Romney’s Home Stretch Pitch Aims For The Gullible And Ignorant

Posted by: Mark @ 10:18 am

With less than a week until election day, the campaign of Republican contender Mitt Romney is pulling out all the stops to appeal to a voter demographic that is often neglected: the irredeemably stupid. What else could explain Romney’s late surge of blatantly false rhetoric? As he stumps around the nation, Romney is now repeatedly [...]

Fox News: A Fundamental Threat To American Democracy And The Enemies Of The American People

Posted by: Mark @ 3:24 am

On Tuesday’s edition of the Judge Jeanine Pirro show on Fox News, Pirro hosted a discussion with celebrated media analysts Ann Coulter and Pat Caddell. The segment was predictably filled with partisan histrionics and wild-eyed hyperbole aimed at what they perceive to be the “liberal” media. Setting aside the hysterical irony of Fox News pretending [...]

In The Fox Nation, Hurricane Sandy Is All About Anti-Obama Politics

Posted by: Mark @ 4:54 pm

In the hours preceding the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, Fox Nation posts as their “Pic of the Day” something they clearly regard as humorous. Their sense of humor, however, is perverse, to say the least. The picture shows somebody’s home about to be flooded. Fox apparently doesn’t care about the welfare of the residents of [...]

Mitt Romney: Putting This Country Back On The Path To A Zombie Apocalypse

Posted by: Mark @ 11:54 pm

Joss Whedon’s must-see video explains exactly why American needs Mitt Romney. It’s because Romney is “ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, over-population, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare Zombie Wasteland.” They’re out there. And they need brains.

Obama SAVED Lives In Benghazi: An Alternative To The Bogus Fox News Narrative

Posted by: Mark @ 1:50 pm

What happened in Benghazi, Libya, was unarguably tragic. There is no excuse for the sort of violence that took place at an embassy outpost whose purpose is to promote peace and encourage international harmony. Those who lost their lives were sacrificed for a pointless expression of hostility that benefits no one. Sadly, the tragedy has [...]

Fox Nation’s Phony Outrage: Somebody Think Of The Kids!

Posted by: Mark @ 10:54 am

Exploiting children for partisan political purposes is something with which Fox News is well acquainted. They frequently try to corral kids into political controversies for the benefit of a conservative agenda. Sometimes that doesn’t work out so well for them. But they soldier on with overtly biased reporting that exhibits a rampant hypocrisy. Here is [...]

Vile Fox News Audience Wishes That Senate Leader Had Died In Car Accident

Posted by: Mark @ 11:05 pm

Sick, disgusting, lowlife, right-wing scum. That’s the only fitting description for the miscreants who congregate on the Fox News community web site, Fox Nation. As I have previously documented, these hostile heathens have a bloodlust for their political adversaries that is perverted and antithetical to free democracies. They have fantasized about assassinating President Obama (and [...]

Why Is Fox News Attacking Ben Gazzara?

Posted by: Mark @ 2:12 pm

In the past few weeks Fox News has been on an all-consuming rant that defies logic and insults the intelligence of the American people. On an almost 24/7 basis, Fox has broadcast hundreds of false and disparaging reports with little substance and zero evidence. And all of this to vilify a respected man who has [...]

The GOP’s Faith-Based Obsession With Fox News And Other Lightweight Media

Posted by: Mark @ 11:19 am

A new report by YouGov’s BrandIndex reveals something of the character of Republicans and their focus as consumers. The study ranks the favorite brands of Americans and segments them by political party. The top ten brands for Democrats are familiar consumer names with little affiliation to politics: Google Amazon.com Cheerios Clorox Craftsman Dawn M&Ms Levis [...]

Clint Eastwood’s Unpatriotic Ad For Mitt Romney

Posted by: Mark @ 9:22 pm

What is it about desperate politicians who are afraid they are losing that makes them resort to ugly and counterproductive rhetorical assaults? In 2008 we saw Sarah Palin accuse Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” Now, in 2012, Mitt Romney’s surrogates have dispatched Clint Eastwood to up the ante. The ad featuring Eastwood (video [...]

Donald Trump’s Major Announcement: I’m Still America’s Premiere Idiot

Posted by: Mark @ 11:31 am

OK, this just needs to be seen to be believed… There is so much wrong in this statement aside from the utter idiocy of Donald Trump’s hyperbolic promotion of it as “very big news” about President Obama that could significantly alter the race for the White House. First, there is nothing about this that can [...]

Fox Nation vs. Reality: Al Gore Going Up The River?

Posted by: Mark @ 10:06 pm

With the multitude of disreputable sources that Fox News has to chose from, it is still somewhat surprising that they frequently chose to embrace the utterly demented WorldNetDaily as a source for news stories that they republish on Fox Nation. WorldNetDaily is run by the notorious conspiracy monger Joseph Farah. It is the base for [...]

Failing To Score Points By Criticizing Obama, Romney Flips To Agreeing With Him

Posted by: Mark @ 12:41 pm

After watching last night’s debate I was struck by how often Mitt Romney agreed with President Obama on a string of the most significant foreign policy issues. It’s hard to fathom how Romney can go out on the campaign trail and lambaste the President for a foreign policy that he asserts is falling apart, when [...]

Mitt Romney: Taking America Back To The Future – Horses And Bayonets And All

Posted by: Mark @ 6:00 am

The final debate of the 2012 presidential campaign is history, which is ironic because that’s where Mitt Romney appears to want to lead America. There was almost nothing that Romney said that described a vision for the future of America. The entire focus of his remarks centered on either what he regarded as Obama’s failures [...]

Oh The Humanity! Mitt Romney Blimp Crashes in Florida

Posted by: Mark @ 2:09 pm

This is just a little distraction in the build up for the third and final debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney. It may also be a prescient foreshadowing of what’s to come for Romney.

Debate Topic: Romney Win Would Be A Mandate For Torture Per UN Official

Posted by: Mark @ 2:15 pm

Tomorrow’s presidential debate will be focusing on foreign policy. Instead of wasting 90 minutes on shallow disputes over out-of-context soundbites and arguments over who gets credit/blame for events that only tangentially reflect on the office of the presidency, the public would be better served if there was a substantive discussion on the issue just raised [...]

The Heartbreak of Romnesia: A Tragic Prognosis Of Cognitive Dysfunction

Posted by: Mark @ 11:47 am

Sometimes the world is a cruel place that indiscriminately strikes down innocent multimillionaires whose only desire is to fatten the wallets of their friends, family, and wealthy contributors. At times like these we must set aside trivial differences and band together to find solutions and ease the suffering. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is one [...]

Romney Bashes Obama In A Mean-Spirited ‘Comedy’ Routine At The Al Smith Dinner

Posted by: Mark @ 11:22 am

Mitt Romney and President Obama both appeared at the annual Al Smith charity dinner last night (videos below) to deliver a few jokes. But if Romney hoped to soften his image as a cold-hearted, robotic, elitist who doesn’t connect with ordinary folks, he failed miserably. Romney seems to have had the impression that this affair [...]

BIZARRO ALERT: Fox News Editorial Says “Obama Has Continued Bush’s Failed Policies”

Posted by: Mark @ 9:25 am

For anyone looking for signs that Fox News is running out of effective attacks to level at President Obama, the evidence just became abundantly clear that they are near to depleting their reservoir of smears. An editorial on their web site has just deployed the ultimate insult imaginable: Obama Has Continued Bush’s Failed Policies. Ouch. [...]

The Fox News Confessional: Dinesh D’Souza Begs Forgiveness

Posted by: Mark @ 12:50 pm

Most news editorial pages are devoted to expressing opinions on issues of significance to the public. However, as with everything else related to journalistic ethics, Fox News has different perspective. Dinesh D’Souza, the director of the widely debunked crocumentary, “2016: Obama’s America,” was recently accused of having an extra-marital affair and brandishing his new, young, [...]
