The Louisiana Democratic Party, in a rather humorous and bold press release on Tuesday, called for Senator David Vitter (R-La.) to denounce conservatives who have called his fellow Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) a prostitute for her support of health care reform. Vitter, of course, has his own sordid history with ladies of the night. So the chance to tie him to recent claims from the likes of Glenn...
On Fox News' GlennBeck , both GlennBeck and conservative author David Horowitz falsely claimed that Democrats are responsible for recent United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations that fewer women under 50 receive regular mammograms, citing them as proof that Democrats are, in Horowitz's words, "imposing a rationing system." In fact,...
Bill O'Reilly and his "Culture Warriors" recently whined about how conservative women are attacked more than liberal women. Gretchen Carlson then whined about it on Fox & Friends. But as I, and Think Progress, have noted, Fox News doesn't seem to have a problem "hammering" liberal women. And now Fox's GlennBeck has a new slam on a Democratic woman which goes beyond...
Conor Friedersdorf sizes up GlennBeck's latest scheme: Remember when GlennBeck accused President Obama of winning followers like a totalitarian demagogue, warned against the nefarious tendencies of community organizers, and was himself defended against critics by Jonah Goldberg, who...
The conservative TV and radio host wants to hold conventions to move his followers to political action and 'change America's course.' Some say his activism could widen the split within the GOP. GlennBeck wants to become . . . a community organizer.
Matt Welch eagerly awaits mea culpas (ha!) from those who blamed the suicide of Bill Sparkman on GlennBeck, Michele Bachmann, Robert Taft, and Father Coughlin. A few blogs to watch in the coming days: If conservative politicians and opinion leaders keep stoking fears about the government using census data to steal from or perhaps even round up law-abiding citizens, I am concerned that...
Beck brings the pain: .. Heh. (h/t: Newsbusters) Images, links and video do not appear in this feed. Please visit the site for the full Daily Bayonet experience
Spencer Ackerman weighs in on the story we wrote about earlier : Now, in fairness, I’m a very short Jew, so, it’s not like this thought hasn’t occurred to me either. But my friend Ari Rabin-Havt is a perfectly tall American of Jewish heritage, and the demagogic buffoon GlennBeck mispronounces Ari’s eeeeeeethnicky last name in order to make some juvenile jokes...
GlennBeck tells us the truth that the MSM hides from all of us American Citizens! He proclaims that all of us conservatives need to be The Constitution Czars, I agree! Obviously 30,000 to 35,000 people down in Florida agree too. We can change our Government back to Conservative Principals and Limited Government again but it will take all of us conservative citizens to stand up and fight...
The blog Stop Beck reports Nestle’s Nescafe Dolce Gusto will no longer run ads on GlennBeck's Fox News program. Today, Nestle confirmed that their ads will no longer appear on GlennBeck or on any Fox News show. According to the spokesperson, “airing the spot on FOX and this program was an error that has been corrected.” Beck has now lost...
Perhaps America needs to give Fox pundit GlennBeck his own day, since he seems to be hellbent on usurping days that are tied to other historical happenings. Politico's Glenn Thrush reports that "Beck’s 9.12 Project is co-sponsoring a march on Washington on Sept. 11, 2010, to voice unhappiness with the agenda of President Obama and [...]
Um...Let me guess. Nancy Franklin is somewhat less than enamored with GlennBeck. In fact, she downright hates and despises him as you can see in her New Yorker article . Ironically Franklin accuses Beck of spreading venom in her incredibly venomous story which concludes by comparing him to the character of Lonesome Rhodes in the excellent 1957 film, A Face in the Crowd . A few...
From Politico [emphasis added]: Additionally, POLITICO has learned that Beck’s 9.12 Project is co-sponsoring a march on Washington on Sept. 11, 2010 to voice unhappiness with the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic congress, and that the group will also become involved in voter registration drives. The idea of so nakedly trying to politicize the 9/11 anniversary is shocking....
A few days ago I noted how conservative bloggers were distorting material in stolen emails to support their conspiracy theory that global warming is a hoax. If there is a conspiracy theory going around in the right wing, GlennBeck is bound to pick it up. Media Matters has reported on the distortions being spread [...]
