O’Reilly and Krauthammer Accuse Obama of Trying to Split the Republican Party So He Can Establish His Welfare Paradise
We’re all familiar with Fox News’ practice of blaming everything on Obama, from the recession to the deficit to gas prices to the warts on their feet. Last night, O’Reilly and guest Charles Krauthammer added "trying to destroy the Republican party" to that list, ignoring the fact that the Republican party is destroying itself quite effectively all on its own.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Still Lying About Great Barrington MA
Let's take a trip down memory lane back to 2007 when Bill O'Reilly, as War on Christmas commander-in-chief, declared war on Great Barrington Massachusetts. Bill sent his faithful stalker, Jesse Watters, to this beautiful town in the Berkshires in order to shame them over their curfew on OMG "holiday lights" due to environmental concerns. Suffice to say, the residents were not shamed. In 2008, O'Reilly lied that Great Barrington had tried "to discourage Christmas" in 2007 and because they still "opposed" it (lie) he had sent Watters back there to continue to shame the locals who, again, weren't impressed. And in an amazing bit of historical revision, Watters claimed that the Bill O'Reilly show "saved Christmas" in Great Barrington. In one of his last lies of 2012, O'Reilly asserted that Great Barrington "hates Christmas" - and just like his other assertions, this one just isn't true.
Read moreGot Hypocrisy? Fox & Friends, The Five Accuse Pres. Obama Of Using Children As Props!
The "Fair & Balanced" news network never wastes an opportunity to attack the president even when it relates to the horrific massacre of school children in Connecticut. After word got out that some children, who had written to the president about gun violence, will be with President Obama when he discusses his proposals for making schools safer, the right wing immediately attacked. Fox Nation featured a thread with Rush Limbaugh's accusation that the president is using human shields. It also has Michelle Malkin's article and Fox's Chris Stirewalt's articles in which they essentially say the same thing. The wall of geniuses on last night's The Five were full of high dudgeon about the news. While the curvy couch potatoes on Fox & Friends were more measured, they advanced the Fox propaganda meme that the president is exploiting kids for his own agenda. (They also offered a suggestion as to how to get around the new NY gun laws). But these clowns have either forgotten or are ignoring the fact that their beloved George W Bush did the same thing and, as far as I know, nobody on Fox cared!
Read moreFox 'Democrat' Pat Caddell likens Obama To Nixon
On yesterday's America Live, Pat Caddell spoke about the President being joined by children at press conference on a new gun control plan. He was allowed to talk uninterrupted for almost a minute as he bashed President Obama. Megyn Kelly asked if Obama had gone “beyond the pale.”
Read moreGot Hypocrisy? Bill O'Reilly Attacks Julianne Moore For "Cheap Shot" At Sarah Palin!
You just can't make this up. A guy whose lucrative métier is based on personal attacks is now offering "tips" on how to be a better person. Yes, folks, it's non other than Bill O'Reilly who now has a nightly "tip of the day" during which O'Reilly proffers advice on stuff like Christmas (not Hanukkah) gifts and the good Karma of being nice to people which is rather ironic given that O'Reilly specializes in not being nice - a characteristic for which he was given a "Courage Award" by a hate group for his efforts in contributing to a climate of hate in which an abortion provider, whom O'Reilly dubbed a "killer," was murdered. Last night, this paragon of morality advised his viewers to be "magnanimous" - unlike that nasty Julianne Moore who, according to America's Daddy, took a "cheap shot" at Sarah Palin during Moore's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. OH, the irony! OH, the hypocrisy!
Read moreCould Fox Find A More Unflattering Photo Of Obama At Press Conference?
Right now, at the top of "fair and balanced" Fox Nation, is a story with the headline, "Major Garrett Calls Obama Out On Vote Against Debt Ceiling." The article, itself, is a video and transcript of Fox News alum Garrett's gotcha question for Obama at today's press conference. But if you think Fox Nation didn't deliberately choose the most unflattering photo of Obama they could find, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Scoffs At Separation Of Church & State
Fox News is an alleged "fair & balanced" "news" network that never wastes an opportunity to feature a seemingly endless supply of persecuted Christians. Still simmering from the bogus outrage about an MSNBC host supposedly demanding that the bible be banned from presidential inaugurations, the church of the perpetually outraged has their tidy Christian whiteys in a bunch because a public school science teacher was, according to Fox tidy Christian whitey king Todd Starnes, told to take down Christian religious visuals from her class. Items included a poster with a bible verse superimposed on an American flag and OMG, a Christian quote from the GOP lord of lords, Ronald Reagan. While it appears that this stuff crosses the line of separation of church and state, not so for the Christian right who received warm fellowship and validation from alleged Fox News anchor, Megyn Kelly on today's "must see" America Live "news" show.
Read moreGuns Galore: Fox Holds Up Chicago as An Example of the Failure of Gun Laws
Chicago had a very high number of murders in 2012, and it also has some of America's toughest gun control laws. This morning, America’s Newsroom tried to use that factoid to prove that gun control didn't work, and brought a scary liberal guest, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, onto the show to rub his face in it. Jackson, however, rose to the occasion effortlessly.
Read moreFox Tries To Blame Burglary On Journal News Gun Map
In yet another attempt to demonize and destroy the New York Journal News – the small Westchester newspaper that printed the names and addresses of gun owners - Fox & Friends baselessly tried to blame a burglary of one of the gun owners on the fact that his was one of the names and addresses published. Even though Fox host Judge Jeanine Pirro – who was also a guest on the show and another gun owner outed by the paper – made it clear there was no evidence of cause and effect.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Teases "Banning The Bible From The Inauguration" On The Factor
I know, putting Bill O'Reilly and "tease" in the same sentence is truly gag worthy. But snark aside, it isn't surprising to see that America's culture warrior in chief and Catholic role model Bill O'Reilly jump on board the newest outrage from the right wing church of the perpetually outraged; i.e. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell's commentary about having US presidents swear on a book that's full of holy whoop ass. Yesterday, official Fox chaplain and Roger Ailes clergy mouthpiece, Fr. Jonathan Morris, preached the TOTALLY BOGUS Fox propaganda message that the evil, librul O'Donnell is calling for eliminating the bible at presidential inaugurations - a book that not all presidents have used and a book from which Thomas Jefferson excised all the miracles. And not to be outdone, it looks like Bill, as reported on the Fox News Insider, will doing more of the same in his upcoming segment about "banning the bible from the inauguration!" Wo-hoo!!!
