Todd Starnes is a ridiculous Culture Warrior, racist and Rush Limbaugh-wannabe who likes to make stuff up .. http://www.forwardprogressives.com/todd-starnes-tweets-forget-reagan-bush-decency/ . He’s also xenophobe with questionable intelligence – but most people who make it their living to indiscriminately defend the indefensible appear unintelligent even when they have high IQs. Recently, we caught Starnes making stuff up about immigrants .. http://www.forwardprogressives.com/todd-starnes-thinks-lgbtq-activists-will-deport-christians-seriously/ . And now he’s using the defeat of Eric Cantor and a crisis with detained immigrant children to spread more malicious lies about migrants, starting with calling them by the slur “ill*g*ls”.
Starnes had already started on his “ill*g*ls” and “amnesty” rants in his farewell to Eric Cantor. Cantor isn’t known for being nice, and certainly not for actually offering any sort of blanket amnesty. But even the slightest hint of generosity extended to immigrants (especially if they’re not Anglo White) is unforgivable for the xenophobic wing of conservatism
And so on the night when we sang “Bye-Bye Eric Cantor”, rightwingers were also rejoicing that a so-called RINO (yeah, sure) was heading on his way out. In his trademark dim wit, Todd Starnes just thought it hilarious:
---
Run .. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476518149450629120 .. for the border, RINOs.
---
Cantor is apparently a Republican In Name Only even though he’s a Republican in every other manner as well. But you know ideologues love their No Scotsman Fallacy. What borders, you ask? Oh, you know the one from the Taco Bell commercials.
---
It’s.. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476514738281525248 .. just too bad all those invaders swarming across the border couldn’t cast their votes in Virginia…
---
“Invaders”? “Swarming”? WTEVERLOVINF?
---
Establishment .. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476517368433102848 .. Republicans just soiled themselves #cantor #amnesty
---
And in case he wasn’t clear about his interpretation of this upset:
---
Here’s .. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476521797924315136 .. the message from Virginia: You either stand with Americans or you stand with the invaders.
---
Was that the message? Because primaries don’t usually send messages except “Less than 20% of registered party members cared to vote. Everybody else forgot to circle their calendars.”
About a day later and he’s still furious at immigrants, but not through Cantor. This time it’s about accommodations and food.
---
So .. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476879164910620673 .. what happens when there are 100 million illegals living in America? …Illegals .. https://twitter.com/toddstarnes/status/476910516858654721 .. are complaining because we’re feeding them flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas.
---
Let’s ignore the fact that “100 million” is over a third the population of the United States and that Starnes can’t do math for a second here. It’s already obvious that he has no grasp on truth when it comes to racial and poverty issues. This thing about “complaining because we’re feeding them four tortillas” is a Fox News spin on a bit of a crisis. But don’t worry as that spin is only disingenuous lies about Latin American kids.
Thousands of kids caught by Border Patrol trying to cross the US’ southern border are being held in a makeshift detention center .. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/06/09/consul-illegal-immigrant-children-complaining-burritos-eggs-they-are-being-fed-making-them-sick/ .. in Nogales, Arizona. Mattresses, toilets, and other supplies had to be immediately sent to the facility for 700 children the other day. Some of the children, who are as young as one, complained that the food they were getting – burritos and cold eggs – were making them sick. This outraged a few of the fine human beings over at Fox News, of course. HOW DARE THEY?!?! WHY BACK IN MY DAY SOME OF THE KIDS THAT WE STARVE WOULD LOVE TO BE FED BEFORE THEY WENT TO BED! Here’s some Laura Ingraham .. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/06/10/laura-ingraham-uses-taco-bell-ad-to-mock-immigr/199655 .. outrage, if you have the stomach for it.
But let’s not forget that this is a story about kids. Kids in a very desperate situation being locked away and absent from their parents in this land because, well, things were really bad at home.

“I remember a little boy of 9 years old and I asked if he was going to go meet someone and he told me ‘No, I’m just going hand myself over because I hear they help kids,’ ” Vazquez said.

Todd Starnes is a writer. He uses words for a living. He connects words and thoughts all the time. So he already knows that the term illegal is an adjective and not a noun. More so, he is aware that people’s entire lives cannot be summed up through activity and that whatever adjective one can be described by does not and cannot supersede that person’ humanity. But yet, here we are, and Starnes decides that not only are undocumented immigrants – whose only crime is the misdemeanor of crossing a border – functioning in illegal premises, but their entire existence is illegal.

Todd Starnes of Fox News Lies Again: A Texas School Did Not Ban Christmas Trees and the Colors Red & Green

I think this is the third fake story “reported” by Fox News’ Todd Starnes in the past two weeks. But I could be wrong since I’ve only read three of his stories in the past two weeks.
His latest version of “fair and balanced” spin takes us to Frisco, Texas, where Starnes writes that an elementary school has “banned Christmas trees and the colors red & green from an upcoming ‘winter’ party”: .. more .. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/12/07/todd-starnes-of-fox-news-lies-again-a-texas-school-did-not-ban-christmas-trees-and-the-colors-red-green/

the FOX POS mold .. cute the way he threw "brownshirts" in there, too .. rooster, don't think you can get much worse .. duh, thanks for the intro ..
