Fox News Calls Michelle Obama “Obama’s Baby Mama”

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Barack, Media, Partisan Hacks, Video, WTF?

That’s right. They actually did this. In fact, here’s the video…

Two things…

First, there are various definitions of “Baby Mama”, but they all basically boil down to a single, unmarried mom. Urban Dictionary has the definition as “the mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved.” So not only is the term offensive, it’s also completely inaccurate.

Second, nowhere in Fox’s segment did “outraged liberals” actually say this. No, this was just Fox News’ clever little way to say that Dems are warning conservative groups that they shouldn’t go after Michelle Obama.

I didn’t think they could get this clueless, but between Murdoch admitting they sold the war, the terrorist fist jab incident and then this nonsense, they’ve once again proved me wrong.

So…….

Michelle can refer to Barack as as her “baby’s daddy”, but no one can refer to Michelle as Barack’s “baby’s mama”???

Rich–The proper terminology is “Baby Mama” and “Baby Daddy”, not “Baby’s Mama” and “Baby’s Daddy”. You are missing the whole point of the racially discriminatory terms which imply intellectual inferiority and lack of education. Even the results of your keen research skills lack luster when you fail to understand the underlying concept behind the whole situation.

Obama rhymes with Mama, and it sounds funny when you say it. Could that be the reason?

Nice try Rich. How about we refer to you as lying partisan hack?
