Fox Nation: Obama Has A Big Problem With White Women
Posted by: Mark @ 4:07 pm


Conservatives have lately been escalating their umbrage at being called racist. I keep telling them that the best way to get people to stop calling you racist is to stop being racists. But do they listen?

Today on Fox Nation there is a featured story with the headline: “Obama Has A Big Problem With White Women.” Could they have come up with a more racially charged banner with which to introduce a story on a public opinion poll? This framing deliberately recalls the worst of a hate-filled era characterized by irrational fears of marauding black predators stalking innocent and vulnerable Caucasian virgins.



What makes this even worse is that the article to which the Fox Nationalists linked was an Associated Press report on presidential approval polling that cited numerous reasons for recent declines. Among those were that support from women declined about 9%. However, support from independents declined 19%. The AP’s headline had nothing to do with women, reading: “Economic worries pose new snags for Obama.” The main focus of the article pointed to issues like jobs, housing, and gas prices, as the the primary factors contributing to weakening poll numbers. So Fox had to purposefully stretch the story to fit their predetermined racist theme.

They could have borrowed the economic angle that the AP used in their headline. They could have noted that independents were leaving the Obama camp, which would have been more correct because more of them were leaving. They could even have broadened the angle to attribute the polling slump to women generally. But, no. The issue was white women. I’m just a little surprised that Fox didn’t go with this headline: “Obama Polling: Where Da White Women At?”

Fox Nation, in citing the AP, also conveniently left out that…

“…16 months before the November 2012 elections, Obama also is perceived favorably by 56 percent of respondents and 52 percent approve of his job performance overall. Despite the overwhelming sentiment that the national economy is in poor shape, more than three of five of those polled rated the financial situation of their own households as good. And, echoing previous findings, about three-quarters of the survey participants said it is unrealistic to expect noticeable results on the economy in one term.”

1. The wording says it all

Great observation and insights.

[madinmaryland]

2. Fox News manipulating the facts?

[Whisp]

Obama beats women! Obama is mean to women! Obama won't be a gentleman and let a lady win!

5. Do they assert that he hated his mother too?

:eyes:

[Enthusiast]

6. What problem?

What problem do they say he has with white women? He likes them? He doesn't like them? LOL!

[nxylas]

27. That's what they want you to think

It actually means that his support is weakening among several demographics, including white women. But they've cleverly exploited a double meaning to bolster their "Obama is a racist" Rovian projection meme. Fox Noise's viewers may be idiots, but that doesn't mean their headline writers are. They know exactly what they're doing.

7. The pubs think women are stupid

That's their problem. This white Jewish woman will be voting to reelect the President as will ALL the white Jewish women in my family.

[Avant Guardian]

8. Look at republican women

Palin, Bachmann, Angle... They are all idiots. Perhaps they think all women are as stupid as republican women?

[GoCubsGo]

9. Did these assholes forget that his mother was a white woman?

And, his grandmother? And, his Secretary of State? And, his Secretary of Health and Human Services? And, his Secretary of Homeland Security? As is one of his Deputy Chiefs of Staff? I can't believe people actually buy into this shit.

18. Why can't you buy into this? Roughly half of the people vote Republican. I'd say that the

Republican leadership has a high percentage of sickos with anti-social personalities,
and the masses that follow them are the result of half a century of brain-washing
from the 90% Republican-owned main-stream news media.

Don't underestimate the main-stream news media. Their propaganda and lies are highly
effective!

[truedelphi]

19. Actually if you examine real statistics -

Half the voters in this country do not vote, even though they are eligible.

And the Republican Party can only lay claim to some 22 to 28 percent of the population. The Dems can lay claim to a slightly larger figure - some thirty three percent of us are totally dedicated Democratic voters.

However that leaves over forty percent of the population wanting other alternatives.
Many of us understand what Dorothy Thompson, an award winning journalist of the nineteen thirties was meaning when she discussed her conversations with Harry F Sinclair (A big money man and a Tea Pot Dome paticipant.)

Harry had taken her into his confidence and explained to her that a select group of rich individuals chooses who the candidates for the nation's Highest Office will be. They fund both sides of the aisle. Of couse, they were astounded when their 1932 selection for the Democratic ticket not only won, but ignored the mandate of the Big Money People in order to do what the Middle Calss needed, and not what the Inner Circle demanded. So then the Inner Circle tried to raise some twenty million to oust FDR in 1936 - but back then the election machinery was not as hackable, and the tens of millions who loved FDR saw to it that he got his second term.

For those of us understanding all this, it is not amazing and/or shocking to find tha the Koch brothers offered p a lot of funding to the DLC.


This is America's dirty little secret. I heard a call in person try and discuss this with Brian Lamb on C Span, and I have never seen a moderator so glad when he finally succeeded in having the person hang up.

Elections are big business. Ever notice how many ads are on the TV stations during election season?

21. People don't vote because increasingly they believe their votes won't change anything.

Great post, Tru delphi. :D

[Cal33]

24. Hope you are helping them to realize that they are wrong.

[Cal33]

23. I agree with you that nearly half of the American people don' t even vote. My figures take into

account only those who do vote. and they roughly match yours.

"However that leaves over forty percent of the population wanting other alternatives."
I believe only some of the over forty percent of the population want other
alternatives. Most of the rest have no interest in politics at all, and simply don't
care. one way or another -- in the same way that I am not interested in, say,
bookkeeping. I've had the subject in school, and to me it was a horrible bore. It
still is.

Yes, some top-monied people have always tried to control the elections in this
country. I remember having read that they thought they could control Teddy
Roosevelt, too. And did he surprise them! That quality seems to have run in the
family, hasn't it?

I rarely look at any ads. If more people paid less attention to them, the world of
advertising would shrink in size from a giant into a midget. The motto of Fifth
Avenue is to convince people to buy what they don't need. What Fifth Ave. does is
to make use of people's sense of insecurity, and turn that into profit. It's a
world built on pretense, falsehood and lies. You can bet the top executives of
Fifth Avenue are almost all Republicans.

22. Not THIS White Woman

Granted, there's been a few times that I've wanted to tear off my Obama bumper sticker. But, considering the opposition, I'm still with Obama.

25. More laughter from Fox News Entertainment. Or not.

Whoever runs this non news outlet must have some kind of relation to Lord Haw Haw. Eventually, Lord Haw Haw was hung for his crimes.

[Avalux]

26. Another headline, in a similar vein: "Media too Tough on Convervative Women"

Insinuating that the media is to blame for the stupidity that comes out of Bachmann's and Palin's mouths.
