Martha MacCallum Pimps Syrian Crisis As Sign Of End Times, Push For Caliphate
Just when you think that Fox News - and I'm talking the official "news" format - can't get any more absurd, along comes something so extraordinarily ridiculous that you just have to ask yourself "are they f**king kidding?!" Such was the case, on yesterday's America Live, when Martha MacCallum actually promoted, with a straight face, the notion that what's happening in Syria is a - wait for it - sign of the end times and the push for a radical Islamic caliphate. And this isn't the first time that this bullshit has been promoted. On Monday, Fox's Neil Cavuto credulously reacted to the "amazing" claims, by Christian Zionist apocalypse huckster, former assistant to Benjamin Netanyahu, and author, Joel Rosenberg, that what's happening in Syria could be a fulfillment of biblical prophesies about the end of days. But Cavuto's show is Fox "opinion" unlike MacCallum's show which is supposedly straight news - not religious broadcasting. Then again, Fox does know its demographics.

Poor Oliver North. All this talk about President Obama’s Syria speech and military strikes has distracted our country from what’s important. Not jobs or the economy. No, the vital topics that we should be discussing, according to him, are the Republicans’ trumped up Benghazi and IRS scandals.
Read moreBrian Kilmeade: Denial Of Permit For Anti-Muslim Bikers' DC 9/11 Tribute Ride Is "Political"
In the us vs. them world of Fox News, the "us" consists of patriotic, Christian Americans who are constantly being assailed by secular, gay, and Islamic forces who get preferential treatment at the expense of said patriotic, Christian Americans. But thank God for Fox News which is there to expose this special treatment which, in the case of Muslims, just might be part of a nefarious "political agenda" originating in the Muslim symp office of our secret Muslim President. At least that's what Brain Brian "all terrorists are Muslims" Kilmeade suggested on this morning's Fox & Friends, where he advanced the latest anti-Muslim, right wing outrage over the denial, by local and national Washington DC apparatchiks, of a permit requested by bikers for their 9/11 memorial bike ride through DC - a ride that is also a counter protest to a fringe Muslim group who have a protest scheduled for today. That the Muslims got a permit and the patriotic bikers didn't could be - wait for it - part of "political agenda."

Read moreHannity Doesn't Want A Little Problem Like Syria To Distract From Tea Party Efforts To Prevent Americans Getting Health Insurance
Self-styled “great American” Sean Hannity is worried that with the possibility of war on the table, his Tea Party viewers might forget that they need to rally against health insurance for everybody else.
Read moreFox News Assuages Hate Group Fears That Fox News Is Going Gay?
Back in August, a report, written by the head of an SPLC designated homophobic hate group Peter Labarbera, surfaced. This report, titled "Unfair, Unbalanced and Afraid:Fox News’ Growing Pro-Homosexual Bias and the National Lesbian & GayJournalists Association," was a 92 page screed about how Fox News, to put it succinctly, was going gay. Much of the report focused on Megyn Kelly and how she supposedly was showing unfair bias towards the nefarious gay agenda. So inquiring minds want to know if it's by accident or design that, since that report reared its ugly head, Fox News has gone even more homophobic in response to this report which is a reflection of the homophobia of many in the Fox News conservative Christian demographic base. Consider this, since the publication of the report, Fox's resident homophobe and all-American patriot, Todd Starnes seems to have been given lots more exposure. (Ewwww)

This morning, Gretchen Carlson joined Chris Wallace and Sean Hannity in the Fox News Syria Sour Grapes Club. Instead of expressing any relief that a military confrontation over Syria’s chemical weapons might have just been avoided, Carlson seemed more determined to make sure that President Obama didn’t get any credit.
Read moreTodd Starnes' Most Stupid Tweet Evah? 'Obama Did Nothing' About Dr. Gosnell!
While he loves Jesus, Fox News' resident homophobe and shit stirrer Todd Starnes is just full to bursting his Southern fried arteries with hatred for the POTUS. He is particularly incensed about the president's desire to strike at Syria after chemical weapons were used on men, women, and children. Given that the Christian bachelor Starnes is adamantly "pro-life," you'd think that he would be upset about the kids who got gassed. Think again. Like so many of his fellow anti-choicers who care more about fetuses than those who have passed the birth canal and who really hate the pro-choice President (who is BTW a "friend" of Al Qaeda), Toddles makes the bizarre and offensive comparison of the gassed children to abortion. Recently, he tweeted that what goes on in Planned Parenthood is worse than the gas attack. And in his desperation to smear Obama, in another bizarre and offensive tweet, he said, "American babies had their spines severed with a pair of scissors -- and Obama did nothing." WTF???!!!!
Read more‘Great American’ Hannity And Buchanan Heart Vladimir Putin’s Syria Actions
Great American” Sean Hannity couldn’t have sounded more delighted as he announced last night that the latest Fox News polls are “devastating” for President Obama. “Bring back the cowboy from Texas,” Hannity added. Maybe that’s because George W. Bush looked Vladimir Putin in the eye and knew in an instant what a great guy he is.
