FOX: Stop the smears
See this? FOX smears Obama

Hi,

FOX's smears against Obama are out of control--have you heard about them? I just signed a petition telling FOX that their use of racism and prejudice is not okay. Would be great if you signed too.

First, a paid FOX commentator accidentally confused "Obama" with "Osama" and then joked on the air about killing Obama. Next, a FOX anchor said a playful fist pound by Barack and Michelle Obama could be a "terrorist fist jab." (Seriously!) And then, FOX called Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"--slang used to describe the unmarried mother of a man's child.

Nearly 100,000 folks have signed a petition that will be delivered to FOX. Can you sign too? The more names, the bigger the impact. Here's the link.

Thanks!

1. Just signed it, proud2Blib!
I included this message:

Stop the smear campaign against Senator Obama, NOW!!!

Sorry I didn't make it to the last "Second Saturday" meeting. I'll try to be there next month! :hi:

Are you going to the Rep. Dennis Moore "official opening" of his campaign office on July 5th?

4. I wasn't invited
Moore doesn't like me.

But send me the details. I think we should prepare a fitting welcoming. :)

Hey check this out - from a DFA member to Moore:

2. When Fox "confuses" Obama" with Osama" it is no accident
Republican PR does NOTHING by accident.

Those times it showed some disgraced Republican politician with a "D-" in
front of their names, it was no accident, either.

When you bump the car behind you while parking, it is an accident. When you
drive your car off a cliff, it is not an accident.

3. I had no idea the connotation in the Obama's baby mama...wow how
extremely over the top...I thought it was an endearment, like Obama was a baby to Michelle, and they (faux) were just calling him a baby..wow was I off the mark!!
