On a Friday night, where can you look to find a little anti-religious media bias? No other than MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show."

In her "Ms. Information" segment, Maddow engaged in a rant about Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., opposition to language in the stimulus bill that could forbid the practice of religion in institutions of higher learning where stimulus funds are used, as a Feb. 3 story by the Culture & Media Institute pointed out.

Maddow explained how this provision had been in the bill for over 40 years, then played a portion of DeMint's speech on her Feb. 6 MSNBC show.

They're really grasping at straws on the left if they want to attack DeMint on this one.

Looks like DeMint hit a nerve with the National Socialists d/b/a Democrats.

I try not to watch her but I have to look. She talks with her eyebrows and that slanted smirk. I can’t believe she is host of anything. She and Olbie are cruel and hateful.

This post reminded me of something that happened today. I was listening to the "Randi Rhodes Show" (yeah, I know), when the guest host was commenting on how Barack Obama was reaching across the aisle to the Republicans to get them on board with the porculus bill. She said that Obama "extended the fig leaf" to the Republicans. I about bust a gut with her unmitigated stupidity. Extend the fig leaf - they are too stupid to know how stupid they are.

Never heard of him. Do they still have the sportscaster who thinks he’s a political/historical savant?
