Dear Roger Ailes,
I was outraged to learn about Fox News' aggressive use of irresponsible language and racist stereotypes in coverage of Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama. From E.D Hill's "terrorist fist jab" comment to demeaning Mrs. Obama's role as wife and mother by demoting her to "Obama's baby mama," Fox continues to malign the progress, politics and personalities of Black America.
Fox has developed a pattern of airing racially offensive attacks, then apologizing only after controversy erupts. Forced, half-hearted apologies do not demonstrate good faith when the larger pattern of offensive rhetoric continues. Fox has a serious problem with using race as a divisive tool. Your network must find a solution to address racial stereotyping and hate-mongering before it hits the airwaves.
What new changes will Fox News make to ensure the integrity of its coverage? This is a question you should be able to answer immediately. Throughout this election campaign, and beyond, I intend to hold you, your network, its advertisers and personalities accountable for any further attempts to undermine the Obamas, Black institutions and other Black Americans by preying on prejudice, ignorance and racial division.
Signed,
[Your name]

Helen,
Great! I doubt it will have an impact on Fox "coverage," but it might make other news, and help tone down the Muslim and panther bs the right have been lying about.
Fatboy Gecko, what is the reason John Edwards is cheating on his cancer stricken wife? Is he frustrated? Horny? Lonely? Titillated by the thrill of the hunt? C'mon, gimme some of that Fatboy insight into relationships and explain Edwards' infidelity.
As Obama would say, I'm all ears.

Personal attacks and posting off topic? Don't you delete and edit for that?
Meatloaf, you should ask McLAME about why men seek nooky elsewhere when the wife is bed ridden. He's guilty of the same. Big difference is McLAME is on the ticket. Edwards is not. What you accuse the left of doing is exactly what you are doing. Can you say, "hypocrite"?
Take your ears down to your neighborhood gay bar. Maybe a kind gentleman will make love handles out of them.
Meatloaf,
I didn't slur gays. I was making fun of you. Idiot.
Now, why would I defend a man who cheats on his sick wife. There is no defense for it.
You won't advertise your blog here. And you won't post others personal info on MY blog. Got that, Meatloaf? Good boy.
Now, would you like to defend the Republican presidential candidate for cheating on his wheelchair bound wife?
Cmon, Meatloaf. I dare ya.
As for "Republican presidential candidate for cheating on his wheelchair bound wife." I am not sure what you are talking about. Not heard that allegation. But I deal in facts, not liberal urban legends or conspiracy theories. So unless you have legitimate news sources other than the likes of HuffPo or Kos, we have nothing to discuss.
Edwards is done. He's the ambulance chasing lightweight conservatives always knew he was. Cheating on a wife with terminal cancer just cements his position as a low life. A perfect Democrat candidate. I encourage Big Skinny to choose him for VP.
One more thing, Cindy McCain's addiction to prescription pain meds is not uncommon. hundreds of thousands of Americans end up addicted to pain medication after a severe injury or invasive surgery. Just ask " Just Ain't Right." She knows all about addiction.
Hey GR, here's an article on the petition delivery by Nas, etc.
Color of Change & Colbert
The Colbert part is awesome. I think he devoted a good chunk of his show to this. 620,000 signatures telling FauxNoise to stop the racism... so awesome.
Meatloaf: Your new monicker is based on the fact that you look like the "rock" singer of the same name, who gave us such hits as... Hell, he had no hits. Also, Greco-Roman is a style of wrestling where one attempts to throw his opponent to the ground (I wrestled in college). I haven't had an Oreo, red meat, or even frozen chicken in over 20 years. And I own my home, thankyouverymuch, don't owe a penny on it. This so-called gay slur you whine about is in reality a joke that a gay co-worker told me. He also has one about putting a quarter behind your ear to make your front teeth fold back. Gay men aren't as PC as you crying conservatives.
I won't tell another blogger how to run her site. I've already seen where she asked you to leave her blog in Dec 2005. In May or June 2006 someone called her a bitch in heels on your PG-13 blog that your daughters read. You were so proud you repeated it on her blog. In July, 2006 you were still on her blog threatening her business and harassing her clients. You started posting her real name, her business url, and pics not taken from her blog. This year you say she visited your site telling you to, "stay the fuck off my blog". Just like you post her personal info here, you have done it at her blog. So another of your comments will be deleted. Much like the average household pet, conservatives only learn through constant repetition. Karl Rove admitted this years ago.
To your undeleted comment I say this: You take Fox and The National Enquirer as legitimate sources? I must admit, there is little difference in these sources, but neither are at all legitimate. Take these:

Checkmate, Meatloaf. The difference between us is: You step up and put it in. I put it in and step up. Now, go outside and play. Get some damn exercise or something.
HPW,
Hah! Damn that's funny. Colbert ripped Fox a new one. He's the king of satire. Fox is nothing but propaganda written and read by racists, sexists, homophobes and ugly rednecks. Real news is read by us gorgeous rednecks and liberal women with beautiful faces.
I was listening to O'Liely on the way home yesterday and he was espousing Fox poll(ution) numbers. Talk about unreliable figures. Where do these jerks at Fox come up with this nonsense.
I see cj is still wasting your space. Guy's a real jerk, to say the least.
Porchwise,
It's becoming more and more obvious that Faux makes up the stats and poll results that never mesh with reputable polls. Aren't they pathetic?
