The knuckle-draggers at Fox News at it again. This time they are referring to Barack Obama's wife as "Obama's Baby Mama."
Watch for yourself
Fox officials said there wasn't a problem because the words were never spoken. Gee, that's a relief.
Joan Walsh, a columnist from Salon.com, criticized the graphic on as a slur, according to the AP.
"Do you try to explain that `baby mama' is slang for the unmarried
mother of a man's child, and not his wife, or even a girlfriend?" Walsh
wrote. "Are they racist, or just clueless? Isn't there racism even in
their cluelessness, if somebody didn't know what `baby mama' means, but
used it anyway? Even at Fox, won't somebody have to apologize?" No doubt everyone at Fox had a good laugh. Accuracy isn't so important there when the goal is to keep Obama on the defensive. Mission accomplished. -- Jim Grinstead
