FOX News continues to paint Barack Obama as foreign, un-American, suspicious, and scary. As usual, they're trying to send Americans the message that our country's first viable black candidate for President is not "one of us."
We've seen this before from FOX. They won't stop until it becomes too painful to continue—until the public calls them out and advertisers start getting worried. Now is the time to draw a line in the sand by putting FOX on notice that their behavior won't be tolerated. Nearly 200,000 Americans have already expressed their outrage. We encourage you to express yours by adding your name to this message:
"FOX must stop injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue. We intend to hold FOX, its advertisers, and its personalities accountable for FOX's attempts to smear the Obamas." Clicking here will sign the petition.
FOX's longtime pattern of smearing Obama and the black and Latino communities is well documented. But the outrageous moments have increased in the last month....First, a paid FOX commentator accidentally confused "Obama" with "Osama" and then joked on the air about killing Obama. Next, a FOX anchor said a playful fist bump by Barack and Michelle Obama could be a "terrorist fist jab." And then, FOX called Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"—slang for an unmarried mother of a man's child, and a clear attempt to associate the Obamas with negative stereotypes about black people.
If you know others who'd find FOX's recent actions despicable, please ask them to sign the petition too. The more people who sign, the bigger our impact will be.
Latinos For Obama would like to remind voters that that there are MUCHISIMO MAS legitimate and balanced news sources than FOX, among them MSNBC, NY Times, National Public Radio and the Washington Post.

TRUE THAT!
Any Latino who is watching FOX as their source of information is either a self-hater or genuinely misinformed. Thank you for calling FOX for what it is - a fear-mongering network pandering to the right wing.
OK, so Obama never had, or has, a relationship to a radical bomber that bombed government buildings. He also didn't attend a church with a racist, anti-American preacher for 20 years. He also wasn't associated with shady people in Chicago, some of whom are now in prison. His mouthy wife never made any statements that sounded un-American. It would be easy to keep this list going for many pages, but why bother with trying to explain this to shallow minded Obama praisers that are being lead to slaughter by an inexperienced candidate that reads all his speeches from a script written by his handlers. Nobody knows who this man really is, except for the fact he was born from a Muslim father which makes Barry Obama a Muslim under Islamic law. Wake up folks before Obama has a chance to totally destroy America.
