Just When You Think It Can't Get More Ridiculous ... In Comes Greg Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld at his dubious best.

Greg Gutfeld, one of the Fox News right-wing talking heads, is leading the cries of the Fox News whiners over President Obama's comments about them in a Rolling Stone article.

The funny part is that Fox News is whining about President Obama talking about him all while calling the president "thin skinned." It's the height of hypocrisy (although Fox News takes us to new heights of absurdity and hypocrisy almost every night and, for that matter, throughout the day).

Here is a sample of what Big Hollywood resident genius (as Jon Stewart would say, being a genius on Big Hollywood is like "being the thinnest kid at fat camp") Greg Gutfeld had to say:

Okay. So, you’re the President of the United States, with both Houses under your control. You also have the most fawning press of any president in the history of the universe. And yet you let FNC get under your skin, because it’s the only network that doesn’t have a thrill up its leg?

Obama is like a sports team who owns the ref, the fans and the field- but refuses to play until the kid in the tenth row stops chewing gum.

So let’s indulge Obama’s fantasy: and imagine if FNC didn’t exist. Yeah, it’s the good old days, when the only media was a liberal one.

Well, Obama would still be in trouble. See, it wasn’t Fox who started the tea parties. It was Rick Santelli – and then America ran with it.

In fact, it would be far worse for Obama if there was no Fox, because then he’d only have the American people to bash. There is no Republican adversary, and without FNC – who’s left? You.

And this is why the Whiner-in-Chief needs us. It provides cover, so Obama can criticize Americans without ever saying “America.” He can just say Fox News instead.

I don’t mind. We’re happy to help.

And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist, homophobic, taurophobe.

The analogy to sports and refs was beyond stupid.

No, Greg, if we disagree with you we're probably sane and we're not down on our knees in front of Fox News and tea baggers (if there is any difference). So, stand up, Greg, brush off your knees and join us in society.

Also, it seems like the president is getting under the skin of the right wingers at Fox News who don't even pretend to be objective anymore. Fox has gone all in on the far right.

It's Red Eye because it bores us to tears.

Divisive Conservative Tries To Drive Wedge Between People, Attacks President As 'Obama Hussein'

Once in a while I read an article, column or whatever, and am left to shake my head in disappointment at the kinds of thoughts that swim through the heads of my fellow citizens.

This all brings me to a rather hateful piece written by a woman named Lisa Carter. Now, for the record, I do not necessarily have a problem with black conservatives or conservatives in general. Once upon a time, I was a conservative.

But, articles like the one (a rather brief one) I am going to fully quote make me question why more people do not stand up to this kind of divisive us-against-them talk.

Here is the first part I am going to excerpt:

It's disappointing enough that our elected officials in Los Angeles are putting the rights of criminal illegal aliens ahead of true American citizens. However, when the federal government decides to sue the state of Arizona for trying to protect itself from criminal illegal aliens from Mexico, something has gone wrong.

According to the Los Angeles Times (not always a reliable source), the Obama Hussein administration is expected to file a lawsuit aimed at blocking the state's bid to curb illegal immigration on its own, according to people familiar with the administration's plans.

"Obama Hussein" shows how much of a hater this woman is and it also shows as much right off the bat. So, relatively early in her piece, she panders to the bigotry that exists in too many people on the far right who hate President Obama and have tried to use his name and the fact that his father was an African against him.

Here is the second part:

To uneducated illegal Mexicans who rape American culture, values, education, and finances, this is good news. To hard-working legal citizens, many who are of Mexican descent, this is an act of treason. 2012 can't come fast enough!

She resorts to bigoted, immature and dangerous stereotypes of Mexicans to make her face. She then sort of suggests that they are not hard working by putting emphasis on people legally in the country she describes as "hard-working legal citizens." To try and deflect from her obvious bigotry, she weakly slips in a part about the "legal" Mexicans (FAIL).

This was a disturbing piece to read and I hope it is not indicative of who she is as a person.
