Another Defeat For Fox Nation – David Hamilton Confirmed For Appeals Court
Fox Nation was all whipped up into a pitchfork frenzy about the nomination of David Hamilton to the Chicago based appeals court. Usually, a federal appeals court nominee would draw no more than a yawn; but not so for Mr. Hamilton whose evil, librul record produced howls of indignation by conservative Christians throughout Fox Nation. It seems that Mr. Hamilton, described as a “Judicial Anarchist” by the “Christian News Wire,” made some decisions, relating to public prayer and abortion, which the American Taliban (whoops, religious right) disapproved of; so, when his nomination was announced, the right wing witch hunt began. That the charges were totally bogus was not a problem for those, including Fox Nation, which sought to demonize this man who, in addition to “Saying Yes to Allah and No to Jesus, worked (gasp) for ACORN, for one month after college and the ultra, evil, librul ACLU. But despite calls to Jesus and the best efforts of Fox Nation, Mr. Hamilton was confirmed by a vote of 59 to 39 in the US Senate.

I know that Fox&Friends is officially part of the Fox “Opinion” News, so it wasn’t surprising that Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, on last week’s Fox&Friends, did a “cupcake” interview with Democratic US Rep. Bart Stupak – the author of an amendment to the House health care bill which has far ranging reproductive ramifications for American women. Both Doocy and Kilmeade are Roman Catholics so it wasn’t surprising that they allowed their co religionist to peddle his pro-life propaganda regarding a bill which the American Council of Catholic Bishops had a huge hand in drafting and supporting. And in providing a “right to life” definition of the bill, the Fox “friends” provided a pulpit, once again, for the anti-choice gospel that Fox preaches to its anti-choice audience. But even if you’re doing “opinion” news, don’t you have some obligation towards objectivity? Not if you’re America’s pro-life newsroom.

O’Reilly Targets Massachusetts School for First Day of “War On Christmas” 2009
They can’t even wait until Thanksgiving is over. “Patriots” that they are, Fox News have leapfrogged right over our national holiday, which is still a week away, in favour of an early Christmas holiday present of faux outrage for their howling hordes. Hear ye, hear ye, all ye "Christian" Crusaders! Gird your loins and pick up your pitchforks, for duty calls: we go to do battle with the Principal and PTO of Byam Elementary School in the godless librul state of Massachusetts. The War to “Save” Christmas is on!
Tis The Season For The “War On Christmas” And America’s Newsroom Is Bringing It!
As a mouthpiece for the religious right, “America’s Newsroom” is really America’s Christian Newsroom and as part of their covenant with the Murdoch divinity, Fox has pledged to support the crusade (or is it jihad) against anyone who dares to defile the sacredness of a holiday devoted to the excesses of capitalism, ubiquitous schlocky musak, and general tackiness. As such, Christian culture clubbers, Bill Hemmer and Alisyn Camerota fired an early salvo in the annual Fox Opinion News “war on Christimas” which serves to remind all those damned non Christians that they’d better f’ing say “Merry Christmas” or else. It’s not even Thanksgiving and the Fox “war on Christmas” is on – in fact, Hemmer and Camerota say it’s “raging.”

What Will Be Fox News' First Salvo Against Obama In The War On Christmas?
News Hounds emerita Chrish sent me this link from fhe blog of fellow emerita, Melanie, Say It Ain't So Already, debunking a phony email going around claiming that the Obamas aren’t going to call the White House Christmas tree a “Christmas tree” this year and that they are going to ban all ornaments that have a religious theme.
That got me thinking. Surely, the "fair and balanced" network will find something to criticize about the Obamas' Christmas celebration. Will their tree be too short? Too tall? Too "black?" Too un-American? Not Christian enough? Secretly socialist? Let us know your guess. A free News Hounds tee shirt to the reader with the first correct answer. We'll call it a holiday contest.
