Hannity Makes Racial Attacks Against Eric Holder – Using Debunked New Black Panther Party Case Distortions
As part of his “special” attack show on Attorney General Eric Holder, Sean Hannity made a special effort to portray Holder as an African American racist. But Hannity resorted to a bunch of distortions from the phony-baloney New Black Panther Party “voter intimidation” case - in which nobody was intimidated - to make his argument. Which strongly points to him as the real bigot. Unlike Holder, Hannity has a real history to validate that conclusion.
Read moreFox News’ Attempts To Tie IRS Controversies To Obama Demolished – By Bush’s IRS Commissioner
The O’Reilly Factor hosted former IRS Commissioner, Mark Everson Friday night (6/14/13) to discuss, as guest host Monica Crowley put it, what “could very well be the most dangerous scandal in U.S. history,” the questionable scrutiny by the IRS of Tea Party groups applying for tax-exempt status. Unfortunately for Conspiracy Theory Crowley, Everson destroyed her partisan efforts to make the IRS problems all about President Obama. And there was no way Crowley could blame Everson’s views on “Democrat” partisanship because he was appointed by and served under George W. Bush.

Read moreHannity's "Pro-Life" Propaganda Interview Compares Women To Sea Turtles?
Sean Hannity might be a vicious race baiter and right wing propaganda pusher; but he is also a conservative "pro-life" Catholic whose dislike of abortion and Planned Parenthood is almost as palpable as his dislike of President Obama. While he isn't as strident as his fellow Fox News conservative "pro-life" Catholic, Bill O'Reilly, Hannity doesn't waste an opportunity to highlight his support for those who are anti-choice. Last week, he interviewed a member of the Super Bowl winning Baltimore Ravens, Matt Birk, who, because of his views on abortion and Planned Parenthood, was conspicuously absent when his team recently visited the White House. For Hannity it was a propaganda touchdown as he was able to validate Birk's anti-choice views as well as work in, once again, in the standard anti-choice meme about how Pres. Obama didn't support the Illinois "born alive" bill. Goal?
Read moreFox News Mail Call – 6/15/2013
Fox News viewers must be on summer vacation. Or maybe they finally figured out how to properly email their favorite “fair and balanced” news network. Whatever the reason, we received fewer emails apparently intended for Fox last week. Still, quantity does not equal quality and I hope you’ll find them as enjoyable as I did.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Legitimizes Ted Cruz’s McCarthyism
In case you missed it, Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz has been revealed as a modern-day Joe McCarthy, thanks to the reporting of the New Yorker. The magazine quoted him a few months ago as saying Harvard Law School had “twelve” Communists who “believed in the overthrow of the U.S. Government” on its faculty when he attended in the early nineties. That allegation is disputed by one of Cruz’ former professors, Charles Fried, a Republican who served as Solicitor General in the Reagan administration. But yesterday, Megyn Kelly, in a segment obviously designed to present Cruz as a conservative victim of liberals, “asked,” when confronted with Cruz’ McCarthy-esque allegation, “But do you have reason to believe that’s not true?”
Read moreMonica Crowley: We Know Entitlements Are Narcotics
Monica Crowley came up with yet another conspiracy theory last night. After announcing, “We know entitlements are narcotics,” she “just asked” if Washington lawmakers are “actively trying” to hook people on them “in order to lock in a permanent Democratic voting majority?” And yet, she didn’t lift even a single manicured finger to find the answer. However, that didn’t stop Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, her guest, from supporting her thesis as a conclusion “easily reached.”
Read moreAllen West Our Outrageous Quote Winner Last Week
Newly-minted Fox News contributor Allen West got right in the swim of things when he called Attorney General a "bigger threat" than Al Qaeda. For that, West won our Most Outrageous Quote of the Week poll last week, narrowly beating out Dr. Keith Ablow who accused President Obama of waging "psychological warfare" on Americans.
Read moreMonica Crowley Conspiracy Theory Of The Day: IRS Agents Will Be ‘Packing Heat’ If You’re Audited
My favorite conspiracy theorist, Monica Crowley, is at it again. Her latest far-fetched fantasy just happened to include a deliberate effort to provoke fear and loathing of the IRS by baselessly suggesting that taxpayers would face agents armed with semi-automatic assault rifles during audits. She was assisted with that fear mongering by none other than Martha MacCallum, a supposedly objective host with a penchant for GOP talking points.
Read moreRupert Murdoch’s Divorce From Wendi Deng To Be ‘Jaw-Dropping?’
In case you’ve missed it, there’s been a flurry of media speculation about the reasons why 82 year-old Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce against his serial home-wrecker of a wife, 44 year-old Wendi Deng. Today’s NY Daily News promises that a “jaw-dropping” reason could come in days. Hint: Think Tony Blair.
