Sean Hannity Uses Pro-Choice Ad To Attack Pres. Obama & Pimp Pro-Life Lies
Fox News is the media mouthpiece for those who not only want to eliminate a woman's right to an abortion, but are also very upset that health care policies now cover contraception, which they equate with abortion, at no cost. The newest "outrage" in the pro-life community is an ad that, without the aid of Fox News, would be just another video among many done by the Center for Reproductive Rights. On Wednesday, "The Five" provided an echo chamber for pro-life indignation. Later in the evening, Sean Hannity used the ad as a means to attack the president about votes he took in the Illinois legislature (big, big, big in pro-life land) and whine about how he's forced to pay for women's birth control. Poor Hannity!

Guest Austan Goolsbee pretty much demolished Sean Hannity's plans to spend yet another segment obsessing about his high taxes by way of pretending to care about Phil Mickelson. First, Goolsbee swatted away Hannity's claim that Mickelson pays more than 60% by noting that his accountants have said otherwise. Then, Goolsbee smacked down Hannity's contention that he pays 60% by pointing out that Hannity pays 60% “on the millionth dollar, not the first 300, 400,000.” That first $300-400,000 was obviously chump change to to the multimillionaire, self-styled “Great American.” Then Goolsbee brought up the dinner bet.
Read moreAre Fox News’ Outrage Tactics Turning Conservatives Off?
We Newshounds have created countless blog posts about the furious and exaggerated outrage statements made by the folks at Fox News. Take, as just one example of about fifty million, Michelle Malkin going purple over President Obama’s use of children as "human shields" in his gun control press conference. Now at least one conservative columnist is fed up with the vitriol from the right.
Read moreFox News' Newest Bogus War
Now that Christmas is over, the "fair & balanced" Fox News website lede headline (from early this afternoon) says the Democrats have declared a war on guns - not even a Cavuto question mark but a statement of Fox fact. The linked article, however, says "Democrats Introduce Expanded Assault Weapons Ban." But for those who don't read articles, the headline says all ya need to know!

Poor Little Rich Boys Hannity And Carlson Whine About Their Tax Bills
“Great American” Sean Hannity is just beside himself that a great patriot like he is should be called upon to pay any more in taxes just because he earns more than almost everyone else in the country. But rather than just own up to that inconvenient and less-than-flattering truth, Hannity hosted a debate between Juan Williams and Tucker Carlson about Fox's latest hero, golfer Phil Mickelson, who has threatened “drastic changes” in the face of a higher tax bill. Carlson suggested we should ignore President Obama's mandate to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans for our own good.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Continues To Defame Dr. Tiller "The Baby Killer" While Pitching Pro-Life Propaganda
How much does Bill O'Reilly hate abortion? So much so that he used his show as a vehicle to verbally assassinate an abortion provider who was operating within the confines of the law. For his ongoing efforts in helping to create a climate of hatred in which Dr. George Tiller, whom O'Reilly dubbed a "killer," was assassinated, O'Reilly received a "Courage Award" from the Family Research Council hate group. O'Reilly never apologized to Tiller's family for his defamation of the doctor who, as seen on Tuesday night's Factor, is still the target of O'Reilly hate speech and great big whopping lies. In adddition to attacking Tiller, during a discussion in which Bill O'Reilly lobbied against NY legislation to protect women's reproductive rights, O'Reilly put NY Governor Cuomo in his metaphorical cross hairs. How much does Bill O'Reilly hate women? Read on!
Read moreMcCain Smacks Down Fox News Fear Mongering Over Planes To Egypt
Last night, Sean Hannity hosted Rudy Giuliani to suggest that the Obama administration is somehow arming the Muslim Brotherhood enemy by allowing American-made fighter jets to go to Egypt as part of "a foreign-aid package.” But this morning, on Fox & Friends, John McCain, perhaps inadvertently, smacked down the fear mongering.
Read moreHannity's Hillary Derangement Syndrome
Now that Hillary Clinton has finally testified about Benghazi – after being accused on Fox of faking her concussion that delayed her Congressional appearance – Sean Hannity is accusing her of faking her emotions. Although many of the Republican Senators and Congressmen grandstanded while questioning Clinton today, Hannity singled out Clinton for supposedly staging the outrage she showed in response – supposedly orchestrated by James Carville. With a suggestion that that's what she had done in her sick time.
Read moreTexas A-G Is Still Urging New York Gun Lovers to Come On Down, Despite Shooting at Houston College
What a difference a few days make. Last week, Texas Attorney-General Greg Abbott was putting out Internet ads inviting New Yorkers who were frustrated by that state’s new gun control laws to come down to Texas, where they will have “the liberty and the opportunity to achieve your dreams.” On Tuesday three students were wounded in a shooting at a Houston-area college. “This story has gotten somewhat complicated in the last few hours,” was how Greta Van Susteren put it, when she began her interview with Abbott on last night’s On the Record. Which didn’t keep Abbott from deploying gun-lobby talking points and painting the Lone Star State as a libertarian paradise.
Read moreNo, Neil Cavuto, The Rich Do Not Flee States With High Taxes
On yesterday’s Your World, Neil Cavuto ignored a study showing that the wealthy do not flee states with high taxes as he hyped the news that former French President Sarkozy is considering leaving France to avoid a 75% tax rate, and golfer Phil Mickelson is considering “drastic changes” due to higher taxes. Cavuto coyly outsourced the argument to his guest, Dave Maney, saying, “Dave Maney says Democratic leaders here in the United States better take note, if they have the money, they will run.”
