Herman Cain: Obama’s Popularity Due To 51% Being ‘Misled Enough To Vote For Him’
Fox may have gotten rid of Dick Morris but with the hire of Herman Cain, it looks like we’ll still have plenty of wacky punditry to laugh at for the foreseeable future. In fact, Cain's first appearance on The O’Reilly Factor tonight elicited the kind of O'Reilly response that I previously thought only attached to Morris: Oh, Come On. But that’s what Bill O’Reilly said when Cain argued that the reason President Obama is so popular is because “51% of the voters were misled enough to vote for him.”
Read moreGoldberg: The Liberal Media Mock Rubio Because They’re Scared of Him
Bernard Goldberg seemed a little more cocky than usual last night, during his weekly appearance on the Factor. Instead of whining overmuch about why the evil liberal media are more interested in Marco Rubio’s little drinking malfunction than they are in the Benghazi cover-up, he supplied Bill O’Reilly with some flattering theories: it's because they are compensating for Roger Ailes’s enormous influence, and because they’re scared of Rubio.
Read moreKrauthammer Likens Obama Golf ‘Controversy’ To Kardashian Weddings
Fox News has been hyperventilating over the fact that President Obama shut out the press from covering his golf game with Tiger Woods and some other dignitaries. So it was especially refreshing to see Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer not only shoot down the “controversy” as the biggest “non-story” since the Kardashian weddings but ridicule it, too, by saying, “I don’t think Obama’s out there with Tiger receiving marital advice.”
Read morePeter Johnson Jr. Praises Extremist Ken Cuccinelli In Discussion About Govt 'Threats' To Freedom
That Fox & Friends panders to the extremist base of the GOP was underscored yesterday when Roger Ailes' personal attorney, Cardinal Dolan's pal, Knight of Malta, and Fox "friend" Peter Johnson Jr. interviewed Virginia's current Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli about whether government poses a "threat" to personal freedom. Personal freedom? Really? While Cuccinelli hates Obamacare and federal regulations, he is also a militant anti-abortion activist who doesn't have a problem with government threatening the reproductive freedom of Virginia's women. Yet Johnson (who, according to Steve Colbert, has the dubious distinction of having three names that mean penis) thinks that Cuccinelli is awesome. Guess we know who Fox News will be supporting in the VA governor's race?!
Read moreFox Nation Tries to ‘Akinize’ a Democrat’s Remarks About the Dangers of Carrying Guns
Trust Fox Nation. This morning they're busy trying to create a Todd Akin-style scandal out of a Democratic congressman’s remarks about women’s safety on campus. The lead story is titled “Democrats Have a Full-Blown Akin on their Hands.” The first paragraph reads: "Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection?”
Read moreGlenn Beck: The Obama Administration Is Teaching Workers ‘How To Be Racist’
Glenn Beck visited The O’Reilly Factor tonight, ostensibly to discuss the tension between the Republican Party and the Tea Party. But about halfway through, Bill O’Reilly changed the subject to the story he “broke” last week about sensitivity training at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It wasn’t long before Beck was ranting that the Obama administration is deliberately training federal workers to hate white people.
Read moreTucker Carlson's Continued Attack On Wiccans & U of Missouri Diversity Guide
Despite his frequent whining about how Christians are just soooo mistreated, Tucker Carlson has no problems maligning those who follow a Wiccan belief system. One imagines that Carlson would have a problem if - say - somebody at MSNBC maligned his Anglican church (the more conservative version of Episcopalism) but that didn't stop Carlson from saying, during his misrepresentation, on Fox & Friends, of a religious diversity guide at the University of Missouri, that Wiccans "hate orthodox Christianity." Later, in the same Fox & Friends show, Carlson (and the "Friends" - Clayton Morris and Ann Kooiman) continued to denigrate and mock Wiccans and lie about the University of Missouri. Ah, don't ya love the smell of righteous Christian bigotry in the morning!
Read moreSaturday Night Live Spoofs Fox & Friends State of the Union Coverage
The Curvy Couch Crew got the SNL treatment again over the weekend with their discussion of President Obama’s State of the Union address. They “revealed,” until they figured out it was a hoax, that when you played Obama’s address backwards, he said, “I am a Black Panther. When this is over, I am going to smoke weed and do hip-hop songs.”
Read moreOn Fox & Friends: Tucker Carlson Attacks Wiccans As Christianity Haters!
The hypocrisy is truly astounding. Fox & Friends is the flagship Fox show that provides a national public venue for every perceived attack on American Christians. Yet, the show that specializes in "outrages" and "controversy" surrounding alleged insults to the church of the perpetually persecuted Christian has no problem mocking the religious beliefs of American non-Christians. Last week, famous "dick" Tucker Carlson, who is described in an Alternet article about the 24 "most loathsome" Americans as an American pundit "who believes that incredulous squinting qualifies as commentary," mocked Wiccans. And not only did he mock them; but he lied about and misrepresented a diversity (treasonous concept) guide at the University of Missouri. Good ole Fox & Friends - Jesus loves them, yes he does?
Read moreFox Wants Dr. Benjamin Carson To Run For President, No Save America
Memo to Republican presidential hopefuls: Forget Iowa (for now, anyway). Find a way to embarrass President Obama on national television, maybe at the National Prayer Breakfast, throw in some right-wing shibboleths like the “war on Christmas” and “death panels” and voila! Not only can you get all the face time on Fox News you could hope for, you might even get an hour-long special on Hannity called, “Saving America” complete with focus group and cheering Q&A segments designed to promote your candidacy. Political experience optional. Minority ethnicity probably helpful.
