motherjones: cognitivedissonance: Michelle Malkin makes the claim that Occupy Wall Street is 99% white. It hurts my irony bone for someone on Fox News to criticize a social movement for being “99% white.” It hurts real bad. According to Malkin: “The protesters have taken to calling themselves the ‘99 percent’ in the country, labeling the capitalists they wish to remove from power the other ‘1 percent.’ When Occupy Wall Street activists call themselves the ‘99 percent,’ it turns out they mean 99 percent non-diverse (by their own politically correct measurements). It’s as pale out there at Camp Alinsky as MSNBC’s prime-time lineup or the New York Times editorial board. Not counting the cameos by Jesse Jackson and Cornel West, that is.” Uh-huh… love the photo choice showing a rather diverse crowd, Fox Nation. I don’t need to debunk your claim since you, um, did it yourselves. Bravo. h/t to Media Matters  Oh, Malkin, you race-baiting fact-mangler, you.

 Oh, Malkin, you race-baiting fact-mangler, you.

Still desperately trying to paint President Obama as having done nothing but raise taxes during his presidency, Fox News falsely claimed today that Obama wants to “raise everybody’s taxes” as well as “taxes on small businesses.” Both claims are not only false, but are actually the reverse of reality: the president’s recently released American Jobs Act calls for tax cuts for the vast majority of working, middle-class Americans, as well as tax cuts for businesses, and more tax cuts for businesses that hire the long-term unemployed.

Still Not True: Fox’s Gasparino Ignores Reality To Claim Obama Wants To “Raise Everybody’s Taxes” (via ryking)

Why can’t Fox be sued for liable or slander?  They keep making bold face lies about not only the president but many others.  Isn’t it illegal to just make things up and call it “news”?

(via questionall)

No. While, it is misinformation these idiots are permitted to continue speaking as they wish under constitutional law.

Fox is very careful about how they go about there hate campaigns. 

Libel would be me starting a site saying that you kill puppies or some other ridiculousness that has no basis in fact. Since there are potential policies in these cases it based on fact; they are just not giving the fact when it comes to what the policies actually are, and that is left up to interpretation of the policies.

To be considered poor you must not own: Clothing Cellphones Stoves Ovens Cars Refrigerators Tents Houses Jewlery Junk food Soda Shoes Televisions Weather radios Radios Cds Mp3 players

It doesn’t matter if its a gift or some one paid those bill for you; truly poor people don’t have anything nice!

THIS HAS BEEN A PSA BY THE GOP; HOME OF THE COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE!

stfuhatemongers: reallyfoxnews: inothernews: This is one of just a few onscreen graphics that Fox “News” actually put on the air. I remember some asshole on here going on about how I was declaring “class warfare” because I thought things like universal healthcare were good things, things that would benefit our fellow men and women who — numbering in the tens of millions — go without such things. So what the fuck is this, exactly?  What is Fox “News” trying to prove here?  That poor people aren’t actually “poor” because they have something in their homes that prevents essential foodstuffs like milk and eggs from spoiling? That having things like a TV or a cellphone makes them, in words ACTUALLY USED ON FOX “NEWS” TO DEFINE POOR PEOPLE, “the takers,” “parasites” and “the moocher class”? That a family of four making less than $23,000 a year is somehow getting away with something by literally being too poor to be taxed by the federal government? Go fuck yourselves. No seriously.  Go fuck yourselves right now. ^ commentary. My fridge broke and all of my food spoiled (immediately after buying groceries). I bought a used one for cheap.  You mad Fox News?

Fred Karger To File FEC Complaint Against Fox News For Excluding Him From Iowa Debate

reallyfoxnews:

progressivefriends:

“Excluding him after he met the debate’s requirements resulted in “corporate in-kind donations to those eight participants,” Karger told The Daily Caller. “Which, of course, is millions and millions of dollars in air time, and then all of the publicity that comes as a result of it.”  More here.

Interesting…

Awesome.

greenstate: reallyfoxnews: “As Milwaukee Public School teachers left their classrooms to march in Madison Friday, they likely earned more than $3 million to not teach students in Wisconsin’s largest school district. In Madison, the school district was closed for three days after hundreds of teachers engaged in a mass sick-out so they could attend protest rallies at the State Capitol. That could cost the district $2.7 million. Late Sunday night Madison Metropolitan School District administration announced their schools would be shut down yet one more day, at a possible cost of more than $900,000.” Teachers aren’t earning money from protesting, and this contradictory article equates money from the district to the pay of teachers.  But Fox News apparently ignores this, and continues to insinuate that teachers are making millions are in the headline. make sure this gets passed around before people like evilteabagger decide it’s news.  WOW. Look at that spin.

Some Christians Can Do the Right Thing; The Others are Blaze Readers

From Fox News:

Heartsong Church in Cordova, Tenn., let members of the Memphis Islamic Center hold Ramadan prayers there last September. And Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Alexandria, Va., allows the Islamic Circle of North America to hold regular Friday prayers in their building while their new mosque is being built.

That is the actual story, but it wouldn’t be complete with out the spin, after all it is Fox and you can read the whole story filled with intolerance and BS here. The Blaze article clips only 3 paragraphs and links because the over-all point to this is to create a controversy where there is none.

Also bonus comments that show complete misinformation, willful ignorance, and how the Fox Machine works:

Should Black Churches rent space for KKK meetings?
Should Rats rent cage space to snakes?
Should we elect socialist to the sentate?

All stupid questions, but not as stuipid as, should we allow the govt. to tell us we must buy a product.

That’s one hell of a slippery slope you have created there. If it is their choice, which in this case it is, what exactly is the problem?

Rats can’t rent space, and socialism isn’t a form of government so what is the exact danger of electing a socialist? The run all of the time. o.o

The rest of this comment is just off topic nonsense because they didn’t have an argument in the first place. If it is not okay for the government to tell you what to buy, then why is it okay for you to pretend that you can tell others what they can do? Small government!

A simple no… they are 2 different religions.

This has nothing to do with anything. At all.

Interestingly enough, I find no coincidence here. These two will merge. Check out http://www.worldtocome.org and watch the white horse episodes, I think theres three parts. He has some very interesting info on the Catholic church and the white horse from revelation.

You need a psychiatric ward.

You have the right answer. It’s “no” and as simple as that. There is no “right” to access private property, Christian churches or otherwise, and it would be inappropriate to use any house of worship for other than for its intended faith.

It is however the right of the property owners, in this case the church to allow this no? And that is exactly what is going on.

It is inappropriate because you don’t like Muslims. The intended faith in both Christian and Islam is the belief in God. Irrelevant argument is irreverent.

Strange, really strange. Kind of like running towards the tornado, then wondering why you where sucked up and spite out. Strange that the Muslims would set foot on the infidels floor.

In both Gospel of Mark and Matthew, Jesus condemns those who have been using the sacred temple as a marketplace, proclaiming that they have “made it a den of thieves.

Well in that case Jesus would condemn pretty much every church because they take money for a variety of reasons, have bake sales, and on and on. That seems more of a “marketplace” than allowing Muslims to have some place to freely practice their religion.

Furthermore, didn’t Jesus say something along the line of “love thy neighbors”? Again, with the picking and the choosing of what you want to listen to.

Lastly, infidels. If it is a fair assessment that all Muslims are fanatics; then it should be a fair assessment that all Christians are fanatics, right? Generalizing gets you nowhere and again this just isn’t an argument of any kind. The slip up on “spite” seems pretty accurate, this one is full of it.

The virus of radical Islam lies dormant within the Islamic religion and is passed along to others within the Islamic faith. One never knows when or where it will surface.

Religion is a virus? Replace the word Islam with Christian and see how asinine this is.

The bottom line here is that you cannot reasonably, or rationally in the case of these commenters, condemn a church for doing what churches are supposed to do and that is help some one in need regardless of faith.

They have extended a hand to people that are suffering needless and horrible oppression and prejudice for simply having a different faith and for that reason they are better people with a better congregation than most others. If I had any belief in God, this would be the kind of church that I would want to attend. The kind that can put aside blind faith, recognize injustice, extend a hand, and become better people for it. They shouldn’t profit from it though. -cough-

I never fail to find one of these guys. It is posted as a screen shot one because he edited it and I have a sneaking suspicion that he was actually dumb enough to post a threat to Obama’s life online and two because I positively refuse to have that vomit as searchable text on my blog. The original comment read “it is just a matter of time for me…” BTW. At any rate: Meet the Oath Keepers! A not-so lovely brand of anti-government militias that love Fox News and the Tea Party. I’ll bet that makes you feel real safe. You will probably remember a certain Nevada “second amendment remedy” candidate stating that she “identifies with” this group the most. They also mention the “New World Order” a lot. All in all a lot of their rhetoric is what you would expect from the typical Tea Bagger. To be fair their website (which I provided a link to) makes them look like a less scary more stable Glenn Beck type folks, but SPLC tells a different story and I am more likely to trust them especially after comment like the above normally with a lot more craze and profanity. The organization it’s self encourages police and soldiers to disobey orders and has had many notable arrests of late ranging from having possession of napalm to the sexual assault of a 7 year old girl. The latter spoke at a Tea Party event in 2009. Classy, Tea Party, really. Many others have been tied to various other fringe groups; you can find out more here.

This Just In: Fox News Viewers are More Likely to Be Bigots!

Studies have already shown that regular Fox News watchers are “substantially” more misinformed about current events than consumers of other media, and that “greater exposure to [Fox] increased misinformation on a specific issue.” But a new poll suggests the conservative network may not just be harmful to viewers’ knowledge, but to their tolerance as well.

O’REILLY: As you may know, Factor producer Jesse Waters occasionally does man on the street interviews with people who dodge the Factor. That has angered some on the far left and groups like ThinkProgress do not like Jesse. They are, of course, misguided. Anyway, some nebbish from that group caught up with Watters in Washington. […] This dopey Media Matters outfit, which is a Web site, ran some kind of blind report, right? … This moron comes out there and who’s — “are you making stuff up?” Most people say no, we don’t make stuff up. You were brilliant in the sense that you don’t even answer the question. This is stupid.
