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.

Fox Nation Extremists Advocate Violence Over Hoffman NY-23 "Unconcede"

Co-authored by Hula

“Hoffman ‘Unconcedes’ NY-23” was the headline posted at FoxNation.com last night at 8:05 PM EST. Problem is, that’s old – and inaccurate – news. Republican Doug Hoffman, the choice of teabaggers, Limbaugh and Palin in the special election to fill the seat vacated by Congressman John McHugh (who was appointed Secretary of the Army) un-unconceded defeat to Democrat Bill Owens this afternoon, saying that he would await the count of the absentee and military ballots before deciding on a course of action. But waiting is soooo boring, and besides, the citizens of the alternative reality known as FoxNation.com smell blood.

Anti-Defamation League Says Glenn Beck ContributingTo Climate of Extremism

The ADL, whose mission is to "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all," has issued a special report which discusses how Glenn Beck, who is described as "fearmonger in chief," is an example of how "the mainstream media has also played a role in promoting anti-government anger and pandering to people who believe that the Obama administration is illegitimate or even fascistic." He is cited as "the most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger." They add that "Beck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing President Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration." This is followed by several example of Beck's comparison of the Obama administration to Nazi Germany. Sadly, given the nature of Beck's demographics, I don't think his fans really care what the ADL thinks which is ironic given their belief that Obama is Hitler!

Is Glenn Beck Trivializing Rape In Comparing Government Run Health Care To Rapist Polanski?

Remember when the right wing got so upset about a comment made by Democratic Senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, who referenced Nazis in the context of a comment about Guantanamo. They were very angry about the inappropriateness of using a Nazi metaphor in connection with American politics. Flash forward to 2009 and the right wing routinely compares Obama and health care reform to Hitler. Despite the ADL’s Abraham Foxman’s statement that this type of rhetoric is "outrageous, deeply offensive and inappropriate,” Glenn Beck, a voice for America’s radical right, persists in the Obama/health care reform as Nazi metaphor. Last night, on Beck’s “One True Thing” segment, he outdid himself in the "outrageous, deeply offensive and inappropriate” category when he compared government run health care to what Roman Polanski did to a 13 year old girl. In the use of a disgusting act of violence to describe a health care system, he insults our duly elected representatives who are working on health care reform, those who support it, and all who have been sexually assaulted. The question to Beck is “have you no shame, sir?”

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.
