Who is religious freedom granted to- the individual or the religious group itself? I don’t know many Catholics—even the hardcore kind who have never used birth control. It is hard to imagine many Catholics will take to the streets about something that they know makes them hypocrites.
Fox and the bishops have turned the idea of religious freedom on its head by trying to impose religious views through their business ventures. Businesses which will not offer a full range of accepted medical services need to close or be sold off. The Bishops can then use the money to save the poor they helped create by limiting birth control and supporting politicians who target the poor in favor of the rich.
The Bishops had letters against the Obama admin birth control issue read in every church in the country. When they do the same over Republican policies, I’ll take them seriously.

Its true that right wingers find personal insults to be the highest form of humor. But a joke is not meant to be entirely truthful, Bill’s insults are.

This is a great example of Right-Wing Brain Error Syndrome. I think that Doocy heard Obama’s quote as stated but because his brain is on hate 24/7, his brain interpreted the statement in a more snarky, hate-filled way that Doocy could more readily relate to. This is the problem for many right-wing people, their paranoid, fear-based brains hear an attack where there is none. It speaks volumes about THEM and is a clear reason why all their statements should be taken with a large and frequent dose of salt. Evil or Stupid? I think it is some of each.

This is an ‘interesting story’ according to Bill. The only thing that could make this anything but a big snooze of a story is that Bill is using it to demonize a celebrity, booga booga. If the right don’t get their red meat each day they might just turn on Bill himself. Still I’m sure they will turn on him one day.

I realize I need to stop thinking that media = journalism anymore. It simply does not, can not, be journalism when a newspaper quotes a second party opinion show as the one and only source of a story and the rest of the media says nothing. MSM you are in collusion with Fox by cowardly ignoring their propaganda maquerading as journalism.

So glad that Fox is fighting for the religious freedom of the collosally large and wealthy Roman Catholic Church. Where are they on the rights of the employees of the church’s money-making businesses to NOT be subject to the rules of a religion they don’t belong to? In Foxland freedom of religion belongs to the religion itself, not to the individual.

When Bill calls for people to stay calm, it seems that he really wants them to stop talking about it. Does he really think that without Sharpton and the rallies, that anyone would have even heard about this case outside of Sanford? or that Zimmerman would never have been arrested? Who would have put Ms. Fulton on TV if there had not been weeks of public outcry? Not Bill-O, that’s for sure.
I really could not understand Fox’s rush to defend Zimmerman at first. It seemed to make the statement that Fox represents white people over black people – to make their basic racism more obvious. It seems more and more that the right has started to be more open and honest about their racism. They feel comfortable doing so. And that makes me very uncomfortable.

Students who pay tuition have a right to demand value for their education dollar. The Tea Party on the other hand while paying the lowest tax rates in 50 years, still wanted them lower, you know In Fox speak it would be known as representation without taxation. What mindless nonsense Fox engages in. One day soon they will be nothing but a joke. An embarrassing joke.

It is a hoot to see the Tabloid-Right get their panties in a bunch over ‘disrespectful’ language. (Can you say racist dog whistle?) At least he didn’t call them unpatriotic, evil, unamerican, sluts or nuts. It is the court itself, through its bizarre and extreme decisions-especially Citizens United-which has disrespected ‘We The People!’
And if he had not defended Obamacare they would have labeled the Pres. a wimp.

The insurance industry is beginning to take notice of climate change as their bottom line is hit hard by all of this unusual and extreme weather. Scientists can’t convince the rightwing that climate change is real, but when the insurance industry gets noisy about this, Fox will probably fall in line, after all there is no higher authority for them than some CEO with a super-high income.

Fox itself has kept this story going by insisting from the beginning that this killing was not about race. They certainly jumped to that conclusion with ease. I find their position bizarre. Why do they care so much whether it was about race? They seem to have a lot invested in the idea that only white Christian people are victims and everyone else is being ‘politically correct’ or politicizing a story when they claim victimhood.

I’d like to see some helpful information from Andrews on how to spot a lie. But that information might actually be helpful to viewers (but harmful to Fox ratings.) So instead he just tells people to continue to be followers—just pick the right guy to follow!LOL

Apparently Neil thinks it is OK for a President to override pending legal matters in order to make Exxon’s bottom line better, in other words choosing corporations over state’s rights. Yeah, that’s the Republican way.
Partisan America is a much worse enemy to the USA than another country’s oil company. Neil and his Fox cohorts are a massively destructive force in this country. But they choose their ratings over patriotic behavior every time.

If I could ask Martha a question it would be “Is it wise for the white people of Fox to take the position that the Trayvon case is not about race?” and “Why isn’t it ok for non-whites to be victims?”

Fox also started refering to Obama’s ’Czar’s’ as if it was a real government title and not a media-created word. They’ve also taught all their viewers bad grammar with the use of ‘Democrat’ as an adjective, making it easy to ‘Spot the Moron’ in any crowd.

It is not the biggest corporations trying to get a better tax break—they’ve already got a nice deal—it is the richest 400 Americans who stand to benefit from Ryan’s pipe dream budget. It certainly isn’t all 400 of them, but lets say the majority of the richest Americans, and these are the most irresponsible and the most power hungry Americans around.
