Even on Christmas, in the middle of celebrating Jesus and Christianity, Fox News made time for swatting at those with a different perspective. In a segment about a “singing Christmas tree” at a church in Memphis, Fox host Ainsley Earhardt introduced what was supposed to be a feel good piece with a sneering, “While some people are busy trying to erase Christmas from our culture, one church in the south is keeping Christmas alive.” Well, maybe that's what makes Fox News Christians feel good.

Despite the swipe, the piece was really a PR hype about the church’s Christmas production. Fox’s Christian crusader, Todd Starnes narrated the report. He noted that this is “not your old school church production” and that the only “major difference” between this and a “major Broadway show” is the religion. We saw b-roll footage of (presumably) parishioners praying and he concluded the segment with blatant evangelizing from the church’s pastor: “It really is about telling people the good news of Jesus Christ and that they would be different… if they remember the name of Jesus Christ and accept him into their life and let him change their life, families will be different, lives will be different. And that’s our real hope.”

Apparently, that’s the hope of Fox News, too.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or whatever, everybody!

Fox News’s Todd Starnes is sick and tired of ‘South Park’ and Hollywood getting a free pass. The Fox News commentator participated in the Values Voter Summit panel on “Religious Hostility in America” over the weekend.

We have the seen the administration come out and say, "we condemn anyone who denigrates religious faith." And they come out in regards to this anti-Muslim film.

 

Well, that's well and good, but my question is, when has the administration condemned the anti-Christian films that are coming out of Hollywood? Where are the federal investigations into shows like ‘South Park,’ which has denigrated all faiths?

 

Where is the outrage when people of the Christian faith are subjected to this humiliation that is coming out of Hollywood?

As soon as I heard that Obama was moving his convention speech indoors tonight, I wrote, "Cue the 'God's punishing Obama and the Democrats' posts in 5...4...because they're coming."

And lo and behold -- Todd Starnes of FOX News Radio didn't disappoint!

But what's awesome about this SRWT is he throws in some religious bigotry for good measure, implying that Obama's not a Christian, probably a Muslim -- and we all know that their "god" (note the lower case 'g') is puny, amirite?

Wingnuts are so damn predictable.
