Chris Matthews to Obama: 'Everyone Knows' Republicans Want to Stop Min

 Chris Matthews received his long-desired wish on Thursday, an exclusive interview with Barack Obama.

Ed Schultz Speaks for God: Obamacare Is Divinely Approved

Most people don’t know this, but beyond being a professional gasbag, MSNBC host Ed Schultz is also a prophet in direct communication with God. He let the world know this on his program last night when he pronounced that President Obama’s very unpopular health care law is something that all Christians should support because, in actual truth, God approves of Obamacare. “I’ll tell you what I…

Networks Skip Special Treatment for Obama's Illegal Uncle, But Univisi

  All three broadcast networks have, thus far, ignored the special treatment given to Onyango Obama, Barack Obama's illegal uncle who was arrested in 2011 on drunk driving. In contrast, however, the Spanish language channel Univision on Wednesday covered the story with a skeptical take about possible "favoritism." Onyango Obama will be allowed to stay in the country after a Boston judge…

CNN Asks Eric Cantor 'Do You Not Know How to Talk to Women, Sir

Touting the "huge problem" the GOP has with women voters, CNN dredged up Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" remark from last year and asked House Majority Leader Eric Cantor point-blank "Do you not know how to talk to women, sir?" The obnoxious question came from Capitol Hill correspondent Dana Bash, who challenged Cantor's point that GOP policies will appeal to both men and women. "But…

NYT’s Keller: Catholic Celibacy Led to Pedophilia

Bill Keller hates religion. The former New York Times Editor and current op-ed columnist never misses a chance to sneer at the benighted rubes in the pews. Especially the Catholic ones.    On Dec. 1 he was at it again, claiming celibacy leads to pedophilia. “Celibacy — by breeding a culture of sexual exceptionalism and denial — surely played some role in the church’s shameful record of…
