Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is denying that he ever said he didn’t want to give welfare to “black people.” In fact, he says he doesn’t even use the term “black.” Earlier this week, the former Pennsylvania senator was caught on video telling a crowd in Iowa that he didn’t…
Somehow in the mind of Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, the United States military is not controlled by its government. In a discussion on government involvement on health care Tuesday evening, The O’Reilly Factor suddenly had an interesting and peculiar back and forth with Alan Colmes on the government’s overall effectiveness.…
Branden Lane, an activist with Wisconsin Jobs Now and Take Back The Capitol, on Thursday described his brief confrontation with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. Lane spotted O’Reilly on Wednesday coming out of a D.C. hotel where Newt Gingrich was holding a fundraiser. He walked up to O’Reilly, holding his…
I don't say that lightly; there are many dumbasses in the world. But this clip really puts O'Reilly over the top. He makes, in quick order, three mind-boggling claims: 1) That the Institute of Medicine recommended that the HHS use tax dollars to pay for every woman's birth control. 2)…

McCain people: I’m going to advise your campaign this one time only. Have John McCain learn how many homes he/his wife/his vault of goblins owns, and stick with that number. Have him learn how many cars he owns, what’s in his bank account, what other assets his family has. Don’t…
You know what’s less funny than this? Live streaming footage of murder. You know what’s more funny than this? Everything else. My favorite part is the part where Bill O’Reilly follows fake Michael Moore (played by fake Chris Farley) into the bathroom and then smacks him like a bad little…
