I know, I know.  One should never pay attention to what Rush Limbaugh says.   But just when you think he cannot get any more desparate and stupid in trying to explain Obama's popularity, he one-ups himself. You see, the reason why Obama is viewed by the American public as being competent in foreign affair is…. because al Qaida is helping! … Read More

There are, unfortunately, waaaay too many people who get all their information from Fox News.  And to the extent that the other media outlets and, let's face it, reality, conflict with Fox News, these rabid fans of disinformation just cover their ears and go "neener, neener, neener".  Usually. One guy in Florida decided that the best way to deal with … Read More

Breitbart's John Nolte pitches falling-on-floor-kicking-screaming temper tantrum about Liberal Media mockery of Clint: All I can say in response is: Go to hell you Obama-shilling crybabies. Eastwood showed more grit and honestly in those few minutes than you water carriers have during your entire propaganda-for-the-collective careers. What Eastwood did tonight was funnier, fresher, edgier,  and braver than anything those comedy cowards Chris … Read More

Aaron Worthing has a race problem.  He's got many other problems too, but he chose to write about race, so that's what the focus will be here. And please know understand what I am saying.  It's not that Aaron Worthing has a problem with other people's racism; he himself has an actual problem with race, which he projects upon others.  In his bubbilisicious … Read More

Boy are they delusional at Fox, and going full steam with their Paul Ryan worship.   Check out this tweet: Um……… NO!  They don't look ANYTHING alike!   Sure, they both have hair and two eyes and a nose and mouth, but…. Geez, Fox.  Get a grip.  Take a cold shower.

Fox News is stupider than two kids. Still annoyed at Obama's comments about how even successful businesses need outside help, the morning Fox show Fox and Friends turned to the ultimate source to prove its point: two little girls who run a lemonade stand. But despite obvious leading questions from host Brian Kilmeade, the girls actually confirmed what Obama said: On Tuesday, "Fox and … Read More

Blame Game

Ken AshfordCrime, Right Wing and Inept Media1 Comment

The rightwing went ballistic this morning because Brian Ross on ABC News cited unconfirmed reports (he pointed out that they were "unconfirmed") that James Holmes, the Aurora Colorado "Dark Knight" gunman, was a member of the Tea Party.  It turns out those reports were wrong, and ABC retracted the unconfirmed report.
