Matt Drudge

A story being pushed by Drudge is about tonight’s address by President Obama and how it conflicts with ABC showing A Charlie Brown Christmas. I’m sure this will be taken by people like O’Reilly as a massive first strike in the War on Christmas. Luckily the tragedy has been adverted as ABC has rescheduled the show for next Tuesday at 8pm.

There we have Drudge pushing a story about nine murders/suicides in Chicago over the holiday weekend. This has been an obsession of Drudge since Obama became our President. Somehow Drudge thinks that it all reflects upon our President. Interesting considering we never pinned crimes in Texas on Bush.

On Thanksgiving eve we have spotter the first insurgent on the “war on Christmas”. He comes in a familiar face:

Matt Drudge, in an effort to make one of his “funny” headlines, has taken Christ out of Christmas. Why does Matt Drudge hate Jesus so much?

Here goes Drudge pushing another bowgate story:

I’ve heard of obsession, but this is getting ridiculous.

Here’s what Drudge is pushing right now:

Wow! Showing respect – how “unpresidential”. Seriously, these kind of complaints really make Obama look good. I mean if this is all the leading right wing news site can find to complain about with our President then he must really be doing an awesome job,

Drudge has broken out the big red text for one of his “warning” headlines:

OMG! Pack up the bags and let’s all get out!

Here’s the video of Perry making the claim that, “This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

So I guess we should all heed the words of Rick Perry, the same guy who thinks it’s a good idea to secede from the union, because Texas would do so good on their own. I just love it when morons like Drudge promote lunatics like Perry to an even bigger stage. It really does our country well.

Really – is Drudge that hard up for news that this is his top headline?

Sebelius had a basal cell carcinoma removed from her forehead on Tuesday during a successful standard outpatient procedure, according to HHS spokeswoman Jenny Backus.

"She is back fighting to get everyone the same good health care she has," Backus said in an e-mail.

Nothing is wrong with her eye and it only appears puffy because of the effects of the procedure to remove the skin cells from her forehead.

Something rather minor if you ask me. Its not like Cheney and his constant visits to the hospital. So what do you think the message that Drudge is trying to push?

The party of no has now said no to America overall. When has it been acceptable to cheer against our country so much? Check out Drudge’s top headline right now:

Being chosen to host the Olympics is considered a high honor for any nation, which is why so much work goes into to trying to secure the bid. People in Rio are thrilled right now, yet we have some of the loudest voices in our public discussion showing joy in our loss.

Perhaps its time for a new GOP motto:

Republicans! Rallying against America since it had the nerve to elect a black President.

The sounds about right.

Wow this must be some big government conspiracy!  I bet the feds are even involved in this, you know – since Obama is from Chicago.

But what is Drudge reporting? Let’s look:

A local TV station that reported on Chicagoans NOT wanting the Olympics has been told NOT to run the report again, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT!

The Chicago Olympic Committee told FOX Chicago that its broadcast "would harm Chicago's chances" to be awarded the games.

The station's news director ordered staff to hold fire after the report aired once last Thursday morning, claims a source.

That station’s news director ordered staff not to report on this? How was the station “ordered” not to run it then? This sounds like an editorial decision made by the people who are supposed to make such decisions, all internally within the station. I give it to the end of the day for Obama to be accused of trying to muzzle the fourth estate and talks of communism to really start.

The news of the day hands down is the news that Iran has been working on a second nuclear plant. This comes as a surprise to the world, but not the world leaders and intelligence communities:

American officials said that they had been tracking the covert project for years, but that Mr. Obama decided to make public the American findings after Iran discovered, in recent weeks, that Western intelligence agencies had breached the secrecy surrounding the project. On Monday, Iran wrote a brief, cryptic letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency, saying that it now had a “pilot plant” under construction, whose existence it had never before revealed.

Of course this covert project that has been underway for several years is going to somehow become the fault of President Obama, and evidence of that lie has already started on Drudge:

The construction of this plant started and mostly occurred while George Bush was in the White House and has been no secret to the government, yet Drudge wants us to think that Iran pulled a quickie on the administration. If this is a surprise to Obama then it should be a down right shocker to Bush.

Drudge is linking a couple of past stories on the top of his site:

The first article refers to Harry Reid make the statement while discussing filibusters to some high school students and the second refers to an appearance on Meet the Press. Both of these are far different than calling the President a liar on a nationally televised speech before a joint session of Congress.

The final article talks about the Democrats booing Bush during his State of the Union in 2005. Apparently Drudge didn’t even read what he linked to because it is a Media Matters piece that talks about the right being up in arms over this, even though they did the same thing to Clinton. Of course there is a major difference between booing and calling someone a liar.

What Rep. Joe Wilson did is unprecedented, and actually a breech of protocol according to one former representative – Joe Scarborough. The fact that Drudge is trying to defend this action shows that he has no respect for the office of the Presidency. And could you just imagine how Drudge would react if someone like Dennis Kucinich called President Bush a liar? It would be an all out war.

Matt Drudge has decided to coin Obama’s speech tomorrow as a “lecture”, and look what he is pushing on top of his page:

And you can bet a lot of the lunatic fringe will start screaming “how dare the President tell our children to wash their hands!” Of course these will be the families that end up contracting H1N1

Drudge is pushing this right wing rumor that President Obama was checking out some 16 year olds ass while at the G8:

Oh and here’s the really bad part. That “Second Stimulus Package” is a joke referring to the picture that links to the picture on Yahoo. Even 6 out of 7 of Drudge’s top headlines talk about this:

The problem with it? It’s all fake. Jake Tapper even has video proving this was not what Obama was doing.

Even if Obama was checking out her ass, do the Republicans really want to get into this, especially with John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Newt Gingrich, and all the other ones I don’t feel like mentioning? Oh please, let’s go there and really expose Matt Drudge for the non-news man he is, plus the GOP for the hypocrites they are.

Drudge:

Now for the actual headline:

From they “may” fire to they are planning to fire in one quick swoop of Drudge’s keyboard. Then if you read the first paragraph of the article you find out more:

North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence officials.

So they aren’t planning on firing it “at Hawaii”, but rather “towards”. But will the missile hit the Aloha state?

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country.

Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea.

It doesn’t even have the range to hit Hawaii. Welcome to the world of right wing fear mongering.

Here’s what Drudge is currently pushing:

Yeah because Angela Merkel was really dazzled with our last President:
