Fox's Todd Starnes Suggests ‘South Park’ Should Be Investigated For Blasphemy
In his eagerness to stand up against what he views as religious persecution against Christians, Fox News’ Todd Starnes seemed to see no irony in putting very little daylight between himself and Islamic zealotry. Because while he called it “well and good” that the Obama administration has condemned the controversial anti-Muslim film that is so central to the Middle East riots, Starnes asked, “Where are the federal investigations into shows like South Park which has denigrated all faiths?”

While many American jaws dropped over revelations of Mitt Romney’s disdain for half of America, Fox & Friends’ Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade stood by their man. “I would love for that to be a message for any candidate on the stump,” Kilmeade said, to an approving Doocy.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Gives Parents Good Advice?
As the song from the musical, "A Little Night Music," goes, "isn't it rich, isn't it real" that Bill O'Reilly, an accused sexual harasser and purveyor of personal attacks, offers a "tip" on building character in children. While Bill's area of expertise clearly isn't child development, he does claim to be "looking out" for us and our children. One has to look no further than Bill's comment about how the cross dressing teen on "Glee," could encourage children to "experiment" in alternative life styles, to know the concern that Bill has for American youth and their parents. And because Bill is so concerned, he offered, on last night's "Factor," a helpful "tip" to ensure that your kids grow up right. As the title of the aforementioned musical says, "bring in the clowns."
Read moreTucker Carlson Asks: Can You Tell The Difference Between An Occupier And The Mentally Ill Homeless?
Fox & Friends Weekend previewed today’s Occupy Wall Street anniversary protests by turning the whole movement into a mean-spirited joke. Guest host Tucker Carlson pretty much set the tone when he introduced the segment with the sneering question, “How much has Occupy Wall Street actually accomplished?” The guest called upon to deliver the answer was Fox News’ resident comedian, Steven Crowder. Carlson showed off his own sense of humor, too, as he opened the discussion with a knee slapper: “It’s been a year. Can you tell the difference between the average Occupier and the mentally ill homeless? In that time, have you learned to distinguish the two?”

Read moreFox & Friends Hosts "Credible" Pam Geller Who Says Obama "Sanctioned" Middle East Protests
That Fox News is seen as a vehicle for Islamophobia is demonstrated in their willingness to legitimize the views of Pam Geller, the head of a rapidly anti-Islamic, SPLC designated hate group, whose views about Islam, and President Obama's supposed connection to it, go beyond merely hateful into the realm of the bizarre. Last Friday, Geller, who, BTW, justified the murders committed by Anders Breivik, appeared on Fox & Friends where she made the totally batshit crazy claim that President Obama supports Sharia law in America. On Saturday she was back with more batshit crazy claims that Obama is "sanctioning" Muslim rage. Pam Geller (Hofstra drop-out) as foreign policy expert? Really? Only in the strange, alternate reality of the "fair & balanced" Fox "News."

In case there's any doubt that Fox News is deliberately trying to use the violent protests in the Middle East as political fodder against President Obama, check out the not-very-subliminal message repeatedly displayed on Geraldo Rivera At Large last night.
