Rubio did something awkward on national TV and today’s media loves to air that kind of stuff. If Fox was above this kind of tabloidy nonsense, I would allow them the complaint—but Fox loves the tabloidy stories, if they can make one of their political foes seem foolish—they happily do so. So Fox, if you believe the media should be above this kind of thing, then SHOW it-and not just once—all the time.

“we’re going to have four years of economic suffering and that will cause people to “wake up”
Cain is talking about the sequester, and hints that Republicans will use it to create this scenario in which Americans will “wake up” and blame Obama for this disaster. This is a dangerous fantasy based on warped thinking. Cain is confused as to which group represents stupid America. Hint: it’s the ones who destroy the economy to prove a political point.

Pundit interviews pundit. What a silly interview - Glenn Beck’s opinions. Was it a slow rightwing news day? Its clear Beck is very confused about racism, but he knows if he can accuse the government of racism its a win for him-no matter how oxymoronic the accusation.

The girl has been living with her boyfriend and his parents for 7 months, but feels her parents are pressuring her to have an abortion. Most people would just stop talking to them at this point, and just live their own life. A lawsuit seems overblown. Did I miss something?

It must have killed a fox to even acknowledge that Obama held a prayer breakfast. But there’s nothing unique about this man’s message. The same far right ideas are expressed daily on radio, TV, blogs and commentary. It is quite ordinary. The only unique aspect of this right wing “hero of the moment” is that this message was delivered purely as an insult to the president and in a very inappropriate way. It was also an insult to all the people gathered together to honor prayer, who instead had to listen to an uncouth moron display his bad manners and false faith. “Fox Celebrates Insult to President and Prayer,” ought to be the lede on this story.

Ah another case of “I agree with Obama, but I am against the reasoning that (I decided) he is using for this decision.”
I really disagree with the drone policy. It is difficult because Al Qaeda is such a horribly destructive and oppressive group that really needs to be destroyed.
Drones in the US? they’d only have to kill one innocent and that would be the end of that program on our soil. But Drones in other countries apparently kill innocents all the time, and there is no one to stop them. This kind of activity probably does more damage to our country in the form of additional enemies and retaliatory attacks than it prevents.

The looming battle between the RW media and RW political machine for the soul of the party will be an interesting watch. Will Fox be tempted to cover the controversy in order to gain a ratings boost, rather than smoothing over or ignoring their divisions in the name of party unity—I think they’ll go for the ratings, and probably hasten the coming splitting of the party.

Wallace doesn’t seem to give proper respect to the free market which LOVES violent movies. But of course gun lovers don’t really want violent movies to disappear—they just know that it is a great tactic to use when the country starts reaching a consensus about assault weapons and high capacity rounds.

I don’t think Erickson would have this same reaction if the cookie thrower was a grown man. Ya know. Then he might actually stop and wonder what the woman might have said or done just prior to the cookie throwing. I’m guessing she was not saying nice things.
It’s one thing to overreact in the heat of the moment, quite another to applaud such abusive, outrageous and excessive behavior. Ericsson must be even more disturbed than this crazy woman. I hope one day they both get some serious long-term anger management counseling.

Re: the informative comment posted on FoxNation is very helpful—thanks Margarita. The Texas School Board and Todd Starnes, unfortunately are dumber than a fifth grader. This isn’t so much about outrageous cirriculum, but any cirriculum that teaches children to think and make their own judgements rather than being fed the opinions of the Texas School Board and that’s anti-education and anti-American.

This reminds me of a book I read recently—The Psychopath Test. It explains, in an interesting way, why it is impossible to predict what someone will do simply from a diagnosis of a particular mental illness. I really think the right wingers are on thin ice with this topic. They are dangerously close to naming the problem from which their angriest compatriots suffer.

I’d like to hear them explain how any privatized Medicare replacement could manage NOT to be a ‘ponzi scheme.’ The only way is if people could only receive back exactly what they had put into any insurance plan, and that’s just called a savings account. They talk about Ponzi schemes like they have no clue how insurance works.

I wonder if anyone at Fox realizes that comments like Landrieu’s are not demonstrating fear of an enemy but mockery of a misinformation source and an attempt to educate. And since the disaster of Romney not winning the election as predicted by Fox, even more people understand the mockery, Fox viewers included.

It sounds like Media Matters plans to treat Fox like Fox treats its political adversaries, by investigating employees, promoting an agenda, and demanding accountability. This is what political organizations do of course. This is the exact behavior Fox engages in. Fox gets very testy when others stop pretending that they are a fair and balanced news channel. I would not want to see Fox destroyed, but instead I look forward to the day that anyone quoting Fox as a news source will simply be laughed at.

As visitor 55 pointed out, the real problem for the right wing is not that there might be another war, that’s just gravy. The problem is that they would have to justify this war to a drafted army of young men and women. Something (that Vietnam taught) doesn’t work very well for long, drawn out wars with no clear objective. Drafted soldiers tend to revolt and eventually stop fighting the kind of corporate-driven wars the right wing loves. Tony Perkins’ scenario of men refusing to serve in the army because one more barrier has been breached by women, is almost as fantastical a tale as any found in the Bible. Tony should write these stories down in a more fictional format and maybe make a lot of money in the sci-fi genre.
