Jezebel: Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck Loves Michele Bachmann, Hates Children

Erin Gloria Ryan — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:10:00 EST

Easily flustered incoherent homophobe Michele Bachmann was the guest on Glenn Beck's radio program yesterday, and the two of them agreed that the 8-year-old who recently told the Presidential candidate that his gay moms didn't need fixing was put up to it by a couple of shameless lesbians bent on ruining America. Poor, poor Michele Bachmann. Won't someone think of the hateful megalomaniacs? More »

Suddenly Fox News Is A Champion Of Women's Rights?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:00:00 EDT

Ever since meeting Sarah Palin—and especially now that conservative freakazoid Michele Bachmann is considering running in 2012—Fox News has taken a sudden interest in defending women from sexist, degrading remarks, developing a recent obsession with the comments Bill Maher has made about the two women. So is Fox News our knight in shining armor, saving us from the big comedians of the world? Hardly, as evidenced by this reel of comments made about women by their very own on-air personalities. It would seem that it's only "sexism" when unflattering remarks are made about conservative women. Also, it's not "sexism" if the remarks are actually compliments, like when referring to a congresswoman as "hot." More »
