Its funny that it took Baier a while to realize he was losing in this interview and to give up his silly topic. A smarter man would have given up earlier.
“God is not a franchise of the Republican party”—that was well said. And I am glad that it is true. God is little more than a tribal buzz-word to the Republicans, with real no meaning attached. Faith, love, charity? I don’t think they truly embrace any of these-least of all a faith that their deeds on Earth will follow them to the afterlife. Republicans are some of the most materialistic folks on the planet.

My thanks to Fluke for keeping it classy. When O’Reilly and other crude pundits fling their offensive insults around it is important to show a distinction between the real world of serious criticism and the immature world of personal insults that the right can’t get enough of. The country will grow weary of their trash talk/trash tv in the near future and will need to see there are grownups around to deal with real problems.

It’s very politically-correct of the Fox Heads to refuse to discuss Romney’s religion. Glad to know that politically correct is now a good thing. Its hard to keep up with the party of flip-flopping excuses.
Apparently Huckabee isn’t as obsessed with promoting correct Christian beliefs as he’s led us to belief. After hearing his insulting joke about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz during his RNC speech, I do wonder what kind of minister of Jesus is this guy?

In barbarian mentality, an apology or admission of wrongdoing displays weakness. It is always preferable to lie endlessly about ones errors, or better yet project ones errors, weakness and character defects.

O’Reilly puts up with smart women—but only the ones who hide their intelligence behind blonde hair, short skirts and giggles. I’m sure he’s obsessed (fearful) of any smart woman who he can’t see as a sex object.

Of all the Obama conspiracy theories to make a movie out of I can’t understand why this one was picked. I think birtherism would have been a bigger draw than this bizarre anti-colonialism idea of D’Souza’s. It makes me wonder about D’Souza’s father issues. And it makes me wonder why the right seems to think colonialism was/is a good thing— In fact if Obama is anti-colonialist he has a whole lot in common with the founding fathers of the USA.

This is where the lack of diversity at Fox really kicks them in the behind! Why would they not know this? No gay people working on this set most likely. Now they look like they are calling Romney’s son’s gay. Or maybe they’re gay for Romney’s sons. Which I don’t have a problem with, of course! But I suspect that’s not what they were going for with this song selection.

Are they actually calling for an investigation into who leaked the Seal’s name? Surely Fox knows very well whether the leak came from the White House or not. Why don’t they ask the Fox employee who first reported it to them? They have the proof at their fingertips…yet they merely make some vague suggestions that it came from the White House. Methinks they got it elsewhere.

Ingram misses the real point-on purpose. Religion has always been important to voters. Fox programming and its viewers are even more obsessed with religion than other outlets/viewers. Other people’s religion has always been fair game in politics. It would be very “PC” to ignore Romney’s faith simply because it is out of the mainstream. I for one am very curious about his faith and how it features in his life. I will look for that special on Mormonism.

If you go to a Christian high school’s football game you will find them praying before the game. This is why people send their kids to Christian schools – they include religion. These are the people who are willing to put up the money to educate their kids the way they want. They aren’t sitting around demanding the government do it for them. Personal responsbility and all that.

Akin didn’t just misspeak. He pulled back the curtain a bit too much on the rightwing attitude toward women, religion and abortion. The religious certitude that declares a fertilized egg to be a equivalent to a human being requires a certain certitude of thought that does not allow room for such things as pregnancy due to rape, or abortion to save the mother’s life. These things can’t exist along with the belief in the sacredness of the fertilized egg. Most Republicans just ignore these cognitive dissonances. When they do try to address them, you get bible-science nonsense like Akin’s comments. This is what they believe, or must believe, in order to hold to their egg-sacred culture. They just don’t want everyone knowing how flimsy the basis for their house-of-cards really is.

Isn’t this the plot of the soon-to-be-released-remake of Red Dawn? Maybe the judge has also seen the trailer after imbibing some hallucinogenics and now thinks he lives in a movie plot? If this is what judges are like in Lubbock, maybe we should let the UN have the place.

Speaking of getting a pass. I hear very little about Romney’s Mormonism, certainly nothing from big media. For myself, I see little difference between one miracle-based religion and another. But surely evangelicals, if they chose to, could have some real issues with this guy. But I guess IOKIYAR.

Akin has made it clear that lawmakers-especially male lawmakers- don’t really know enough about health and anatomy to be making decisions about women’s medical care.
This is the problem with religious fanatics making laws. They basically believe that God makes magical things happen. So it becomes easy to believe something incredibly magical and stupid like Akin’s rape-doesn’t-cause-pregancy idea.

Ryan’s original plan was for medicare vouchers TODAY, not 15 years down the road. (The rest of the party made him change it, lest seniors take them all out and hang them.) But really if tomorrow’s seniors are as powerful as today’s seniors, the voucher system will never be allowed to go into effect. So it is just another kick-the-can-down-the-road method of continuing to borrow and spend which is the only way Repub’s like to do business.

Since the Obama campaign has come up with some very successful attack ads against Romney, the new Republican meme is that this campaign is just so full of nasty attacks. Its quite funny coming from people such as Palin whose popularity came directly from ugly, nasty, name-calling attacks on others. If you took all political attacks off the table Fox would have to cut their broadcast day by 7/8.

I’ve started playing a game called name the logical fallacy (of the Fox commentator). Through which I hope to learn more about logical v fallacious arguments. I’m calling this one: Mind projection fallacy-when one considers the way he sees the world as the way the world really is.
