Cenk looks at clips of RepubliCONs giving their full support of the so called "Fair and Balanced" 'news' channel's message board and asks if they would say the same thing if it was owned by any other station.

Unsurprisingly, Fox Nation is actually a message board for racists and other scary creatures....

Why Do Fox Nation Moderators Keep Allowing Racist Comments?

Fox Nation, the website that http://www.thefoxnation.com/our-purpose">boasts about its devotion to civility and tolerance, and observing the basic rules of civility and mutual respect, is a http://www.newshounds.us/2009/09/06/racist_violent_comments_on_fox_nations_van_jones_victory_thread.php">hotbed http://www.newshounds.us/2009/08/20/fox_nation_thread_about_mcdonalds_black_website_generates_more_racism_and_ignorance.php">of http://www.newshounds.us/2009/08/09/fox_nation_wishes_obama_a_happy_birthday_by_hoping_its_his_last.php">extremist, http://www.newshounds.us/2009/08/24/why_does_fox_nation_continue_to_promote_vile_racism.php">racist http://www.newshounds.us/2009/07/17/fox_nation_plays_the_fear_of_islam_card_which_encourages_anti_islamic_bigotry.php">comments. News Hounds' Priscilla has found http://www.newshounds.us/2009/09/13/fox_nation_encourages_vile_homophobia.php">homophobic comments on "tolerant," "civil" Fox Nation recently.

Reader Marie J. recently sent us this one (screen grab below) that used the n-word. As a moderator of comments, myself, I can understand a rogue comment getting through now and then, but this has become a pattern. And how did Fox Nation's moderators let this one through? And why do they keep allowing similarly inflammatory comments?

Fox Nation Resident Is "Proud To Be A Racist"
Reported by Priscilla - September 16, 2009 - 30 comments


When Fox Nation inaugurated its website, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,511334,00.html">this statement was made: "...How can we make certain that children of all races are fairly judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character? FOX Nation will be a forum for Americans to speak out on important and controversial issues, and to act on their beliefs and values--while always upholding the traditional American ideals of free speech, fair play, and tolerance..." Flash forward to now and there are twoFox Nation race baiting threads about a school bus fight involving black and white children. One of the threads is about the fight. The other is devoted to http://www.thefoxnation.com/media/2009/09/16/rush-race-rules-all-obamas-america">Rush Limbaugh's race baiting comment about how this incident shows that Obama is empowering blacks to do bad things to whites. (Really??)

Needless to say the threads are full of racist venom about arrogant blacks and victimized whites. But one comment really summed it all up in a statment that must have Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. rolling in their graves. If tolerance is an American value, it's not held in Fox Nation and if they're still part of the USA, this poster is certainly not a great American. Jim Crow is alive and well in Fox Nation which is an apartheid state of mind. One suspects that those who were responsible for the Alabama church bombing, in 1963, which killed four young African American girls shared the sentiments of this resident of Fox Nation. Why does Fox Nation hate America and seek to stoke the fires of racism in a country that should have put all this behind? Why? I guess racism is a "family value." Stay classy, Fox Nation.

1. Yep

It's fairly obvious what strategy the Republicans have decided to go with. They're going to fuel racial hatred, division, and mistrust as much as they can and hope it eventually infects more moderate people.

[Zoeisright]

2. Because they're blatantly racist and homophobic.

And stupid and cruel and greedy and selfish and mean etc. etc. etc. etc.
