Fox News "mouth breather"Todd Starnes actually told his his pals in the SPLC designated homophobic hate group, The Family Research Council, that he "prides himself on his accuarcy" and that - wait for it - his readers are "getting the most accurate information possible." Somebody give me an ROFLMAO because, as so astutely pointed out by his critics, Todd is a "shit stirrer" who writes "formulaic columns in which he wildly misrepresents the actual set of circumstances, sources an anonymous person who always has some sort of excuse for why he or she must remain shrouded, and then tries his damnedest to create a national incident out of whole cloth, working with pals like Tony Perkins and Bryan Fischer (Starnes is a regular guest of both gentlemen's radio shows) to rile up the choir." But it's not only his columns, his tweets are full of glaring and incendiary statements, one of which isn't even supported by his actual article. But Toddles does love him his greasy Southern food and if it clogs up arteries, it probably clogs up the brain?!

Fox News Sunday - probably mindful that the big Benghazi anniversary they were so hoping to exploit is about to be overshadowed by Syria - spent eight minutes discussing Benghazi during today's panel discussion. Unfortunately, their efforts, spearheaded by Karl Rove, were magnificently thwarted by Juan Williams.

While the rest of the world acknowledges that the misbegotten invasion of Iraq is hampering President Obama’s ability to get support for a military strike against Syria, Fox News seems determined to make Obama the sole villain – and rewrite history in favor of the George W. Bush administration. I’ve written already about Fox using Syria for a Republican Rehabbing of Rumsfeld. Last night, it was George W. Bush’s turn. 

"National security expert" (and two-time voter fraud suspect) Ann Coulter's comments about President Obama's proposed strike against Syria decisively won our Outrageous Quote of the Week poll last week, garnering 57, or 26%, of the 220 votes cast. 

On the September 4^th Special Report, Brit Hume’s commentary used the possible military strike against Syria as an excuse to strike against President Obama – by suggesting that if he only he believed more in American “exceptionalism,” we would never have gotten into this position to begin with.

Earlier this week, Eric Bolling encouraged prison inmates to emulate Ariel Castro and commit suicide. Disgusting? Yes. But Bolling got his just comic rewards on the Colbert Report last night!

I've previously reported on how Fox News has rehabilitated disgraced Donald Rumsfeld into some kind of national security maven - who just so happens to have some criticisms of President Obama's policies at the ready. Now, Media Matters has put together a mashup video comparing tough questions from other networks about Rumsfeld's failed Iraq invasion with Fox's softball questions.

For the hottest trend in right wing Christian homophobia look no further than the aggrieved Christian claim that laws which prohibit discrimination against gays are a violation of religious liberty. That's right folks, Jesus hates fags and because he does, Christians should be free to discriminate against them. And it's not that these fine, upstanding paragons of morality have anything against gays, no sireee. It's all about how selling stuff to gays makes the Christians complicit in dirty, filthy sin. True story. This is the rationale of Christian bakers, who, according to Todd Starnes, were forced to close their doors because they were getting hassled, by "militant" gays, over their refusal to bake a wedding cake for a sinful lesbian wedding. Not surprisingly, this latest "controversy," involving biblical marriage supporting Christians, was promoted by Fox & Friends which is the Fox sanctuary for aggrieved Christians regardless of denomination - as long as that denomination is conservative and very heterosexual Christianity. 

There are many things one might call Sean Hannity but "statesman" is not one that seems likely to come to most people's minds. So what does it say about Florida's Sarasota Republican Party that they plan to honor him as their Statesman of the Year later this month? Plenty, once you find out who last year's winner was.

Sean Hannity may have weaseled out of his pledge to undergo waterboarding for charity, but that doesn’t mean he can’t talk tough about going to war with Iran instead of "merely" bombing Syria - when other people will be feeling the pain.
