Obama’s video seems to be a great success, so Fox MUST attack to distract from the success of Obama’s actions.
Putin’s Crimea invasion, of course, is about Russian power and nationalism. The idea that it is meant to ‘test Obama’ (who has been in office for 5 years now!) is a completely ridiculous and narcissistic analysis. Apparently O’Reilly thinks that everything that happens in the world has the USA at its epicenter.
If O’Reilly wants a strong president who will stand up to Putin, then he needs to support that president, but that will never happen. So it appears O’Reilly wants Putin to succeed.

This silly story does make me wonder about something more serious: how much of Putin’s behavior is influenced by the knowledge that no matter what action Obama may take against Putin’s invasion of Crimea, Obama will be vilified for it at home by Fox? And he will probably even be threatened with an investigation or impeachment for whatever he did/didn’t do during the Crimean crisis. But lets not talk about treason, because the psychology of Obama is so much more interesting :{

While I’m sure having Stewart as a guest on Bolling’s show would be ‘entertaining’, it would not be informative, which is what Stewart was criticizing-the lack of information being offered. I’m sure a visit by Stewart would be filled with shouting, snark and smirking, perhaps some mike cutting, plus some insightful humor from Stewart. but again, no real information would be offered up to the poor people who think they are being informed by Fox. I feel I have to explain this in case Bolling’s people read this. Fox’s Reality News is about TV personalities like Bolling, whereas news is about events, and public figures.

“This is America. We all have freedoms….” I’d like Bream to finish this train of thought, because it is incomprehensible to me what the next words would be -other than: " We all have freedoms to discriminate." or “We all have freedoms to NOT serve the community.” I think Bream fundamentally misunderstands this country and its history, and more broadly she does not understand how society and civilization must be organized beyond the desires of the individual in order to function. She appears to be educated, but completely lacking in perception (stupid).

The only thing the Girls Scouts are doing is being neutral or apolitical by including all types of women role models. However, this is not something that the right can comprehend, they feel that only their views are main stream and all other opinions are not allowed.

The people living in states like TN, where Medicaid was not expanded, are really getting screwed. But it’s the state governors who are doing their people wrong, not the Pres. Any health insurance plan that cost $52 per month for an adult was a piece of junk anyway.

Here’s a classic case of Bubble-Think. Its easy to create distractions on Fox to avoid talking about Christie’s scandal. But Christie is not going to get a pass on Bridgegate in other media, and it will be a constant negative topic if he runs for Pres. This short-sighted strategy would work great if Fox were the only media outlet in the world. I think sometimes they forget the rest of us 99% of non-Fox watchers are out here!

Birth control is a daily concern for women. Huckabee minimizes women’s concerns when he fails to comprehend this. His claims – that Dems think this is a woman’s only concern, or that Dems think that birth control is about SEX instead of PREGNANCY- are just weird and reflect only on him.

Agree d d: Fox wants to surgically target Obama as a liar over this when there are many more people who made the same statements. Leading Fox to list of all those who lied about Benghazi would be an excellent way to shut down at least part of their argument. Then they can continue on with the very silly semantic discussion of “Act of Terror” v “Terrorist Act.”
Adam Schiff was a great Dem spokesman to put on Fox. He easily and logically answered all questions very well, leaving Megan to look flustered, desperate and ultimately silly.

I hope this interview was seen by more Americans who maybe don’t watch Fox or even a lot of news or politics, but who nonetheless got to see the right wing in action— interrupting and asking about none of the real issues important to struggling Americans. Congrats to O’Reilly for standing up for ‘the folks’ whose lives are impacted by the IRS ‘scandal’, Benghazi and the Keystone Pipeline.

Government and feminists are attacking the sacred male pastimes of football watching and gun shooting – according to who or what? These claims are asinine. Fox is just ginning up the sexism and putting ‘male culture under attack’ in anticipation of Hilary’s presidential run. The truth is normal men can handle equality with women, while those who are weak are always ‘under attack’ from someone.

Christie could be impeached for this – if it is found that he knew about the revenge traffic stoppage. There is nothing comparable in Gates’ book. But Hannity’s listeners will never know this because he did not inform them of anything with this segment. Its amazing that people will tune in day after day to hear non-informational news-gossip.

One of Republicans most successful initiatives in the 90s was welfare reform. It was a huge success in getting long-term welfare recipients into the workforce. But today’s Republicans’ never mention it and their followers have largely forgotten about this accomplishment because if they claim welfare reform as a success, then they have less reason to attack the poor for being lazy and less ammunition in trying to take the food out of the mouths of poor children and poor elderly. What is the real reason the right hates food stamps? is it simple jealousy that some people get a benefit that they don’t, or is it simply a greedy desire to keep more of their taxes? Whichever it is we can safely ignore people who can’t articulate any valid proof that food stamps make people lazy.
