NASTY FOX NEWS TELLS A$$ HOLE STEVE DOOCY TO CUT MIKE ON A GUEST THAT WAS BACKING OBAMA
AT 3:05 You can here the producer says "cut his mic"
What Faux News was expecting was a hatchet job on Obama. When it didn't quite work out that way, they cut Papatonio off. In All FAUX NEWS CAN GO TO HELL WHERE THEY BELONG!!
The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way.
Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papatino tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s.
F&F's Steve Doocy told Papatonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike."
As Papatonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off.
"This is not the History Channel," he says.
Papatonio's apparent crime was interrupting fellow guest Michael Reagan, the conservative radio host, who was arguing that it would be unfair to judge McCain based on his actions 20 years ago.
"It has everything to do with what's happening today," Papatonio said before being told to pipe down.
Regardless of whether Papatonio was being rude, preserving an orderly debate certainly could not have been Doocy's goal in silencing the guest. Not two minutes before his admonition that Papatonio was "being rude," Doocy repeatedly interrupted his guest to deliver talking points that might as well have been written by the McCain campaign.
At least three times Doocy interrupted Papatonio as he argued that McCain's political gambit to "suspend" his campaign and delay Friday's debate was more a response to his flagging poll numbers than an attempt to fix the economic crisis. Doocy wasn't buying it.
"If Barack Obama wants to do so much for the economy, why doesn't he go to his day job and work in the us senate?" he asked Reagan, cutting off Papatino's argument.

DISGUSTING GOP!! TRYING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTEING WHO IS FACEING FORECLOSURE
Barack Obama’s campaign and the Democratic Party filed a lawsuit Tuesday to stop Michigan Republicans from implementing what Democrats called an “ugly” and “horrific” plan to prevent homeowners who face foreclosure from voting.
The suit aims to prevent anyone whose address appears on a list of foreclosed properties from being challenged on their ability to vote for that reason alone.
The legal case stems from comments in an article attributed to the Republican Party chairman of Macomb County. The story, “Lose Your House, Lose Your Vote,” appeared on the liberal Michigan Messenger Web site.
The site quoted Chairman James Carabelli as saying, “We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren’t voting from those addresses,” party chairman James Carabelli told Michigan Messenger in a telephone interview earlier this week. He said the local party wanted to make sure that proper electoral procedures were followed.
State election rules allow parties to assign “election challengers” to polls to monitor the election. In addition to observing the poll workers, these volunteers can challenge the eligibility of any voter provided they “have a good reason to believe” that the person is not eligible to vote. One allowable reason is that the person is not a “true resident of the city or township.”
The Michigan Republicans’ planned use of foreclosure lists is apparently an attempt to challenge ineligible voters as not being “true residents.”
One expert questioned the legality of the tactic.
“You can’t challenge people without a factual basis for doing so,” said J. Gerald Hebert, a former voting rights litigator for the U.S. Justice Department who now runs the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington D.C.-based public-interest law firm. “I don’t think a foreclosure notice is sufficient basis for a challenge, because people often remain in their homes after foreclosure begins and sometimes are able to negotiate and refinance.”
As for the practice of challenging the right to vote of foreclosed property owners, Hebert called it, “mean-spirited.”

Rapper Nas Delivers Fox News Petition, Says Network Is "Scared"
YES IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TOOK ON RACIST ASS FOX FIX NEWS!!!!!!!!! WITH ITS SLIMY AND RACIST PEOPLE I.E SEAN HANNITY AKA RACIEST A--HOLE, KARL THE CROOK ROVE, THE BIGGEST BIGOT Bill O'Reilly, THAT SICKING STATION NEEDS TO BE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN!!!
About four hours after the announcement that his controversial, politically charged ninth album was number one in the country, Nas was on a small podium in front of Fox News headquarters in New York City protesting what he sees as racist attacks against Black Americans and presidential candidate Barack Obama. In a brief prepared statement, the multi-platinum rapper pointed out examples of what he and ColorOfChange see as a long racist smear campaign against the Obama family: The onscreen graphic that referred to Michelle Obama as the Senator's "baby mama"; Bill O'Reilly casually using the phrase "lynching party" to refer to attacks on the Senator's wife; referencing to the couple's infamous fist thump as a "terrorist fist jab." Said Nas, "Fox poisons this country every time they air racist propaganda and try to call it news. This should outrage every American that Fox uses hateful language to talk about the person that may be the first black president."
The rapper stood next to 19 neatly stacked cardboard boxes, with the number 620,127 taped to the side of each one -- over 600,000 signatures gathered by ColorOfChange demanding that network president Roger Ailes "find a solution to address racial stereotyping and hate-mongering before it hits the airwaves." Fox rejected the petitions, but Brave New Films says that Comedy Central's The Colbert Report will accept them instead.
T4R-Nas is on point and this makes us respect him even more. Someone needs to take on racist Faux News and the moron Sean Hannity. I am sick of the way he assaults Obama every night on his show. Colmes is a total weakling and does not stick up for Obama. I can't stand O'Reilly either
Sign Nas's petition - better late than never!

here's the music video for Sly Fox, Nas's takedown of Fox News (some explicit lyrics):

FAUX NEWS IS SCUM!!!
Brave New Films: Sorry FOX, We Won't Let You Trash Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama has come in for particularly poor treatment on FOX News -- from the "terrorist fist jab" to "Obama's Baby Mama," along with scores of comments on her supposed bitterness. In a new video, Brave New Films catalogs the racism and misinformation in FOX's anti-Obama attacks.

"Not only are they smearing Michelle Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that they believe gives them the right to slander her again," the group says in a press release. "FOX's long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas. Racism and fearmongering have no place in our country or its politics, despite what FOX would have you believe."

Fox loses its mind again...calls Michelle 'Obama's baby's mama'
So an anchor at Fox News calls the fist bump between Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, a "terrorist" bump.
Now the network has called Michelle "Obama's baby's mama."
These folks have absolutely no sense of decency.
According to the television industry blog, TV Newser, higher ups at Fox News are highly upset.
What they should be upset is with some folks who are choosing to be cute and ending up being absolutely disrespectful.
If Fox truly wants to see it end, fire someone. And do it publicly.
Conservative talker Michelle Malkin has tried to explain it away by saying Michelle made such a reference when introducing Obama before. But this is clearly something else.

FOX NEWS E.D. HILL AS LOST HER MIND!!
Fox Anchor Calls Obama Fist Pound A "Terrorist Fist Jab"
On the June 6 edition of Fox News' America's Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion on a gesture Sen. Barack Obama shared with his wife, Michelle, saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently."
A "terrorist fist jab"? Seriously?
Tell Fox News this is appalling and unacceptable, and demand an apology from E.D. Hill.This is a really low brow comment, but we are in the media section talking about Faux News, so i can't resist:
E.D. also stands for "Erectile Dysfunction"
Coincidence?

THE TRUTH ABOUT SEAN HANNITY, THE WORLD NEEDS TO NOW ABOUT
Sean Hannity’s Relationship With Neo-Nazi Leader Confirmed
Sean Hannity, co-host of FOX News Channels popular nightly program Hannity and Colmes has for years come across as both a racist and blind ideologue. Viewers are often inundated with his incredibly extreme, and narrow minded view on situations ranging from race relations to the United States involvement in Iraq, and his take on things is often times nauseating. For a long time, legitimate media, and right minded individuals have viewed Hannity as nothing more then a blow hard neo-conservative, who championed the use of slanderous journalism. Well it seems as though recent events have provided us with further insight into what makes Sean Hannity tick, this information comes in the revelation of Hannity’s long time friendship with neo-Nazi mainstay Hal Turner. Hal Turner, Hannity’s close confidant, has acknowledged that indeed he has known Hannity quite well, and for many years. This comes on the heels of Hannity’s initial claims that he didn’t know Hal Turner, the Nazi/White Supremacist.
On Wednesday, March 19, Malik Zulu Shabazz (a racist in his own right) of the New Black Panther Party appeared as a guest on Hannity & Colmes to discuss the Obama / Reverend Wright controversy. During that appearance, Sean Hannity asked Shabazz if Barak Obama shouldn’t be judged by his past affiliations with Reverend Wright, to which Shabazz replied by asking Sean Hannity “Should you be judged by your past association with Hal Turner, a neo-Nazi?” First Hannity denied knowing Turner, then he said he had long ago banned Turner from his show. Then, in a tacit admission, Hannity said something along the lines of, “Well I’m not running for President.” Below you can view the Hannity and Colmes segment from March 19th which shows Hannity’s denial:
Hannity’s claim that he did not know Hal Turner came as news to a lot of people, including of course, Hal Turner. Who earlier today discussed their close friendship on his blog, Turner writes in great detail about his past with Hannity:
I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn’t know me and then went on to say that I ran some senate campaign in New Jersey. In fact, Sean Hannity does know me and we were quite friendly a number of years ago.
When Hannity took over Bob Grant’s spot on 77 WABC in New York City, I was a well-known, regular and welcome caller to his show. Through those calls, Sean and I got to know each other a bit and at some point, I can’t remember exactly when, Sean gave me the secret “Guest call-in number” at WABC so that my calls could always get on the air.
When I utlized that call-in number, Sean would very often come onto that line during commercial breaks so we could chat before I went on the air. Our off-the-air chats grew to an exchange of other phone numbers, me giving Sean my home and cellular number and Sean giving me his direct dial-in number at Fox News channel.
In 1993, My wife got pregnant and around a month later, Sean reported that he and his wife were expecting their first child. We got to talking about things expectant dads talk about and the relationship grew.
My wife gave birth to our son in June 1994, Seans wife gave birth to their child about a month later.
