"I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no"

Morris answered, “We’re going to see that it’s because we’ve tied the hands of the intelligence community, that they’re so worried about stripping somebody of his civil rights, or being accused of falsely accusing somebody and being racially insensitive...”

Hannity deliberately moved to focus Morris against Obama. “So you’re saying political correctness could have kept colleagues and our own government (my emphasis) from stopping somebody that they knew was dangerous…”

Morris took the bait. “Precisely. And I also think that the hoops that Obama has been jumping through to avoid you calling this terrorism…. It makes it the first domestic attack on American soil since 9/11.”

Hannity, feigning frustration but obviously satisfied, asked, “Why won’t anybody say what you just said and I’ve said?”

Morris really got with the program now. “This is the first attack since 9/11 and it’s the consequence of the unilateral disarmament that Barack Obama has brought to the intelligence community… He’s done everything he can to put out (Hasan’s) psychological history, his grumbling… all that so he doesn’t have to answer for a terrorist attack.”

Hannity repeated the maneuver during the “Great American Panel” segment when he accused, “There is a chance our government knew all about this guy Hasan because nobody wanted to be called an ‘Islamophobe.’… Our government apparently knew and did nothing… What does that say about our government and Barack Obama?”

Similarly, as Michelle Malkin frothed at the mouth over political correctness being to blame for the shootings, Eric Bolling, substituting for Glenn Beck, did not challenge any of her assertions, did not even suggest that they might be premature given that the investigation is still so incomplete. In fact, he stated that with 13 people dead, that meant terrorism to him. Bolling later made a deliberate effort to make sure Malkin included Obama in her rant. Bolling said, “The President, the day it happened last Thursday… some people are upset with him… Is he doing enough?” Sure enough, Malkin took the hint and wasted no time launching a slew of self-righteousness superciliousness, combined with anti-Muslim hostility, aimed at Obama for his “Pre-9/11 attitude of putting diversity uber alles.” Bolling sounded very pleased as he closed the interview.

The "cover up" story was also featured on Special Report (video below).

About a week ago, as I previously posted, TMZ reported that Prejean immediately walked away from her demands for more than a million dollars from the Miss California USA Pageant once she saw "an XXX home video of her handiwork." TMZ said it had obtained the video months before but had decided not to post it due to its extremely graphic nature. "Let's just say, Carrie has a promising solo career," the site quipped.

Inconveniently for Prejean, this revelation came about just as she published a new book which touts her as “a strong woman of admirable religious, political, and moral substance.” Hannity announced that he was proud to have written the foreword.

“We might as well go right to it,” Hannity said at the beginning of his interview with Prejean. “TMZ, the website, has up there that they have obtained a… Carrie Prejean sex tape. What’s going on?”

Prejean repeatedly suggested that it wasn't really a sex tape because she was alone. "Well, they can call it whatever they want to call it,” Prejean said. “But, it was the biggest mistake of my life. I was all by myself. I was sending a boyfriend at the time, who I loved and cared about… video of me and… I was a teenager at the time… It was bad judgment… It’s embarrassing and it’s humiliating to be talking about this now on national TV.”

Wait a minute, wasn’t it immoral? Isn’t this exactly the kind of behavior Family Values Folk rail against? Maybe not.

Prejean admitted that it bothered her, though she didn’t say why. “But you know what? You just take responsibility for it and I am. I’m taking total responsibility for it.” Well, I guess that’s better than the way she tried to shirk responsibility for the topless photos. But having said that, Prejean began to sound like she was justifying her behavior. “I was, you know, alone, sending it to my boyfriend who I cared about and loved about (sic) at the time. When you’re young, you think… this is the one and… never did I think it would come and slap me right in the face.” Hmm, I’m not hearing a lot of remorse for that lewd behavior from a youngster.

“This is not a sex tape,” Hannity said. “When we hear the word ‘sex tape,’ this is not anything like some of the ones we’ve heard about… You were sending video of yourself to your boyfriend.” Yeah, triple x video that TMZ found too graphic to publish.

“I was all by myself and… no one was in the room with me… I was not having sex with anybody… Call it whatever you want to call it,” Ms. "I take full responsibility" said.

I think we get the picture.

“It’s a pretty big betrayal,” Hannity said, referring to the boyfriend who sold the video, rather than Prejean’s very un-Values-Voters-like behavior.

“I’ve learned a lot,” Prejean said, not about her behavior but “about people and just what they’ll do to make some extra money.”

Prejean reiterated that it was “the worst mistake of my life." Then she added that she’s “ready to just move forward.”

That’s one statement from her I don’t doubt.

O’Reilly's opening salvo was to gripe about the Governor of Kentucky proclaiming that the State Christmas tree had “morphed into the holiday tree.” “We were hoping this stuff wouldn’t happen this year but it has,” O’Reilly said. Oh, come on. It has become a tradition at Fox. It’s their special version of mistletoe – viewers can rev up their hatred for liberals every time they hear the word “holiday.”

Carlson, on the other hand, was overtly happy as a clam, or maybe that should be a lump of coal, to see the war begin. And she was already counting her first victory. She told O’Reilly, “Apparently calls like yours… changed (the governor's) mind."

Carlson continued by equating Christmas culture warriors with Tea Partiers: “I think that this is emblematic of what was going on this summer at the tea parties. I think that now Americans have the fight within them and they’re gonna stand up and they’re gonna be heard… I think it’s a new wave of democracy happening right before us.”

Hoover, however, was not joining the war party. Proclaiming herself a federalist, she said, “Leave it to the states… The bottom line, America is a pluralistic country We are multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-theistic. In order to all live together and get along, we’ve got to just get along.”

What a Scrooge!

Nearly every paper in America has lost circulation, but The Post more than most — down almost 30 percent in 2.5 years, to 508,000 in the most recent reporting period, against 544,000 for The Daily News. The slide accelerated after The Post’s price returned to 50 cents last year. And this year, The Daily News has surged far ahead in online readership."

Commenting on the April 16, 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, Fox News contributor Mark Steyn wrote a piece for the National Review Online which decried the passivity of the students in the face of an armed gunman. Steyn, whose survival of a rough and tumble deployment at King Edward's School in the United Kingdom, before dropping out, has qualified him to comment on facing down armed adversaries, mocked the Virginia Tech victims by saying, “They’re not 'children.' The students at Virginia Tech were grown women and — if you’ll forgive the expression — men.”

As documented by News Hound Marie Therese, Steyn also appeared on Neil Cavuto’s show to amplify his remarks, saying, “When one man is able to kill dozens of people in the same location over a period of several hours, that reflects a systemic failure. So we need to understand what caused that failure. And I think part of the problem is a general culture of passivity, which Virginia Tech exemplifies”

As Ellen noted, Fox News affirmed Steyn’s departure from common decency by rewarding him with a guest-host spot on Hannity & Colmes.

Another Fox News contributor, Michele Malkin, joined the Right Wing Chorus:

“There's no polite way or time to say it: American colleges and universities have become coddle industries... Instead of teaching students to defend their beliefs, American educators shield them from vigorous intellectual debate. Instead of encouraging autonomy, our higher institutions of learning stoke passivity and conflict-avoidance. And as the erosion of intellectual self-defense goes, so goes the erosion of physical self-defense.”

"How the hell do 25 students allow themselves to be lined up against the wall in a classroom and picked off one by one? How does that happen, when they could have rushed the gunman, the shooter, and most of them would have survived?"

So now we've had a situation at Fort Hood where a “murderous misfit loner” attacked hundreds of unarmed American soldiers. Thirteen people were killed, 29 were wounded, and the shooting didn’t stop until an armed civilian police officer, Sergeant Kimberly Munley, shot the assailant.

Can we expect Steyn to appear with Cavuto to say of the soldiers, “They’re not “children,” and to decry “this awful corrosive passivity?”

Should we expect Malkin to write about the military “coddle industries” and “the erosion of physical self-defense?”

Or do the Fox faves reserve this kind of crass vitriolic abuse for America’s students and its colleges and universities?

Wallace asked Lieberman, “In your briefing… have you learned any more about Major Hasan’s motives, his actions and whether or not he had any links to Islamic radicals overseas?” Wallace never mentioned that, as the New York Times reported, investigators "have come to believe that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused in the shootings, acted out under a welter of (my emphasis) emotional, ideological and religious pressures, according to interviews with federal officials who have been briefed on the inquiry." Presumably, Lieberman's position on the Homeland Security Committee would put him in a position to have received the same briefing(s).

Lieberman said, “It’s too early. It’s premature to reach conclusions about what motivated Hasan.” But then Lieberman demonstrated he had already reached such conclusions. “It’s clear he (Hasan) was 1) under personal stress and 2) if the reports that we’re receiving of various statements he made, of acts he took, are valid, he had turned to Islamist extremism. And therefore, if that is true, the murder of these 13 people, was a terrorist act.”

Well, not necessarily, say experts in the field. Foxnews.com reported that Carl Tobias, a professor of law at University of Richmond who analyzes terrorist investigations across the country, said, "Terrorist attacks are undertaken by people who typically ... have some agenda they want to forward politically, and from what I see in the news, this is just a person acting individually because he doesn't want to deploy overseas… So I just don't see that angle." Furthermore, while the Times stressed that investigators have not yet ruled out the possibility that Hassan “believed he was carrying out an extremist’s suicide mission,” they also reported, “investigators have unearthed no evidence that he was directed or steered into violence or ever traveled overseas to meet with extremist groups.”

If, as Lieberman suggested, extremist statements that go along with acts of violence are proof of terrorism, then you’d have to call the recent murders allegedly committed by anti-Semitic James Von Brunn (charged with shooting and killing a Holocaust Museum guard last June) and anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder (charged with assassinating Dr. George Tiller) terrorism, too. But I could find no statements from Lieberman indicating he thought that those June and late May (respectively), 2009 killings may have been acts of terrorism.

Nevertheless, without indicating he had any evidence investigators did not, Lieberman was willing to light a potentially destructive flame of anti-Muslim bigotry as he baselessly linked Fort Hood to September 11th. Echoing the words of Fox News’ extremist military analyst, Ralph Peters, Friday night (11/6/09), Lieberman called the Fort Hood killings, “the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11.”

Then, after being so deliberately inflammatory, Lieberman tried to hedge. “I want to say very quickly, we don’t know enough to say now, but there are very, very strong warning signs here that Dr. Hasan had become an Islamist extremist and therefore, that this was a terrorist act.”

Of course, Lieberman could be right that this was a terrorist act. And as Chairman of the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee, he’s indisputably right to consider those possibilities. But it strikes me as more than a little irresponsible to go on national television making such accusations before an investigation has been concluded or that the one he later stated he'd commence had even begun.

Also, why did Lieberman not mention concern about other kinds of racist extremism in the military? In late November, 2008, The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates about its concerns about racial and ethnic extremism in the military. The Department of Homeland Security (you know, the department Lieberman oversees) has also warned of the resurgence of right-wing “radicalization and recruitment.” Given that Maj. Hasan had been known to complain of anti-Muslim discrimination against him, Lieberman should have at least brought this up as a possibly related issue that should be investigated.

And if Lieberman didn’t mention it, certainly “fair and balanced” Chris Wallace should have. Instead, Wallace coyly acted to underscore the “radical Islamic” meme by asking, “Any evidence so far that what you or your staff have heard in briefings that (Hasan) – because we know he was on some radical Islamic websites – that he was exchanging communications either in this country or overseas with other Islamic radicals?” It was a nice way for Wallace to make sure his viewers got it that Hasan was engaged with “radical Islamic websites” without actually having to mention that there’s no hard evidence that Hasan really engaged in any terrorist activity.

Lieberman admitted, “Nothing I can confirm at this point.” He added that he thought it “very important to let the Army and the FBI go forward with this investigation before we reach any conclusions.” Lieberman must have meant before we reach any conclusions other than that Hasan was an Islamic terrorist. Because in his next breath, Lieberman added, “We do know on the record from third parties reporting over the last two or three years that (Hasan) made a series of statements justifying suicide bombing… He shouted out, according to bystanders – while killing the other day at Fort Hood – the words “Allahu Akbar,” an expression of faith in Islam, which the Islamic extremists have corrupted and the fact that he did that at the moment of these murders, if that’s confirmed, of course raises genuine concerns that this was a genuine terrorist attack.” First of all, the phrase, akin to “Hallelujah” has lots of uses and contexts beyond terrorism (including the Muslim call to prayer) and even if Hasan said it while in the act of murder, that is not necessarily evidence of Islamic terrorism.

But once again, Wallace had did not question Lieberman's anti-Islamic assumptions.

So Lieberman went even further, this time raising fears of other Muslim attacks on military bases and baselessly linking them to Hasan. “This is not the first attempt by Islamic extremists to strike at American military bases. We’ve broken up plots to go after Fort Dix, Quantico Marine Base in Virginia… "

Wallace went through the motions of challenging Lieberman at that point. Wallace asked, “I know hindsight is 20/20 but were there enough signs, enough red flags that authorities should have stepped in?” But as if in answer to the question, Fox News producers at that very moment, posted a series of statements about Hasan on the screen that were obviously to be construed as “red flags:” “Internet postings praising suicide bombers; war on terror is ‘War on Muslims;’ Fighting Afghanistan Deployment.”

“That’s a very good question,” Lieberman said. He added that both the Army and the Department of Defense have an obligation to also investigate whether warning signs had been missed, not just about the stress Hasan was under “but also the statements that he was making which really could lead people to believe that Dr. Hasan had become an Islamist extremist.” Lieberman went on to add that the “new face” of terrorism would be “home-grown” terrorists “going to jihadist websites”

Some weird mojo happened on the Long March to Friday on the Glenn Beck Pogrom this week. He was attacked by his own appendix and he didn’t make it.

Ironically, on Wednesday, just as the Right Wing backlash to that silly piece of innertube juvenility was picking up speed, Glenn Beck began to feel ill while doing his version of Radio Drama Theatre. During a commercial break he begged off,and high-tailed his chubby ass off to “an undisclosed hospital,” where he had an emergency appendectomy.

When you’re the boy that cried “Frog,” isn’t it just a little embarrassing that “some people say” (me and the guys on the patio at the local coffee joint so far) that we want to see the admittance records before we’ll believe it? Why won’t Blenn Gecko release his hospital records? Aunty Em is just asking the tough questions that no one else will. I’ll get a Red Phone if necessary.

[Getting serious: I hereby predict that he WILL release those records eventually to rail against Health Care and waste. It’s a no-brainer and, well, so is he.]

Having to hot foot it to the hospital meant that all Becky promised on Monday to have revealed by Friday went unfulfilled. Since that’s often the case, his appendix only continued the pattern we’ve witnessed before.

But let’s back up. Monday had the Becketeer in full thin-skinned rebuttal to a column last weekend by Frank Rick of the New York Times. Titled “The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York,” Rich made the mistake of referencing Everybody’s Favourite Tee Vee Funhouse Host™:

The battle for upstate New York confirms just how swiftly the right has devolved into a wacky, paranoid cult that is as eager to eat its own as it is to destroy Obama. The movement’s undisputed leaders, Palin and Beck, neither of whom has what Palin once called the “actual responsibilities” of public office, would gladly see the Republican Party die on the cross of right-wing ideological purity. Over the short term, at least, their wish could come true.

Nefarious Mojo was at work quietly on Tuesday. While his appendix soured away inside him on Tuesday, The Beckamaniac went after some of his favourite targets: ACORN, Andy Stern, and the SEIU.

Less than 24 hours later Beck found himself hooked up to IVs and attended by nurses who belong to New York's Local 1199, United Healthcare Workers East, a guild that falls under the Service Employees International Union, more commonly known as the SEIU. Now THAT’S karma. And pretty funny.

One presumes Beckteria got the best care possible at this undisclosed hospital. Not because he can afford the best Health Care his money can buy. No, he’ll get the best care because everyone knows about the professionalism and dedication of nurses. Go into any hospital or doctor’s office and you’ll find that nurses generally run things, quietly behind the scenes, to keep the system ticking over with a maximum of efficiency.

I thought it probable that even the myopic Beckster would be able to see this. However, by Thursday he was already tweeting, in 140 characters or less, jokes at other’s expense:

Nvr a gdnight sleep in the hospital but always easier w/family, prayers and AMAZING drs/nurses. They didn't even cut off my feet!! 6:15 AM Nov 5th from Echofon

I just realized my tonsils are missing. Man, I wish I were as rich as M. Moore i could've had some of that sweet Castro Care he loves. 6:49 AM Nov 5th from Echofon

Isn’t that a scream? No? Then blame it on the drugs he’s taking.

If the nurses are smart they’ll wear their union identification prominently while attending to his every Beck and call.

One, and by that I mean me, is nostalgic for those earlier times when people didn’t tweet their hospital thoughts. It was only a few short years ago that if you were an asshole and had an operation on your asshole you went on YouTube and talked about it. I’m still hoping we’ll get video from Beck’s bedside at the hospital, but we may have to wait for his return to see it. I, for one, can’t wait. Judge Napolitano simply doesn’t do it for me.

Since the week was truncated, and I tuned out The Judge, it’s hard to know what conspiracies were not uncovered and exposed. Without Glenn Beck to “connect the dots,” the vast population of the United States has been wandering aimlessly, unable to recognize the traitors, Communists, Marxists, Maoists, Socialists and scallywags that have taken over the White House. You can see the blank look in their eyes.

However, a truncated week doesn’t mean I have I don’t have something to write about. These days Beck is ubiquitous. If he’s not popping up on one Faux Noise program or another, than he’s the subject of an Op Ed piece in a local newspaper, or even on some obscure Letters to the Editors page. It’s hard to escape him.

Recently one of the boys on the patio at the local coffee place heard I was writing about Glenn Beck.

“Great!” he said. “It’s a growth industry and you’re in on the ground floor.”

A most depressing thought. Maybe that’s my karma.

Yet, I have a fascination for Beck that transcends tee vee and, best to illustrate it, let me tell you a little story about my childhood. Stop fidgeting, children, and cross your legs. That’s right. Stop chewing that gum.

Okay, as you may know I grew up in Detroit and hit my teens in 1965, just so you understand the era. Woodward Avenue is the city’s main thoroughfare dividing east Detroit from west Detroit. It begins at the Detroit River and runs on a northwest angle past 8 Mile Road, the city limits, and well beyond into the suburbs. While in the city it’s a fairly normal street, though quite wide by most standards. Once you cross into the suburbs it becomes a boulevard, with a large grassy island in the middle separating opposing lanes of traffic.

Because of its majestic feel, I always loved when we drove up Woodward. At 12 Mile Road, on the northeast corner <>, stands a church that attracted my attention even as a Jewish child. It’s just so beautiful despite, or because of, the iconography. The National Shrine of the Little Flower really is a gorgeous building and seeing it as a child started me off on an appreciation of architecture that continues to this day.

On the opposite corner sprawls Roseland Park Cemetery. I mention this graveyard for one reason: whenever we passed this corner some of my older relatives would spit a “patooey” as we crossed 12 Mile. Because some of the older Jews in my family still held Old World values and superstitions, I had always assumed it was some curse to protect against the dead.

It was only years later, when I began to understand both architecture and politics, did I come to learn that this monument to Jesus Christ at the Shrine of the Little Flower was also a monument and a shrine to, and built by, Father Charles Coughlin, one of the most rabid anti-Semites to ever have his own radio show. At his height he is said to have had 40 million listeners. (Famously, Loofah Lad O’Reilly was once scientifically compared to Charlie the Man of God and it was determined that Mr. Falafel is a bigger demagogue.)

My relatives weren’t spitting as a protection from dead people. There were spitting and cursing the memory of the bad mojo, the cosmic karma, that Father Coughlin represented. A full thirty years after the fact, long after his evil had been silenced, my relatives were still cursing his name and his church.

One, and by that I mean me again, wonders if this will be Glenn Beck’s ultimate karma.

With all my love,

Aunty Em

P.S. Find me on facebook and I’ll friend you.

Peters told O’Reilly that the Fort Hood shootings were “the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11… It was committed by a Muslim fanatic.” But in an article called, Big Questions on Gunman; Few Details, the New York Times reported, “Muslims who attended mosques with Major Hasan in Virginia, Maryland and Texas said they had never heard him express extremist views about politics or religion. And though openly opposed to the wars, he did not express anti-American sentiments, they said… Yahya Hendi, a part-time chaplain at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, said Major Hasan had once praised him for giving a sermon opposing extremism. 'He felt that Muslims needed to speak about peace and love,' Imam Hendi said."

But Peters didn’t need any more facts. He said with disgust, “Our president tells us not to rush to judgment, to wait until all the facts are in. What facts are we waiting for? This was an Islamist terrorist act… We knew he was an Islamist. The military did nothing about it, out of political correctness. So, Bill, what am I missing?”

Maybe, Ralph, you’re missing that being an “Islamist” is not a crime, it’s not a synonym for un-American (as Peters was suggesting) and it’s not cause for the military to “do something.” In fact, the military wants more Muslims to serve. The BBC reported that the Pentagon says there are 3,572 Muslims in active service (some estimate the number is much higher). BBC also reported, “The US government has made no secret of the fact that it would like to see more people from Arab and Muslim communities joining the armed forces. More American Muslim troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan has long been seen as a vital part in helping the US in its missions to win hearts and minds in those countries. ‘They are a great asset to the army,’ Lt Col Nathan Banks, army spokesman for the Pentagon, told the BBC. ‘When they do deploy they help facilitate a lot of our missions. American Muslims in the army work hand in hand with local Muslims, and we welcome that.’"

But, apparently, retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters knows better.

O’Reilly was more reasonable. “Let me tell you what you might be missing,” O’Reilly said, noting that he was “not disagreeing… I simply don’t know.” He allowed as how there was a possibility that despite being “a rabid Muslim” Hasan was “so troubled, personally, that he just snapped and that the Muslim thing wasn’t the primary motivator (my emphasis) for him killing all of those people.” O’Reilly added that the ongoing investigation will reveal the answer. But he seemed to assume that Hasan's religion had something to do with the crime, it was just a question of how much.

Of course, Peters didn’t need to wait. He said, “(Hasan) clearly was planning it for at least several days. It was a cold-blooded act. It wasn’t a crime of passion… This was something very, very different. It was a terrorist act. Now, you don’t have to be directly into Al Qaeda to be an Islamist terrorist.”

Peters continued by attacking the “P.C.” Army and the media. “What troubles me beyond the fact that this was a terrorist act and the media, the mainstream, lame-stream media won’t deal with it as such, it troubles me that our army has become so politically correct that they didn’t get rid of this guy.”

O’Reilly asked, “You think there was enough evidence, Colonel, from what you’ve heard and what you know, to cashier the guy? Was there enough evidence?”

“Oh, God, absolutely,” Peters declared. He went on to make the dubious claim (and I could not find any evidence for it) that Hasan had given a talk “about how Islam calls for infidels to be murdered.”

Peters added, “I want our president to take a stand. Stop this ‘Oh, There is no Islamist terrorism.’ Fort Hood, the new 9/11, active Islamist terrorism on our soil. Let’s be honest about it.”

Yes, let’s be honest. Our president did not say there is no Islamist terrorism.

Peters continued, “The charge that (Hasan) was harassed and he broke – Good, God… He’s been a trouble maker and a sad sack for a long time but because he was part of a protected species, a protected minority, the Army let him slide. Just re-assign him… It’s time to get rid of the P.C. culture in the Army, in society and the media.”

Peters concluded by saying he thought the Factor viewers “understand that this was an act of Islamist terror” and complained about the rest of the media ignoring the suffering of the victims in order to focus on the suffering of Hasan. “And I am ready to puke,” Peters said.

On Wednesday’s (11/4/09) Your World, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-You lie!) was interviewed about President Obama's health care bill. When asked about Congress going forward in the wake of the previous day’s election returns, Wilson said, "It's actually arm twisting to secure the votes… The 2000 page bill is a bill, which is a takeover of a significant portion of our economy. It's not being thought through...It's taking advantage of the American people. Attacking senior citizens, attacking small business." Comment: BarackObama.com says Obama’s plan "protects Medicare for seniors.” and "provides small business tax credits." You lie, twice, Rep.Wilson!

“…I think it's a disconnect. The voters spoke (Tuesday), and they want limited government, not big government. These are the same members of Congress who voted for the National Energy Tax, which is a tax of $3400 on each family."

Comment: The CBO says the cost is $175 per household. You lie! Also, two Congressional races were won by Democrats yesterday, so how did people reject big government? You lie!

Host Neil Cavuto challenged none of those falsehoods.
