FoxNews.Com Readers Erupt In Murderous, Bigoted Hatred Over Cholera Epidemic In Somalia
As reader Edwin M. asked in his email alerting me to the hate-filled comments on FoxNews.com's article about the high risk of a cholera epidemic in famine-stricken Somalia, "Is this what we've become?" If you're a Fox News fan, the answer, sadly, appears to be "yes." UPDATED.

Fox Nation Blows The Racial Dog Whistle And The Rabid Junkyard Dogs Respond On Cue
While you may not be intimately familiar with Ivan Pavlov, I’m sure his name rings a bell with those who edit Fox Nation. They understand the concept of conditioned reflex. In fact, they count on it. Just yesterday News Hounds had a story on how an innocuous posting about the fourth verse of The Star Spangled Banner raised Pavlovian responses in trashing Democrats, Liberals and Progressives. What do you think happens when Fox Nation blows the racial dog whistle? Since they’ve done it before, they know full well the type of response they’ll get from the citizens of Fox Nation.

And, he manages to wrap them all up with a single bow. Watch how deft he is in this clip, which was Monday’s “cold opening,” before the credits even rolled:

More on Fox’s racist “White Hizzy” Talk
I posted on Saturday (6/11/11) about Fox Business’ Sandra Smith asking, “Do we really have to have (Gabon’s leader) in the White Hizzy?” It turns out Smith was just following up on the words of Follow the Money host and Glenn-Beck understudy Eric Bolling. We’ve now got the complete segment plus teases and they're truly nauseating from beginning to end.

Fox Business’ Sandra Smith Another News Corp. Racist?
On yesterday's Fox Business show, Follow the Money, Fox blondie Sandra Smith offered a distinctly un-businesslike comment during a discussion in which a banner “asked,” “IS PRES OBAMA HOSTING CORRUPT POLITICAL PALS AT WHITE HOUSE?”
