Fox’s Gerri Willis Calls Obama’s Preschool Push ‘Immoral’
On the 2/16/13 Cavuto on Business, the panel worried about the price tag for President Obama’s new “spending push.” Fox Business’ Gerri Willis said, "I think it's immoral to make all these promises when you know at the end of the day you can't afford it, we can't afford it. To say preschool for everybody, are you kidding me? We don't have the money for that. He also promises mortgage assistance, $3000 for everybody. This is just crazy talk, and I think it's immoral to put this across as something that’s actually doable when it's not."
Read moreVan Susteren Overlooks Key Evidence In Her Ohio Voter Fraud Hit Piece
Attorney Greta Van Susteren left out some important information in her report last night as she wrongly suggested that an epidemic of (black, Democratic) voter fraud broke out in Ohio during the last election. In case you missed the inference, FoxNews.com made it explicit with its title and subtitle of the video: How could an Obama supporter vote six times? Veteran Ohio poll worker under investigation for allegedly voting for Pres. Obama six times last November. A photo of the African American offender was positioned next to a head shot of Obama for the still on the video. Van Susteren was so aghast at the selective facts put forth by Fox’s “objective reporter” Eric Shawn, that she forgot to point out how exceedingly rare voter fraud is and that the system seemingly worked to catch what irregularities there are.
Read moreSean Hannity: 'Gutless' SNL Writers Hate Christianity But Are Scared Of Islam!
Among those in the radical Christian right, there is a mind set that the evil, librul mainstream media is bigoted towards Christians. Reinforcing their sense of victimization is their strongly held belief that the anti-Christian media would never treat Muslims with the same way. This is a common sentiment on any Christian "outrage" thread on Fox Nation and other right wing blogs. So it's not surprising that Fox News, the flagship "news" network for persecuted Christians and a venue for some serious Muslim bashing, would provide a platform for the meme of the media "double standard." Monday night, while promoting Christian "outrage" over last Saturday's SNL skit, in which a kick ass risen Jesus deals some death blows on the Romans, seminary drop out Sean Hannity also whined that the anti-Christian SNL would never disrespect Islam. Not surprisingly, he was validated by Fox Radio's very own "fundamentalist barking dog" Todd Starnes who is on a mission from God to expose those nasty Jesus hating, Mohammed loving heathens.
Read moreHerman Cain: Obama’s Popularity Due To 51% Being ‘Misled Enough To Vote For Him’
Fox may have gotten rid of Dick Morris but with the hire of Herman Cain, it looks like we’ll still have plenty of wacky punditry to laugh at for the foreseeable future. In fact, Cain's first appearance on The O’Reilly Factor tonight elicited the kind of O'Reilly response that I previously thought only attached to Morris: Oh, Come On. But that’s what Bill O’Reilly said when Cain argued that the reason President Obama is so popular is because “51% of the voters were misled enough to vote for him.”
Read moreGoldberg: The Liberal Media Mock Rubio Because They’re Scared of Him
Bernard Goldberg seemed a little more cocky than usual last night, during his weekly appearance on the Factor. Instead of whining overmuch about why the evil liberal media are more interested in Marco Rubio’s little drinking malfunction than they are in the Benghazi cover-up, he supplied Bill O’Reilly with some flattering theories: it's because they are compensating for Roger Ailes’s enormous influence, and because they’re scared of Rubio.
Read moreKrauthammer Likens Obama Golf ‘Controversy’ To Kardashian Weddings
Fox News has been hyperventilating over the fact that President Obama shut out the press from covering his golf game with Tiger Woods and some other dignitaries. So it was especially refreshing to see Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer not only shoot down the “controversy” as the biggest “non-story” since the Kardashian weddings but ridicule it, too, by saying, “I don’t think Obama’s out there with Tiger receiving marital advice.”
Read morePeter Johnson Jr. Praises Extremist Ken Cuccinelli In Discussion About Govt 'Threats' To Freedom
That Fox & Friends panders to the extremist base of the GOP was underscored yesterday when Roger Ailes' personal attorney, Cardinal Dolan's pal, Knight of Malta, and Fox "friend" Peter Johnson Jr. interviewed Virginia's current Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli about whether government poses a "threat" to personal freedom. Personal freedom? Really? While Cuccinelli hates Obamacare and federal regulations, he is also a militant anti-abortion activist who doesn't have a problem with government threatening the reproductive freedom of Virginia's women. Yet Johnson (who, according to Steve Colbert, has the dubious distinction of having three names that mean penis) thinks that Cuccinelli is awesome. Guess we know who Fox News will be supporting in the VA governor's race?!
Read moreFox Nation Tries to ‘Akinize’ a Democrat’s Remarks About the Dangers of Carrying Guns
Trust Fox Nation. This morning they're busy trying to create a Todd Akin-style scandal out of a Democratic congressman’s remarks about women’s safety on campus. The lead story is titled “Democrats Have a Full-Blown Akin on their Hands.” The first paragraph reads: "Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection?”
Read moreGlenn Beck: The Obama Administration Is Teaching Workers ‘How To Be Racist’
Glenn Beck visited The O’Reilly Factor tonight, ostensibly to discuss the tension between the Republican Party and the Tea Party. But about halfway through, Bill O’Reilly changed the subject to the story he “broke” last week about sensitivity training at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It wasn’t long before Beck was ranting that the Obama administration is deliberately training federal workers to hate white people.
Read moreTucker Carlson's Continued Attack On Wiccans & U of Missouri Diversity Guide
Despite his frequent whining about how Christians are just soooo mistreated, Tucker Carlson has no problems maligning those who follow a Wiccan belief system. One imagines that Carlson would have a problem if - say - somebody at MSNBC maligned his Anglican church (the more conservative version of Episcopalism) but that didn't stop Carlson from saying, during his misrepresentation, on Fox & Friends, of a religious diversity guide at the University of Missouri, that Wiccans "hate orthodox Christianity." Later, in the same Fox & Friends show, Carlson (and the "Friends" - Clayton Morris and Ann Kooiman) continued to denigrate and mock Wiccans and lie about the University of Missouri. Ah, don't ya love the smell of righteous Christian bigotry in the morning!
