Cavuto Rips Obama’s Critics Over Selfie And Castro Handshake At Mandela Memorial
Neil Cavuto lit into the fake controversy over President Obama’s selfie with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and over his handshake with Raul Castro. Of course, Cavuto worked in a few shots at President Obama over ObamaCare. But still...

It’s time for our regular peek into the minds of Fox News viewers – or at least the ones who write to us and think they are writing to Fox News. I skipped last week because we did not have enough suitable entries. But the Fox watchers are back at their keyboards and clueless as ever.
Read moreEric Bolling Touts His Catholicism While Attacking 'Mean' Atheists Who Are 'Attacking' Christmas
Among many conservative Catholics in Roger Ailes' stable, Bill O'Reilly and Eric Bolling, neither of whom have a problem with hate mongering, race baiting, and other toxic spew, seem to be the most willing to publicly proclaim their devout Catholicism. O'Reilly and Bolling do seem joined at the hip. Both are products of a Catholic education and both share an intense loathing of atheists. When an atheist "denigrated the name of Jesus," during a show which Bolling hosted, Bolling stopped the interview. Bolling, no fan of Muslims, once opined that atheists have no place at a baseball park. So it was no surprise that, when he hosted Friday's Factor, Bolling would condemn, as did Bill, the "mean" atheist billboard in Time Square. Bolling also suggested that the atheists behind the sign are unpatriotic because America was founded on Jesus. And in case you doubt his Christian creds, Bolling, who has hurled racist insults against the President, reminded us once again, as O'Reilly frequently does, of his religiosity. Not so great minds run in the same narrow channel?
Read moreFather Of Festivus Discusses Fox News Freakout
Dan O’Keefe is the former Seinfeld writer whose family’s Festivus tradition was immortalized in one of the show’s episodes. O’Keefe says he didn’t know about the Fox News freakouts over Festivus displays that have become the symbol of secular pushback against religious ones. But now that he does, he’s got a few things to say.
Read moreBill O'Reilly Says Atheist Sign Is "Mean" - Oh, The Irony!
Bill O'Reilly is a devout Catholic who, as a soldier of Christ, never wastes an opportunity to disparage atheists who publicly advocate for their positions. He loves to insult Richard Dawkins because Bill, like the inquisitors of old, believes that anybody who doesn't believe as he does is a filthy heretic. And because he believes in a Jesus-centric Christmas, he wages an annual crusade (jihad?) to protect Christmas from those evil atheists who hate the baby Jesus. But being so devout and all, you'd think that he would be confident in his faith. Yet the Holy Ghost inspired Bill is very disturbed by "fascist" atheists who are trying to ruin his Christmas which, this year, is embodied in a atheist sponsored Times Square sign which says that you don't need Jesus to enjoy Christmas. For Bill, who waged a TV crusade (jihad?) against an abortion doctor which contributed to a climate of hate in which the doctor was murdered, this NY City sign is "mean." Awww...
Read moreTea Party Member: I Wear Boehner’s Scorn As A Badge Of Honor
Judging from The O’Reilly Factor discussion-turned-shoutfest last night between a Republican establishment member and a Tea Party member, the GOP civil war will not be ending any time soon.
Read moreMegyn 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.
Read moreMegyn Kelly Defended By White Supremacists!
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?
Read moreWhen Megyn Kelly Told Leno, ‘I Care About Protecting My Audience,’ Did She Mean Protecting Them From A Black Santa Or Black Jesus?
Earlier this week, Megyn Kelly appeared on The Tonight Show where she told a credulous Jay Leno that she’s a “straight news anchor” who gives “a hard time to both sides.” She later said, “I don’t care about pandering to the left or the right. I care about protecting my audience.”
Read moreFox & Friends’ Tasteless Mocking Of Fake Sign Language At Mandela Memorial
Yesterday, Fox & Friends' Brian Kilmeade taunted and mocked the sham sign-language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service. Ironically, FoxNews.com reported that NBC’s Today show offended the hearing-impaired community when one of its producers did something similar.
