RUN DNC ... This Hit Me After President Clinton's Speech At The Convention

This caught my attention today while I was on Facebook.

Ann Coulter And Credibility Are Enemies, But This Seals The Deal

Right wing extremist Ann Coulter, who like so many others of her kind finds a home on Fox News, attempted to come to the rescue of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. In her botched rescue event, however, Coulter ended up looking like even more of a nut when she attempted to push her foolish point that Palin (a two-term governor who quit on her beloved state to sell books, make money and work on Fox News) is 20 million times more qualified than Vice President Joe Biden, a long-time former U.S. senator.

COULTER: How about comparing Joe Biden with Sarah Palin? She’s twenty million times more qualified than he is.

GERALDO RIVERA: How do you say that? A two-year governor against a long Senate career. Anyway –

COULTER: How long are we gonna pretend Biden is not just some drunken Irishman embarrassing Obama?

There’s all the evidence you need of how much of an irrational nut Ann Coulter is and how she seems to fit in so nicely at Fox News.

Then, in the end, she shows how much of a hater she is with a vicious stereotype used to attack Vice President Biden.

Another quality Fox News personality.

The Weekly Standard (More like The Weakly Standard) Writer Smears President Obama

Here is another interesting attack from The WeaklyWeekly Standard in a blog posted by Michael Goldfarb (whining about Sonia Sotomayor being nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court):

… on the issue of diversity, Obama seems to have the views of a 21-year-old Hispanic girl — that is, only by having a black president, an Hispanic justice, a female secretary of State, and Bozo the Clown as vice president will the United States become a true “vanguard of societal ideas and changes.”

Maybe if President Obama simply would hire or nominate all white guys then Republicans would be happy? Then again, the one white guy mentioned here is Vice President Joe Biden who the writer refers to as “Bozo the Clown.”

I guess you have to be white and conservative.

Fox’s Chris Wallace Shows A Lack Of Professionalism And, Perhaps, Objectivity

I’ve never been too impressed with Fox’s Chris Wallace, but mainly because I believe he is a right-wing partisan who masquerades as a straight-down-the-middle journalist. Now, Vice President Joe Biden has been known to make some regrettable statements, and he made one recently with precautions he advocated for this swine flu deal. Personally, I think Biden and a lot of other people are panicking way too much about swine flu, but Wallace was way out of line. Wallace clearly stepped over the line of professionalism when he made this comment in reference to Vice President Biden on Fox News Sunday (as captured by Crooks and Liars).

WALLACE: I have to tell you, some people have said to me since Vice President talked. Maybe you guys are telling the public one thing, but at the highest levels of government you’ve heard something else, no - you’re saying to me that everything the Vice President Biden said, I’m not talking to the travel to Mexico. Being in a confined space, being in a classroom. Being in a school. Being in a subway, no health danger to any of that?
SEBELIUS: Again, with, we’re letting the science lead this investigation and trying to be prudent…
Soon thereafter, he took this unprofessional shot at the vice president of the United States of America:
WALLACE: So why would the Vice President tell his family that? Are we to believe that the Vice President of the United States is a crackpot?

If Biden feels like that is the measure he wants to take to keep his family safe then that is his business. Wallace could have asked: Do you think the vice president may be getting a little carried away here? No, he went to the nuclear option (I believe for political reasons) and used the term “crackpot.” But, there is a bigger point here. The Comments from Wallace are an example of how so many individuals on Fox destroy the reputations of true journalists who strive to objectively bring the facts to people. This was a calculated and partisan cheap shot. It also spits in the face of nonpartisan moderators who want to facilitate discussion among their guests without inserting their own opinion (or worse) making nasty comments about the vice president of the Untied States of America. This is part of the reason Fox appeals so much to the far-right nuts - cheap shots at Democrats like the one Chris Wallace took. Wallace, in this instance, was a disgrace to the airwaves.
