Michelle Malkin Claims Birth Control Mandate Is Really About Abortion
It’s no surprise that Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin are soul siblings of hate. They are both conservative Catholics who would love to return to the days of a white, Christian America when minorities knew their place, gays were in the closet, the poor were invisible, and abortions were performed in back alleys. These were also the days when Catholic bishops wielded a lot of political clout. In the 21st century, their power is greatly diminished but that isn’t stopping them from challenging, on the basis of religious liberty, the Obama mandate about providing free birth control to their employees. Aiding them in their “war,” is Fox News whose seeming non-stop coverage of this “outrage” includes Sean Hannity who, last night, interviewed right wing America’s only acceptable “anchor baby,” Michelle Malkin, who provided her trademark torrent of rapid fire invective against Obama. I really do think she should lay off the caffeine; but then she wouldn’t be as much fun.
Read moreHannity And McGlowan Call Allen West “A Hero”
On the Hannity show’s “Great American Panel” segments last night, GOP Special Victim Sean Hannity spent most of the first part whining about meanie attacks on Republicans. But after the commercial break, he called hate-monger Allen West – who just said that President Obama and other Democrats should “get the hell out of the United States” – a “hero.” Panelist and Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan was just as disapproving in Part 1 and also called West a hero in Part 2.
Read moreFox "Straight News" Biased Panel Promotes Obama "Holy War" Against Catholic Church
It's not only Fox "opinion" that is aiding and abetting the talking points of the US Catholic Bishops who are outraged about the contraception employer mandate from the Obama administration. Official Fox "news" has also taken up the cause of those men who feel that religious liberty trumps women's health and are speaking out against the rule that requires all employer health care plans to provide free birth control. Yesterday, "straight news" anchor, Martha MacCallum provided a pulpit for Fox house priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris, to speak out against the ruling in a video titled "White House's Holy War?" Yesterday, "straight news" anchor Megyn Kelly provided yet another opportunity for Fox to assist the Catholic bishops in their jihad against American women with her panel of three men who oppose the rule. The title of the video provides the Fox News message, "Holy War Over Health Care Law." So "fair & balanced!"
Read moreGretchen Carlson Launches 5th Attack On Vanderbilt Non Discrimination Policy
Wonder if Gretchen Carlson thinks that our nation's Civil Rights laws are just responses to "political correctness?" I ask because the former Miss America and Jesus BFF seems to think that a Vanderbilt non-discrimination policy, which was put in place after a student was expelled from a Christian fraternity because he was gay, is just a silly example of "political correctness." Despite her claim that Fox & Friends is "fair & balanced," this morning's "PC Police" segment was the sixth in a series of attacks on Vanderbilt which included a statement, from Fox priest Fr. Jonathan Morris, that the leadership of "Vandy" is "slimey." Once again, sweet lil Gretch misrepresented the policy in focusing on the bogus meme that it will allow atheists to run prayer groups. Once again, no mention of how religious anti-gay sentiment runs counter to a non-discrimination policy. And for the first time, Gretch let us know what she really thinks about inclusivity. Can we say agenda? Bueller? Bueller?
Read moreNeil Cavuto Talks Impeachment
On yesterday’s Your World, host Neil Cavuto used the “i” word as he suggested that President Obama might be impeached as a result of Republican legal efforts against his recess appointments. Cavuto’s own FoxNews.com noted that it’s quite likely the Republicans have no legal case. But somehow Cavuto didn’t bring that up in his discussion with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), one of the litigants.
Read moreFox Condones Allen West’s Rhetoric And Debates Whether Bob Beckel Should Do The Apologizing
After announcing on Saturday that President Obama and other Democrats should “get the hell out of the United States of America” and then pretending he was only talking about their philosophy, Allen West, a Congressman, demanded that Fox News’ Bob Beckel apologize to him for not referring to him as “Representative” or “Lieutenant Colonel.” And as if that weren’t disgusting enough, Beckel gave West enough credence that he polled the rest of his The Five co-hosts to get their opinions yesterday Even worse, many of them thought Beckel should apologize. So here’s Fox News' fairness and balance: A conservative goes over the top with hate mongering against Democrats and the only thing wrong is that a person who objects didn’t call him “Representative.” And, by the way, as our Aunty Em has pointed out, co-host Eric Bolling, a West defender, has referred to our president as “Barry.” Funny how that was never a problem.
Read moreMartha MacCallum Abets Catholic Bishops Campaign Against Obama Birth Control Mandate
While one can understand that Fox "opinion," as the mouthpiece for the conservative Catholic right, would be on the side of the Catholic bishops in their opposition to the Obama health care mandate that they provide free birth control for their employees (with seven pro-bishop pieces and no opposition), one would assume that Fox "fair & balanced" "news" would be more - uh - "fair & balanced." "America's Newsroom" is one such program but obviously that didn't stop Martha MacCallum, part of Roger Ailes' stable of Catholics, from pushing the propaganda of her Catholic bishops which, as defined by the title of the video, is that Obama is waging jihad ("holy war") against Catholics. And for those Catholics who missed last Sunday's Mass and the reading of the bishops' letter regarding this issue, Martha provided a sweet pulpit for Archbishop Dolan to spread the word.
Read moreRep. Clyburn Deftly Destroys Cavuto's "Tax The Poor More" Argument
On yesterday’s Your World, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) spoke about taxes and spending. It didn’t take long for Cavuto to become argumentative over the thought of taxing the rich – and not the poor – more. Clyburn did a great job holding his ground and even managed to reframe the argument so as to put Cavuto on the defensive over Mitt Romney’s finances.
Read moreGretchen Carlson Continues Fox Attack On Vanderbilt "PC Police"
As a member of the Fox News church of the perpetually outraged Christian, there is nothing that outrages Gretchen Carlson more than atheists who are trying to ruin everything for Gretch and her fellow Jesus BFF's. Gretch is always en garde against those evil atheists who, according to Gretch and her fellow Jesus BFF's on Fox & Friends are trying to take over religious groups at Vanderbilt U.The reality is that "Vandy" has a non-discrimination policy that was put in place after a gay student was expelled from a religious fraternity because he was gay. But Fox & Friends, last fall, spun this as an atheist plot to take over these Christian groups despite no evidence of this. The "fair & balanced" (according to Gretch) Fox & Friends ran four segments including one in which Fox house priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris said that the leadership at Vanderbilt is "slimey." Today, Christian warrior Gretchen Carlson was back for yet another atheist hating fact free attack on Vanderbilt based on testimony from yet more persecuted Christians.
Read moreSarah Palin Complains About Campaign “Negativity”
Poor Sarah Palin. Now that Florida voters resoundingly ignored her recommendation to vote for Newt Gingrich and “annoy a liberal,” she has suddenly become very concerned that negative campaigning is “hurting the electorate.” This from the woman who as recently as last summer suggested President Obama is a traitor who “wouldn’t have a problem” palling around with domestic terrorists. I guess she had to come up with some explanation for her lack of impact.
