| Throughout the day on Monday, “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane took sharp criticisms from members of the media for his performance as host of the Academy Awards Sunday night. But conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh had the opposite reaction, deeming MacFarlane worthy of an “attaboy.” Limbaugh explained on his Monday show that he sent a personal note to MacFarlane, giving him props for his performance. “Seth MacFarlane was the host of the program,” Limbaugh said. “As you know, I have appeared on the ‘Family Guy’ TV show three times

I´m a supporter of Rush, but I can´t undestand why he would have anything to do with that filthy show!!

Yeah Seth, it´s not so funny when you´re not the edgy media darling, is it?
Wait until your shows lose popularity. Carl Reiner used to be on top, Mel Brooks--remember when practically every sitcom had a Norman Lear connection?
And all those guys were miles more creative than you are.
I think Rushbo feels that he is on the "inside" of this one because he did his show. I wouldn´t be on that dumb show if you paid me big bucks.
I guess even Rush has limits to his integrity.

Rush is tolerant. Something Leftists are never able to comprehend.
I have heard Rush give "credit" to so many individuals he knows personally based on their abilities, not upon their political leanings.

Bit of a slow learner, are you Seth?
I, too, fail to understand why Rush has anything to do with this show.

... Sorry but family guy is hysterical. Don´t worry folks, you won´t lose your conservative card if you watch and laugh at things that push the envelope. You can even laugh at things that are shocking and vulgar. I´m not saying bring your children in the room to watch with you, but... The flipping show is hysterical, and I guarrantee you that I´m to the right politically as probably anyone on this site... Now lighten up and enjoy life a little more and stop taking yourselves so flipping seriously

Sorry #5, I get the feeling that if I went to the bathroom in public and broadcasted it, you´d find it hysterical. That´s how people like you are, the great infantilism of grown people around urine, semen and poop jokes, along with a good dollop of making fun of Jesus and Christianity.
Come on over to my house #5, I have some used baby diapers you will find hilarious, and I have some great rape jokes to share with you. You´ll be in stitches!

#5, you are not alone. Between American Dad, Family Guy and Ted,McFarlane has the pulse of what is funny. There are some here that are so uptight, you could put coal in their colons and make diamonds.

Heavy thread. My take: There are lots of talented people out there making stuff I disagree with politically. If it´s entertaining, I enjoy it. If it´s funny, I enjoy it a lot. What I don´t do is assume my tastes apply to others. In early days, Family Guy struck me as entertaining. I stopped watching when the pedophile humor started because I believe some things are dangerous to make fun of. That´s my own personal choice, however, and MacFarlane is indeed a talented guy who works hard at what he does.

Family Guy is probably the most annoying show I´ve ever seen. For some reason, my daughter loves it, even though Seth has made fun of people with Down syndrome on a previous episode. My sons used to watch the show more a couple of years ago, but they´ve moved on to better things. I know my daughter will as well.

Whoa, easy there! Hey, I am the first person to hate bathroom humor or any other nasty stuff that comes out these days. I am always longing for the old days when real talent was necessary to create a TV show. A time when writers had to actually be clever and not rely on juvenile antics to force laughs of embarrassment.
That said, I have actually watched Family Guy a few times, and while I don´t care for the gross stuff, it can be entertaining and funny at times. That said, I do not think that everyone who watches the show has to be a delinquent juvenile.

Radio host Dennis Miller and National Review columnist Mark Steyn considered Thursday the possible outcomes if the United States continues down the path of socialism. If socialism became the prevailing governing philosophy, Miller speculated, escaping it wouldn’t require a move to the Australian outback. Instead he suggested heading for the state of Texas, because it would be the first place to push back against it. “If I ever do flee, don’t think fleeing has to involve you going over to Alice Springs or something,” Miller said. “I’m going to Texas because that’ll be the first place that pushes

Conservative radio talker Mark Levin appears to have touched off the investigation into Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative political groups back in March 2012. In a letter last year on behalf of the Landmark Legal Foundation, an organization he heads, Levin requested an investigation into what he called “misconduct.” On Friday, the Internal Revenue Service revealed that it had improperly targeted conservative groups for audits during the 2012 election. During a conference call, Lois Lerner, the IRS’s director of exempt organizations, explained that IRS staffers selected groups that

At the National Rifle Association Convention in Houston on Friday, conservative talker Mark Levin told attendees that the Bill or Rights were “under attack” from progressives in Washington, D.C. “The forces that are gathering now in Washington and in the states to destroy our Second Amendment right are ominous,” Levin the author of “Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America,” said. “They’re not focused on criminals. They’re not focused on mass murderers. They’re focused on ‘we the people.’ The fact of the matter is these are very, very perilous times. The federal government is becoming increasingly powerful.

Over the past four months, former Florida Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough has used his “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC as a platform to be an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association and anyone else standing in the way of what he calls “common sense” gun control legislation. On more than one occasion over the past month, Scarborough has accused NRA-loyal Republicans of putting the interests of “rapists” ahead of other Americans. “I can’t believe those Republicans are going to allow the entire Republican Party to be the party that basically put rapists’ rights over parents’ rights to

On his Tuesday program, “The O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly took on Nihad Awad, the founder and executive director of the controversial pro-Muslim group the Council on American-Islamic Relations. O’Reilly asked Awad to explain why it was incorrect to take aim at extremist elements in Islam in aftermath of last week’s Boston bombing, particularly since there are indications that Islam was the inspiration for the suspects’ actions. Awad denied that sentiment was representative of Muslims. “First of all, thank you for having me on the show again,” Awad said. “I really appreciate it because it’s important to bring

On HBO’s “Real Time” on Friday night, host Bill Maher entertained UC-San Bernardino professor Brian Levin, director of the Center for Study of Hate and Extremism, who maintained that despite the events in recent days, religious extremism isn’t only a product of Islam. But Maher took issue with that claim, calling it “liberal ********” and said there was no comparison. “You know what, yeah, yeah,” Maher said. “You know what — that’s liberal ******** right there … they’re not as dangerous.

On Rush Limbaugh’s Friday program, fill-in host Mark Steyn reminded listeners of Limbaugh’s Tuesday comments predicting the media would “circle the wagons” for Islam if it turned out that the suspects in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing Muslims, saying that the prediction will come true. As it turned out, the suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indeed Muslims, and Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” said the media wagon-circling would begin “any moment now.” “As we now know, these guys are Muslim,” Steyn said. “One of them was Muslim.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.

Appearing on Laura Ingraham‘s radio show this afternoon, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume suggested some Republicans were “stupid” to consider impeachment of President Obama a viable response to the ongoing scandals regarding the Benghazi attacks, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and the Justice Department secret seizure of AP phone records. Likely referring to some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who has put impeachment on the table as an option for handling the Benghazi fallout, Ingraham asked Hume to comment on how some Republican leaders have “ran to the microphone” to suggest removal
