Last night, as Sean Hannity closed his show, he made a startling suggestion that no other Fox News show is truly conservative.

Now that the Bureau of Land Management has backed off its confrontation with law-breaking rancher Cliven Bundy, Fox News has turned to a new target for its ginned-up hostility: Nevada's Democratic Senator and Majority Leader Harry Reid. Yesterday, Fox promoted a baseless conspiracy theory suggesting that Reid is somehow orchestrating the move to evict Bundy's cows from federal land in order to benefit from a solar energy deal instead.Today, Fox Nation has taken aim at Reid with a headline quoting the lawless Bundy, "He needs to be kicked out of office." Predictably, the murderous group of readers there are salivating for the chance to kill Reid now. (H/T Aria)

Bill O’Reilly spent three segments last night whitesplaining to his viewers all the ways that President Obama and Eric Holder are conning them into thinking race still matters in this country. As I previously posted, O’Reilly teamed up with Brit Hume to “reveal” how being black is really a plus for them. In the same show, O’Reilly also got together with Dr. Ben Carson and Bernard Goldberg to “reveal” how Obama and Holder are “using their skin color” to manipulate black voters into voting Democratic.

Fox News and the right wing grievance industry never waste an opportunity to whine about the criminality of those who engage in welfare fraud. In order to foment outrage about "the takers," Fox frequently features segments in which those on federally funded food stamps are portrayed as deadbeats who are robbing the taxpayers. But the radical, conspiratorial anti-government right, aided and abetted by Fox News, considers Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy to be a hero because of his refusal to pay grazing fees on lands owned by the federal government which Bundy doesn't recognize because freedom. Last night, Megyn Kelly provided us with a sympathetic "new look inside of this fight" brought to us courtesy of the paranoid, xenophobic "filmmaker" Dennis Michael Lynch who is very concerned about the lawlessness of undocumented immigrants (they're coming to slit your throat) - Cliven Bundy's lawlessness, not so much.

Brit Hume visited The O’Reilly Factor for a little more race baiting under cover of “truth telling” about all the perks President Obama has as a black president that he doesn’t appreciate, another dose of amnesia about all the race baiting that Fox News has engaged in and – oh, yeah – an insinuation that the only real race baiters in politics are black.

Esquire didn’t mince any words in its article about Sean Hannity’s promotion of the Bundy family’s armed insurrection in Nevada: Hannity is going to help get somebody killed one of these days. And they are right on the money about it.

On Saturday, Donald Trump joined Fox News’ Vladimir Putin unofficial fan club. You may recall that last week, Fox’s Ralph Peters slobbered over Russia’s President Putin. Saturday, Trump visited Cashin’ In’s special “Freedom Summit” that also included Sarah Palin and Rand Paul.

We can add “objective” Fox News host Harris Faulkner and “Democrats” Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell to the list of Fox News personnel willing – and seemingly eager  - to cheer on and promote Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s armed insurrection against the federal government. So sympathetic were Schoen and Caddell to Bundy that they suggested it was the federal government that’s lawless and that Bundy is merely “the first spark” in a (deserved) uprising to come.

Todd Starnes is always quick to tweet about black on white crime and brawls involving black youth in order to advance the white, right wing, and Fox News narrative that white America is at the mercy of vicious gangs of marauding black thugs. And when a man carrying material from the Southern Poverty Law Center shot a guard at the headquarters for the hate group, the Family Research Council, Starnes didn't waste an opportunity to tweet about it. But being a good Christian and all, you would think that Starnes would be outraged about the recent shooting deaths of Christians, outside two Kansas Jewish community centers, allegedly perpetrated by a white supremacist whose views about the Jews are as vile as those of Starnes' culture warrior soul brotha, Jerry Boykin. Yet, not a word about it on his twitter feed which is full of righteous patriotic outrage over the so called "range war" which is a cause celebre for right wing militia types and Fox News. 

Sean Hannity is far from the only Fox host cheerleading a Nevada rancher’s armed conflict with the federal government. As even Fox’s Megyn Kelly has acknowledged, rancher Cliven Bundy, “doesn’t have a (legal) leg to stand on” in his beef with the Bureau of Land Management. And he has threatened the safety and well-being of law enforcement personnel. But Fox & Friends proved this morning that the “fair and balanced” network cares more about tearing down the U.S. government than it cares about the rule of law, the safety of Americans or even the truth.
