Wow, that was… wow, I would be offended, if I didn’t feel so terribly sorry for the cast of that program. It’s obviously a Daily Show knock-off, and the jokes were so bad, even the laugh-track sounded strained.
One thing though, the crowds of blacks in the first two shots were blatantly racist, as was the Barack v Tiger, and the “Don’t Tell Mama” was, well, you get the idea. But, just to give Fox some credit, I don’t think the writers were capable of seeing any deeper into the BO thing then “lol, lol his initials stand for Body Odor, lol, rofl!!1!1!”
Whatever, let’s just hope that murdoch doesn’t keep this crap on, simply to be stubborn.

You’re right, it’s become politically incorrect to point out racist conservatives. People are afraid to call them for what they are, because the conservatives will just act all indignant and offended.

This Fox News skit was obviously racist, no sense pussyfooting around it.

Zach,
Is is politically incorrect to bring up the racism of conservatives.

Of course, Fox fans are going to get all defensive when someone brings up racism. We’re not supposed to point that out these days, we’re supposed to pretend racism went away decades ago.

I think we need to tell it like it is, even if it makes Fox fans roll their eyes.

Darrin:
I do not necessarily like Mr. Obama — I think he was personally responsible for torpedoing the Cegelis campaign in the Illinois primary and saddling us with Ms. Duckworth’s failed campaign in the election for representative. Now we’re stuck with Roskam. I suppose you have to step on a lot of toes in local politics …

However, I would rather vote for Mr. Obama than for Ms. Clinton.

And there is no way I would vote for a Republican, even if it was McCain.

But … how old are you? Have you thought about running for president? I’d rather vote for a professional smartass than for a superstar politician.

But hey, that’s just a silly white guy’s opinion.

Thanks for calling Fox to task on this. Keep it up.

Hmmm. It seems that Fox News can’t even make a decent rip off of the Daily Show. They don’t get that the point is to make a cartoon of our opponents, not to make a self-parody of themselves, especially the one that stresses their racism.

Holy crap, these nuts are desperate to take out Obama. They’re playing the race card already. The only thing that could make them even more racist would be if Obama chose Harold Ford for his running mate. Oh, man, Fox News would self destruct!
