First Lady Michelle Obama is helping raise money for the presidential campaign by doing photo sessions, at $5K a pop. This is completely standard practice, not unusual at all in an election season. But at Fox Nation, the official Fox News forum, it’s the occasion for yet another deluge of vile racism, right out in the open, in your face. Again, we see the deliberately misspelled slurs to avoid racist word filters, numerous comparisons to chimps and other primates, comparisons to “Sasquatch” and “Wookies,” blatant misogyny, and vicious stereotypes about African Americans. And many of the most disgusting comments are rated highly by other users.
Here is the picture that Fox Nation used.
Now please let me warn you that if you have high blood pressure, or a low tolerance for assholes, you might want to skip clicking the "Read more" link.
i can go to the zoo and get my picture taken with a Chimp.. same thing.
Who in the he11 would be stupid enough to pay this Ghetto Queen any money at all to have a picture taken with her ?
Is Michelle Gorilla Cookies off her hormone treatments again?
I’d much rather take my family for a picnic at the zoo and have a family pic taken in front of the primate cage for FREE!
another first for this administration pimpyourwife for money. she would suckoff a aircraft carrier of men in order to keep go on vacations on our dime
There are many, many more at LGF's but this is all that I can stomach.
Now mind you this kind of hate has NOTHING to do with policy decisions, or political ideologies, or ANYTHING that Michelle or Barack have actually done. It is based SOLELY on the color of their skin, and nothing more.
And that my friends is the Fox Nation visitor in a nutshell.
By the way the post is still up over at Fox as you can see for yourself by clicking here. (Of course for some odd reason the comments section is currently closed.)
Now if you will excuse me I think I have to go throw up a little.
I could not click on the link to read more. These people are disgusting, it has been proved that low I.Q. people tend to be racist. I do not want to read their horrible comments anymore than I could listen to Palin screeching. Why are these people so threatened by INTELLIGENT people? People who possess the values they profess to aspire to like "family values","compassionate people" Values most of the racists could never meet.
ReplyDeleteI do have high blood pressure so I was very reluctant to read this. I felt it was my duty to do so. I am going to out these bastards on Twitter. How DARE they? I blame Donald Trump and his ilk.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin could only dream of the accomplishments that Michelle Obama has attained. Sarah could never pass a Law exam nor qualify for Harvard Law School. Sarah can't even recognize a KNOCKOFF NBA T-SHIRT.
ReplyDeleteGRANNY GRIFTER, time to go into hibernation again. Shailey Tripp's book will be for sale on March 4th.
Broker that.
I commented here recently that a FACEBOOK page elicited a barrage of such awful postings.
ReplyDeleteI will conclude a second time: And the rightwing wonders why they are called racists all the time.
So sad......
ReplyDeleteOf course they closed comments. They don't want their "real" fan base outed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking LGF, Gryph. Great blog now.
ReplyDeleteSJP
These FOX viewer are insane. Sometimes Greta throws up a pic of Michelle O. doing something totally nice and posts "Your thoughts..." just to let her readers post the most vile posts about the first lady. Sickening!
ReplyDeleteI see SarahPAC has put up a bunch of photo ops from the 2008 campaign with the caption "Game Change You Can Believe in". Give me a break. She's really scared of this film. hehe
wow!! i tried to read some of the comments...wish i hadn't...need a shower...hope these fuckers get it in the end..(no pun intended)
ReplyDeleteGryph said: "And that my friends is the Fox Nation visitor in a nutshell." And I will add - and this is Sarah Palin the FUX News Queen of the RWNJ's, in a nutshell, also too! Ya see, Bristol, Willow, and Sarah - sane, rational basis and reason for the 99% of Americans absolutely despising the FUX News Queen of Hate!
ReplyDeleteGryph ends up with: "Now if you will excuse me I think I have to go throw up a little." As I said - some of us use well-deserved vitriol, some of us have to throw up, and some of us try to spit out that bitter aftertaste we get after reading or hearing anything about Sarah Palin, and anything associated with her, especially FUX News!
Man, how disgusting can these people be? I'm sure the Bristol, Sarah, Willow troll is rushing over to FUX News right now to tell those commenters how they don't KNOW Michelle Obama, and "exert" an opinion about how hateful their words are.
Sure they are . . . oh wait, didn't the Queen of Hate herself refer to the President of the United States as "Sambo"? Yes, she did! So no - they won't go there and refudiate those monsters - they ARE the monsters. See? I DO know the Palins, et al, very, very well!

A prominent Republican senator just told me that if Romney can’t win in Michigan, the Republican Party needs to go back to the drawing board and convince somebody new to get into the race.
“If Romney cannot win Michigan, we need a new candidate,” said the senator, who has not endorsed anyone and requested anonymity.
The senator believes Romney will ultimately win in Michigan but says he will publicly call for the party to find a new candidate if he does not.
“We’d get killed,” the senator said if Romney manages to win the nomination after he failed to win the state in which he grew up.
“He’d be too damaged,” he said. “If he can’t even win in Michigan, where his family is from, where he grew up.”
What about Rick Santorum?
“He’d lose 35 states,” the senator said, predicting the same fate for Newt Gingrich.
It would have to be somebody else, the senator said. Who?
“Jeb Bush,” the former Florida governor.

It is racism pure and simple, and the fact that Michele O could kick their puny little RW asses if she so choose too!
ReplyDeleteCowards behind keyboards.
*Obama 2012*
I have high blood pressure and a very low tolerance of assholes but like Texas Mel, it was my duty to read the comments.
ReplyDeleteRupert Murdoch: the man who hacked into the phone of a missing and murdered child as well as the phones of soldiers who died in Afghanistan! Yet his site Fox Nation and Fox News permits and encourages this sort of thing every day.
People like Murdoch, Sarah and Todd Palin and the commenters at Fox Nation are birds of a feather and are not fit to open their mouths about FL Michelle Obama, President Obama or their children. OR any other African American or Latino or one else.
It brings tears to my eyes that people as kind hearted, decent, intelligent and classy are publicly attacked like that.
What bothers me most of all is that we as Americans cannot find a way to rid the public airwaves of trash such as Murdoch and Palin. I will just keep hoping that England will stay after Murdoch until there is nothing left of his "empire" and that the good people of Alaska will out the Palins as soon as possible. I realize Sarah didn't comment on that Fox Nation post but she started this hate speech and the dog whistles and she never passes up the chance to show her disrespect for either the President or First Lady.
I read the story directly at Little Green Footballs, and now on top of "Nick & Artie" asking for "the most offensive Lin comments" their listeners can come up with regarding the Linsanity story, you have to wonder:
ReplyDeleteAre a significant segment of our American society really, truly insane? Insane enough to have no filters or brakes on their worst instincts or emotions?
I see people who don't know what 'work' is.
ReplyDeleteThinking someone with no real accomplishment shouldn't be President is not being racist. I love how you ignored that part of Game Change.
ReplyDeleteUGHHHH Democrats are sad people.
Liberal blogs and websites are the only places I actually see racism being discussed. Obama critics simply criticize him for his lack of professional experience and real knowledge. Oh and his inability to speak without a strict script.
ReplyDeleteThe pics really show her ugly soul.

ReplyDeleteLOL she talks what her kids doing, her fans are duped again.
May I comment further and suggest we Boycott all of Fox's Holdings? That means no movies from Fox Studio's, no DVD's. No toys that are tied in with their movies. Contact your cable providers and point out the hate and racism. They won't remove Fox from the line up, but we could make some noise. I usually comment as Anonomous, however, with this issue I could not. The Fox sponsored comments are un-acceptable about ANY PERSON. To know they are about the First Lady is to much. Some of the idiots that commented surely have jobs. Wonder how many of them have black bosses, neighbors. They need to be outed.
ReplyDeleteNo, I will not read more and allow that poison to infect my brain. Just hearing about it makes my blood boil. Ugliness, they name is GOP.I need to go to my happy place.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me, let me guess: These people are also mostly Christians, right? So, Christian and Republican and racist.
ReplyDeleteMay God do unto them as they have done so cruelly unto their fellow human beings. He knows what is in your heart. Do I have that right?
I'm sorry to all the good religious people here, but religion will eventually cause the extermination of the human race (hey, remember we're all ONE race?)
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteWill you please consider writing a post or even an interview with Shailey Tripp, now that her book is coming out? Appreciate that she stays on your blog roll, truly. Just hope you will consider helping promote her new book given the very brave step she is taking. Thank you!
Can they be any more vile?
ReplyDeleteIs each of them now on the "watch list"?

ReplyDeleteI'm officially embarrassed to be a white male American!
Thanks GOP for encouraging this type of behavior by not calling these A-Holes out!
( Yes I'm looking at you Sarah!)
Well this proves that while not all republicans are racists, all racists are republicans. Very sad to see this kind of disgusting 'free speech' in 2012. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLiberal blogs and websites are the only places I actually see racism being discussed. Obama critics simply criticize him for his lack of professional experience and real knowledge. Oh and his inability to speak without a strict script.
ReplyDelete4:49 PM
I know looking in the mirror of the Fox Nation site and its comments is painful, but pulling the old, it's the liberals who are racist canard? Really?
Conservatives have no record, no ideas, no vision. All they have is fear, doom and gloom and of course RACISM. It was all they had in 2008, it's what the Tea Party was built around in 2010. 2012 is going to be more of the same. Witness Sarah's buddy Newton putting Juan Williams 'in his place,' or calling Spanish the language of the ghetto.
In a way I feel sorry for you. I think you are probably some well meaning, lonely, middle-aged Republican with a Sarah Palin crush. You hit the liberal sites to see what they're saying about her while the wife is at book club or knitting class. You have this nagging feeling that maybe she's been leading you on, but it's easier to blame those liberals and their sites you can't seem to stop going to.
It's gonna be alright buddy. Put on some Bobby Bland or T-Model Ford, pour yourself 3 fingers of Black Label and let her go man, let her go...
Didn't read the comments, don't want to.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this is all to the good: let people see how vile some of us can be. These are long-festering thoughts and hates. Maybe saying them out loud lances the boil, relives pressure on the putrid carbuncle of racism.
The Obamas are so able, kind, talented, and secure within themselves that I honestly don't think it bothers them. They already know all about racism. Such comments DO bother the rest of us. And maybe we will vote people with so much hate out of office.
This might be a blessing in disguise. I am hoping so.
You have to keep in mind that these types of commenters are angry uneducated white "crackers" that see blacks usurping them in the job force because these lazy crackers didn't bother to obtain an education. They are fat disgusting shack-dwellers living in rural areas off of food stamps and welfare and drug-dealing. They are afraid of that which they do not understand, and trust me, they do not understand a lot of things. They tend to strike out against all minorities because they've never traveled more than 30 miles from where they were born and know nothing of the world beyond their county. They drive trucks with gun racks and confederate flags in the back window and have those truck horns that play "Dixie". I know, I grew up in a small Virginia town and it was rotten with these types of people and on the rare occasion when I am back east and actually take the time to visit that hellhole these people are still the same fucked up assholes that they were in high school. They were good for nothing except buying weed and pills from when we were teenagers. That's it and then we all pretended that we didn't know each other at school. At times I would feel sorry for some of them because they had the crap beaten out of them by their dads and they were dirt poor, but pity soon turned to scorn when I realized that they had no inclination to "better" themselves or pull themselves out of the muddy, rat-infested ditches that they were born into. Disgusting scum of the earth that will breed lots more of the same.
ReplyDeleteWas that too mean?
;-)
There is a pathology of the modern ultra-radical, theofascist, medievalist, retrograde, neanderthal, knuckle-dragging, ass wipes that comprise the GOP conservative movement.
ReplyDeleteThe one word that most accurately summarizes what these regressive monsters are is simple and true.
The word is EVIL.
I agree with tehah: let's support Shailey's book.
ReplyDeleteAnon@4:49:
ReplyDeleteWell, you're either a liar or completely ignorant, or perhaps both.
The president is "simply criticized for his lack of ...knowledge." Really? You mean you've never heard the cries of "Muslim"! "Marxist!" "Kenyan!" And you've obviously never heard of the charges of an illegitimate birth certificate. How convenient. And he needs a script? You forget that he allowed the Republican caucus to ask him anything, completely unscripted, no pre-screened questions. And he kicked ass.
I am not a christian and if being a vile, ugly racist pig is the price of admission then I'll continue to pass. How can I - someone who doesn't believe in god - have more acceptance and compassion for people of color, gays, women's reproductive rights and the many other social issues of the day than these people who profess to be christian?
ReplyDeleteAs for the comments regarding the First Lady - these people make me feel ashamed of my race and probably my gender. What a bunch of disgusting subhumans and trust me, there's not one of them, not one single one of these fuckers who would dare say those words to her face. That's the power these maggots of humanity have. Let one of them come here and out him or herself, let them go to the White House and speak their words aloud. I am sick to death of this shit and the apologists who come here and claim we are the ones playing the race card. They play their little sideways comments and when they get called they deny, deny, deny. Passive aggressive and cowards to the end. Pieces of shit get more respect from me.
OMG. I opened the link. DO NOT DO THAT. This is NOT what our country stands for. I am sorry, I can not believe this. PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE HERE FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS. Thank you to all of us...
ReplyDeleteSay what you want and spread all the meaningless propaganda you must, but this administration still practices the same wasteful spending as past ones. ie private, expensive parties, unnecessary trips. Obama still had never held a job before this and Michelle had been, what, assistants with businesses that received grants via Obama's Senatorial job.
ReplyDeleteLiberal blogs and websites are the only places I actually see racism being discussed. Obama critics simply criticize him for his lack of professional experience and real knowledge. Oh and his inability to speak without a strict script.
ReplyDelete4:49 PM
====================
Go buy a clue. President Obama (gee you hate that don't you?) was a professor at one of the top schools in the nation. You DO NOT enter a university classroom unless you are able to speak without a script. His highly, highly intelligent students would have eaten him alive.
Then again, I would bet you have never been in a college classroom. It shows.
I agree with most of the commenters here. I am ashamed to be a member of the white race!
ReplyDeleteOn a different note:Gryphen, I wish you could do something about the ads that appear on your blog - I would say,90% are RePUKEliCONS! Right now, there is one that tells you to get rid of the snoops of the communist dictator Obama...
These people are sick. Sarah Palin and the nuts in the Tea Party got away with spewing their hate during the election and the Republican Party went down in the gutter with them.

ReplyDelete@ 6:06PM: uneducated white crackers?
ReplyDeleteThe vile racism that was expressed by the most unexpected people on the Kenai peninsula when President Obama was elected still shocks me to the core.
Fox should be boycotted, and Murkowski, Young, Sullivan and their ilk run out of state.
Our FLOTUS has more class and dignity in her little finger than all of the Valley combined, eh Ben Stevens?

Did you READ the comments? And if it's fair and balanced, why did they take the entire thread off their site? If you want "intellectual racism", try Breitbart or Rush Limbaugh
Liberal blogs don't retract nor delete entire posts and comments.
We have Fox News and people like Sarah Palin, breitbart, to thank for fomenting this level of hate by allowing it to go unchecked at their rallies, speaches, and kkk meethings.
ReplyDeleteThe cowards pulled the entire thread and comments from their site- so they're cowards and racists.
This will help raise more money for Obama.
I also have high blood pressure, and was recently taken off of one of my meds due to kidney failure. So I self-medicated a bit before reading the FN comments. I've read similar comments about Michelle before, so I wasn't too shocked.
ReplyDeleteWhat really has my bp raging is the Palin C-Word at 4:49 who said "Liberal blogs and websites are the only places I actually see racism being discussed". Fuck You bitch. You're a fucking KKK apologist pretending those comments weren't racist.
On second thought, maybe you're right. Liberal blogs are the only places racism is discussed. "Conservative" (read: racist) blogs and websites are the only places racism is practiced.
I'm often disappointed at some of the hateful comments about you Palin "ladies" regarding promiscuousness. I'd like to think we're better than that. Other than that, you unbelievably hateful people deserve all the vitriol coming your way.
Sarah, we know you're just doing another political prick tease because your PAC only made 6 figures in the last two q's. You are a despicable person for soliciting donations from "rill merikuns" to maintain the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed. You and your attention-whore daughters need to get out of the public eye, before the rest of your dirty secrets come out.
Sorry for the rant, Gryphen and fellow IM'ers. But that 4:49 comment pisses me off so bad I honestly think I might have a stroke if I read any more Palin comments.
These people are a bunch of losers. For some reason they identified with the fictional character portrayed by President Bush as a good ole boy and felt he was one of them. If the President were an Asian, Hispanic, Jew, etc. the hatred would still be flowing. But it hardly matters. There are fewer of them than us. Let's just shake our heads and ignore them. They are worthless.
ReplyDelete4:47, 4:49 and 7:05 pm. President Obama has done an extraordinary job under pressures that no other American president has had to endure: the total lack of cooperation of the opposition party and the vicious racism of the lower echelons of the media (that means Fox News). He and Mrs. Obama have brought dignity and character to the White House, something that was sorely missing while George W. Bush was president. Oh, and if you want to talk about deficits, look at the charts on the internet showing which presidential administrations have created the largest amount of debt - all Republican. I am a retired white woman and I am so proud that the Obamas are living in the White House and I fully support keeping them there for the next four years. OBAMA in 2012!

1) That's because you have no problem with being racist. You probably read those comments about the First Lady of the United States and thought hey those are just harmless opinions.
2) If that is why the President is criticized, his critics are idiots (see links below).
3) So stupid on your part. The President, as you should know, mopped the floor with the Republicans during a meeting over health care reform. He is known as an excellent speaker, and as a speech writer, except by racist fools like you, who are either too stupid or too racist to acknowledge that EVERY public speaker in modern times uses a teleprompter.

Your racism is in top form here. You are ignorant or a liar or a racist or all three. In regard to the President's job history and to the First Lady's,
I dare you to look up the past professional experience of the President and the First Lady. By the way, the First Lady had assistants, she wasn't the assistant.
You wouldn't, you couldn't. You just can't stand that they are smarter, more educated, more experienced, more cultured, more patriotic, better Christians, than you and your drooling ilk could ever be.

Racism and low IQ go hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteIt is so angering to read such comments. What I have to do is remind myself that whoever the cretin is who is writing such filth, Mrs. Obama remains the woman who resides in the White House, has an accomplished background, is married to a man of overpowering intellect and achievements, has two lovely children who also have a loving grandmother that lives with them, and is working on one of the most important social issues of our time, solving the widespread epidemic of obesity.
ReplyDeleteIn short, she's getting things done. She doesn't have time to concern herself, so I try to brush it off, too. (It's hard, though.)
When the trolls say "Obama never held a job" they REALLY mean "None of the jobs he held count because he is black" and of course in their minds, no black person ever accomplishes anything without an "affirmative action" handout. It's so cute that they think we can't see this...
