Bill O’Reilly Says Conservative Women Get Hammered
For today’s conservatives, ain’t no party like a pity party. Last week’s “Culture Warrior” segment, on Bill O’Reilly’s “Factor” served to aid and abet a popular right wing meme that conservative women are not treated with the deference they deserve. The “warriors,” Gretchen Carlson and Megan McCain did make some very valid points about the difficulty for all women in politics and the workplace; although I didn’t agree with their conclusions. What was really amusing was the commentary by “warrior-in-chief” (alpha male?) Bill O’Reilly, that, once again, demonstrated his sexism, narcissism, paranoia, and all around arrogance. I guess he just can’t help it. What was really irritating was Bill O'Reilly's contention that conservative women are treated more harshly than liberal women. As the member of Congress from Massachusetts once said to someone who was talking crazy talk - "What planet are you from?"

Steve Doocy “Still Standing” With Persecuted Carrie Prejean – A Champion Of “Free Speech”
Fox&Friends does love persecuted Christians and despite her loss of the Miss California crown, Carrie Prejean is still the queen of them all. Carrie is making a career out of victimization; but it’s not just the slings and arrows of the librul/gay agenda that poor Carrie has been suffering, as she was dropped from an event sponsored by her fellow defenders of “opposite marriage,” “Defenders of the Family.” But not to worry – Sean Hannity enveloped her in warm, fuzzy Christian fellowship and now Steve Doocy has provided her with a pulpit from which to preach her gospel of persecution and promote her book. And the matter of her having been spurned by fellow crusaders – it was only mentioned in a chyron. Fellow Christian Steve Doocy didn’t mention it as the intent was to show that poor, persecuted Carrie Prejean, as a champion of “free speech,” is a true “profile in courage.”

Carrie Prejean’s Sex Tape – What Say You Bill O’Reilly?
Sean Hannity,as Ellen reported, provided affirmation and validation for former Miss California and spokesmodel for the National Organization for Marriage, Carrie Prejean, whose book Hannity has provided the forward for. It seems that there’s this issue of Carrie’s youthful indiscretion involving a sex tape which she made as a gift to her boyfriend – a nice, Christian, and (most importantly) heterosexual video portrayal of a young Christian girl feeling the love of Jesus. However, as she told Sean, it was a youthful indiscretion which she regrets so it’s all good. But now that she has appeared on Hannity’s show, will she make the rounds of Fox Opinion News? Will she speak with Bill O’Reilly (who also knows the joys of self satisfaction!)? Will Ms. Prejean be a topic for the Culture Warriors? Gretchen Carlson is a former Miss America who could provide some discourse on how virtuous Prejean has been in fighting teh gay and promoting family values while Bill plays the video of Prejean, strutting around in her very Christian white (signifying purity) bikini and her silicone appendages. (Praise the Lord for modern technology!) I do wonder about O’Reilly’s take on the sex tape because it wasn’t that long ago that Bill was doing his “wag of the finger” about teens doing “sexting.”

Let me be perfectly clear. Carrie Prejean’s position on gay marriage is a non-issue to me. It’s not my position but I can understand someone feeling that way. Nor do I care if that same person poses for topless photos or makes a sex tape. But if that same person holds herself up as some kind of champion of family values and personal conservatism, well, it’s an issue. And it’s an even bigger issue if that same person has already made some very questionable excuses when a series of topless photos of herself had previously surfaced. But not surprisingly, none of those issues seemed to occur to Sean Hannity as he interviewed Prejean Monday night (11/9/09). In fact, he was so sympathetic, he helped her explain away the blatant hypocrisy – about the sex tape, that is. He seemed to have developed a case of amnesia about the topless photos. Meanwhile, as Prejean repeatedly called the tape a mistake, made when she was a teenager, she never once said anything about the behavior being a mistake. Instead, as Prejean bragged about how she took “total responsibility” for the video, she seemed to take no responsibility for having engaged in such lewd behavior with a man not her husband - and as a teenager no less. In fact, Hannity praised her for giving advice to young girls in her newly released book. With video (of the Fox News interview, not the sex tape).

Will Fox News Mock Passivity of Fort Hood Soldiers The Way It Did Va Tech Shooting Victims?
Guest blogged by Notveryhow
Commenting on the April 16, 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, Fox News contributor Mark Steyn wrote a piece for the National Review Online which decried the passivity of the students in the face of an armed gunman. Steyn, whose survival of a rough and tumble deployment at King Edward's School in the United Kingdom, before dropping out, has qualified him to comment on facing down armed adversaries, mocked the Virginia Tech victims by saying, “They’re not 'children.' The students at Virginia Tech were grown women and — if you’ll forgive the expression — men.”
