Fox News host Sean Hannity last night told guest, pollster Frank Luntz that Osama Bin Laden would still be alive if President Obama “had his way.” Adding that he had tape recordings to prove his false, malicious assertions.

Hannity had this conversation with “Poll Fixing Cheat” Frank Luntz:

HANNITY: I know the president will say, ‘Well, we got bin Laden.’ Putting that aside…

LUNTZ: And the public gives him credit for that.

HANNITY: They do. The public does give him credit for that. But it wouldn’t have happened if he had his way, and I think that can be proved as well on tape.

Did Sean miss the part where Obama had Navy Seals kill Bin Laden? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. [ READ MORE HERE ]

——————————————-

As Media Matters for America has demonstrated time and again, Fox News’ Sean Hannity has been a prolific and influential purveyor of conservative lies and misinformation.

In the 2008 presidential race — he was tops in lying at the Fox News Republican propaganda machine. Day after day, Hannity devoted his two Fox News shows and his three-hour ABC Radio Networks program to “demonizing” the Democratic presidential candidates, starkly explaining in August 2008: “That’s my job. .. I led the ‘Stop Hillary Express.’”

By the way, now it’s the “Stop Obama Express.”

“Hannity’s “Stop Obama Express” has promoted and embellished a vast array of misleading attacks and false claims about Obama.

Along the way, he has uncritically adopted and promoted countless Republican talking points and played host to numerous credibility-challenged smear artists who painted Obama as a dangerous radical.

When he is not going after Obama, Hannity attacks members of Obama’s family and other progressives, and denies all the while that he has unfairly attacked anyone.

Hannity has been caught numerous times doctoring videos or polls to make President Obama and the Democratic look bad.

He is a liar and smear artist of syphilitic proportions.

Meanwhile, an Arizona Republican has called for a “White Appreciation Day“: Arizona is the gift that just keeps on giving. First its immigration policy took center stage, then its governor wagged her finger in the face of the President, and now one of its lawmakers is suggesting that Arizona needs a holiday for white people.

Rep. Cecil Ash, a Republican (of course) from Mesa, spoke on the House floor about the need for a white people’s holiday.

It all started when Rep. Richard Miranda suggested that the state adopt a Latino holiday.

After some heated exchanges, Rep. Cecil Ash took the floor.

“I’m supportive of this proposition. I just want them to assure me that when we do become in the minority you’ll have a day for us,” Ash said.

When questioned about his proposition, Ash defended his statement by saying, “Yes, I think it was appropriate. It was appropriate for the mood that was in the House and I think that if and when the Caucasian population becomes a minority, they may want to celebrate the accomplishments and the contributions of the Caucasian population the same way.”

It would seem that we already have white appreciation day because, in all honesty, what day isn’t a good day to be white and appreciated?

President Obama warned the nation Tuesday that the decades-old promise of a secure and rising middle class is under threat because of growing disparities between the rich and everyone else in America.

In an election-year State of the Union message that will likely serve as the template for the months of campaigning ahead, Obama outlined a series of steps that he believes will reinforce the tentative economic recovery, including proposals to eliminate tax incentives for companies to move jobs overseas, to make college more affordable and to expand help for credit-worthy homeowners looking to refinance mortgages at historically low interest rates.

NAACP Slams Santorum for Remarks About Blacks: In response to a voters’ question, Santorum on Monday was discussing the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled when he commented, “That’s what the bottom line is. So I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money and provide for themselves and their families.”

In a statement Wednesday, the NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said, “Senator Santorum’s targeting of African Americans is inaccurate and outrageous, and lifts up old race-based stereotypes about public assistance. He conflates welfare recipients with African Americans, though federal benefits are in fact determined by income level. In Iowa for example, only nine percent of food stamp recipients are black, while eighty-four percent of recipients are white.” [ READ MORE ]

Topping the list in 2011 is Rupert Murdoch’s corrupt Fox News a.k.a “Fixed News” a.k.a “Fake News.” Fox News Channel wraps itself in slogans of journalistic objectivity like “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide,” but ample evidence conclusively indicate a race-baiting, terroristic, fraudulent right-wing tilt in the network’s ‘news.‘ Fox is NOT news, it’s a racist, bigoted and biased Republican political operation.

Next is Dr. Keith Ablow, Fox New’s favorite doc — who has been named “Misinformer Of The Year On LGBT Issues” — In 2011 Fox News’ Dr. Keith Ablow brought a toxic mix of homophobia and pseudo scientific anti-LGBT talking points to new lows. The “Fox News Medical A-Team” member has been a prolific source of anti-LGBT misinformation, disguising his animosity toward gay, lesbian and transgender people as expert commentary on human sexuality. His bigoted rants against J. Crew, Dancing with the Stars, and the Girl Scouts have earned widespread criticism and mockery, eventually causing him to resign from the American Psychiatric Association. For his consistent promotion of known falsehoods and shirking of established medical opinions on LGBT issues, Ablow has earned the title of LGBT Misinformer of the Year. [ READ MORE ]

Paul Krugman: It remains to be seen whether the Occupy Wall Street protests will change America’s direction. Yet the protests have already elicited a remarkably hysterical reaction from Wall Street, the super-rich in general, and politicians and pundits who reliably serve the interests of the wealthiest hundredth of a percent.

The way to understand all of this is to realize that it’s part of a broader syndrome, in which wealthy Americans who benefit hugely from a system rigged in their favor react with hysteria to anyone who points out just how rigged the system is.

Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, has denounced “mobs” and “the pitting of Americans against Americans.” The G.O.P. presidential candidates have weighed in, with Mitt Romney accusing the protesters of waging “class warfare,” while Herman Cain calls them “anti-American.” My favorite, however, is Senator Rand Paul, who for some reason worries that the protesters will start seizing iPads, because they believe rich people don’t deserve to have them.

So who’s really being un-American here? Not the protesters, who are simply trying to get their voices heard. No, the real extremists here are America’s oligarchs, who want to suppress any criticism of the sources of their wealth. [ READ MORE ]

1. WHY THE ELITES ARE IN TROUBLE — These protesters have not come to work within the system. They are not pleading with Congress for electoral reform. They know electoral politics is a farce and have found another way to be heard and exercise power. They have no faith, nor should they, in the political system or the two major political parties. They know the press will not amplify their voices, and so they created a press of their own. They know the economy serves the oligarchs, so they formed their own communal system. This movement is an effort to take our country back. [ READ MORE ]
