Steve Doocy & Mark Steyn Use Bogus 'Obama Phone' To Play Race Card?
While some Republicans are doing some serious soul searching about how their failure to reach out to minorities cost them the presidency, Fox News is doubling down on the bigotry that - duh - does alienate minorities from the GOP. Since President Obama took office, the alternate reality of rightwing world has been suffused with the notion that because Obama is African-American, he is giving out "free stuff" to lazy, shiftless blacks. The latest iteration of this meme is the bogus "Obama Phone" which, in bizarro world, is a free phone for lazy, shiftless blacks. Not only did conservative "comedian," Steven Crowder, promote, on Fox & Friends, this right wing urban legend; but Fox & Friends used a bogus visual in the process. Last week, Steve Doocy's guest, Mark Steyn, whose paranoia about Muslims and immigrants ruining Western, white society is in a league with Pat Buchanan, cited the "Obama Phone" in a discussion about how those welfare slackers who want free stuff are ruining the country.

Count Cal Thomas as the latest member of the Fox News Sore Losers Club.

Read moreGretchen Carlson Trashes Obama Supporting Single Ladies Who Want Free Stuff
The results of the recent election show that the single ladies didn't have their hands raised for Mitt Romney. But rather than thinking about ways to appeal to them, Fox is trashing them with the claim that the Obama vote was based on wanting free stuff - a meme Fox is also is using to trash minorities. There was some rich irony in Friday's "Culture Warrior" segment which had the unmarried mother, Laura Ingraham, presiding over a discussion which was, in sweet and subtle tones, another attack on single women. Given that right wing icon (gag) Phyllis Schafly seems to have been the genesis of the unmarried woman as welfare slacker meme, it was fitting that right wing female "culture warriors" would be carrying the battle standard in the right wing media battalion otherwise known as Fox News!

On Saturday, November 10, Frank Luntz told America’s News HQ that Fox News viewers should be “outraged” at how they had been misled to believe Mitt Romney would win the election by “Republican establishment polls.” But while Luntz may not have run misleading polls, himself, he conducted a number of focus groups that suggested Romney would win.

Read moreBill O'Reilly Wants Blacks To Hate Planned Parenthood As Much As He Does!
Part of Bill O'Reilly's racial resentment is based in a lack of understanding of African-Americans which is shown in his belief that blacks voted for Obama strictly on the basis of race and because they want "free stuff. Bill just doesn't comprehend why blacks don't conform to his preconceived notions for them, such as when he was shocked that they have table manners. Recently, Bill used the words of a very controversial black minister to show his two black minister guests what they should be thinking, how they should vote, and why they should hate Planned Parenthood. Bill was taken aback when they disagreed with the views of the aforementioned pastor whose views were close to Bill's. Bill is clueless when it comes to black Americans. That he makes no attempt to get one, tells you all you need to know.
