Ann Coulter - The Voice of Reason!?

When Ann Coulter - the mean-spirited, black-heated she-demon from Connecticut, sees the writing on the wall and tells Sean Hannity that the GOP has to take President Obama's plan for avoiding the fiscal cliff, you know the Republican party is in dire straights.









Now if you'll excuse me, I have to check the sky for flying pigs...

Fox & Friends: The Mainstream Media Are Fixing the Poll Numbers!

Breaking news: Denial isn't just a river in Egypt!

After a raft of new polls showed Obama opening up leads in swing states, the Friends flew in to full-blown conspiracy mode about what’s really behind the data.
Parroting the latest Republican meme that national polls oversample Democrats, host Steve Doocy threw in to the mix the possibility that pollsters are using voter turnout from 2008 to guide who they should be asking. And why would the “left-based mainstream media” do this? Doocy had an answer.
“Well, two reasons,” he said. “One, perhaps, to keep Mitt Romney’s donors from coughing up more cash. And two, to keep people from doing early voting.”
Co-host Gretchen Carlson had another theory: “I do think there’s a subliminal message in these daily polling things, which isn’t always great for the voter.”


That's right, folks: Steve Doocy and Gretchen Carlson believe that every pollster from NBC/Washington Post to Quinipiac are somehow deliberately inflating poll numbers to make President Obama  look like he's running away with the electoral college tally, and thus, the election itself. Does Pres-O have these guys on speed dial on his Blackberry or something? But Fox, being the right-wing propaganda machine "fair and balanced" news network that we all know they are, have the real numbers to bust the liberal media's gross distortion that the race isn't a blowout, but a close one that Mitt Romney is quick gaining ground-oh, wait....

So, by the duo's own logic, the company they work for must also be deliberately skewing poll numbers to make Obama look like he's going to win Election 2012, and in similar fashion as he did in 2008. The comedy, as they say, writes itself.

Glenn Beck has left the building

The story:

"I am going to leave this program later this year, but I am not leaving Fox, and I will explain at the end of the program," Beck said. "There is much more important news than 'what's the big fat chunky guy on TV going to do in his future?' This show has always been about our country's future."

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Is This An Impeachable Offense?

The idiots at Fox and friends have their panties in a wad over green eggs at the White House easter egg hunt. I wish I was making this up.

Just come out and say it, already!

The video in which Pollster Frank Luntz asks the audience in De Moines, Iowa if they believe the President of the United States is a Muslim shouldn't surprise anyone who's heard this nonsense before, but listening to some of the responses the small audience give are just astounding.


Of all the comments made during the near-3 1/2 minute clip, the following comment pissed me off the most:

"I think he believes that America is at fault for all the world's problems. I think he doesn't see the good that America has done in the world."

What utter BS!!! Obama has, many times, referred to his background, being born to a white mother and a black father from Kenya, how his mother and white grandparents raised him, and how his rise in the modern political landscape and said that nowhere else on earth is his story possible but in America. In almost every major speech, Obama has referred to America's defining moments - from beating Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan and emerging as the world's superpower, to Dr. King and the Civil Right Movement and the moon landing in '69, after JFK challenged the nation to put a man on the moon in a decade's time. How in the hell do you get off saying some incredible crap like that!?

And let's cut the "he's a Muslim", and "he sympathizes with Islam" catch-phrases, and get right down to the heart of the matter: you don't like the President because he's not the right skin color. Words like "Muslim sympathizer", "socialist" etc., are just code words for what these ignorant men and women really want to say aloud: I'm not comfortable with that n****r in the White House.

Thank You Newshounds. And note to Planet Boob. If you don't know what you are talking about please don't post. And on the slight chance you do know what you are talking about...don't post here anyway.

Jesse Ventura "O'Reilly Is "a spineless puke"



"He's a spineless puke," Ventura said of O'Reilly. "The whole Fox won't have me on. The nighttime guys. I call them the three stooges, and we all know which one's Curly. If Glenn Beck isn't Curly Howard's kid*...I view him and Hannity and them as the Three Stooges, because if they can't intimidate you, they won't have you on."


Late Edit: Look for a post regarding the prick later tonight.

From Dionne's Mouth to the Gods' Ears...

E.J. Dionne's latest at truthdig.com gets it absolutely right. Go there and read the whole thing, but here are some nibbles to whet your appetite:

The smearing of Shirley Sherrod ought to be a turning point in American politics. This is not, as the now trivialized phrase has it, a “teachable moment.” It is a time for action.

The mainstream media and the Obama administration alike must stop cowering before a right wing that has persistently forced its own propaganda to be accepted as news by persuading traditional journalists that “fairness” requires treating extremist rants as “one side of the story.”

...

The traditional media are so petrified of being called “liberal” that they are prepared to allow the Breitbarts of the world to become their assignment editors. Mainstream journalists regularly criticize themselves for not jumping fast enough or high enough when the Fox crowd demands coverage of one of their attack lines.

...

If Obama hates the current media climate, he should stop overreacting to it. And the mainstream media should stop being afraid of insisting upon the difference between news and propaganda.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The Rude One Knows His Shit

That or Conservatives Are Really Predictable!

According To Newshounds Today Glenn Beck Opined:

“I’m actually feeling thankful, surprisingly,” He said. Still upbeat, he added, “If you think this is over, gang… wait until you see what’s coming. They’re already starting on immigration!”



3/19 From The Rude Pundit: Here's what's going to happen after the vote on the reconciliation bill in the House on Sunday: Almost every Tea Partyer who was out there protesting will go the fuck away. They will devote whatever energy they have left to posting comments on blogs and Facebook pages. Their leaders, desperate to still be relevant and still draw a paycheck, will try to come up with some other phantom issue to whip up enthusiasm. But once it passes, no one will give a shit except the people it helps. The Civil War won't be re-fought. The Constitution won't be shredded. One or two states might try to force their misinterpretation of the 10th Amendment. Soon, Beck and Hannity and Michele Bachmann and Steve King will discover another Republic-ending crisis, probably immigration reform, and we'll start the magical cycle all over again.

Murdoch: Beck Was Right To Call Obama Racist

Credit Think Progress

MURDOCH: No, no, no, not Stalin, I don’t think. I don’t know who that, not one of our people. On the racist thing, that caused a grilling. But he did make a very racist comment. Ahhh…about, you know, blacks and whites and so on, and which he said in his campaign he would be completely above. And um, that was something which perhaps shouldn’t have been said about the President, but if you actually assess what he was talking about, he was right.

Newsweek's Jacob Weisberg states the obvious

Fox News Channel isn't really news? Hell, it's un-American, he says!? Blasphemous!

Joking aside, this I what i've been saying for years about Fox News: Fox has every right to exist, just don't call yourself a news organization when you're blatantly carrying the agenda for one side of the political spectrum. If Murdock changed the name from Fox News Channel to Fox Opinion Newtwork, I have no heartburn with that. At least they would be honest (for a change) with their viewers.
