“F—ing retarded.”  Presidential Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel scolding a liberal group at a private meeting at the White House. 

“Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.” Sarah Palin wrote while calling for Emanuel’s firing on her Facebook page 

“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards…There’s going to be a retard summit at the White House.” Rush Limbaugh on his radio show referring to Emanuel’s comments and his White House meeting with disability advocates.

“They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh.  Rush Limbaugh was using satire … I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with ‘f-ing retards,’ and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there.” Sarah Palin, defending Limbaugh on Fox News Sunday. 

Strap on your seatbelts, folks! You’re about to board the Sarah Palin Hypocrite Coaster. You must be Read more

That Rumble You Heard Was O’Reilly Turning Over In His Grave: How The Far Right Elected Al Franken

July 1, 2009 · Filed Under Bill O'Reilly, Failure, Media, Rush Limbaugh · 3 Comments 

“I don’t know if we’ve ever had an opponent who is so disliked by Republicans as Al Franken,” said Minnesota Republican Party Chair Ron Carey. “It’s one thing to lose to an honorable opponent, but Al Franken is not considered an honorable opponent by Minnesota Republicans.”

If Mr. Carey and the rest of the Republicans would like to see how they’ve come to realize their - as well as Bill O’Reilly’s worst nightmare - they need only look in the mirror.

When I sat down in 2002 to speak with Franken about how seemingly adversarial conditions played a positive part in his life for my book, “Great Failures of the Extremely Successful,” he had no idea that some of his greatest adversaries would help him to become a member of one of America’s most exclusive clubs…the U.S. Senate.

Back then I brought up the possibility of Franken going in to talk radio, but he Read more

Last Unscathed Republican Politician To Be Placed Under Protected Custody

Patrick Noony (Last Remaining Virtuous Republican)

Saying that they “weren’t taking any chances,” Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation to place Patrick Noony, a Bakersfeild, CA supervisor, in the witness protection program at an undisclosed location until late 2012.

“The scandals are killing us,” admitted Steele. “Sex, drugs, promiscuity or just plain foot in mouth disease. You’d think we’re Democrats. We’ve got to do everything possible to make sure we have someone who can run without dropping drawers and sticking his foot in his mouth. Then again, if we could get a guy who could actually get his foot into his mouth he wouldn’t be getting into real trouble.”

Republicans and conservatives like Mark Sanford, John Read more

Steve In Ink: Words Have Consequences…Depending Who You Speak To At Fox News

June 16, 2009 · Filed Under Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, Media, Rush Limbaugh · 4 Comments 

(Excerpted from my column in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer Oped Page)  The broadcast Lords of Loud on talk radio and TV have long been pressing the hateful rhetoric from the left. Bill O’Reilly is big on bemoaning the contemptible vitriol comes far more from the left, even as he incessantly repeats laudable vitriol like “baby killer” while equating legal abortions to the Holocaust prior to the Dr. George Tiller killing. And he does it with his fair and balanced reporting that he handles everything. He even brings in right wing bloggers like those from the ultra conservative Townhall.com to back him up. If Bill wanted to get an actual balance, perhaps he might want to walk down the next cubicle and check in with his Fox News colleague and anchor, Shepard Smith on his Studio B show.

While reporting on the latest hate-kill, this Read more

Keith vs Bill: No Thrilla in Cablela

April 27, 2009 · Filed Under Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, Media, Rush Limbaugh · 5 Comments 

On Bill O’Reilly’s TV Factor last Wednesday, the No-spinster kept trying to get his opponent into a clinch, interrupting nearly every sentence columnist and Fox News contributor, Ellis Henican threw that wasn’t going the way Bill wanted — which was pretty much every one of them. Body-blow, body-blow, body-blow. O’Reilly was bloodied to the point he had to be bleeped — “Torture, my ass” — though I’m not really sure why. We’re talking cable.

Bill kept hitting the canvas more than Michaelangelo.  The only thing that saved O’Reilly was the commercial bell.   Maybe that’s part of the reason he spews senselessness like spittle from stroke-ridden ex-fighter.   He’s punchdrunk.

You have to give O’Reilly credit. He regularly books Henican, as well as Temple University’s Professor Marc Hill, both of whom are lefties who consistently pummel Bill with flurries of facts and clear-thinking logic. On the other hand, and network — Countdown/MSNBC — Keith Olbermann, who although has the facts on his side, rarely (ever?) brings on anyone from the other side who disagrees with him.

At 6′4″ and both weighing in at well over 200 pounds, the heavyweights are Read more
