Fox Nation Is A Jerk: Michelle Obama Under Attack

Can the people on Fox Nation try any harder to be declared jerks? Our initial post on Fox Nation was prompted by a picture of Kate Middleton in a bikini that was the site’s “Pic of the Day.” The comments that followed instantly and oddly concentrated on comparing and degrading First Lady Michelle Obama. It was a total non sequitur for normal people, but for Fox Nation, it seemed like they were on the same wavelength.

We again look at the Fox Nation “Pic of the Day,” and this time, I actually have to thank them for reminding me how funny the British satirical show Brass Eye was.

I couldn’t help but think of Brass Eye’s ‘Paedogeddon’ episode where they joked about people’s obsession with pedophilia, and specifically, I was reminded of this quote:

Gary Lineker – “Take a look at this [shows photo]. What is it? Just a hillside? Look again. There’s a child there, no more than a blue speck. The fact is, if you showed this picture to a paedophile, they’ll actually try and attack it in an attempt to reach the child. That’s the sort of warped mindset we’re dealing with.”

To get people on Fox Nation worked up and crazy all you have to do is find a picture of Michelle Obama playing tennis to, heaven forbid, support her campaign against childhood obesity.

If this was a normal site, this would be a pretty normal picture post to be honest – something the Associated Press had that a normal site would just benignly want to put up. For Fox Nation however, this is like right-wing pornography. If they honestly wanted to be a mainstream news site, they would have posted this picture and then at least tried to moderate the comments given their past history of having their comments go crazy with misogyny and racism.

So here they are, some of the horrible comments that only the citizens of Fox Nation can bring.

rockthevote2012: And the score is, the American people 10 and baboon face zero.

PinkPigs: Sorry…..but Mooch…..perpetuates her ugly.   It isn’t just the picture of her that is ugly…..so is her inside……..it just happens to show on her outside as well.

Glad I didn’t see that on video.
Those cheesy “Thunder Thighs” could turn a straight man  G A Y .
It happened to Barack.

petebertuglia: Oh dear lord, dear lord, tennis will never be the same, I for one am throwing my racket away.

janerogers:
I want to know why Michool Onana feels it necessary to reveal her arms in sleeveless (and loud- colored) outfits as she did at her husband’s speech Thursday night.  It just didn’t seem appropriate for the somber occasion.  A nice tailored suit would have been more classy.   Oh!  My bad!   I forgot…SHE HAS NO CLASS!!!

msliberty2010: Any one that carries a wide load around like Michelle Obama, shouldn’t be telling any one else or their children what to eat.
