Re: "WND vs. O'Reilly": Mr. Farah should go back to yesterday's links page. Our J$ posted audio of IBill's response to a viewer e-mail Tuesday night. I also transcribed it for my private Google discussion group. Here's the key part: "... [B]oth Honolulu newspapers carried birth announcements for Barack Obama in August 1961. So, what, did they make up the baby?! Come on!"
This birther business is very frustrating. Give it up, people.

6 of the last 10 stories from the Hefty Heinous Horrrendous Hens of Houndland have to do with race, racism and racists.
Not one of their stories contains ANY documented evidence that anyone at Fox is a racist other than the fact that they mention Obama. Calling Obama a racist is not racist in itself. Otherwise every time a black race pimp calls whitey a racist he himself would be considered a racist based on the Heinous Hens standards.
They are soooo desperate to be recognized they will throw anything in the pot without providing actual documented evidence. They never do.

This whole thing about race is getting just obnoxious, on both sides.
Hardball played a bit from F & F of Glenn Beck idiotically saying that Pres. Obama might be a racist.
Chris Matthews, himself, spends all his time now flatly summing up the president's critics as being bothered by his pigment.
Things have gotten really sick.

Why should they? Their Idiot Messiah says that the white police officer is stupid and then admits that he doesn't know all the facts. That's pretty much the definition of prejudice. Why should the Newshound hold itself to a higher standard?
Eh?

Lil Barry, the president admitted that he spoke too soon.
Admitting to having misspoken IS a "higher standard".
Now, there's a real possibility that Officer Crowley has riled some Obama supporters in the media and elsewhere, who haven't even started to take him through the ringer (and they will, if they can), but let's be clear on what HAS happened.
For whatever reason, the president did admit to having misspoken.
I'm not sure if the News Hounds have ever acted similarly.

News Hounds admitting to being wrong about anything? Yeah, like that's gonna happen.
The same day that Priscilla gets over her fear of barely naked women.

True, BHO did state that he could have 'calibrated' his comments differently.
The NH's have shown time and again that they lack the decency to admit to an obvious mistake/smear and then (gasp) apologize for said error.

Those adorable puppies are at it again.
Fox News Racial Attacks On Obama - It's Not Just Glenn Beck
Reported by Ellen - July 31, 2009 - 1 comment
Once again they accuse any number of Fox people of being racist. And once again they fall short.
This is a good one....Megyn Kelly is a racist because she commented a dress Michelle Obama was wearing. Is everyone who commented on Hillary Clinton's choice of clothing a racist?
The Horrible Hends were distressed because Megyn used the words "these women". Any clear thinking individual would understand those words. Nut, nooooooo, the idiot Ellen has no clue.
Here's more.
"Obama attended a Muslim school".
Wrong but not racist.
E.D. Hill and the terrorist fist jab comment.
Over the top, yes. But not racist.
Then the Idiot Ellen says that Bill Shine appoves of racism. A flat out lie.
Shine said Fox personnel are allowed to express their opinion. Does News Hounds allow full and open expression of opinions? Noooooooo.
The Idiot Ellen has proven again her ignorance.

Once again, since this is the Ellen Lie That Will Not Die...
Megyn Kelly was describing the dresses worn at the convention. The background design behind the speakers was blue. Kelly commented that a couple of the women who spoke wore blue outfits, which tended to blend into the background. That's what she was talking about when a few minutes later she made the eevil, awful statement that blue is not a good color for these women (i.e. the ones who spoke at the podium in front of a blue background). Of course Ellen doesn't mention the context or show the video of the earlier portion of the discussion.
Ellen has been using that quote to lie about Megyn Kelly for a year now. She is the most deplorable character assassin you will ever encounter.

Ellen will lie about what Megyn was saying from now until doomsday, Johnny. That's a fact.
What's interesting about this particular canard, is what difference would it make if Megyn HAD said "these women" in that context?
There TRULY ARE hues and shades that flatter some people more than others.
I'm a "winter" and I look the color of an old bed sheet in shades that have a yellow undertone.
When it comes to peachy or tawny or dark skinned types, 'THESE WOMEN', look wonderful in warm yellowed shades.
I can certainly believe that Ellen may not be aware or not care to be aware that certain colors flatter some complexions, while others don't, but at its very essence, the context she falsely attributes to Megyn is not racist in the first darn place!

"Beck's apologia" can also be found here without having to go a Beck-hater site.

OUCH! That's gotta hurt.
