Here Comes the Parade

"Brace yourselves for a whole lot of ugly comin' at you from a never ending parade of stupid." Hairspray
Fox News has refered to Michelle Obama as Barack's "baby mama" and suggested that the first bump the Obama's did the night he clinched might be a "terrorist fist jab." Seriously.

"Calling Michelle Obama a “baby mama” isn’t just Fox News having a happy casual larf; it’s using urban slang to a) remind you the Obamas are black, b) belittle a woman of considerable personal accomplishment, and c) frame Barack Obama’s relationship to his wife and children in a way that insults him, minimizes his love for and commitment to his family, and reinforces stereotypes about black men. Someone at Fox News just ought to call Barack Obama “boy” at some point so we can have all the cards right out there on the table," - John Scalzi (as quoted by Andrew Sullivan)

Of course they won't come out and say it. They'll just be content to lead the parade.

The woman who called it a terrorist fist jab was supposedly fired.
