Fox and Friends Continues Its Years Old Smear* That POTUS Is Secret Muslim
Didja know that President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim? No? Then you haven’t been watching Fox “News” for the past several years. It’s the so-called “Fair & Balanced” channel’s favorite phony meme, pushed whenever they can find the barest opening in an attempt to convince its gullible audience that Obama prays 5 times a day to Allah.* News Hounds is filled with examples of Fox trying to connect the president to Islam. However, the grand prize will always go to Fox and Friends, which insisted way back in January of 2007 that then-candidate Senator Obama attended a madrassas as a child. While they were forced to retract a few days later, that hasn’t stopped the network, or the Three Stooges on the Curvy Couch, from making the Obama/Muslim connection over and over and over again. That’s why it was ALMOST amusing that they did it again this morning, and again with an easily disprovable lie. Watch:

The Whole World Reacts To Glenn Beck’s Firing
A combination of sadness and schadenfreude greeted the news that Glenn Beck will no longer be broadcasting out of the Fox “News” building. Predictably, since the Beckinator covers covered such a large media landscape in his scant 27 months at the help of his eponymously named Comedy Caliphate Cavalcade, once again Glenn Beck was the biggest news on the planet the subject of media attention, and, once again, not for something good.

Sean Hannity & Mike Huckabee Join Homophobic Hate Fest
For today’s Christian right, ain’t no party like a gay bashing party. And ain’t no gay bashing party like the Values Voters Summit, which will take place this week in Washington DC. Two of the party goers will be Fox “News” personalities Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee who will be addressing the crowd and otherwise palling around with important mullahs in the “American Taliban” (whoops, Christian right) who will be furiously beating their - uh - Korans (whoops Bibles) about the creeping “gay agenda.” Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council (which is sponsoring the event) says that allowing gays to openly serve in the military will be a problem because soldiers will be less willing to “spoon” in threatening situations. (Honest!) Persecuted Christian defender, Mat Staver, was part of a Liberty University forum on the national “threat” posed by the “gay agenda.” (Honest!) And right wing dominatrix and grande dame, Phyllis Schlafley thinks that the “radical” gay agenda is a threat to religious liberty.(Honest!) How bout good Christian jihadist (whoops crusader) Janet Parshall who suggested that Matthew Shepherd’s lifestyle was responsible for his murder and that gay adoption is “state sanctioned child abuse.” (Honest!) Bryan Fisher actually blasted Glenn Beck for defending people “who want to use the anus for sex.” (Honest!) If there were an award for homophobic best in show, Fisher might be the winner as he actually said (Honest!) that Hitler was gay and surrounded himself with gay soldiers because gays are just so savage. And I’ve just highlighted some gay bashing speakers. Discussion moderators include happy homophobes like the FRC’s Peter Sprigg who thinks that homosexuality should be outlawed. (Honest!) So Huckabee, who thinks that gays are like drug users and Hannity, who freaked out about gay men kissing at the Oscars, should be in good company in that red, white, and blue (no rainbow décor there) Values Voters Summit where the top value is homophobia!

Did Sean Hannity's Bullyboy Style Get Him Dropped From Mormon-Owned Radio Station?
Sean Hannity's brand of "Great American" punditry seems not to be going down so well with Utah's KSL Radio which has just dropped his show from their lineup. Think Progress reports, "Although the company was tight-lipped about why it chose to end its relationship with Hannity, Utah’s ABC-4 speculates that Hannity’s uncivil behavior on air was behind the move."

Sean “. . . I Don’t Think the Republican Party Can Lose” Hannity and Michael “This Is A Very Different Republican Party" Steele
Talk about blowing sunshine up someone’s ass . . . On Thursday (12/3/09), Sean Hannity and GOP Chairman Michael Steele blew a whole lot of sunshine, lied a whole lot, recreated a whole lot of history, and convinced each other that this was the new age of the Republican Party -- based in part on the two “victories” in Virginia and New Jersey (ah, ah, boys -- let’s not forget arch-conservative Doug Hoffman’s loss in New York). Steele apparently didn’t listen when GOP leaders took him to task in October, told him bluntly not to meddle in policy, and made it clear he was on a short leash. As Crooks and Liars noted in October, Steele was the token black Republican who was supposed to counter President Obama, but, “You get what you pay for, and the GOP is definitely suffering from buyers remorse.” I know one thing: There wasn’t room for one more person in that room due to the two massive egos taking up a mammoth amount of space. With video.
