Fox Nation Posts Monkey Story - Readers Erupt With Racist Comments About Obama
Fox Nation has a post called Watch: Monkey-See, Monkey-Do. It's a feel-good video showing a child and a chimpanzee mimicking each other at a zoo. But to Fox Nation readers, it's an occasion for anti-Obama racism.

Read moreMultimillionaire Hannity Claims “I’m A Wal-Mart Guy”
Multimillionaire Sean Hannity put on his “regular guy” hat last night as he knocked President Obama’s “big fundraiser” with the “Learjet limousine liberals” - that latter said with a mock English accent, for extra “regular guy” points. For even more “regular guy” points Hannity made a point of calling himself “a Wal-Mart guy.” What Hannity forgot to mention? He’s got his own champagne tastes, takes part in plenty of pricey fundraisers for conservatives and when he’s not in “regular guy” mode loves to boast about his coziness with elites.
Read moreReality Star Bristol Palin Just Wants People To Stop Talking About Her Family (Yeah, Right)
Bristol Palin is shaping up to be every bit the attention whore her mother is. And just as dishonest. Last night, during an interview on Hannity, Palin whined that it is “definitely” hard for her to be talked about and in the public eye. This, not long after she told Fox & Friends that if she knew her upcoming reality TV show that was designed to be about her life as a single mother would be “so much” about her, she would have reconsidered. But that reticence did not prevent her from remaining open to running for political office some day.
Read moreThe Daily Show Scoops On The Record On Florida Voter Roll Purge
Greta Van Susteren was no lapdog during her interview with Florida Governor Rick Scott last night. She asked some hard-hitting, penetrating questions about his purging of voters from the Florida voter rolls. Interestingly, Scott could not provide a good explanation as to how he knew the people he had purged were not citizens if he didn’t have the roster of citizens he was suing the Department of Homeland Security to get. Even more interestingly, Van Susteren suddenly ran out of time before she was able to complete her tough questioning. But she never got to the points The Daily Show made perfectly clear: that the voter fraud Scott is fear mongering about is a non-existent problem and he's putting unreasonably onerous restrictions on registration.
Read moreHannity’s Quote-In-Depth-Unquote Look at Elizabeth Warren: The Same Old Smear All Over Again
“Who is Elizabeth Warren: An in-depth look” promised the Fox News web site. But Hannity’s segment last night on the Democratic candidate for the Massachusetts Senate certainly wasn’t “in-depth;” it concentrated entirely on one thing – whether or how she and Harvard exploited her claim to Cherokee ancestry.
Read moreRush Says Nuns Are Feminazis - Where Is Fox News' Outrage?!
Fox talkers have frequently expressed outrage over Nazi references made by those on the other side of the ideological aisle. Bill O'Reilly said that "it's bad." Fox talkers have also expressed outrage over Bill Maher's (Identified as "Pig Maher" on Fox Nation) snide remarks about conservative women and Christians. Yet, Fox's beloved Rush Limbaugh says that the American nuns, who are pushing back against a Vatican reprimand regarding their lack of enthusiasm for the bishop's crusade against gay marriage and abortion, "have gone feminazi on everybody." Really?
Read moreGreg Gutfeld's Newest Abortion Joke Isn't Very Funny
Greg Gutfeld's rise to fame seems to be his comedic stylings. But what kind of joker would make jokes about abortion except to, perhaps, promote the anti-choice meme that those who have abortions are worthy of shame and scorn - a meme that Gutfeld has expressed, on several occasions, on Fox. Gutfeld, a "pro-life" Catholic, once said that teenagers who have abortions are "morally inept." He also made the bizarre comment that women who support abortions are supporting the right to abort their grandchildren. Last week Gutfeld doubled down on his criticism of abortion with what he described as a "joke" but what was, in effect, just more bizarre, pointless, pro-life propaganda from the bizarre and pointless Gufeld.
Read moreCarlson Walks Off Fox & Friends Over Kilmeade's Sexist Joke
Apparently, Brian Kilmeade's little joke, "“Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control," didn't sit well with Gretchen Carlson. She got up, told Kilmeade he could read the headlines, and walked off the set.
