What is This? The Most Right Wingnut Contest of Evul?

Boys ‘n’ girls, put your tinfoil hats on! It’s going to be a bumpy ride!

We all know about Michael Coren, pretty much implying that those kids at the Norwegian Labour Party Youth Camp on Utoya Island deserved their fate for being too left winged and too critical of Israel, in addition to . . . → Read More: What is This? The Most Right Wingnut Contest of Evul?

Fox News drops Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck’s website tones down the implications but Glenn Beck is ‘transitioning‘ from Fox News and will disappear from the network later this year. In effect, he’s been fired. Because of his rabid fans, Fox News has agreed to let him fade away instead of outright cutting the cord. His lack of advertising . . . → Read More: Fox News drops Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck Too Psycho For Fox News?

Sure looks that way. Rumour has it that his contract won’t be renewed when it ends come this December.

Carr believes Beck’s falling ratings might do him in. It seems Beck has lost more than 1 million viewers in the last six months, ever since he crested with his “Restoring Honor Rally” in . . . → Read More: Glenn Beck Too Psycho For Fox News?

There’s a term for what Fox News and wingnut radio do. It’s called ‘Stochastic terrorism’

The outrage from some of the media and the progosphere in particular over dog whistle tactics used by the conservative media to spread hate and encourage violence against progressives, especially Democratic politicians, has been drowned out by the whines of innocence from the very wingers who perpetrate it. But now the media has . . . → Read More: There’s a term for what Fox News and wingnut radio do. It’s called ‘Stochastic terrorism’

What a serious journalist looks like

Bill O’Reilly may be the heart of Fox News and Glenn Beck may be its soul but here’s the face (and body) of the daytime serious news part of Fox News.

Yowza!

I always knew Fox News viewers were a bunch of wankers but . . . → Read More: What a serious journalist looks like

“The Atomic Cafe” – We have met the enemy and he is us

“In times of social crisis and tension, in times when changes come so thick and fast that the individual can no longer place himself in his group, when he knows something is wrong but doesn’t know what, when he feels himself a pawn, in times like these, most men become highly suggestible, they . . . → Read More: “The Atomic Cafe” – We have met the enemy and he is us

Glenn Beck And Guest Would Like a Private Military

Yeah, Glenn, let’s sub-contract out wars to mercenaries. The Hell’s Angels and the Mafia come to mind.

“All people go bad with power”– Yep, no one outta know that better you, eh, . . . → Read More: Glenn Beck And Guest Would Like a Private Military

I Hate Socialized Medicine!*

(*Except when it’s saving my life.)

Doesn’t exactly transfer to Canada, though I am sure there are plenty of Glenn Beck conspiracy theorists here who believe universal health care is the foul work of the Illuminati under the guidance of the communo-socio-nazi-fascists (or vice versa), even as they’re getting their angioplasties and complaining . . . → Read More: I Hate Socialized Medicine!*

Glenn Beck On Evolution-And If it Doesn’t Beat O’Donnell’s, It Comes a Close Second

Remember when Christine O’Donnell said she didn’t believe in evolution because “monkeys are not still evolving  into humans”?

Well, Glenn Beck just came up with a doozy of his own. Never mind his misunderstood rantings over creationism and global warming. He’s never seen a “half monkey/half human”? I guess Glenn Beck never looks . . . → Read More: Glenn Beck On Evolution-And If it Doesn’t Beat O’Donnell’s, It Comes a Close Second

Take that Ezra, Beck and Fox News: Soros gives cool million to Media Matters UPDATED

Now all those gasbags on the right have reason to legitimately tie Soros to Media Matters. It’s actually a reality now. Soros is a donor to Media Matters. A big donor.

Media Matters has done a credible job so far of keeping the feet of the homophobic, racist, criminals of the right’s to the fire. Now, . . . → Read More: Take that Ezra, Beck and Fox News: Soros gives cool million to Media Matters UPDATED

Compassionate conservatism’s finest hour

When George Bush began waving his compassionate conservative flag, the laughter could be heard not just from the left but many on the right had a chuckle, too. The term goes beyond ‘oxymoron’. Any dictionary should have ‘conservative’ as the first entry for antonyms of ‘compassion’.

With the explosion of tea party candidates for . . . → Read More: Compassionate conservatism’s finest hour

What Does The Anniversary of 9/11 Mean Anymore? Seems To Be Not Much More Than a Travesty–Celebration of Hate!

Yeah, yeah! I blaspheme, get over it! Bring the fainting couches in at once, have the smelling salts handy. Yeah, I said it. The anniversary of 9/11 is looking more and more like a travesty to me.   Sick, isn’t it? A day now devoted to paranoia and hate. Not that the U.S. . . . → Read More: What Does The Anniversary of 9/11 Mean Anymore? Seems To Be Not Much More Than a Travesty–Celebration of Hate!

Could The American Tea-Bagger Hit Parade Be A Passing Fad?

What is is it with white conservative losers when they don’t get their way invoking Martin Luther King? We, in Canada, saw it not long ago with the bimbo, Sa-wah Palin look-a-like, Sarah Landriault when she discovered she couldn’t jump to the top of the employment ladder with no marketable skills, certificates, education . . . → Read More: Could The American Tea-Bagger Hit Parade Be A Passing Fad?
