[farchivist]

While you were busy mourning Neil Armstrong, Fox News analyst Monica Crowley was looking for a way to politicize his death. She found it in one of the far right's most insidious tropes - Islamophobia.

I am honestly rather astounded at how hard she had to twist and stretch to relate that to Neil Armstrong's death.

Came here to say the same. That's some serious semantic gymnastics.

As we remember Neil Armstrong, let's not forget that conservatives would like to defund NASA and put that money into stealth bombers.

And they're even cutting back on their support for private space exploration/exploitation: SpaceX: Solyndra In Space. I consider this to be a distinct continuation of the whole "Space is a boondoggle because Jesus says End Times soon." meme that is prominent amongst SoCons.

I do love Twitter now, though. It lets me rag on these shitheads in real time, in a place they, and everyone following, will read it.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all week.

Now there's a depressing thought. D:

The RNC hasn't even started yet!

This might be the smartest thing said all week by Fox News

I already know what the answer to this question is but I'll ask it anyway:

Have Fox News no shame?

Have Fox News no shame?

Nope.

They outed the guy who lead the team that killed Osama bin Laden, no matter the potentially serious and fatal repercussions it could have for him and his family.

Why is this even a question?

[metatrix]

are there going to be any legal repercussions for that, btw?
