Bill O'Reilly Threatens To Disrupt Mass Over Immigration Reform!!!
When Bill O'Reilly speaks, people better listen up. As we know, when those whom Bill has scolded don't pay obeisance to the all powerful Bill, they suffer the consequences of his vengeance. And in threatening to wreak havoc for whoever violates his rules, Bill is even threatening the Catholic Church. While O'Reilly had no problem when Catholic bishops exhorted Catholics to contact their congressperson regarding the HHS birth control mandate, he doesn't feel the same way about immigration reform. During a discussion of the Church's position on immigration issues, O'Reilly warned that there will be consequences for Catholic clergy who urge parishioners to support immigration reform legislation. So priests at Manhasset's St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, you've been put on notice. If you dare to articulate support for immigration reform, O'Reilly, during your homily, will raise holy, freaking, hell!!!!! But wait, didn't he once condemn gay activists who did the same?!

We had a larger than usual number of emails this week from people who thought we are Fox News. Many of them were individual requests for investigations into personal situations, which I have not included in order to protect the identity of the sender. Here, for your regular, week-end glimpse into the mind of Fox News viewers is our latest batch. Apparently, a lot of people are not happy with The Five these days!
Read moreYes, Greta Van Susteren, Tim Scott Was Invited To March On Washington Anniversary
Memo to Greta Van Susteren and Herman Cain: You owe your viewers an apology for your misbegotten comments the other night about the March on Washington’s 50th anniversary supposed snub of Senator Tim Scott. In reality, it was Scott who snubbed the event. Are you going to invite him on and grill him over it?
Read moreHannity’s And Pavlich’s Nauseating Attitudes Toward African Americans
I’ve been writing for years about Sean Hannity’s bigotry. Lately, he has been somewhat restrained as his colleague Bill O’Reilly has taken center stage in Fox’s prime time race baiting. But last night, on the same night that O’Reilly apologized for saying that no Republicans had been invited to the March On Washington anniversary – and then chastised them for declining their invitations – Hannity stepped up to the race-baiting plate. He and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich seemed to be trying to outdo each other in attacking the March On Washington commemoration and to patronizingly berate the African American guest, Richard Fowler, who had a differing opinion. While they were at it, they attacked African American concerns about voting rights, too.
Read moreTodd Starnes Discusses Twerking - Ewww?!
As a homo hating, Jesus loving, fried food ingesting American, Todd Starnes has taken it upon himself to comment on the decadent state of American culture. As such, it must have caused him great angst when he "observed" a Brooklyn Pride parade in order to inveigh against the OMG, leather chaps and thongs worn by some of the participants. And while we don't know if he actually OMG watched the VMA awards, he was obviously familiar enough with it in order to write a column - after which he must have taken at least one cold shower before taking to his bed with his bible. So as a public service, ace culture clubber Starnes offers Fox readers (?!) his take on all the "debauchery" during "the great big freak show celebrating all that is wrong with American culture." Is it me or there something deeply unsettling about Todd Starnes writing about "twerking?"
Read moreOMG, Bill O'Reilly Smears Catholic Church While Fr. Jonathan Morris (Sort of) Breaks With GOP On Immigration Bill
As a conservative Catholic, Bill O'Reilly uses his program to bash abortion and women who have them. He continues to engage in character assassination of Dr. George Tiller even after the abortion provider was assassinated. But Tuesday night's "Factor" shows that when it comes to the issue of immigration, O'Reilly isn't really on board with the position of the Catholic bishops who support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants - a position opposed by the GOP. And while he was silent on the Church's public pronouncements about the HHS mandate, he believes that such pronouncements, regarding immigration legislation, raises church/state issues. Meanwhile, official Fox priest Fr. Jonathan, who is a reliable mouthpiece for GOP talking points and who advised Fox viewers to vote GOP or go directly to hell, is supporting the bishops. So is Bill O'Reilly a "cafeteria Catholic" who picks and chooses which dogma to support? Is Fr. Jonathan Morris going rogue on Roger Ailes and the GOP? It's all so confusing....
Read moreDonald Rumsfeld Lectures President Obama About Justifying Military Action Against Syria
I’ll be the first to admit that I have some serious qualms about President Obama’s warmongering against Syria. But turning to Donald Rumsfeld – you know the guy who was largely responsible for our misbegotten Iraq invasion – to critique Obama’s job as Commander-in-Chief is just stupefying. Yet, as it happens, Rumsfeld was on Fox News not once but twice with his unasked-for advice for Obama. He also had an opportunity to do a little whitewashing of his own record at the same time.
