Hat Tip to Fox News

I don’t think any of our readers would disagree that Fox News seldom merits praise. It follows, then, that in instances where we find Fox News doing something right, we should be sure to point it out. If not for fairness, then at least to piss them off. I can’t imagine praise from the notorious “liberal blogosphere” makes them very happy. Indeed, it is probably a signal that they’ve done something wrong. In any case, we have Fox to thank for these wise words:

Based on the crowd reaction to recent attacks from Barack Obama and Joe Biden about John McCain’s tax policy, the Republican nominee may have something to worry about. [...]

The crowds roar with approval when Obama and Biden describe their plans for a middle class tax cut and boo loudly at statistics showing how McCain’s continuation of the Bush tax cuts favor the wealthy. Of course, these are partisan Obama crowds. But it would be unwise for anyone seriously backing McCain to dismiss their full-throated roars for Obama-Biden on an issue that historically has favored the GOP nominee. [...]

Add to this the mounting evidence that McCain’s TV commercials assailing Obama’s tax policy contain serious distortions, if not out-right lies.

Gay Converting

Glad to see the brainiacs at Palin’s church are at the cutting edge of, to use the technical term, “praying the gay away.”

Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

“You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,” according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

Palin’s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain’s candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

With each subsequent tidbit of information that I learn about Mrs. Palin, I become less and less inclinced to post about it- one doesn’t want to beat a dead horse. But the range of stupidity! The depth of hypocrisy! I can’t get enough! Anyway, it has only been the true variety of what should be embarrassing facts about Palin that has allowed me to satisfy my own increasing standard.
