Fox News Guest Blames Trayvon Martin For His Own Murder

Shocking, yea, I know. But it’s only shocking to you because you are thinking as a logical person. If you watched Fox News however, you might believe that Trayvon Martin caused his own murder.

That is the kind of information Fox is broadcasting. One of their guest, a former New York Police Detective Harry Houck, actually opened his mouth and made that statement, saying  “… listen, Trayvon Martin would be alive today if he didn’t have a street attitude. That’s the bottom line.”

I supposed the “street attitude” Detective Harry Houck is talking about has to do with the Skittles Trayvon had when he was shot by Zimmerman. Or maybe it was the can of Iced Tea he bought at Seven Eleven. Those two things mixed with Trayvon’s skin color automatically equals “street attitude” in this Detective’s mind.

That is a scary statement, but it’s even more scarier coming from someone who was a New York Police detective. With an attitude like this, I wonder how many innocent people are imprisoned because of this stereotypical racist attitude from a detective.

All his cases should be reopened and examined thoroughly! It’s disgraceful that a detective would even entertain this way of thinking.

Fox News Rape tweets women

Zerlina Maxwell Gets Death Threats And Rape Threats From Fox Viewers

Better watch what you say on Fox News. Zerlina Maxwell is now getting it first hand as the vile and hate from the Fox faithful comes her way.

What was Zerlina’s mistake? She went on Fox’s Hannity show and spoke the truth. She had the nerve to say that arming women with a gun to prevent rape or blaming women who are rape victims is not the way to begin solving the problem.

Zerlina, who is also a rape survivor, expressed that changing the focus to the men committing these acts, should be an important part of the discussion. On the Fox show, Zerlina said this;

The entire conversation is wrong. I don’t want anybody to be telling women anything. I don’t want men to be telling me what to wear how to act, not to drink, and I don’t honestly want you to be telling me that I needed a gun in order to prevent my rape.

Well of course, that was enough to cause some viewers to send Zerlina these tweets:

On Monday, Zerlina went on MSNBC’s The Ed Show and vowed to continue fighting to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to the limelight. “I’m certainly taking steps to protect my emotional health, but I will not be quiet because I refuse to be bullied into silence.”

Bill O’Reilly Blows His Lid In Fox The Land Of Make Believe

Ah, the good ole folks over there at Fox! They’re literally blowing their lids!

Bill O’ Reilly – host of Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor – had Alan Colmes on his “Factor” program earlier tonight and it was quite apparent that Billy forgot to take his medication. Or maybe President Obama cut the amount of medication Reilly was supposed to get!

Actually, that was the reason for O’Reilly’s massive flare up on Colmes. Reilly asked Colmes to “name one damn program Obama said he will cut.” Colmes named two – Medicare and Medicaid, but O’Reilly wasn’t hearing it. He kept insisting that Colmes should name “one program.”

Realizing that he wasn’t getting the calmer Colmes to jog down the insanity road with him, Reilly began personally attacking Colmes. This, understandably offended Alan and he firmly, but respectfully disagreed with O’Reilly.

“Don’t call me a liar! Don’t you dare call me a liar!” Colmes said, over and over again. But the show’s host insisted and continued calling his guest a liar although Colmes correctly named the programs.

Only in the land of Fox Make Believe would someone like Alan Colmes presenting facts be called a liar.

Guess what. The whole thing was caught on tape. Watch the exchange below.

Showdown At The Fox Corral Between Sean Hannity And Keith Ellison

Congressman Keith Ellison went on Sean Hannity‘s Fox News program also known as the Republican channel last night and had what amounted to a showdown at the O.K Fox News Corral… the political version that is.

The Democratic congressman was introduced and already, from the introduction Mr. Ellison had something to say. He referenced a video clip Hannity showed, where Hannity depicted President Obama talking about the Sequester. But Hannity did not allow the president to talk uninterrupted.  Apparently there were other comments and music being played in the background while Mr. Obama spoke.

Congressman Keith Ellison couldn’t wait for Hannity to complete introducing him to the misguided uninformed viewers of Fox. He lashed out at Hannity and controlled the fight for the next six minutes. Ellison called Hannity  “the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen,” and accused the Fox host of engaging in “yellow journalism.

He also referred to Hannity as “deceptive,” said that Hannity had violated “every journalistic ethic I’ve ever heard of,” and called him “immoral.” And that was just the start. There was a time when the confrontation reminded me of what Piers Morgan experienced when he tried to interview the gun loving Alex Jones.

Watch the confrontation below.

Here Comes The Mittens – Mitt Romney Will Give First Post Election Interview To Fox

(NEW YORK) — Fox’s Chris Wallace has landed the first post-election interview with defeated Republican nominee Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann.

Wallace said on “Fox News Sunday” that the interview will air on his show next week. Additional portions will be on Fox News Channel the next day. Wallace says he’ll ask Romney how he has dealt with the defeat, what he plans to do and his thoughts about President Barack Obama’s second-term agenda.

Fox News spokeswoman Ashley Nerz says the interview will be taped this week in southern California, where Romney has spent much of his time since the election.

Romney has also said he will speak March 15 to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, an annual event that draws leading Republican voices.

Fox News Hires The Pizza Man Herman Cain

They got rid of one fool in Sarah Palin, then turn around and brought another fool in.

Fox News announced on Friday that it has signed Cain on as a contributor.

“Cain’s impressive resume makes him a valuable addition to the Fox News and Fox Business lineup. As a political expert with business savvy, he brings an important voice to the nation’s debates,” Bill Shine, Fox News Channel executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.

Cain, a former president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, first ran for president in 2000, ran for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2004, and then made a national splash in his 2012 campaign for president during which he became famous for relentlessly promoting his “9-9-9” tax plan.

Fox News Employees Laughed At 102 Year Old Waiting Hours To Vote

On Fox News Radio’s Kilmeade & Friends, host Brian Kilmeade and Fox’s Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer laughed off the difficulties 102-year-old Desiline Victor endured in order to vote in the 2012 election.

Victor, who was invited to the State of the Union address and whom President Obama applauded for enduring a long wait to vote, had to make two trips to the polls and wait in line for over three hours before she was able to cast her ballot.

Discussing Victor, MacCallum wondered, “What’s the big deal?” and said, “This is such a non-issue. Ridiculous.” Hemmer added that at the State of the Union, “They held her up as a victim. What was she a victim of?”

Fox’s Dick Morris Admits – “I Was Wrong, And I Was Wrong At The Top Of My Lungs”

In 2012, Dick Morris went on the Fox News Network on numerous occasions and predicted a “landslide” win for Mitt Romney in the November presidential election. He even penned an op ed on The Hill attributing this landslide to his determination that President Obama had “no message, no agenda and not even much of an explanation for what he has done over the past four years.” He continued that Obama’s campaign was “based entirely on persuading people that Mitt Romney is a uniquely bad man, entirely dedicated to the rich, ignorant of the problems of the average person.”

This, Morris concluded will be Obama’s downfall and Romney was expected to stroll into the Oval Office. Of course, Morris was wrong about that and he ended up losing his job at Fox News.

Appearing on CNN’s Piers Morgan Show, Morris admitted he “was wrong.” He explained;

“I had a wonderful talk with Roger Ailes — who I really respect — a week ago,” he said. “And he said in this business, you’re up, you’re down. Nothing is final or fatal.”

“Why are you down now?” Morgan asked. “I was wrong, and I was wrong at the top of my lungs,” Morris said.

“Fox has given me the opportunity of a lifetime,” he added. “Fifteen years, 3,000 interviews. And at some point a great marriage has to come to an end.”

“Is there any rational explanation for why you got it so wrong?” Morgan asked him.

“I absolutely believed it, and so did a lot of people,” Morris said. “Rasmussen and Gallup both predicted a Romney victory.

Chris Wallace Politics Wayne LaPierre

Fox News Calls Out Wayne LaPierre – “That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.”

Fox News was suppose to be a safe zone for Wayne Lapierre. The network has taken the very same positions as LaPierre and the NRA. But LaPierre’s visit to Fox today was not a sunday walk in the park, as the NRA’s mouthpiece was called out on numerous occasions as an “out of touch elite” making “ridiculous” statements.

Here’s a clip of LaPierre’s most recent visit. Host Chris Wallace asked LaPierre if he stands by the claims made in a recent ad by the NRA targeting the President’s children. In the ad, the narrator asked, “are the president’s kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school.”

Asked if he agrees with that ad, LaPierre tried to wiggle himself out of the hot seat, saying that the ad was  not about the President’s daughters. Wallace stated that the ad specifically spoke about the president’s daughters. He then asked LaPierre;

“Do you really think that the president’s children are the same kind of target as every school child in America? That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.”

Later on in the discussion, Chris Wallace pointed out the hypocrisy of Wayne LaPierre for criticizing “the elite” for having personal security although he has them too. This fact left LaPierre physically twitching in his seat as he looked for an answer to Wallace’s accusation.

Sarah Palin Tid Bits

Sarah Palin Booted From FOX

Once again, Ms. Palin’s out of a job.

After failing to meet her ratings expectations, Sarah Palin is once again, out of a job. Fox News reports that Palin, who earned $1 million a year as a regular contributor to the station, was no longer meeting her contractual obligations–in other words folks no longer cared what she had to say–about anything.
Bill Shine, the network’s executive vice president, had this to say about Ms. Palin’s departure:

 “We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Governor Palin. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Wish we could say the same…

Fox News Made Me Do It – Man Admits Burning Down A Mosque Because of Fox

An Indiana man convicted of setting fire to an Ohio mosque attributed his crime to the influence of Fox News, which he says convinced him that “most Muslims are terrorists.”

Randolph Linn, 52, of St. Joe, Indiana pleaded guilty to arson for burning the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo. His plea will result in a 20-year prison term; prosecutors had sought a 40-year sentence.

Linn told the court that on September 30 he had gotten “riled up” as a result of watching Fox News and drinking beer. Linn claims to have drank 45 beers in seven hours before heading to the mosque and setting a fire in the prayer room. He was also reportedly armed with a revolver at the time.

During the court proceedings, Judge Jack Zouhary asked Linn if he knew any Muslims or knew what Islam was about.

“No, I only know what I hear on Fox news and what I hear on [right-wing talk] radio,” Linn replied.

“Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up,” Linn told the judge. “Most Muslims are terrorists and don’t believe in Jesus Christ,” Linn falsely stated, ignorant of the fact that Jesus is revered as a prophet in Islam.

After he was arrested on October 2, Linn told officers, “Fuck those Muslims… they would kill us if they got the chance.”

Linn will be formally sentenced on April 16.

Tom Ricks Slams The Fox Network While On The Fox Network – Video

Tom Ricks went into the lion’s den and poked the lion right in the eyes. Mr Ricks, the author of The Generals and Senior Fellow at Center for a New American Security, went on Fox News and told the Republican network the truth, that Benghazi was pushed by the network because they thought there were some political benefits for the Republican party.

I’m pretty sure Tom Ricks has permanently lost his pass to Fox News.
