Is Michelle Obama A Transvestite? GretaWire Readers Think So

We've been so focused on the hate at Fox Nation that we took our eye off GretaWire, a cesspool of racism and homophobia. Those two bigotries were combined in a recent thread called "Barry "married" to a transvestite? You bet." (H/T reader HP)

Palin Says “We Weren’t Fair To The Electorate” Not Focusing More On Rev. Wright And Bill Ayers

It felt like 2008 all over again last night (11/18/09) as Sean Hannity went out of his way to bring up Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers during his hour-long interview with Sarah Palin about her new book. Why would Hannity waste time on this non-issue, if not for a sheer desire to hate monger against President Obama? In response, Palin had the nerve to pretend that talking more about Wright and Ayers was not negative campaigning, just being “fair to the electorate.” With video.

Hannah Giles Caught Lying On The Air About Anti-ACORN Videos And Fox News And Hannity Failed To Notice

What a coincidence that just as ACORN sued the federal government to restore its funding, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles have come up with a new round of anti-ACORN sting videos. Not surprisingly, Sean Hannity and Fox News showcased one of them last night (11/16/09) and promised more “devastating” videos to come later in the week. So far, the latest “devastation” is underwhelming. Last night’s video consisted of two brief clips of an employee from ACORN’s Los Angeles office refusing to help O’Keefe and Giles with their “prostitution ring.” As Hannity, O’Keefe and Giles crowed that this was the only employee who had failed to help them, Hannity overlooked the fact that a) other ACORN employees had failed to help them and b) Giles had claimed on a previous show with Hannity that “not one” ACORN office had refused to help them. Hannity also neglected to follow up on Giles’ dubious statement, made on Hannity two months ago, that she had been “working on” verifying whether or not an ACORN employee in San Bernardino had been telling the truth when she boasted in their film about having killed her husband. In fact, a police report has supported the employee’s claim that she had pulled the legs of the scammers because she knew they were fakes. With video.

Connecting The Dots... Glenn Beck's Penchant For Extremists And White Supremacists As Guests

Glenn Beck often attacks the Obama administration with McCarthyesque, guilt-by-association accusations. As it happens, Beck has a bit of 'splaining to do about some of his own radical associations. Sam Stein at the Huffington Post connected the dots and found a rather long string of extremist, white supremacist guests repeatedly hosted by Beck on his shows. (H/T Lula)

The Beck Week That Was; The Case of the Missing Appendix

Guest blogged by Aunty Em

It’s hard to continue to put one foot in front of the other when you no longer know what not to believe in anymore. Due to his emergency appendectomy, Glenn Beck had been off the air an entire seven days. Seven days! That’s just enough time for God to create an entire Universe, and still have a day left over to get herself a pedicure.
