Max Headroom: A fact check is not a second opinion, just an FYI

A rip from Howard DeanJust remember, Obama staffers: He says this out of love, not hate. Howard Dean, still an icon of progressivism, ripped into Obama’s staff today, saying that they didn’t understand the concerns of regular people in their own party. Ouch.
Blago explains himselfOn “Fox News Sunday,” the man, the myth and the hair did a pretty terrible job evading Chris Wallace’s questions about how his case could hurt Democrats nationally. We think he should probably stick to awful reality TV instead.
Fact check? Not reallyWhile the guy they have on here certainly makes some good points about Franklin Graham’s rant on CNN the other day, the fact of the matter is that Boston University professor Stephen Prothero is analyzing, not “fact-checking.”

I think the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name.
Rev. Franklin Graham • Blowing smoke over the controversy around Obama’s faith. Because, you know what, this really helps our country and gives us another fake controversy to worry about. May we remind everyone that Franklin Graham was the same guy who wasn’t allowed to pray at the Pentagon during the National Day of Prayer because of his comments on the Islamic faith. (We gave him a slight show of support back then, but now we’re not so sure.) How does giving this jerk a megaphone help anything? See, the difference between him and his father, the Rev. Billy Graham, is that Billy built his legacy on bringing people together. Franklin is building it on dividing people. Shameful. This is the problem with our country. We’re building useless divisions. source

no Evangelist Franklin Graham (Billy Graham’s son) wasn’t in the Pentagon for the National Day of Prayer due to his controversial comments on Muslims.
but Graham was right outside the Pentagon praying just the same, huddled along the sidewalk with a half-dozen other people. Not the same, but kinda noble. source

You can’t beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they’ve committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries. I don’t agree with the teachings of Islam and I find it to be a very violent religion.
Evangelist Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham, who’s still kicking) • Regarding the Islamic religion. He said these statements in an a CNN interview last year, and now they’re being thrown in his face as the Pentagon is blocking him from taking part in National Day of Prayer events at the large, pointy mecca (whoops, wrong choice of word) hub of the Department of Defense. Just think of it this way, Frankie: At least radical Muslims didn’t suggest you’d be killed for your controversial statements, like Trey Parker and Matt Stone. source
