You gotta see it to believe it. Fox News, while discussing attacks on Michelle Obama, flashes the phrase “quit picking on Obama’s baby Mama” several times.
A “Baby Mama” is a woman who has children with a man who was not and is not her husband.
This isn’t some neutral slam that applies to everyone. There’s no way in hell Fox News would call Cindy McCain or Laura Bush a “baby mama”. Hell, I doubt they’d even call Hillary Clinton a “baby mama”.
Why? Because all three of those women are white, not black. You simply do not call a white woman a “baby mama”. Who cares if they’re actually baby mamas – it’s an insult and you do not do it.
And no, Fox News calling Michelle this is not the same as Michelle introducing her husband as “my baby’s daddy” so don’t even try it. She’s saying “my child’s father”. Fox news is not saying “Obama’s child’s mother”.

While the Fox News comment is entirely offensive to Mrs. Obama, I’d sooner say that the comment was a bit of novice journalism that decided to use a little rhyming word play to spice up the headline than a meditated racial slur.
I think this is a little too subtle for Fox News. If they really wanted to “attack” her, they’d be a little more upfront about it.
Fox = retard = republican = low lifes and assholes. Nothing new there.
Was that wrong, should I not have said that?
Please FOX, you know what you said and presumably you have an editor. (hurrr, me know English)
I’m pretty impressed with Michelle and she’s handling herself well. It’s not an easy spot to be in but fortunately the trail was already cut by Hillary. FOX news is still steaming about that apparently. If you think Obama is a good speaker, you need to know he thinks she’s even better than himself. Can we elect her?
