Sarah Palin served up one of her delicious word salads yesterday on Fox Business, accusing "the establishment" of trying to "crucify" Newt Gingrich by "subscribing" incorrect characterizations of him. Via words. Video “They maybe subscribe such characterization of Newt via words like that, but they don’t subscribe those to say Mitt ...

As we've noted at LGF many times, Fox Nation, official discussion forum of Fox News, has become utterly indistinguishable from a neo-Nazi hate site like Stormfront. And here's another graphic, disgusting demonstration. Yesterday, whatever race-baiting goon runs that site posted a video of Sheila Jackson Lee, criticizing Newt Gingrich's racist code ...

I may have spoken too soon when I declared Sarah Palin's "dumb arse media" the totally ridiculous wingnut spin of the day, because Fox News contributor Dr. Keith Ablow has come up with an even more howlingly insane rationalization for Newt Gingrich's sleazy personal life: Newt Gingrich's Three Marriages Mean ...

Here's an open thread for wrap-up comments about tonight's GOP debate, possibly the most race-baiting debate so far, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I could hardly believe the audience reactions tonight. For example:

The racist commentary has become almost unbelievably overt at Fox News. Today's example is from the Sean Hannity show with Mark Steyn hosting, as Media Research Center chief Brent Bozell says President Obama looks like a "skinny ghetto crackhead." Mark Steyn's reaction to this blatantly bigoted remark: a chuckle. Video

The media are now pretending that there was some actual conflict, but the Republican candidates obviously agree with each other on almost every issue. Except for Ron Paul, who consistently plays the Crazy Uncle. The only real "conflict" tonight came from the attacks on each other's past positions for not being ...
I'm trying to decide whether to play Batman: Arkham City or live-blog the Iowa GOP debate. But how can I resist the sheer spectacle of the Republican Clown Car as it pulls into Sioux City, Iowa with a full load of pandering politicians? And with questions from Fox News, no less. Live ...

If I hadn't seen this happen over and over and over at right wing websites, I might be shocked by the proud, open racism expressed by Fox News commenters in this article about Wyclef Jean's Haitian charity fund.

In Australia, President Obama mentioned that America's educational system needs improvement and that we're falling behind in science and math; predictably, this led to yet another outburst of deranged right wing commentary about Obama "bad-mouthing the US." For example, in this article at Fox Nation: Obama Bad-Mouths US to Aussie ...

Here's a pretty amazing demonstration of the crude reactionary agenda of Fox News, a compilation of their "coverage" of clean energy technologies. This isn't just ignorance at work; Fox is promoting the interests of the fossil fuel industries, to the detriment of the whole world.

Remember those "audience-submitted" questions at the Fox News debate last night?
