Monica Crowley Conspiracy Theory Of The Day: Anthony Weiner’s Wife Part Of Creeping Sharia
On Friday night (7/26/13), the Hannity show offered another “studio audience” show which, like most such Hannity shows, was little more than a panel discussion with a larger collection of the usual guests discussing the usual Hannity subjects. In this particular segment, the topic was, as Hannity pal Bill Cunningham put it, “Anthony’s Weiner case.” But perhaps because this was a special show, the panel didn’t just settle for run-of-the-mill smears of Democrats. No, for that night, they came up with a treat for their right-wing audience: accusing Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, of being connected to Islamic "supremacists" and, possibly, Hillary Clinton, the potential 2016 presidential candidate.
Read moreSteve Doocy Revs Up Fox News Hillary Clinton Attack Machine With Claim That NBC Clinton Series Is "Media Bias"
Ya gotta love it. A host on Fox News, the media arm of the GOP right wing, says that NBC is biased. Yep, that's what Steve Doocy told us, this morning, when he claimed that NBC's planned bio-pic mini-series, on Hillary Clinton, is proof of the bias that "fair & balanced" Fox would never show, right? Obviously, a television network has every right to produce whatever material they want; but according to the so non biased (just kidding) "Newsbusters," the series, which will air in prior to the 2016 election, shows that "the media is in full court press" to get Hillary Clinton elected." Fox News, never wasting an opportunity to allege librul media bias, is picking up the meme. Oh, the irony! And for Steve Doocy, this is quite the twofer as it gave him an opportunity to attack Clinton and bring up - wait for it - Benghazi. Fasten your seatbelts cuz with the Fox News Clinton attack machine in gear, it's gonna be a rough ride!

Yesterday, Politico reported, "In a major shakeup for the radio industry, Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is planning to drop both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations at the end of the year, an industry source told POLITICO on Sunday." But don't celebrate the end of hate radio just yet.
Read moreSen. Mike Lee Backs Away From Obamacare Shutdown Threat
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) was a guest on Fox News Sunday this morning where he backed down from his plan to threaten to shut down the government if Obamacare was not defunded. It was big enough news that Huffington Post and Politico reported on it. But Wallace let Lee's flip-flop pass unremarked.
Read moreFox News Pimps Bogus 'Botched Abortion' Story To Advance Operation Rescue's Abortion Provider Smear
That Fox News is a media arm of the anti-choice movement was underscored earlier this month. On July 11th, three "news" pieces focused on charges, made by the radical anti-choice Operation Rescue, that a Maryland late term abortion provider has injured an abortion patient. In the reporting, Fox advanced the anti-choice meme that this doctor has already killed a patient in a late term "botched" abortion when, in reality, the woman died of a rare complication that also happens in childbirth. In February, Fox "news" guy, Bret Baier, exploited the tragedy in order to push the anti-choice assertion that the doctor is guilty of malfeasance and the clinic should be shut down. It's July and the clinic is still open. But in his desperation to get attention for his cause, radical, anti-choice domestic terrorist Rev. Patrick Mahoney is making the claim that the doctor has done another "botched abortion." Providing publicity for Mahoney's attack on the doctor is Fox News which is also using this case to push the anti-choice message that restrictive abortion laws are really all about helping women and. Fox "News," fair & balanced as always!

Read moreFox News To America: Minimum Wage Of $7.25/Hr Good Enough For You
Yesterday’s Bulls & Bears opened with an effort to kill a discussion about calls for raising the minimum wage. Host Brenda Buttner began by asking regular Gary B. Smith, a reliable conservative voice on the show, “Will maximizing the minimum wage minimize or maximize our job growth?”
Read moreGot Hypocrisy? Peter Johnson Jr. Holds Anthony Weiner To Standards Not Applied To GOP Bad Boys
Ya gotta love it. Knight of Malta, Cardinal Dolan gumba, Roger Ailes' Consigliore, and Fox News host Peter Johnson Jr. (Per Colbert, a name that's three euphemisms for penis) is having a fit of the vapors about Anthony Weiner and wants more Democrats to urge him to quit the mayoral race. Yet, as far as I know, Johnson didn't have the same reaction to Republicans who got caught doing more than just sending pictures of their junk. I don't recall Johnson being outraged about the congressional candidacy of Mark Sanford who, when he was the SC governor, lied about being on a hike when, at taxpayer expense, he was visiting his Argentinean mistress. I don't think Johnson had a problem when David Vitter, after having been exposed as the diaper clad client of a Washington DC prostitute, ran for re-election to the US Senate. I don't remember if Johnson exhorted Republicans to urge these fine fellows to get out of their races. Oh, right, the two aforementioned politicians are conservative, Christian, pro-life, family values Republican men who were saved by Jesus. Right...

Read moreTodd Starnes Wins Our Most Outrageous Quote Poll Again!
Todd Starnes' perpetual hatred for America has earned him our Most Outrageous Quote Of The Week slot for the second time this month. Starnes' most recent tirade was a masterwork of incendiary hypocrisy. First, he attacked President Obama for "trying to tear (the country) apart" for not speaking out about the George Zimmerman verdict and Trayvon Martin. Then, after President Obama did speak out, Starnes claimed that that "justif(ied)" his earlier comment, that Obama "truly is trying to tear our country apart."
