Fox’s Charles Payne: A Lot Of Poor People Are Lazy And Getting Lazier
Sean Hannity and his like-minded guest Charles Payne want to cut our social safety nets – and they want you to think they’re doing it out of the goodness of their Christian hearts. But, near the end of a discussion on the subject tonight, Payne revealed what he really thinks of the poor. And Hannity did not disagree.

Fox News' regular pollster and message guru Frank Luntz is very depressed about the state of politics in America - a situation he helped to create. He's upset with both Republicans and Democrats. And that's why he'll probably not be talking about it on Fox News any time soon.
Read moreLaura Ingraham Defends Phil Robertson's Homophobia, Attacks GLAAD
Whenever Bill Maher, or any other evil secularist, says anything deemed offensive by Catholics, the Catholic League's Bill Donohue immediately goes into outrage overdrive. But in the bizarro world of the right wing, when an LGBT advocacy group reacted to the homophobic comments of the Duck Dynasty "patriarch," GLAAD was accused of being a bully - a meme aided and abetted on Fox News. Last week, Laura Ingraham, filling in for Bill O'Reilly, doubled down on the GLAAD as bully meme in accusing them of "attacking" (real) America's favorite network homophobe. Oh, and she also did some whitewashing of Robertson's racially ignorant comments about those happy, singing black people.
Read moreSteve Doocy Still Pimping Catholic Bishop's Opposition To Birth Control Mandate
Fox & Friends has been steadfast in pimping the US Conference of Catholic Bishop's opposition to the HHS mandate which requires employer health plans to provide free birth control. And despite the administration's efforts to form a compromise with religious non-profits (churches are exempt), by having the insurer cover the cost, the world's oldest men's club Catholic bishops have been steadfast in their opposition to the mandate - despite the reality that they employ women who are not bound by Catholic theology on those evil slut pills that are taken by a vast majority of Catholic women. In none of the many segments, which I covered, were there any guests who defended the mandate. Fox hosts, the majority Catholic, made no attempt to rebut the Catholic position which was advanced by several right wing Catholic priests and a Catholic bishop. Yesterday, Steve Doocy interviewed the new head bishop honcho about the mandate. Good Catholic Doocy kept on pimping!
Read moreCoulter Accuses Harris-Perry Of Inventing Racism: "There Is More Cholera" In The U.S. Than Racism
Believe it or not, Fox is still attacking MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry for joking about Mitt Romney’s African American grandson. So who did Sean Hannity present as an arbiter of taste and sensitivity on the subject? None other than hatemonger, murder fantasizer and serial voter fraud suspect, Ann Coulter. She showed her sensitivity alright – by saying that black people don’t live in New York apartments, because of “all the rich people.” And announcing that liberals have to invent racism because “There is more cholera in America than there is racism.” And more.
Read moreTucker Carlson Claims Nuns On Pres. Obama's Enemies List
While the "fair & balanced" Fox News gave scant, if any, attention to the social justice message of the "nuns on the bus," the Little Sisters of the Poor have become a cause célèbre because of their lawsuit over having to sign an opt-out form to trigger their exemption from the HHS birth control mandate. This, of course, dovetails nicely with the patented Fox meme of persecuted Christians at the hands of anti-Christian forces led by our anti-Christian president. Last week, Megyn Kelly, in an emotional interview with a lawyer representing the nuns, made no secret of her support for the poor Sisters of the Poor. In keeping with the Fox script, she suggested that the president is, for no reason, persecuting these nuns. This morning, famous "dick" and proud gay basher Tucker Carlson, reinforced the narrative.
Read moreChris Wallace Repeatedly Prods Mitt Romney To Attack MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry
Chris Wallace joined the pile-on against MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry yesterday in his interview with Mitt Romney. In fact, Wallace put the matter right up there with ObamaCare and the winter Olympics in his introduction to Romney. Unfortunately for Fox News, Romney refused to take the (race) bait.
Read moreMike Huckabee Compares Oakland Hospital To Nazi Concentration Camps
As they did with Terri Schiavo, the "pro-life" movement is making the case of Jahi McMath, a teenager who is now brain dead after a tonsillectomy, a cause célèbre. As they did with Terri Schiavo, in disputing the diagnoses of and actions take by medical experts, they are suggesting that those entrusted with the patient's medical care are murderers. On his Saturday night show, Fox's Mike Huckabee not only advanced this narrative but doubled down by comparing the removal of McMath's life support system to abortions - and, the Holocaust. Yeah, he went there.
