Carolla And O’Reilly Suggest It Would Be No Biggie To Get Rid Of Food Stamps
Adam “Don’t Call Me A Racist Just Because I Talk Like One” Carolla visited the O’Reilly Factor for another dose of his “humor” that just happens to malign people less fortunate than he and – oh, yeah – happen to be minorities. Monday night’s target: food stamp recipients. Because Carolla grew up with a mother on public assistance that seems to be all the credentials needed for him to rail against them. With Bill O'Reilly's approval.

It’s so horrible what goes on in our schools nowadays, gentle reader. Liberal activists teaching our children to stomp on the name of Jesus and blame the US for terrorism – can you believe it? Never fear: Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck are fighting bravely to save kids from all that left-wing indoctrination. Last night, ex-Fox anchor Beck appeared on Bill O’Reilly's show to vent and kvetch, and to brag about how Fox News was putting the issue in the public eye. They discussed two examples in particular:
Read moreBill O'Reilly: Obama Youth Vote Due To Campus "Political Corruption"
It's ironic that Bill O'Reilly has an advanced degree in journalism when his nightly spew is the antithesis of real journalism. If any professor of journalism needs an example of propaganda disguised as journalism, he or she should use "The Factor," in particular Bill's "Talking Points" as an example of how to get the most bang for your buck when you're engaging in vicious personal attacks framed in short sound bites. Monday night's "Talking Points" was very instructive as they provided Bill with the opportunity to bash one of his favorite targets, librul higher education, while issuing a new fatwa that, like his last fatwa (the editor of the Denver Post) is an African-American man. Not only does Bill report, he divides!
Read moreBill O'Reilly To Speak At "Bible Thumping" University?
Bill O'Reilly's spiritual journey seems to have taken an interesting evolution (pun intended). In the space of a few years, he has gone from being a self-proclaimed creationist who claimed that Jesus guided evolution and that the tides are not based on gravitational pull to the more modern position of the bible as "allegory" - a position about which he lectured a fundamentalist pastor. He compared those who disagree with his view to jihadists. And last night, in kinda, sorta defending proponents of gay marriage, he said that "other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the bible." So there is rich irony in the fact that O'Reilly will be speaking, in September, at Faulkner University, a university founded as a bible school and which has a "biblically based core curriculum." Go figure!
Read moreMegyn Kelly Lectures Black Americans About Personal Responsibility
Megyn Kelly didn’t just slobber over African American Dr. Ben Carson’s admonitions about playing the victim card yesterday, she actually read one of his favorite poems called, “Yourself to Blame” to drive the point home. And then, after he left, she brought up one of her own favorite sayings: “winners take responsibility, losers blame others.” She didn't single out any particular group but there was no doubt from the rest of the discussion that she was directing her lecture to African Americans – even though it was almost certain none were watching.
Read moreFox’s Solution For Lack Of Retirement Savings: Scrap Social Security!
Last weekend, Forbes on Fox focused on the record number of workers who don’t have enough money to retire. According to host David Asman, this proves “why we need to ditch Social Security” for younger people.
Read moreFox Ignores Its Own Reporting To Promote Bullet Conspiracy Theory
Fox News is so eager to promote anti-Obama/pro-gun conspiracy theories that it overlooked its own reporting in the process yesterday. Think Progress caught Megyn Kelly yesterday just "asking" her Republican guest, "Is the government buying up bullets to use against us?" Even though Fox itself had already debunked that likelihood. (H/T Eric J.)
Read moreMike Huckabee & Abby Johnson Attack Planned Parenthood - Again!
That the allegedly "fair & balanced" Fox News network is a conduit for the lies and propaganda of the extremist anti-abortion "American Taliban" is underscored by the presence of Mike Huckabee whose program features anti-abortion extremists such as Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood worker who was "converted" to the anti-abortion movement. Saturday, Ms. Johnson, whose newest pet project is to encourage Planned Parenthood workers to leave their jobs, returned to the Huckabee show which devoted two segments to more anti-choice agitprop and Planned Parenthood bashing. It also featured another former clinic worker's baseless claims about alleged criminal actions at her former place of employment. If there's any question as to whether the war on women is real, Mike Huckabee's show answers it strongly in the affirmative.
Read moreGreg Gutfeld Loses It Over Jim Carrey Anti-Gun Video
Greg Gutfeld must have been jealous of all the attention Bob Beckel got when he told CBS to take its Amazing Race show "and shove it" a few days ago. Either that or there's something in the water (or the Fox brass' instructions) at The Five that has them looking for reasons to become unhinged. Yesterday's excuse was Jim Carrey's Funny or Die video spoofing Charlton Heston and the NRA. Whatever the reason, Gutfeld accused Carrey of killing more people than "all the rifles combined." Really. And, of course, the whole thing got re-played over and over on Fox.
Read moreHannity Guest: MSNBC Is A Network Of 'Lunatics' And 'Racial Fanatics'
Another day, another racial whine from Fox’s master baiter of race, Sean Hannity. Tonight’s excuse, Touré’s comments about Dr. Benjamin Carson being conservatives’ guilt-assuaging “black friend.” Rather than address the substance of Toure’s remarks – that GOP policies matter more to African Americans than the color of their pals – Hannity trotted out two of his favorite African-American black attackers to throw racial flames at Touré, MSNBC and the left.
