Megyn Kelly Plays The Racial Victim Over Her ‘White Santa’ And ‘White Jesus’ Comments
Megyn Kelly addressed the firestorm that erupted after she assured her viewers that both Santa and Jesus were white. But other than listening with grace and dignity to an African American guest explain what was offensive, I don’t think Kelly did herself any favors with her defense tonight.

In addition to being the place where Islam is smeared "with impunity," Fox News also has a history of race baiting. While the after the 2012 election, the GOP talked about reaching out to minorities, Fox News talkers validated the right wing narrative of white makers vs. lazy, minority takers. But recently, on Fox, there has been a more insidious level of race baiting which was articulated in Megyn Kelly's infamous statement, as Fox Fact, that Jesus (as well as Santa) is white - a view which suggests that Fox is playing to the darkest and ugliest reaches of the radical white right. But what makes this even more unsavory is that Kelly is being defended by white supremacists. Forget the religious right - is Fox News the "Aryan" nation newsroom?

In a discussion with Price on December 9th, Cavuto said the plan “already has been scored to save taxpayers some two trillion dollars over the next 10 years, but you didn’t hear anything about it though.

If Bill O'Reilly is the commander-in-chief of the War on Christmas, Gretchen Carlson is the head of the women's auxiliary. (She admits that her Christmas zeal is what got her a "culture warrior" spot on Bill's show) For Gretch, Christmas is for Jesus only! Who cares about court cases that require Nativity scenes on public land to be balanced by other displays cuz of that pesky "wall of separation" thingie that right wing Christians, like Gretch, so despise. And what really frosts Gretch's Christmas cookies is the presence of the "Festivus Pole," a comic device from a Seinfeld episode, near the Baby Jesus. One such pole, in the Washington State House, prompted Gretch to utter her most famous quote: "I'm all for free speech and free rights, just not on December 25th." Flash forward to 2013 and Gretch is still mighty pissed about Festivus poles.
