Fox News guest: Scientific ‘enlightenment and reason’ led to the Holocaust
A Fox News guest on Thursday slammed President Barack Obama’s transportation secretary nominee, connecting him to an 18th century scientific movement that embraced reason, which she said was partially to blame for the Holocaust.
Fox News host Steve Doocy asked Penny Nance, CEO of the Christian activist group Concerned Women for America, if she could make any sense out of why Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx would proclaim May 2 as both a “Day of Prayer” and a “Day of Reason.”
“He comes from North Carolina, which has the 7th highest church attendance, clearly he’s not running for re-election since he’s up for transportation secretary,” she opined. “You know, G. K. Chesterton said that the Doctrine of Original Sin is the only one which we have 3,000 years of empirical evidence to back up. Clearly, we need faith as a component and it’s just silly for us to say otherwise.”
“You know, the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust… Dark periods of history is what we arrive at when we leave God out of the equation.”
It wasn’t blind nationalism, or racism, or hero worship or political fear-mongering or religious superiority that led to the Holocaust… Nooooo.. It was Reason. You see, all those Nazis were just too darn reasonable.

Fox News Viewers think that Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity Are Helping Obama cover up the truth about Benghazi
(readingisforsnobs.com) - Hannity made a tweet bashing Obama for his supposed hypocrisy on taxes, and was no doubt expecting a flood of agreement from his followers. It didn’t exactly work out that way.
Yes, instead of getting behind him, his followers turned their ire to Hannity himselffor supposedly (I swear, you can’t make this shit up) protecting the evil, socialist, Kenyan muslim by not reporting on Benghazi enough.
Let that sink in for a moment. Sean Hannity, no seriously, SEAN FUCKING HANNITY, for reasons that have yet to be clarified, is doing his best to somehow helpBarack Hussein Bin Laden Obama! We’re so far down the rabbit hole at this point that we’ve already passed China.
This wasn’t limited to just Hannity either. His own colleague, Bill “Papa Bear” O’Reilly, also wasn’t able to escape the wrath of these, for lack of a better term, “people”.Fox News created their own monster, and now that monster is attacking its creator!

Fox's Megyn Kelly wants to know why gay activists are so intolerant, so she asks an expert, the head of the anti-gay hate group the Family Research Council
Seems fair and balanced to me.
Hmmmm … I wonder why gay activists are intolerant of people who want to deny rights to them.
I swear Fox News is bizzaro land.

How Ben Carson Got Burned By The Fox News Flame
(Media Matters) - When political novices fly too close to the Fox News flame, they risk getting burned. Just ask Dr. Ben Carson.
After profiting from a Fox News public relations blitz for much of the past two months, during which he logged at least twenty appearances on the network, the famous neurosurgeon, who has been toasted inside right-wing circles as a possible GOP savior, has suddenly been forced to defend his “trainwreck” interview where helikened marriage equality supporters to people advocating pedophilia and bestiality.
[…]
not only did Carson badly stumble with his shocking comments about marriage equality, but as we’ve seen from this predictable model, he’s also been turned into a professional victim by the right-wing media, whose practitioners like nothing better than ignoring substantive debates in order to complain about alleged biases in the press coverage. (All the while being careful not to actually repeat or explain what Carson’s scandalous remarks were, of course.)
Cue Rush Limbaugh:
-“We are in the midst of mob rule now. In this case led by the trolls at Media Matters and aided and abetted by the so-called mainstream media.”
-“Amidst all this talk of equality, Ben Carson is not allowed to voice his opinion.”
And from excitable Breitbart editor John Nolte:
Any one notice a pattern here? I’ll give you a hint, when is the only time the right-wing talking heads seem to care about racism or sexism?
I also love how these guys like to act like they are being victimized whenever there’s backlash against something hateful or bigoted they’ve said.
No one stopped him from voicing his opinion, he voiced it, and a lot of people thought it was a shitty opinion. That’s the way the grown up world works.

High ResolutionFox News uses these two graphics to suggest that the media is getting it wrong on global warming. One problem: they’re not measuring the same thing.
The map on the right is the absolute minimum temperature from March 20, 2013. The map on the left is measuring which temperatures were above average or below average in that month and is NOT a temperature chart.
If the map on the left was measuring temperature, the average temperature in Minnesota in March of 2012 would have been over 100 degrees.

High ResolutionMike Huckabee: Newtown Shooting No Surprise, We’ve ‘Systematically Removed God’ From Schools
“We don’t have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem,” Huckabee said on Fox News. “And since we’ve ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn’t act so surprised … when all hell breaks loose.”______________________
Conservative America totally ignoring reality in favor of imaginary solutions. It’s kind of their thing.
