fair attack Michelle Obama, Fox News used an inaccurate slur to describe her as the unwed mother of Barack Obama’s children. Stay classy fox; keep up the good journalism!
As a matter of fact, she brought this upon herself by referring to _herself_ as one… as you can see in a previous comment I just saw, in 2004.
The previous comment states that she referred to her husband as “My baby’s daddy” (spelling corrected); nothing referring to herself at all.
That’s the ‘previous comment’ referred to by TheLarrikin, not TheLarrikin’s comment, which was previous to the comment previous to this one
Ok… I’m confused. :S
And it was not “baby’s daddy” – it was “baby daddy”, which validates the use of the term ‘of’ her – not ‘against’ her.
God! I hate Michelle Malkin! FOX NEWS: “Let’s get racial minorities to say horribly racist things. It makes it sound more believable!” BAH!
They never would have said that about Hillary Clinton (or any other white lady, for that matter). As a woman, I find that incredibly insulting for her. Can’t you just imagine someone putting on a sassy black woman head-shaking-finger-waving attitude?
She did it to herself. See the previous comments. Thanks.
It has nothing to do with race. Drop it, people. Please.
No she didn’t. She (apparently, according to the previous comments cited) referred to her husband as “my baby’s father”. That is not even remotely equivalent to referring to herself as *his* “baby mama”, and I for one am not prepared to accept for one moment that anyone who didn’t just fall out of a tree can’t see the distinction, the gender- and racial- political connotations and hence the implied insult. Mel’s point stands: would they say it about a white woman in the same context? Would they heck as like!
A white person of the same standing, who referred to herself in the same manner, would be referred to as this, if the situation arose. If not by Fox, then by some other news station.
Go back and listen to the actual audio of that speech she gave in 2004. The quote is “…my baby’s daddy.” Racial connotations or not, she DID say it.
And to answer the comments about how this report is biased because it’s using a quote from 2004 that may or may not mean what it’s being portrayed to mean, how is this any different than the recent Spanish language ad trying to link McCain and Rush Limbaugh (who have tangled over and over again about immigration) by using a quote from 1993 that is lifted knowingly and completely out of context? At least this quote was used in context.
But as this pge of comments has shown, that tongue in cheek comment she made about her husband years ago does not seem to be general knoledge. And Fox would know that their viewers would mostly not know about it. So I dont think they were being jokey. They were being casually racist.
Then people need to learn to pay attention. If anyone, Fox watchers _would_ know that over others, simply to use as ‘ammunition’. It’s the same with people who would watch other news channels.

MSNBC’s David Shuster said the Clinton’s were pimping Chelsea for the campaign. Does that count?
ouch. on the news?
that’s my winner of worst word of the year – everyone uses it so casually it makes me sick.
Yes TheLarrikin, it has nothing to do with race because you’ve decided that. Thank you, now please send the memo to Faux News. Hey America – TheLarrikin says this has nothing to do with race! Cindy McCain is a baby mama, too! So is Clinton! It’s OKAY to call a senator’s wife his baby mama on NATIONAL TV when you’re a NOOZ STATION!
Thanks, man, you TOTALLY set me straight here.
It has to do with her reference to her husband as her ‘baby daddy’. Pay attention – there’s no apostrophe-s after ‘baby’ in her transcript. It’s fair to use ‘baby mama’, because it’s the inverse of her original statement.
Thanks for playing.
1st – ALL HAIL THE NECROPOST!
2nd – I have a dream – that one day every woman related to politics that has borne children be referred to equally as “baby mamas,” because it is fair and respectful, and all women in politics deserve to be treated with fairness and respect?
BTW. W’s baby mama? Totally hot for her age, but she could do with some rawkin’ highlights.
See? Haha, it’s fun, AND fair!
It’s totally racist!
sometimes i wonder what kind of head injury michelle malkin received in her past. then i realize i don’t give a shit because she’s a glorified bag lady.
What whiners! Racist? Get a grip. Can’t mention his race, because that would be, uh, racist; can’t mention his wife because…? Racist? Hardly. Can’t mention his middle name (Hussein) because…? Racist? Can’t mention his utter lack of political experience, because…, uh, racist? Right again! If he wants to play in this game, he’d better get a thicker skin – and some credibility.
Well said. *applause* It’s also worth noting that Colin Powell, while refraining from endorsing anyone, says Barack Obama is perfectly qualified to be president, and he was the only member of the Bush administration that ever had two iotas of common sense.
Other members of the Bush administration that expressed a single iota of common sense were expelled before they could express another sensible iota. Powell was harder to fire than most in the administration.
Few, if any, others in the inner circles even tried to express anything sensible. Most of those that were ejected for sensibility were generals, appointees, staff members, and other folks relatively remote from W and Cheney.
word, IPG. And thank you.
As for the lack of political experience, he IS a senator, he does have some experience.
Ooooh, Steve. You’re angry. And wrong, but still angry.
High quality jouralism: ur doin it wrong!!
People need to stop taking two phrases of Michelle Obama’s out of context and demonizing her. There was all sorts of feminist ire about sexism against Hillary Clinton, where’s that ire for the sexism and racism against Michelle Obama? Michelle, as a smart, educated, independent and classy woman is much more representative of what American women are and aspire to be than Mrs. Botox-Zombie, no pupils McCain.
Ummm… classy? If calling for the indiscriminate incarceration of people from Muslim countries is classy, then I want no part of it. (BTW, by that logic she’d end up in a camp herself. The Phillipines has a substantial Muslim population and an Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist group. Who’s to say that she wasn’t secretly bred as an Abu Sayyaf mole?)
Um. read more carefully.
My whole paragraph was talking about Michelle OBAMA, not Michelle Malkin. Malkin is a disgrace to our country, Obama meanwhile, has never made any such racist, bigoted statements, despite what conservative bloggers try to tell us.
Although, Ignatz has an excellent point about Michelle MALKIN’s hypocrisy and kant.It is really sad how a not white woman tries so hard to demonize people who are not white. She must really hate herself.
Now that’s just funny.
The level of journalistic integrity at FOX is stunning, not to mention their adherence to the journalistic code of ethics. This makes me want to vomit. Murrow is rolling over in his grave…again.
Yeah, because Fox News is the source that published obviously falsified military records on a presidential candidate.
No, wait. That was that bastion of journalistic integrity, CBS.
Maybe they’re the news outlet that, after discovering that one of their reporters was publishing intentionally false articles, protected him for YEARS until they got caught and were forced to hang him out to dry.
No, wait. That was “All The News That’s Fit To Print!”
Steve nailed it perfectly. Murrow IS in permanent rotisserie mode.
And everytime I turn on CNN, I want to vomit. I am not saying that FOX is unbiased. There isn’t a single news channel out there that isn’t pushing its own agenda. It is nice to have a channel present the other side, however.
FOX is pretty tame and mainstream these days. Unfortunately, the dinosaur media (NBC, ABC, WaPost, etc.) have so completely abandoned any semblance of impartiality that Murrow is in permanent rotisserie mode.
I hate to be a douche, but last time i checked, this is america, and if you don’t like what FOX news or any other news station is saying, you dont have to watch it. Go watch NBC or something. The people over there at NBC do a good job making sure everything is politically correct for everyone out there with sensitive ears.
It appears to me that all Pundit Kitchen is becoming is a way for Libs to get back at the conservatives when they are upset. This lol isn’t even that funny. I bet it wouldn’t have even gotten good votes if it weren’t for the PC Liberals.
Just because they are the only real right-wing media channel out there doesn’t mean it’s fiction.
And if you seriously think it is, I doubt all the left-wing channels are any less guilty.
The fact that it’s the only news channel that’s reporting things inconsistent with other news stations makes it fiction. They are not immune from whistle blowers simply because they’re reporting unpopular news, either.
Fox News prolly shouldnt have put that up on the screen. However, it isnt racist. Not even close. Nor did Malkin even say it. Someone behinds the scenes put that up there. And probably as a joke, referring back to the comment she made and tying in the libs who dont like it that she is criticized.
If shes going to be campaigning for her husband, she fair game for criticism. Bill was fair game as he campaigned for Hillary. Why should Michelle be any different? If McCains wife starts campaigning for him, then shes fair game too.
FAUX news.
Except it’s not pronounced that way. Therefore, it’s not funny. It’s french – people should know french things are never funny.
um, this is from the Onion

The fact that it’s the only news channel that’s reporting things inconsistent with other news stations makes it fiction. They are not immune from whistle blowers simply because they’re reporting unpopular news, either.
Or it means that they’re getting it right and everyone else isn’t means the other MSM stations are reporting according the their own standard agenda. FN isn’t pure as the driven snow, but they are definitely more objective than the rest of the MSM.
Cough..Gasp.. Srsly? No Fawking Way. FN is the MOST biased news outlet of the MSM, bar none.
No, Fox News is the LEAST biased mainstream outlet in America.
That’s why the liberals hate them so much.
You have GOT to be kidding. ONLY conservatives say that. They have been caught making things up and HEAVILY slanting what they report time and again over the past few year. Not to even get into the fact that it is technically an illegal news outlet (or at least was when it started).
How can a news outlet be illegal?
All the mainstream media have been caught making things up and heavily slanting their reports. REmember Dan Rather and the fake memo? What about the New York Times and its refusal to cover the John Edwards infidelity story, even though it slimed John McCain on its front page?
Fox is no worse than any other mainstream outlet. Its only sin is that it slants to the right while ALL the others slant to the left.
Because at the time of its founding, it was illegal for a major US media outlet (possibly TV only, I can’t remember) to be owned by a foreign party. That has since been changed (at least for Fox), by the FCC.
yes. faux news shows its true colors again and again. “real” journalism at its finest.
I just ran across this blog page. Apparently a lot of liberals do not know the difference between new anchors and general commentators. If Fox is not balanced, why on earth would they have someone like Allen “the world’s dumbest Liberal” Colmes on with Sean Hannity? He is a totally brain washed liberal.Fox gives both sides of the spectrum. Their news anchors are totally unbiased. MSNBC’s news people are the equvilent of paid staff for Obama. The reason most liberals do not like Bill O’Rielly is because he asks people like Obama direct meaningful questions and won’t let them avoid direct answers by spinning the facts. If liberals can’t lie or hide their true beliefs they can’t win elections.
They picked him because he WAS the world’s dumbest liberal. The dumb ones make excellent straw men.
Fox News: We fix your news the way we like it~
Whether one thinks this is racist or not, it is still highly inapproriate.
bitter troll does not understand why this is a big issue, fox won the legal right to lie in a court of law. freedumb of speech for everyone.
Wow. Fox News is horrible for this.
liberal fail, as far as i’m concerned.
Yes, bashing each others political parties with DEFINITELY take care of the problem! So keep up the super duper work, you guyses!
…
In all seriousness, yes, they screwed up, yes, it’s inappopriate, but we don’t need to keep hating on ‘em for it! Whatever happened to being upset and then MOVING ON? The past is the past- try *forgiving*, y’all!
(and, for the record, I am neither Republican nor Democrat!)
Well…when the president has made a routine of apologizing to enemies (past and present) of the United States, ignoring important days such as Victory in Japan Day and Armistice Day because they’re “unfortunate periods in history”, and talking about “who’s ass to kick” and how the “entire staff of Fox News are jackasses and Nazis”, then I think I and everyone else have every right to criticize openly and fairly.
The example is correct, the second is paraphrasing out of context, and the third is and outright lie. Also, accusing somebody of being a Socialist Communist who isn’t American isn’t criticism, it’s pandering.
Were these comments from “Outraged Liberals” taken during a Jerry Springer show? Sheesh.
Actually looking back over the years, the real mistake we made was choosing to go Independent and loosing reasonable voices in both parties.
When all the citizens walked to non-participating members of parties, we created a void that allowed even further infiltration of money in campaigns now won exclusively with advertising dollars.
And a lie told during the campaign that cannot be proved until after the election is even better than the truth.
