Alan Colmes Smacks Down Hypocritical Attacks On Occupy Wall Street Protests
Maybe this is why Colmes was left out of the Hannity 15-year retrospective. Go, Alan!

Hannity Excludes Alan Colmes From 15th Anniversary Show
Sean Hannity aired a special 15th anniversary show last night that somehow did not include his co-host for 12 years, Alan Colmes – other than by showing a few brief video clips from the old Hannity & Colmes shows. That was rude enough. But at the end, Hannity offered a heartfelt thanks to boss Roger Ailes and to his audience. Yet not a word of recognition or thanks went to Colmes. Classy as ever, Hannity!

Hannity Teams Up With Discredited J. Christian Adams To Paint Obama As BFF's With New Black Panthers
I have a feeling that Sean Hannity must have been the first person to buy J. Christian Adams' new book. Why? Because even though Adams' accusations of racial bias in the Obama Department of Justice have been debunked, his new book out goes through it all over again and with more racial accusations. I doubt there's anything race-baiting Hannity would like better than another excuse to race bait against President Obama - while pretending that white people are the ones being discriminated against. It's one of Hannity's favorite memes. So last night, Hannity didn't just unquestioningly welcome Adams' discredited claims that the DOJ dismissed charges against some New Black Panther Party members because of racial preference for black people, Hannity used it to smear President Obama, too, for “sharing a podium” with NBPP head Malik Shabazz. The only problem? While Obama and Shabazz only happened to meet up at the same function – Shabazz was an invited guest many times on Hannity's own TV show.

Fox and Friends Continues Its Years Old Smear* That POTUS Is Secret Muslim
Didja know that President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim? No? Then you haven’t been watching Fox “News” for the past several years. It’s the so-called “Fair & Balanced” channel’s favorite phony meme, pushed whenever they can find the barest opening in an attempt to convince its gullible audience that Obama prays 5 times a day to Allah.* News Hounds is filled with examples of Fox trying to connect the president to Islam. However, the grand prize will always go to Fox and Friends, which insisted way back in January of 2007 that then-candidate Senator Obama attended a madrassas as a child. While they were forced to retract a few days later, that hasn’t stopped the network, or the Three Stooges on the Curvy Couch, from making the Obama/Muslim connection over and over and over again. That’s why it was ALMOST amusing that they did it again this morning, and again with an easily disprovable lie. Watch:

Fox News Stretches The Truth On Gas Prices
Yesterday, I posted about how Fox Nation somehow ignored the good-news jobs report and made "Gas Prices Double Under Obama" its top story. Coincidentally, that exact meme was echoed by Fox pundits later on Hannity. But while it's literally true that on the day Obama took office, gas prices were about half what they are now, Fox News conveniently overlooked their steady rise during the Bush administration and their sudden decline during the last four or five months of the Bush administration, during his lameduck days and when - oh yeah, we were in the midst of an economic plunge.
