In a "discussion" relating to Barack Obama's scheduled appearance at Notre Dame's Commencement, complete with video and scary music, you get the sense that Fox Nation welcomes and encourages ignorance and language that steps right up to the line of blatant racism.

Anyone truly offended should just stay home and let the University mail your paperwork to you. The biggest nationally visible impact any of you could possibly have would be for the cameras to look out onto thundreds or thousands of empty seats where the students normally sit. Let "Buckwheat" speak to empty chairs.

For those of you saying Obama is a Christian, He was a Christian for election purposes only. He's the living embodiment of AntiChrist, using the concept of Christ to advance his personal ambitions no matter how non christian they may be.

Odd, that ND invites someone who will not even attend the National Prayer Day sponsered by the Catholic Church!

Anything can happen in politics. Especially with monkey head, the guy from Indonesia, he illegal alien that claims to be a President, the guy that made all of these promises to get your vot and some haven't realized it because they are so infatuated with him being a black president that they cannot see that he just killed America. Purposely demeaning the catholic faith. Read Below:
Terrorism is, most simply, policy intended to intimidate or cause terror. It is more commonly understood as an act which (1) is intended to create fear (terror), (2) is perpetrated for an ideological goal, and (3) deliberately targets non-combatants.

And they just keep going.
Another piece about the Hawaii legislature creating an "Islam Day" is also drawing out the loonies in the Fox Nation. Linked from Michelle Malkin's blog, the piece leaves out one crucial bit on information.
It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.
Although Malkin does link to the CBS.com story, she decides to crop that last line off.
There a lots of silly "National Days", as well as days that most of them probably don't know about but seem to think don't exist. I'm sure that none of the commentors on FoxNation - as well as Malkin's Blog - even considered that. Here's quite a few:
January
13- Blame Someone Else Day
Febuary
1- National Freedom Day
March
4- Hug a GI Day
April
16- Patriot's Day
May
2- National Day of Prayer
November
24- What Do You Love About America? Day
And there's tons more.
The larger point of this is that it's Hawaii that is recognizing this day for reasons that the fringe right-wing isn't willing to understand. Their rationale is that since all terrorists are Islamic, then everyone of the Islamic faith are terrorists. If you are willing to follow that logic, then you'll fit right in at Fox Nation.
