Karl Rove Tries to Cool Carsonmania, Says There May be Fewer Debates in 2016
Dr. Ben Carson may have been mainly a Fox phenomenon immediately after he lectured President Obama at a National Prayer Breakfast last month, but it looks like he’s going mainstream. The conservative speaker and retiring neurosurgeon has been interviewed by CNN, and written up by such bastions of liberalism as the Washington Post. The doctor has been hyped as a candidate for President (or, more recently, a candidate for the vacant Michigan Senate seat) since the day after the prayer breakfast. But he is not on Karl Rove's list of "Conservative Rising Stars," as he told Greta Van Susteren on Friday night.
Read moreBob Beckel And Fox Throw Stones At CBS’ Amazing Race From Their Glass House
In case you missed it, The Five's Bob Beckel went on a tirade last week against CBS for an Amazing Race segment in which contestants were ordered to memorize “communist” Vietnamese songs and visit the site of a downed B-52 bomber. I’ll agree that the segment was not the most sensitive but Beckel’s explosive outburst – in which he told CBS to “take that show and shove it!” – seems rather hypocritical given his perch at Birther Central, aka Fox News, where hate mongering against Americans and our president is their stock in trade.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Attacks "Pinhead" Denver Post Editor Gregory Moore
The insidious nature of Fox News mullah Bill O'Reilly's personal attacks is made even more so by his ability to frame his fatwa's in humorous and avuncular tones. While he's perfectly capable of angrily denouncing his "enemies," he's also able to get the same affect by gently making baseless accusation against them and mocking them as "pinheads." And in true O'Reilly style, he gets the last (and in many cases, the only) word because his victims don't get a chance to respond. But if his targets push back, Bill gets upset. Recently, a Denver Post journalist accused O'Reilly of gay baiting the CO House Speaker because of the Speaker's opposition to O'Reilly's pet legislation, Jessica's Law. The writer appeared on The Factor and despite O'Reilly's delusional claims of having bested the man, his presentation was calm and articulate. But because Bill always needs to have the last word, he's now turning his wrath on the editor of the Denver Post who is being called a "Pinhead" for supposedly turning his paper into an arm of the Democratic Party. (And this is being said on Fox News, Oh, the irony!)
Read moreFox & Friends Enlist In The War On Easter
Bill O'Reilly's stalker/ambush producer, Jesse Watters was a guest co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend this morning where he bravely did his part to save Easter from the evil forces who want to ruin it with "spring egg hunts." He was helped with that endeavor by birther and affirmative action foe, Professor Carol Swain.
Read moreBill O'Reilly's Holy Altar Boys Push "Higher Power" & Mock Gay Themed High School Play
Bill O'Reilly and his boys, Bernard McGuirk and Greg Gutfeld have so much in common. Not only are they devout, pro-life Catholics who revel in their homophobia and misogyny, but all three are former altar boys. For those of you of a given age and religious background, you know the type - the wise ass jerks beloved by sistah who doesn't know that they are passing around their dad's used Playboys. One wonders if sistah would be proud of those saintly, little Catholics, now grown up, who agree that the bogus "war on Christmas" is caused by "misanthropic heathen atheists," slutty sluts who have abortions, and, ta-da, the gay agenda. That was during a December "Factor." Flash forward to March 15 when the boys did some more atheist and gay bashing as well as advancing the popular persecuted Christian whine that Muslims get better treatment than Christians. I don't know if they're getting time off in Purgatory for their efforts in fighting the forces of evil secularism; but it sure does make their Fox fatha, Bill O'Reilly, mighty happy!
Read moreAnother Fox News Sunday With No Democratic Guests
We've been keeping an informal tally of Fox News Sunday shows that exclude Democratic guests. We can add today's guest roster to our growing list. Today's guests: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) followed by a debate on same-sex marriage with Republican Nicolle Wallace and American Values' Gary Bauer - also a Republican. The panel discussion included Democrat Evan Bayh and quasi-liberal Juan Williams but they were balanced by Republican Newt Gingrich and conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin. Fair and balanced? I don't think so!
Read moreSean Hannity Waterboard Watch: 1432 Days Since Promising To Undergo 'Dunking' For Charity
Sean Hannity is still calling waterboarding "dunking." So why, then, has he not fulfilled his promise to prove that point and undergo it himself for charity? It has been nearly four years -or 3 years, 11 months and 2 days - since Hannity made that vow to Charles Grodin on April 22, 2009.
Read moreSean Hannity's Plan To Shut Down The Government Not Going So Well
You may recall that a few nights ago Sean Hannity grandstanded his proposal to shut down the government as he showed off his "principles" to Fox's newly-anointed presidential candidate for 2016, Dr. Benjamin Carson. Carson kinda sorta went along with the idea but he fell short of fully endorsing it. Thursday night (3/21/13), however, Ann Coulter swatted it away as nothing less than useless.
Read moreSt. Ronald Reagan's Son Calls Fox 'Stale And Predictable'
You can practically hear the angels sing every time Fox News mentions Ronald Reagan's name. But Reagan's son and the president of the Reagan Legacy Foundation, Michael Reagan, suggests his father might not be returning the admiration were he to be still walking amongst us. In a blunt, no-punches-pulled column for Newsmax, Reagan suggests Fox change its slogan from "fair and balanced" to "stale and predictable."
Read moreBill O'Reilly's War On Women - 2013 Campaign
Now that Bill O'Reilly doesn't have Dr. Tiller to kick around any more, that doesn't mean that he's backing down from his nationally televised anti-abortion jihad which includes impugning the motives of women who have late term abortions. As he did during his attacks on Dr. Tiller, O'Reilly continues to infer that women who have late term abortions are just a bunch of slutty, stupid, and selfish sluts who "murder" their "babies" for any reason or no reason. Rather than trusting women, O'Reilly thinks that we have late term abortions, not because of a serious health or life impairing condition, but because we're having a bad hair day. I don't know if Bill's absolute misogyny stems from his wife having dumped him and married another guy; but it's clear that Bill has a problem with women, especially those who exercise their bodily autonomy which, in Bill's "traditionalist" Catholic world, is a great big sin - and Torquemada Bill won't let us forget it!
