Whine of the Day: Moveon.org formalizes whining to Fox

[Robert R. Frump]

Here's the latest on Fox from Moveon.org. Hey, the Terrorist Fist Bump was a joke, right? Right???


Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures, we can draw media attention and put pressure on FOX's advertisers.

Plus, Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films just released a video documenting FOX's ongoing smears against Michelle Obama. Please check out the video, and then sign the petition calling on FOX to stop peddling racism—and then tell your friends. Just click here:

FOX is shameless: in the last several weeks alone, they've "confused" Obama's name with Osama's, referred to Michelle as "Obama's Baby Mama," and called an affectionate fist bump by Barack and Michelle a "terrorist fist jab."

Our partners at ColorOfChange.org will hold a major event this week to deliver boxes and boxes of petition signatures to FOX's headquarters. If we can deliver half-a-million signatures, other media outlets will have a powerful story to report—and FOX's advertisers will get the hint that it's not a good idea to associate their products with FOX's hate-speech.
Thanks for helping to fight the right-wing smears.

P.S. Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) has a new book out, and we thought you might be interested. The Nation called Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman," and he's stood with MoveOn on numerous causes, from ending the war to stopping warrantless wiretapping in FISA. Now he's written "Fire Breathing Liberal," a fascinating account of life as an outspoken progressive in the House of Representatives. Says Comedian Stephen Colbert, "I enjoyed Congressman Wexler's book even more than I enjoy cocaine and prostitutes." You can check it out here:

Terrorist fist-bump to you, Codder.

MoveOn.org? OMG! What a big bunch of whiners! Is there anything they don't whine about? Look, advertisers will NEVER abandon FAUX NOOZ. Why? FOXholes don't watch it for the journalistic integrity, they just want to re-enforce their binary world view. They also lack the genetic ability to question authority, which makes them the perfect target audience for TV commercials because THEY WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING THE FOX BOX TELLS THEM! Now, pardon me while I apply my HeadOn directly to my forehead...
