2. Make no mistake; repubs are blatently racist

How many do you know that regularly throw around the N word. They are despicable.

3. K & R!

4. Hey Focks News - "Got Proof?"

Cue the Crickets...

[whistle]

5. The Obama image insert was to cast blame by association, but notice also

...the extreme contrast adjustment to make Obama's skin look darker then it really is. That was pure fascistic propaganda deception

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. Everybody has a right to apply. The responsibility was on the institutions

to ensure they carried only the risk they were capable of covering.

How is anyone suppose to understand where they stand financially the first time they apply for a mortgage, if they don't go through the process? Hopefully, the feedback they receive will give them the information they need to do what they need to do to get a house the right way.

[pleah]

7. Why do people bother watching feaux news?

Everyone knows they are racist and biased and liars.

8. They are also the highest rated cable news network...very sad but true

:(

[ElboRuum]

13. I don't know if this is still true.

Link?

[ihavenobias]

15. Too tired (and busy) to search for one but feel free. If it wasn't still true don't you think it

would be big news in the Progressive community?

I'm sure we'd have heard about it at some point if CNN or MSNBC passed Fox. I do know that O'Reilly is the highest rated and that Hannity and Colmes (sadly) clobber anyone on MSNBC.

[ElboRuum]

17. I remember that at one point...

Fox was hemorrhaging viewership and it WAS big news. This is why I question.

9. But, haven't you heard? Obama is NOT black...

11. If you don't have a southern accent aren't you supposed to use subtle racism?

Maybe that is Fox's subtle?

Racism is alive and the acceptance of this language and the ideology it exposes has been growing. Just as "stupid" became cool and acceptable and educated became elitist the more open, exposed and acceptable certain types of what we used to call subtle (as opposed to blatant) racism became.

Now all the pretext to subtle are being dropped by some. Instead of moving forward in many ways we are losing ground.

These actions need to be called out when they are seen. We need to get more aggressive in our exposing this dangerous trend. A major news organization, which FOX is whether I like it or not, cannot be allowed to use the public air waves this way. They have a responsibility, whether they like it or not, to use appropriate language. If I can't say certain of "the seven words you can't say on TV" then Fox needs to mind its language in a way that does not offend me as well.

P.S. I know all southerners are not racist and many northerners are.

12. Sort of right, but off a bit

Past and present administrations, HAVE pressured companies to make MORE minority loans
if it was felt that the companies had not done enough historically.

HOWEVER, it is unclear as to whether or not they explicitly said 'make loans regardless of risk factors'
(that is where the finger-pointing begins, and I doubt we'll ever know the whole truth).

[Robbie88]

14. Once again

FOX News proves to be nothing but a medium for racist right-wing extremists and their propaganda.

16. This needs to go viral. k&R

[Joe Chi Minh]

18. There's no limit to the insanity of these people. I think The Onion have been really

up against it, ever since they discovered their satirical predictions of the Bush regime's ministrations would, in future generations, pass for a serious historical text book.
