Read moreSteve Doocy Defends Phil Robertson's Anti-Gay Christianity As 'Sacrosanct'
Whenever Bill Maher lampoons Christianity, he is bashed for being anti-Christian. Yet, when Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson's ugly homophobic comments were condemned by GLAAD, the same folks who are offended by Maher claim that those who criticize Robertson are attacking his Christian faith. And in defending Robertson's crude statements, they invoke freedom of speech (not accorded Maher or Martin Bashir), religious freedom, and the word of God. This morning, Fox & Friends, hosted the owners of a company that sponsors Duck Dynasty. They stand with Phil because they share his biblical beliefs which, of course, include the notion that gays are going to hell. The curvy couch Christians had no problem with the comments because they're based on faith - in fact, the segment was part of their "fight for faith" series.
Read moreDid Fox's Ed Henry Try A 'Merry Christmas' Gotcha On President Obama?
During his press conference today, President Obama called on Fox News' Ed Henry. Before completing his question, Henry said, "Merry Christmas, by the way." Do you think this was just a good wish or a gotcha question to catch President Obama on camera as a possible Christmas enemy?
Read moreSteve Doocy Validates Pro-Life Teacher Fired For His 'Beliefs'
Yesterday, the same folks who constantly bray about liberal (and Muslim) indoctrination in public schools provided their full support for an Oregon school teacher who espoused his virulently anti-choice, Catholic views in his public school classroom and was subsequently fired for this. His case has become a cause célèbre in the anti-choice community. Despite his history of anti-choice classroom advocacy and other behavior that was considered to be an impediment to his working relationship with students and staff, the Fox & Friends hosts ignored these details in their defense of this teacher who, according to formerly pro-choice Elisabeth Hasselbeck, was just trying to provide "balance" (!) to the evil forces of Planned Parenthood who were part of a school approved program to combat teen pregnancy. This morning, in keeping with its role as a media platform for the anti-choice movement and Christian victimhood, Fox News provided a platform for this teacher, William Diss, to receive warm support for his claim that he is being persecuted for his beliefs.

Read moreO’Reilly Becomes Unhinged Debating Mikey Weinstein In The War On Christmas: “I Covered Four Wars With A Pen!”
Bill O’Reilly has a new front in the War on Christmas: two nativity scenes in Guantanamo Bay. Unfortunately for O’Reilly, he was no match for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation's Mikey Weinstein, who successfully lobbied to have them removed. Let’s just say that the segment ended with O’Reilly cutting Weinstein's mike and proclaiming that his having covered “four wars with a pen” was comparable to military service.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Repeats His Christmas Lie
In a rare moment of honesty and self-awareness, Bill O'Reilly once described himself as a "sociopath." And Bill does fit the characteristics of sociopaths who are "unable to control their behavior and their expressions of annoyance, irritability and threats when faced with situations not appealing to them" and who "often tend to resort to threats, aggression and verbal abuse." Another aspect of this anti-social disorder is the tendency to lie and as we know from observing Bill O'Reilly, lo these many years, he plays fast and loose with the truth. On a recent Factor, Bill claimed that one of his War on Christmas victories was forcing companies to rescind their order that workers not say Merry Christmas. On a recent View appearance, he said the same thing. The problem is that this is a great, big lie. It never happened except in Bill's mind.
