I've seen a lot of stupid things on FOX but this one tops them all:


Odd controversy hits Obama's latest book


President Obama's children's book, "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters," hit shelves this week to a bit of unexpected controversy.

At first glance, the 31-page book—which features short profiles and illustrations of American heroes like George Washington and Jackie Robinson—doesn't seem like it could stir up much debate.

But Obama's decision to include Native American leader Sitting Bull didn't go over well with the headline writers at Fox Nation, a Fox News website. Their initial take: "Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed U.S. General."

.....Fox News chief Roger Ailes claimed in a recent (unrelated) interview that his network doesn't take unfair shots at the Obama administration.

But headlines like this one only give ammunition to the many Fox critics who contend that the Rupert Murdoch-owned network—and sites affiliated with it—will take every opportunity to criticize the Democratic president.

They've got a pretty big target in Obama.

Simply fucking incredible. And how many slaves died at the hands of their owners?

DYB, you have quite the set of "man juggs" on you! You and Ken need to lay off the female estrogen hormones.
Do you get "nipply" in the cold weather?

Don't cum too hard when you look and stroke to me pops, you know you have a heart condition.

Rule, what's the differance between Faux News and MSNBC?

Faux News has an audience.

~chuckles

yeah, i didnt think anyone would address that. There were over 300 slaves at Vernon at the time of Washinton's death. He freed them in his will... upon the death of his wife.

Why do i bring this up? Sitting Bull was a native american. It was His country. And yet the only thing he can be remembered for is that he killed a US General... one who was gunning for him? I mean, honestly, if you were being hunted down for extermination because you refused to live on a reservation, what would you do?

We honor slave owners because of their courage on the battle fields of old... yet dismiss men equally as courageous on the battle fields simply because they were not white.

Fucking incredible.

Amen

Didn't Sitting Bull orchestrate the demise of the 7th Calvary, and the death of Custer?

I don't see a problem here.




Lucylastic -> RE: You have to love FOX, they are "fair and balanced" (11/18/2010 10:25:11 AM)


considering how many  americans killed fellow americans in the civil war, to accept that sitting bull wasnt an american in the truest sense is like denying you are a human
fucking ridiculous

Come on FDD, FOX is too funny not to watch.

It's like looking at your threads. 

I really don't want to but there is a sort of morbid curiosity that just draws me to them.

True.  He was Lakota Sioux.

It was His country.
I'm not so sure this was true.

What was the purpose of the Obama book?  What kind of "heroes" is the book suppose to represent?

Well Popeye I'm not too thrilled with MSNBC either, but it was FOX that started this degradation of supposed news channels into partisan opinion channels.

MSNBC only responded with the liberal version of FOX.

Are you so ignorant that you can't see the difference between a contributor and the head of a "news organization? Or, are you so unsure of your position that you deliberately have to skew what you present as evidence. This is what FOX News has done for this country.




Lucylastic -> RE: You have to love FOX, they are "fair and balanced" (11/18/2010 10:59:11 AM)

LMAO you use newsmax as a source and completely dismiss the clarification he made
typical coming from you
