As I posted yesterday, the Fox News Nation has been “inspired” by the news that there’s a new video out, called Dishonorable Disclosures, from a group of supposedly non-partisan military and intelligence operatives accusing President Obama of taking too much credit for the killing of Osama Bin Laden and also of endangering national security with intelligence leaks. Of course, it’s just a coincidence that the video is being released now, during the height of the 2012 presidential campaign and that the group behind it shares an office space with a Republican consulting firm. But another funny coincidence is that there are some Fox News talking heads involved.  So these guys are not only in bed with the right-wing but are or have been paid to speak for them, too.

Fox News' psychiatrist and "Medical A-Team" member Dr. Keith Ablow didn't let a little thing like not having examined Vice President Joe Biden get in the way of arriving at an analysis of his mindset. That "gaffe" about chains Fox News is so fascinated with, wasn't a gaffe at all but a "moment of truth" that reveals Biden's "contempt" for "financial success." Oh, and while he was at it, Ablow came up with a few conclusions about President Obama's, too. Ablow's conclusions were more than a little racially tinged, too. (H/T Headly Westerfield)

As part of its trademark persecuted Christian meme, Fox & Friends never wastes an opportunity to cast atheists as a bunch of godless evil doers who are out to make life difficult for Jesus' BFF's. This morning, Jesus BFF Steve Doocy interviewed a Christian water park owner who has received a letter of complaint, by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, for his special discount which includes seniors, military, and church groups but not inner city kids. In typical Fox fashion, this gentleman was allowed to present his view while Steve Doocy smiled and nodded, especially when the park owner made a statement which, coincidentally (?), underscored an ongoing Fox & Friends narrative; i.e. that one person or group can spoil things for good Christians: "As Christians we've given up way too much for way too few." As the "Church Lady would say, "Isn't that special."

Add Donald Trump to the list of Fox talking heads who are bemoaning the nastiness of the Obama campaign, now that the Democrats are starting to use traditional Republican tactics against them. Talking on the phone to Greta Van Susteren last night, he called the Obama campaign "vicious" and urged the GOP to “fight fire with fire”.

In the Orwellian, bizarro world of the Christian right, homophobic "family values" groups are considered to be exemplars of all that is good and noble while those who criticize these values are considered to be "haters." This type of doublethink has been on display since the unfortunate shooting incident at the headquarters of the Family Research Council. Because the Huffington Post accurately described the FRC as a Southern Poverty Law Center identified hate group, the right wing are outraged. And whenever the right wing is outraged, you can count on Michelle Malkin to bring her reasoned discourse to the discussion. (Just kidding)  Malkin, whose Christian family values seem to include distaste for minorities and Muslims, got some recent notoriety when she posted a photo of Trayvon Martin which made him look like a street thug. This morning she brought her patented snark and snarl to Fox & Friends where she pontificated about anti-FRC haters. Oh, the irony.

Paging Greta Van Susteren! Given your concern about denigration of women, I’m sure you’ll want to know the kind of joke that your colleagues, Dennis Miller and Bill O’Reilly, think is funny: fantasizing about throwing Nancy Pelosi off a cliff.

It's Swift Boat time on Fox News again - this time, instead of a book and a video of veterans accusing a Democrat of lying about his military service, we'll have a Fox News media campaign "that scolds President Barack Obama for taking credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden and argues that high-level leaks are endangering American lives," as the lede paragraph of the post on Fox Nation puts it. This is also currently the top story on Fox Nation and it's rated "inspiring" by its readers.

Eighty-four days to the election – Sean Hannity is counting. And last night, with a little help from Karl Rove, he did his best to help Paul Ryan breathe life into Romney’s uninspiring campaign. 

In case all the fawning over Paul Ryan's designation as Republican vice presidential candidate were not enough, Megyn Kelly did her best to turn him into the second coming of Ronald Reagan yesterday. She spliced together footage of Ryan and Reagan in a video and suggested that viewers would see the similarities in "conservative ideas, his optimism, even (their) language."

We still don't have a lot of details about the shooter at the Family Research Council headquarters today but Fox News is gearing up to use it against liberals. On the FoxNews.com homepage, the editors thought it important to include this in its thumbnail: URGENT: Gunman reportedly spoke of group's conservative policies before shooting guard at DC headquarters.
