On Fox & Friends: Former Vatican Ambassador Still Whining About Embassy Move
In November, the perpetually aggrieved Christian right, in yet another failed attempt to smear the president, had a collective hissy fit about how the US Embassy to the Vatican was being moved into the larger compound which houses the US Embassy to Italy. The move was done for financial and security reasons. No problem for the Vatican but for the perpetually aggrieved Christian right it was a big f**king deal. Thus, it was no surprise that Fox New would jump onboard the grievance bandwagon by interviewing one of the aggrieved Catholics who is a former Vatican ambassador. This morning, former Bush 43 Secretary of Veterans Affairs and - drum roll please - former GOP Chairman Jim Nicholson was back for more whining.
Read moreFox's Bolling Sticks Up For UPS And FedEx Over Their Botched Christmas Deliveries
On yesterday’s Your World, Eric Bolling debated Democratic strategist Steve Murphy about Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wanting UPS and FedEx to refund all customers for delayed packages. Bolling wondered why Blumenthal got involved. “Why in the world do we want more government intrusion into the free market? It seems to be working just fine.”
Read moreThe Republican/Fox News Benghazi Conspiracy Destroyed By New York Times Bombshell Report
If you want to read some real reporting and you have any interest in what really happened in the September 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. mission and C.I.A. compound in Benghazi, Libya, then you MUST read today's New York Times article published, it says, after months of on-the-ground investigation. The article does not exactly absolve the State Department but it pretty much demolishes the GOP/Fox News narrative.
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris Compares Phil Robertson To The Pope?
Along with Christians, Muslims, and Jews have their respective defense leagues, Phil Robertson now has his very own defense league in the form of Fox News which has been squarely on the side of Robertson because of Robertson's exemplary Christianity which, of course, is based on the "God hates fags" theology. Fox's famous double standard couldn't be more apparent. When Bill Maher offends Christians, Fox News, as the defender of the Christian faith, is all over him. But when the LGBT community criticized Robertson for his hate filled, "Christian comments," the Fox talk is about how gays are the really intolerant ones. In its attempt to canonize Robertson, Fox's Martha MacCallum actually compared him to the Pope. And last Sunday, Fox's one true priest Fr. Jonathan Morris ignored Robertson's bigotry and praised his Christian theology of sin which, according to Morris, is just like the Pope's!
Read moreBill O'Reilly's Boast About His 'War Record' Our Most Outrageous Quote Last Week
Bill O'Reilly's claim that his journalistic coverage of four wars put him on the same footing of bravery as military service was not just outrageous but was voted the Most Outrageous Quote of the Week by our readers this week. It was another slam dunk of outrageouness.
Read moreFox Already Blaming President Obama For Detention Of Military Personnel In Libya
As soon as Fox News reporter Ed Henry finished updating viewers on the news that four members of the U.S. military have been detained in Tripoli, Libya, the Kelly File brought out contributor John Bolton for Republican analysis. He got right down to making political hay of it. UPDATED
Read moreFox Promotes Privatizing The U.S. Postal Service
The entire panel of Forbes on Fox came out in favor of privatizing the U.S. Postal Service recently. The only dissent was that we’re not “ready quite yet.” Nobody pointed out – or seemed to care - that the Postal Service is extremely popular among Americans.
Read moreAlan Colmes Adds Too Much Pro-ObamaCare ‘Balance’ For The Kelly File
Although the Kelly File is touted as a non-opinion show that tells “both sides,” liberal Alan Colmes apparently told the President Obama side of ObamaCare a little too well last night. To protect the Fox News viewers’ ears, guest host Shannon Bream just had to jump in and help her conservative guest drive home some Republican talking points.
Read moreJuan Williams Helps Fox Racially Smear Jesse Jackson Over Duck Dynasty
Fox News has apparently forgotten its touching concern for freedom of expression now that Jesse Jackson has spoken out about Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty. Not only that, but Fox is using the opportunity to racially smear him. Even worse, African American Juan Williams helped the effort on last night’s O’Reilly Factor.
Read moreTodd Starnes Outraged By 'Prancing' And 'Gyrating' Drag Queens
As a fine son of the South who loves Jesus and anything deep fried, Todd Starnes' delicate sensibilities are quite offended by men who flaunt their deviancy by donning women's attire and struting their stuff, as did the fabulous cast of Kinky Boots during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. When Toddles found out about that, he had himself a case of the vapors. This week, he seemed nearly overcome with dainty disgust over what has what has to be one of the most delicious (and fabulous) municipal mistakes, the town of Semmes, Alabama ever made. For some strange reason, the town's annual holiday parade included a team of African-American dancing drag queens. Suffice to say, many of the Christian residents were, I do declare, chagrinned and appalled as was Todd Starnes who, during a "war on Christmas" segment, on Hannity, had more vapors!
