Hannity Pal Phil Robertson: Gays 'Poor Souls' Who Need Jesus, Underage Girls Make Best Wives
If, as the saying goes, you're known by the company you keep, Sean Hannity's support for bigots says a lot about him. One of Hannity's new BFF's is Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson who, in addition to his claim that Louisiana African-Americans were happy during the brutal years of Jim Crow,told Vanity Fair that homosexuality is like bestiality. When A&E temporarily suspended Robertson for his ignorant and bigoted comments, Fox News immediately rallied round Robertson who, according to Fox talkers, was just using his 1st Amendment right to express his "biblical" opinion. Recently, Robertson shared his Christian gospel and sociological perspective to an Alabama audience. One assumes that if a liberal disparaged Tea Party members or recommended underage sex, Hannity would be verclempt; but he obviously has no problem with Robertson's latest bit of hateful ignorance.

According to Fox News' own reporting, the primary runoff last night between Senator Thad Cochran and Tea Party insurgent Chris McDaniel was dramatic. Yet Cochran's close win and McDaniel's refusal to concede is nowhere to be seen on Fox Nation. Do you think it might have to do with the fury being expressed by McDaniel that Cochran won at least in part by courting Democratic voters?
Read moreGreta Van Susteren Convicts IRS’ Lois Lerner Ahead Of The Facts
Fox's Greta Van Susteren didn’t need no stinkin’ proof – or even evidence – to convict IRS’ Lois Lerner and sneer about how lucky she is to have “gotten away with” the crime Van Susteren doesn’t even know for sure has been committed. You'd think that Van Susteren, an attorney, would want to wait for facts before she convicted someone. But not on Fox News.
Read moreDick Cheney And Sean Hannity Fear Monger About A Nuclear Terror Attack
Dick Cheney’s back again! Less than a week after Megyn Kelly called him out for being “so wrong about so much” in Iraq, he got a double segment with lapdog Sean Hannity where the two agreed that everything wrong in Iraq is President Obama’s fault – because the Bush administration invasion was so fab. And in case that isn’t 2003 all over again enough for you, Cheney and Hannity got all mushroom cloudy on us.

Last night, Bill O'Reilly announced his plan for dealing with problems on the border: militarize it and put up a "wall and a barrier." But Fox's Brit Hume isn't exactly buying it. He didn't come right out and say so but he made it clear that the only real solution is a serious reform of our immigration laws.
Read moreFox’s Cavuto Helps Republicans Blame Obama For The Migrant Children Crisis
Fox host Neil Cavuto teamed up with Texas Attorney General – and Republican gubernatorial candidate - Greg Abbott to join the GOP in blaming President Obama for the problem of thousands of undocumented children coming across the border. Cavuto made like he was merely airing Abbott’s partisan view but his first question spoke volumes: “Maybe you can explain to me what’s going on here because they were just sort of dumped on us, and that seems more than an accident. What happened?”
Read moreDuck Dynasty Clan Sean Hannity’s Latest Bigoted BFFs
We can add Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson as another addition to Sean Hannity’s stable of bigoted BFFs. A few weeks ago, Hannity hosted a slobberfest with the Robertson family. It’s quite possible we can add Robertson’s nephew now, too. Tonight, Hannity will host Robertson’s nephew who just happens to be running for Congress and who is boasting of his like-mindedness with Robertson.

As Jon Stewart wisely said, "conservative victimization is the true genius of what Fox News has accomplished." Thus, we see, on Fox News, a steady parade of those who claim victimization on the part of the vast, left wing agenda. When a young person makes this claim, Fox is quick to embrace them. Fox & Friends, in particular, worships those young'uns who speak out against common core and who defy school policy by praising Jesus during graduation speeches. The newest right wing wunderkinder is Andrew Lampart, a Connecticut student who is suggesting that his inability to access right wing sites, on school computers, is part of that vast left wing conspiracy. While he was not present, his claim was praised and validated on last Wednesday's Outnumbered. But sure as white on Fox News, the aspiring Matt Drudge wannabe himself appeared on Friday's Fox & Friends where he was praised and validated!
Read moreMegyn Kelly Helps Extremist Guest Compare Obama To Mafia Kingpin
Extremist Ben Shapiro got a friendly platform on The Kelly File last week where he accused President Obama of masterminding the IRS scandal - without any evidence. Megyn Kelly made a show of distancing herself from Shapiro’s conspiracy theory. But Kelly did it with the kind of wink and a nod that repeatedly signaled to her viewers that she thinks he’s a great guy.
