Exuse me while I barf, but Fox News' latest installment in their non stop race baiting news agenda is a poll about Obama's handling of race relations. Naturally, 37 percent of respondents believe Obama has done a bad job of handling the issue, particulary the Shirley Sherrod controversy. Of course this number is less than half of the country, and coincides with the number of hard core Republicans in the country, but that has not stopped them from sensationalizing the results to attack the president.
Fox News has been at the forefront of a movement to foment racial animosity in the country ever since Obama announced he was running for president. Most recently, they aired doctored video of USDA worker Shirley Sherrod to distort her speech on racial reconciliation, portraying her as a racist, leading to her firing. They used their network to give a national platform to the tea party movement which prominently featured vomitous signs attacking the president's race, fictitious Kenyan national origin, and mysteriously absent birth certificate in an attempt to discredit and politically damage him.
They have coddled right wing extremists intent on stoking fear and violence against the president and other minorities in the country and actively support race baiting candidates. They no longer even pretend to be a news network, preferring instead to devote much of their programming to pressing a corporate, right wing extremist and white supremacist agenda.
After all that Fox News has done to provoke a racial backlash and race war in the country, they now dare to question the president's handling of race relations. The reality is that Fox News is intent on pushing the notion that a black president is incapable, by virtue of being black, of being and effective president. Under a black president armed white supremacists will roam the streets along with Black Panther extremists provoking violent confrontations between the races.
Under Obama reparations to minorities will be handed out through various government initiated programs. Whites will be victimised amd penalized for real or imgagined acts of racial discriminination. The US borders will be unmanned and millions of brown people, over 30 million, according to the Minute Men, will stream into the country unchecked to feed at America's welfare and health care trough. Under Obama, illegal brown people will be trolling the country, requiring law enforcement to stand at very street corner, pulling over very car, raiding very home to cleanse the country of these insiduous enemies of the state. Are you scared enough yet?
