Fox news tipped its hat, donating directly to RNC campaigns.
Fair and Balanced? How does a direct contribution of money to an election campaign from a news organization count as fair and balanced?
Now they are scrubbing that info from wikipedia.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

This is a good one.

Could you even imagine a more blatant lie from a "news" personality?
Check in at 5:10 in the clip for the most obvious, shameful, tediously
easy to falsify nonsense on fox "news". The whole clip is worth watching,
but 5:10 should set the mood. HOW DOES THIS MAKE IT TO AIR?

Hannity, distinguished and professional journalist that he is, jumps up and starts humping this story without taking a single moment to doubt the truthfulness of

"Harry Reid voted to give viagra to pedophiles."

As espoused by his political opponent, and known crazy person, Sharon Angle.

It is then left to Mike Huckabee to offer tepid resistance to the concept.

I think Republicans have gone really whacky. I used to think Republicans wanted a limited government, a small government. Well, no, turns out that's Libertarians. Republicans want to take us directly to a totalitarian state. Look how eager they are to tell us who we can marry, and legislate our drug use (war on drugs). And now watch how eager they are to toss out our constitutional rights. Scary.
