Fox & Friends Want You To Be Very Afraid If New York Doesn’t Stop And Frisk
On Wednesday’s Fox & Friends, the Curvy Couch Crew didn’t just disapprove of Judge Shira Scheindlin’s ruling that New York City’s stop and frisk program is unconstitutional, they seemed determined to frighten their viewers into thinking that they were about to be victims of violent crimes at any moment. Gretchen Carlson set the tone when she announced, “People in Chicago, now, well, they’re warning New York: expect bad stuff to start happening here as a result of not being able to do that.”
Read moreMartha MacCallum And Hate Group Guest Attack Student Transgender Rights Law Which Has Bathroom "Implications"
When it comes to the culture war, official Fox "news" anchor, Martha MacCallum is a very good soldier. She was horrified about the availability of emergency contraception because, she felt, it would mean that slutty teens could purchase the pill if they thought that they might be pregnant. That was a lie because the pill doesn't, as she suggested, cause abortions. And when it comes to anti-bullying school programs that include lessons on gender diversity, she was in full agreement with the head of the homophobic hate group, the Family Research Council, Tony Perkins that schools should focus on academics rather than "transgender lessons." Monday, she joined the Fox propaganda blast against the landmark CA law, aimed at protecting transgender students, by agreeing with FRC spokesperson and all around homophobe Peter Sprigg that this law will allow students to "change their identity" on a daily basis. As she did with Perkins, she opined that schools should focus on academics. And, in keeping with the popular Fox talking point, there was an abundance of bathroom references. (What is it with bathrooms and the Christian right???)
Read moreCavuto Helps Levin Promote Notion That Obamacare Is Unconstitutional
On Tuesday (8/13/13), Neil Cavuto spent the first 20 minutes of Your World interviewing “one of my favorite people,” hate monger Mark Levin. Cavuto was so serious during the interview it was as if he was speaking to a politician or a head of state. Even though it was pretty clear Cavuto disagreed with several of Levin’s extremist views.
Read moreO'Reilly Can't Understand Why Levar Burton Called Him A 'Patronizing' 'A**hole'
O’Reilly Factor ambush producer Jesse Watters visited a Star Trek convention recently and aired his silly report on The Factor last night. But the one encounter that grabbed the most attention was a brief conversation with Star Trek actor LeVar Burton in which he said that Bill O’Reilly had been “patronizing” and acted like an “a**hole” during a recent interview in which they had discussed racial profiling and the George Zimmerman verdict.
Read moreHannity’s Plan To Blame Egypt Unrest On Obama Backfires
Sean Hannity’s attempt to blame President Obama for the problems in Egypt - and not so surreptitiously suggest Obama cares more about the welfare of Islamic extremists than Americans - went hilariously awry last night as even his conservative guest, Pat Buchanan, swatted it away as ridiculous and ignorant.
Read moreBill O'Reilly: Student Transgender Rights Bill Encourages Bad Bathroom Behavior!
As a conservative Catholic "traditionalist," Bill O'Reilly mourns the demise of a power structure in which women and minorities knew their place, gays were in the closet, and the whole concept of transgender was considered the work of Satan. As such, Bill's take on transgender issues is so bad that he has been cited by GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). So now that California has enacted legislation, which protects transgender students, O'Reilly has offered us his sagacious opinion about it. As I reported, both Greg Gutfeld and the happy hosts of Fox & Friends were obsessed about how kids will pretend to be transgender so they can sneak a peek in bathrooms for the opposite sex (yeah, watching people urinate is so sexy). So it's no surprise that O'Reilly, whose sexual fantasies involve sneaking into a woman's shower and grabbing her breasts from behind, would focus on the bathroom stuff. But it gets better. He even joked about how the law is awesome because straight guys can use it to get into girls' rest rooms which is what he would do if he is reincarnated as a CA public school student. Ewwwww!!!!!!!
Read moreBill O’Reilly Joins The Fox News War Against Oprah Winfrey
Bill O’Reilly continued his attacks on African Americans – and pretending that it’s for their own good – by joining the Fox News war on Oprah Winfrey last night. Oh, he distanced himself from his colleagues by pretending to side with Oprah in saying she had the right to “express her feelings” about that now-infamous incident in Zurich, in which a sales clerk refused to show her a purse, that white Fox pundits have leapt to conclude Oprah misconstrued. Instead, O’Reilly suggested she was being irresponsible and, perhaps racially suspect (although he later denied that) in talking about what happened to her in the first place because the racial “grievance industry” will exploit it.
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Student Transgender Rights Bill Will Encourage Bathroom "Pranks"
When you strip away the bible quotes, the real basis for the homophobia of the Christian right seems to be an obsession with the supposed "unnaturalness" of gay sex. And when it comes to the whole concept of transgender, the small and narrow minds of the Christian right get totally short circuited. This is shown by the collective freak-out, by usual "family values" suspects, about a new California law which protects transgender students. But forget about sex, the strange obsession here is all about bathrooms - an obsession that seems to suggest that these God fearing types have some rather supersized kinky boots. That these boots are made for walking was demonstrated, Tuesday, when the happy hosts of the "morning happy-talk show that "Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream" talked about the California student transgender rights law with a focus on - wait for it - bathrooms - the same focus used by Greg Gutfeld last week. Talk about a bunch of pissants!
Read moreGret Gutfeld Mocks California Transgender Rights Bill And Students Who Benefit From It
Greg Gutfeld, a product of twelve years of Catholic education and author of "The Joy of Hate," is damned proud of his having been named, by GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) one of the worst anti-gay and anti-transgender voices of 2008. He was given this accolade because, as he gleefully expressed it, he referred to sex change operations as turning a "pole into a hole." That he is vying for a spot in the 2013 awards was demonstrated in his comments on last week's Factor where he was filling in for Bill O'Reilly who, like his soul brotha Gutfeld, has made derogatory comments about the transgender community - comments that generated a call, from GLAAD, to boycott O'Reilly's sponsors. Gutfeld, in promoting the transphobia of the radical Christian right, mocked the new California law which is about "supporting transgender students in an environment where they are routinely subjected to discrimination and harassment." Comedian Gutfeld showed what a joker he is by mocking this as "the bathroom bill
Read moreFox Host MacCallum Teams Up With White Birther Benkie To Chastise Oprah About Race
It’s bad enough that Fox News can’t stop whitesplaining to Oprah Winfrey that she was too racially sensitive about Trayvon Martin's death but for America Live host (white) Martha MacCallum to gang up with (white) birther Dee Dee Benkie to accuse Winfrey of being overly-sensitive about racial profiling was really beyond the pale, pardon the pun. Even worse, Benkie baselessly suggested Oprah had made up an anecdote about being profiled in a fancy store in Zurich to promote her new movie.
