All conservatives and any conservative media has to do is sit back and watch Obama implode.

Fox News is not conservative media in the way that everything else is liberal media. It's not like they made a tactical error in their urgent push to defeat Sen. Obama. Captions attract the illiterate viewers, obviously the largest demographic of all. Some producer cobbled together a cutesy caption out of some other quotes and the hypersensitive liberal blogs are overreacting to it.

For one, the Obamas are married so the caption is false in its accusation. Two, he's the first black candidate with a shot at the presidency. Third, the remark is incredibly racially insensitive.

The run for the White House has just escalated. This is precisely what McCain was trying to avoid and justifiably so. The history btw whites and blacks runs too deep in this country for Fox to pick at racial wounds like this.

“Captions attract the illiterate viewers”

That sure seems like a contradiction...
