The Same Republicans Demanding Benghazi Answers, Cut Funding For Security in Benghazi

The entire media is now focused on Benghazi. Fox News must be happy that the rest of our shortsighted media is apparently jumping on this Fox created, fake conspiracy issue. And again I ask, where was all this focus, this determination to find the truth when 13 different Embassies were attacked under the Bush administration? Where was the noise makers when multiple Americans were killed?

  • 5 people were killed in a Consulate attack in India in 2002.
  • 12 more were killed in a US Consulate attack in Pakistan. That attack caused an additional 59 injuries
  • Another 2 people killed in another US Consulate attack in Pakistan in 2003
  • In Saudi Arabia, another Consulate attack killed 36 people, including 9 Americans.

Fox, where were you? No peep from the Republicans when all these Americans were being slaughtered overseas!

  • 2 more killed when an Embassy was attacked in Uzbekistan in 2004
  • 9 more killed in another attack in Saudi Arabia, still in 2004
  • Pakistan in 2006, another attack, another four people killed, including Diplomat David Foy
  • Another 2006 Embassy attack, this time in Syria. 4 more people killed, 13 injured

Crickets on Fox News. Nothing to see here in the Republican party!

  • In 2007 and 2008, Greece and Yemen joined in attacking our Embassies
  • The attack in Istanbul, Turkey took another 6 people from the land of the living.
  • Then back in Yemen on September 17th 2008, where 16 people died in yet another Embassy attack.

The Americans who died in all these attacks deserved the same questions and scrutiny, but none came because a Republican Commander in Chief ruled. All was well, except for all the attacks and the lives lost.

But now, now that there is one Embassy attack with a Democratic Commander in Chief at the helm, Fox kept pounding. They manufactured talking points for Congressional Republicans to regurgitate over and over again. And here we are, years after the unfortunate attack that took 4 lives, the rest of the so-called Media seems to be fully on-board the Fox train wreck!

One of the talking points Republicans in Congress keep pushing questions why President Obama took away Embassy security… as if that is even Constitutionally possible.

Watch and listen as the Republican in the video below proudly admitted taking away funding for Embassy security, but maintained he had nothing to do with why ample security was missing from Benghazi!

You know the drill… #BlameObama!

GOP Should Call It Quits – Fox News Now Against Them

John McCain and Rep Steve King have questioned their party’s decision to shut down the government following the instructions from first year Senator Ted Cruz. That wasn’t expected but it was good to see. When anyone from the most partisan Republican propaganda machine begins to question the wisdom of the shutdown, then you know the Republicans are in deep dodo.

That is what happened when Fox’s Gretchen Carlson interviewed Representatives Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Adam Smith (D-Wa) about the recent Republican government shutdown.

Republicans finally accepted the proposal from Congress and reopened the government last night, but yesterday when this interview took place and everyone knew the details of the Senate proposal, the Democratic Representative pointed out the fact that the House could have accepted this same proposal since the beginning of the shutdown. Smith said, “the shame of it is, this is something we could have done back in the beginning of October.”

This is where the impossible happened. The Fox News host agreed that the shutdown was a failure in the eyes of the sane American citizenry.

“Isn’t this what Americans hate quite frankly, about you guys, members of Congress?” Carlson asked. “That this is something that could have been done long ago and here we are again?”

When Fox News gets it right, then you know you’ve really messed up!

Fox’s Ed Henry is a Dick – Video

In the middle of yesterday’s Press Conference, the si-called White House correspondent for Fox News couldn’t show the necessary respect to his fellow members of the press or president Obama’s Press Secretary.

Why is he even allowed in the room anyway. Is Fox News a news outlet?

Fox News Reports Another Fake Story as Truth

But what else is new. Reporting fake stories or stories filled with lies and misrepresentation is something perfected by Fox. So this story – originated from a satirical website – was included in a on Fox broadcast. Apparently, it fell right in line with their Modus operandi.

On October 5, the co-hosts of Fox & Friends Saturday discussed the closure of the World War II Memorial, which resulted from the Republican-led shutdown. During the discussion, co-host Anna Kooiman claimed that while the memorial is closed, “President Obama has offered to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture.”

KOOIMAN: The Republican National Committee is offering to pay for it to keep it open so that the veterans from Honor Flight are going to be able to go and see this because who did it honor? It honored them. It really doesn’t seem fair, especially — and we’re going to talk a little bit later in the show too about some things that are continuing to be funded. And President Obama has offered to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture out of his own pocket, yet it’s the Republican National Committee who’s paying for this.

Unfortunately for Kooiman, the claim that Obama offered to pay out of pocket for a “museum of Muslim culture” originated from the satirical website the National Report. As the fact-checking site Snopes.com points out, a now-removed disclaimer on the National Report noted: “National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news.”

Sarah Palin Demands The Truth from Fox News

Sarah Palin is angry and she wants everyone including her employer Fox News,  to know it.

An avid supporter of Ted Cruz and his pointless efforts to defund Obamacare –legislation that passed both the House and Senate, signed into law by the President and found to be legal by the Supreme Court – Palin took to Twitter to demand that Fox News give up the names of their anonymous Republucan sources, who are criticizing Cruz.

On his Fox News Sunday show, host Chris Wallace made the point that after booking Cruz on his show,  he received complaints from a list of Republicans, all against Cruz and his defunding campaign.

Said Wallace;

“This has been one of the strangest weeks I’ve ever had in Washington, and I say that because as soon as we listed Ted Cruz as our featured guest this week, I got unsolicited research and questions not from Democrats, but from top Republicans — to hammer Cruz.

Palin apparently didn’t believe Wallace was telling the truth, and demanded that he release his list.

Like everyone is doing these days, Wallace ignored Palin’s demand.

In a classic case of the tail wagging the dog, Ted Cruz has convinced the Republican party that defunding Obamacare is their only ticket to relevancy and thus, the White House in 2916. And they have apparently bought into his assumption that the Demicratic controlled Senate and the president will void their own law.

These things will never happen of course, but leadership is lacking in the Republican party. And anyone who steps up to the plate with an idea – no matter how farfetched that idea is as in the case of Ted Cruz – that person will be followed.

Jon Stewart Fires a Barrage of Truths at Fox News

But we’re talking about Fox News here, and chances are they’ll have no idea what Stewart meant when he said;

And I get that Fox opposes a Syria peace plan because its motus operandi is to foment dissent in the form of a relentless and irrational contrarianism to Barack Obama and all things Democratic to advance its ultimate objective of creating a deliberately misinformed body politic whose fear, anger, mistrust and discontent is the manna upon which it sustains its parasitic succubus-like existence.

After all, what Stewart said was true, and truth plus a dose of Fox don’t mix.

Fox News Wonders if Syria is Sign That The End is Near

The video below is Fox News’ Neil Cavuto discussing with evangelical writer and former political consultant Joel Rosenberg whether or not the current civil war in Syria is a harbinger of the End Times.

To be fair, both pundits were careful to say that we simply don’t know if Damascus is about to be destroyed in accordance with Old Testament prophesy, but thought it was something we should all be keeping an eye on.

Rosenberg has been conjecturing about conflict in the Middle East being a sign of the End Times since at least 2006, and has been a frequent Glenn Beck guest during the time Glenn Beck was a thing, so it appears the particulars of what is happening in the Middle East during any particular year are less important then the general theme of imminent-supernatural-maybe-perhaps-doom. All of this is likely to be quite upsetting to the Fox News audience, especially those who have forgotten to take their morning anti-apocalypse pills.

Fox Expert – “Women Have The Breasts,” So They Should Pay More for Health care

A Fox News medical expert on Tuesday argued that President Barack Obama’s administration was wrong to force gender equality for health insurance rates because men “only have the prostate,” while women “have the breasts, they have the ovaries.”

“Look, it’s not bias, I’m not saying this as a man,” Fox News Medical A-Team contributor Dr. David Samadi told the hosts of Fox & Friends. “They go through a lot of preventive screenings, they give birth, they have the whole mammogram, the Pap smear. Guys, we don’t like to go to doctors, right? Seventy percent of health care decisions are made by women. In my own practice, I see it’s the women who bring the guys, who say, go get screened.”

“Yeah, but shouldn’t that earn us a discount?” Fox News host Gretchen Carlson interrupted. “Basic fact that we are responsible for getting our men to come to the doctor? And what about the fact that women, because they do all this preventative care, maybe their health issues end up costing less than men’s, who don’t go to the doctor until it’s a crisis and a big deal.”

“Yes, that’s a good point, except that, you know, women live longer,” Samadi asserted. “Women live until age 81 and men live only until 76. So, we’re using the health care system much less.”

“In this case, it’s not equal,” co-host Brian Kilmeade agreed. “You have a better time on Earth than we do, you’re here a lot more. You have six years of heaven, where you just have no men around.”

Carlson pointed out that women were blamed for maternity costs, “but men and women have babies together.”

“I agree with you that it’s a shared responsibility,” Samadi said. “But just the way the system are — in my field, we only have the prostate. Women have the breasts, they have the ovaries, they have the uterus. They get checked in every part.”

Fox News Names “Muslim Brotherhood Agent” Working in Obama’s Administration

Yes, on Fox News’ Hannity tonight, the name of a so-called “agent of the Muslim Brotherhood” was named. Brooke Goldstein, Director of The Lawfare Project and frequent guest on Fox News programs, went out of her way to expose a rotten hidden Obama secret. A secret that Fox News and their viewers already knew the answer to. And that nasty secret is… that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government and is working for the President.

Heck, this is not the first time we’re hearing this, so you shouldn’t be shocked. Even an elected official, Michele Bachmann warned us that this was happening thanks to Obama. A little over a year ago back in June 2012, Bachmann dropped this piece of nugget:

It appears that there has been deep penetration in the halls of our United States government by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood has been found to be an unindicted co-conspirator on terrorism cases and yet it appears that there are individuals who are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood who have positions, very sensitive positions, in our Department of Justice, our Department of Homeland Security, potentially even in the National Intelligence Agency. I am calling upon the Justice Department and these various departments to investigate through the Inspector General to see who these people are and what access they have to our information.

We always wondered who Bachmann was referring to. She has a way of lying and making her lies sound like truths. But Bachmann never elaborated on her statement and now we know. Brooke is naming names!

Brook Goldstein, in responding to a question about why about why the terrorists “do not fear us” under President Obama as they clearly did under Bush, Brooke answered by stating something we’re sure she has researched and is now presenting as her fact. Brooke said that “we have a policy of cuddling the Muslim Brotherhood.”

She went on;

We have Muslim Brotherhood… in the Government. And I can name it right here, I can name Arif Alikhan who is our Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Policy Development, who is a Muslim Brotherhood Agent in our Government. Who is advising our foreign policy? This is a question that all Americans deserve an answer to.

Brooke however failed to include this little bit of info on Arif Alikhan. Yes, he is working in the government and yes, he is a Muslim, but Arif has been working in governmental affairs long before Obama became President. A quick trip to FactCheck found that Arif came from Los Angeles, where he served as deputy mayor for homeland security and public safety. Before working for Democratic Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Alikhan was a top prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1997 to 2006.

And get this: Arif even worked for the Bush Administration as Senior Counsel and Executive Director of the Intellectual Property Task Force. Yes, that same George Bush who Fox loves so much.

However, don’t let the decades of government work by Arif fool you. Brooke and Fox News have a talking-point to maintain and that talking point includes inducing the fear of all Muslims into their low information audience. And what better way to do that, than telling their audience that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the government, thanks to Obama?

Rodeo Clown Sean Hannity Cannot Understand The Rodeo Clown Outrage

But this does not surprise anyone. The clown show at Fox has been entertaining their fans, whipping them into a hateful frenzy every time the name Barack Obama is mentioned.

So seeing the outrage that was caused when another rodeo clown tried to impersonate the president at a state sponsored event in Missouri, by wearing an Obama mask and shoving a stick up his ass… well such an outrage just boggles Hannity’s mind.

On his Fox Entertainment program, Hannity needed to make sure that there were others who agreed with him. And his point that the rodeo clown did nothing wrong would be more believable if his agreeable guests… were black.

Enter Jehmu Greene and and Erik Rush. Greene went first, explaining that she loves rodeo clowns because they are the “epitome of destruction.”

“It’s ridiculous,” Greene said. The NAACP is out of their dang minds to think that this should be investigated by the Department of Justice. Surprise, surprise that I think this is way overkill.”

Erik Rush added his two cents, calling the outrage, “the biggest batch of race-baiting bunk I’ve ever seen.”

It was the usual love fest in the Entertainment Network. They seeds of Obama hate landed on the usual ground and their audience ate it up.

All is well in the Fox hole.

John McCain on Fox News – “Fox News is a bit schizophrenic”

If Republican John McCain keeps this up, I’m going to have to write more good things about him.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was asked for his thoughts on the love/hate relationship that he has had with the personalities on Fox News Channel over the years. McCain told TNR’s Isaac Chotiner that he has never changed, but Fox’s opinion of him and the issues he tackles has shifted dramatically over the years. “I think that Fox News is a bit schizophrenic,” the Arizona senator opined.

“You have had conversations with people at Fox, The New Yorker reported, about immigration,” Chotiner asked, citing a report by Ryan Lizza which revealed that McCain had approached Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes asking him and his network to be more receptive to immigration reform proposals.

“There is a real divide in the party,” Chotiner continued. “What do Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch say about whether the party can come along on this issue?”

“It is well known that Rupert Murdoch is a strong supporter of immigration reform,” McCain replied. “Roger Ailes is also a realist. He believes that immigration reform is vital to the country first, but also the GOP. Yet he does not dictate. [Sean] Hannity has come out against it and kept his job. I don’t think Roger Ailes is ham-fisted.”

“But if you watch Fox, there are all these segments on immigrants and crime and so on, and people get riled up, and then they want reform,” the TNR reporter followed up. “It’s a difficult dynamic in the party.”

“I think that Fox News is a bit schizophrenic,” McCain shot back. “I saw a guy on “Hannity,” maybe “Huckabee,” and the guy said, “You know, the Chinese are coming across our border, and they are going to commit cyber-attacks.”

Chotiner expressed incredulity over the belief that one would have to cross a physical border to execute a cyber-attack. “Honest to God!” McCain assured him. “They are going to commit cyber-attacks.”
