Minneapolis radio host Chris Baker called Obama a "little bitch" who "won't even stand up to" "smoking-hot" Palin
While discussing Gov. Sarah Palin's assertion that Sen. Barack Obama was "palling around with terrorists," radio show host Chris Baker called Obama a "little bitch" who "won't even stand up to a smoking-hot chick from Alaska." Baker did not note that The New York Times article Palin cited for her claim about Obama's association with William Ayers reported that "the two men do not appear to have been close," or that the Obama campaign did indeed respond to Palin's claim.
On the October 6 broadcast of his Minneapolis radio show, Chris Baker said that Sen. Barack Obama has "got his panties in a wad" because of Gov. Sarah Palin's recent assertion that Obama was "palling around" with former Weather Underground member William Ayers. Baker said: "[T]his little bitch needs to stand up for himself. Sorry, I can't stand this. You want to be the president of the United States, and you won't even stand up to a smoking-hot chick from Alaska? How is he gonna stand up to the world's terrorists?" Baker continued: "I mean, this -- this guy -- this guy is -- he's a -- he's a wimp is what he is."
Baker went on to read from an Associated Press analysis of Palin's comments, saying: "The Associated Press says, quote, 'There's another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee palling around with terrorists while assuming a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America' because, according to the AP, 'many terrorists are dark-skinned Muslims.' " Baker added: "So, obviously, by her mentioning he hangs with terrorists, it's obviously racist. I mean that -- this is getting crazy. This wuss-bag needs to stand up for himself and answer the questions about his relationship with Bill Ayers and other terrorists and terrorist sympathizers."
Baker did not note that Palin was distorting the New York Times article she cited for her claim about Obama's association with Ayers. The Times reported that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.' " The AP analysis Baker cited stated: "Her [Palin's] reference to Obama's relationship with William Ayers, a member of the Vietnam-era Weather Underground, was exaggerated at best if not outright false. No evidence shows they were 'pals' or even close when they worked on community boards years ago and Ayers hosted a political event for Obama early in his career."
Further, Baker did not note that the Obama campaign had indeed responded to Palin. On October 4, Obama campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan stated: "[T]he very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less 'pals,' and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight."
During the segment, Baker referred to Obama as "Obammy," as he has done in the past.
From the October 6 broadcast of KTLK-FM's The Chris Baker Show:
BAKER: So he's got his panties in a wad because Sarah Palin -- who, by the way, is speaking as we speak, and I would really like to chip this but, well, we won't -- called him out on it. And it's a great quote by the way, let me -- let me see If I can lay that on you -- anyway --
LANGDON PERRY [KTLK radio show host]: Palling around? You talking about that?
BAKER: Yeah, she said -- well, we have it right? Do we have that? Yes, we do, somewhere here. 651-989-5855, by the way, is our phone number. But Sarah Palin was talking about Barack Obama and said this:
PALIN [audio clip]: Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in his neighborhood, but that's less than truthful. His own top adviser said that they were, quote, "certainly friendly." In fact, Obama held one of his first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers' home. And they've worked together on various projects in Chicago.
BAKER: Yeah, these guys know each other quite well. She was criticizing Obammy, basically saying that, "Well, he hangs out with people who see America as imperfect and imperfect enough that he's palling around with terrorists who target their own country, which Bill Ayers did."
And, of course, what happens? Well, obviously, it's racist. I love that -- that it's -- this little bitch needs to stand up for himself. Sorry, I can't stand this. You want to be the president of the United States, and you won't even stand up to a smoking-hot chick from Alaska? How is he gonna stand up to the world's terrorists?
I mean, this -- this guy -- this guy is -- he's a -- he's a wimp is what he is. But the -- so the AP comes to defense of their man and says it's racist, because, apparently -- let me read you the quote. The Associated Press says, quote, "There's another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee palling around with terrorists while assuming a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America" because, according to the AP, "many terrorists are dark-skinned Muslims." So, obviously, by her mentioning --
PERRY: Oh, boy. That's -- oh, God.
BAKER: -- he hangs with terrorists, it's obviously racist. I mean that -- this is getting crazy. This wuss-bag needs to stand up for himself and answer the questions about his relationship with Bill Ayers and other terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.

Apparently this guy is trying to get a radio syndication deal, good luck Chris.
I thought he was trying to incite a riot.
My first thought, too, Tommy.
With his bald, pallid looks he is a world authority on relative "hotness."
Well... there's little misinformation there. She IS hot. ;p
Until she opens her screeching pie hole.
Yes, that's what happens when she rubs her two brain cells together... heat.
Well... there's little misinformation there. She IS hot. ;p
The only way Caribou Barbie could be "hot" would be if someone set her on fire.
Look carefully folks, and be afraid. This is the type of person to whom the Palindrone Twit was chosen to appeal. He IS the GOP base.
God help the GOP. God help the country if Grampy wins.
NPR:
Walter Annenberg, a lifelong Republican and former ambassador who was appointed by Presidents Nixon and Reagan, funded an ambitious program to reform urban education in many cities in the mid 1990s. Ayers was an important member of the group that developed and wrote the grant proposal to the Annenberg Foundation.
Obama and Ayers attended at least six meetings together over six years, Annenberg Challenge records show, and those knowledgeable of the school reform group say it is likely there were other informal sessions of the group that they both attended. But no one on the board or on the Annenberg Challenge staff remembers Obama being any closer to Ayers than to any other member of the board. The Annenberg board also included several civic, business and education leaders, many of them Republicans.
[...]
"It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier," said former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson, who worked with both Obama and Ayers over the years. "It's ridiculous. There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It's nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It's so silly."
Of course, it's silly. But, you have to remember the audience for whom this phony controversy has been fabricated.... critical thinking is not their friend.
You've got me worried now Pete.
I now see the linkage between Obama and Ayres and Annenberg.
I'll have to turn myself in, since I once worked for a company owned by the Ambassador.
Who knew Annenberg and now me have ties to the turrists?
I'll have to turn myself in, since I once worked for a company owned by the Ambassador.
Maybe I'll have to turn myself in, because my son's godfather's mother used to drive a '65 Rambler Ambassador:
Anyone for Ambass hobo's?
Sarah Palin would make a great weather girl on local news... ;>)
"Sarah Palin would make a great weather girl on local news... ;>)"
Oh sure...as long as you remember to stick your head out the window to verify what she says.
"Weather Girl" is an outdated term, don't you think? I think that went the way of calling one's secretary "my girl".
Weather girl...? I intentionally used that term because it harkens back to days past, where Republicans and their so-called small-town values reside.
And this proves what I theorize here often;you're wrong either way. If Obama fights back against charges, then he's "thin-skinned". If he ignores the charges, then he's a "little bitch" because he won't fight back.
I think the term Goldielocks Racism might apply to that.
My idea of a smoking hot woman is one who has something else going on between her ears other than her synapses burning as she tries to answer a soft ball question, like what newspapers do you read?.
Sometimes those burned out synapses
Are the reason brain power collapses
So when Katie inquired
Sarah's brain cells misfired
And resulted in some bad relapses
With Halloween coming up, watch for the Sarah Palin life-sized blow-up doll. Mr. Baker can get his jollies. Palin HOT? NOT! I can see George Carlin doing his "yeeesh!" gesture.
Crowded, not crowed.
Oh, I don't know - commentators like Mr. Baker have been doing quite a bit of crowing over the last few years. Nothing wrong with saying it's a crowed market in that sense. Hopefully their continued blather will lead to them eating some crow in a few weeks. It would be great to see said market "crowed" in that sense too!
Baker misquoted "The AP" (making it sound like a news article) - it was actually an opinion piece by AP writer Douglass K. Daniel.
Baker says, "The Associated Press says, quote, 'There's another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee palling around with terrorists while assuming a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America.'"
The accurate quote is a question: "But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee 'palling around' with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America?"
Baker is joke trying to ride Palin's skirt tails to the limelight.
This guy is an embarrassment to Minnesota specifically, to his gender generally, and to human kind universally. Yet, the right can constantly spew this bile and no one complains, must less challenges or seeks some fact checking. DISGUSTING!
OH, trust me , I'm complaining. Our local fair and balanced radio GM won't take my calls or answer emails anymore. I now have to hand deliver my rants to the office when ever I am in Grand Junction. I also call the advertisers and rant until they hang up on me, so I least waste some of their time and tie up an 800 number. Try it, it is more fun than prank calls to a saloon asking for Ali Mi Frends Argay.
Palin is "smoking hot"?
Well, I know someone is smoking something.

Baker doesn't realize that photo of Palin in a stars n stripes bikini was photoshopped.
Smells kind of like an electrical fire, no?
