Neil Cavuto Should Be Ashamed Of His Attacks On Rep. Barbara Lee
Instead of just coming out and saying he wants to get rid of the undocumented kids who have flooded our border in his recent “Common Sense” commentary, Neil Cavuto cloaked what he must have thought was an unappealing attitude in a personal attack on Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA). Because, apparently, smearing Democrats is always thought to look good on Fox.

We would not expect Late Night host Seth Meyers to grill Megyn Kelly on the ways she disingenuously promotes Fox News propaganda, but even a little skepticism about her claim to be a “fair, down-the-middle journalist” would be in order, don’t you think?

Republican guest Kate Obenshain was so ridiculously off-base last night that Bill O’Reilly slapped her down so that Democrat James Carville didn’t have to.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Exploits Another Tragedy To Spread Misinformation On 'Illegals'
Most undocumented immigrants are law abiding. Research suggests that "first-generation immigrants make their communities safer by working hard and raising families." But in an effort to foment fear and loathing of this community, the right wing promotes a narrative of criminal aliens running wild in our streets because of our lax immigration laws. Bill O'Reilly has advanced this anti-immigrant trope. In 2007, he obsessed about an undocumented man who, in Virginia, caused two traffic fatalities which, according to Bill, wouldn't have happened if this man had been deported. O'Reilly's outrage generated a shouting match between him and Geraldo Rivera who accused Bill of "obscuring a tragedy to score a cheap political point." Last night, O'Reilly, once again, obscured a tragedy to, once again, validate his xenophobia and, for good measure, bash the President for not keeping those criminal brown people out of his peaceful white America. And once again, his propaganda doesn't fit the facts.

Last night, Sean Hannity got together with one of his favorite bigots, Pat Buchanan. Most of the discussion was about the border crisis. But as the discussion ended, Hannity blatantly prodded Buchanan to attack President Obama for giving a shout out to American Muslims on WhiteHouse.gov.
Read moreLatest Fox Fraud: Falsely Painting Nancy Pelosi As A Hamas Supporter
Nancy Pelosi’s suggestion that Qatar might be a good peace broker between Israel and Hamas is Fox's latest excuse to use its love for Israel as a pretext to hate on America. Instead of debating Pelosi’s proposal, Fox talking heads are in overdrive suggesting she’s some kind of Hamas supporter.
Read moreHannity Hits Back At Russell Brand
Sean Hannity announced that he was going to “educate” the “ignorant” Russell Brand tonight after Brand released a video attacking Hannity over his bullyboy interview with a Palestinian American last week. Unfortunately for Hannity, no sooner did he smack down Brand (at least in his own mind), then panelist Geraldo Rivera took up the same cause.
Read moreElisabeth Hasselbeck Hosts Anti-LGBT Pastor For Whine About Atheists Siccing IRS On Political Pastors
The Christian right loves the 1st Amendment's religious freedom protections, especially when it means restricting women's access to contraception. But they don't have the same degree of reverence for the First Amendment's "separation clause" which prohibits churches from endorsing political candidates lest they loose their tax exempt status. And now that the Freedom From Religion Foundation has, as a result of a 2012 lawsuit, reached an agreement whereby the IRS will more closely monitor churches' involvement in elections, the religious right is mighty pissed and is taking to Fox News to whine about it. This morning, on Fox & Friends, an anti-LGBT pastor lamented this sorry turn of events brought on by evil atheists in tandem with the evil IRS!
