Victoria Jackson's CPAC Comments and 4 More Controversial Moments From the 'SNL' Star [VIDEOS]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsVictoria Jackson sure loves to talk about politics. The former "Saturday Night Live" star joined a panel called "Getting Started in Hollywood" at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. While some panel members, including Variety deputy editor Ted Johnson, doubted there was a widespread movement to suppress conservatives in Hollywood, Jackson disagreed: "They just don't dislike Christians, they hate God," said Jackson, who later added, "You don't know how liberal it is, even the Christians are communist. ... Do you see me on TV? No. Do you see me in movies? ...
Mitt Romney to Fox News: No Time Frame for Presidential Announcement
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThe slow-forming GOP presidential field isn't making much headway. During an interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" Wednesday night, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney -- considered a frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2012 -- was coy about when he might enter the race. "I don't have a specific time frame at this point," said Romney, who sought his party's nomination in 2008. "No announcement to make. We'll give that some thought, obviously. . . . But we haven't made a decision at this point, and my guess is the other folks you mention haven't either. And yet, we are all doing ...
Florida's Alan Grayson Says Sarah Palin Instigated Arizona Shootings
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyFormer Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson is accusing Sarah Palin of fueling violence preceding the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson Jan. 8. "There has been a stream of violence and threats of violence by the right wing against Democrats," he wrote in an e-mail letter to his supporters titled "Gabby was Right, Palin is Wrong." "Gabby warned against it, and then became a terrible victim of it. Palin has instigated it, and then tried to pretend that it doesn't exist." In Wednesday's message, which also appeard on his Facebook page, Grayson writes: "When I opened my web ...
Palin on Blowback From 'Blood Libel' Comment: They Can't Make Us Shut Up
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailySarah Palin said Monday night that she used the term "blood libel" to describe false claims made against outspoken conservatives like herself who were accused of having blood on their hands in the aftermath of the deadly shootings in Arizona. Palin was criticized by some Jewish groups for employing the highly charged words that historically have referred to a false rationalization for anti-Semitism -- that Jews used Christian blood in some rituals. "I think the critics again were using anything that they could gather out of that statement," Palin said on the Fox News Channel's "Hannity" ...
Sarah Palin's Public Relations Strategy: Presidential or Not?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailySarah Palin may be the social media queen when it comes to going directly to her constituency (and the media), but she and her team have a ways to go when it comes to basic public relations skills. The 2012 presumed GOP presidential hopeful proved that during the past week, when all eyes were on the mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz. And her exclusive interview Monday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News (the network that employs her) didn't help. We're on board with Jared Loughner carrying the sole blame for the tragic assassination attempt on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that killed six people, ...

Gabrielle Giffords.

Some Jewish groups strongly protested her use of the term, which historically was used to accuse Jews ...
Now Tucker Carlson Says Michael Vick Should Not Be Executed
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsOK, so maybe he crossed the line. Tucker Carlson drew some fire -- particularly from Twitter -- last week when he proclaimed on air that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick should have been "executed" for his dog-fighting crimes. "I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that." Now the Fox News personality says that "of course I don't think he should be executed." "This is what happens when you get ...
Sarah Palin Won't 'Waste' Time With Katie Couric or Other 'Biased' Interviewers
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailySarah Palin says she wants to help "clean up" the sorry state of journalism and won't "waste my time" with the likes of CBS news anchor Katie Couric if she runs for president in 2012. In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Palin claimed some expertise in journalism and looked forward to "being more open than I already am" -- but only with reporters that understand the "cornerstone of our democracy, that expectation that the public has for truth to be reported." "I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism," she told the conservative commentator. "And I have a ...
Rick Sanchez and the All-Time-Greatest Jon Stewart Apologies [VIDEO]
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 6) -- That wasn't so hard, was it? On Wednesday, former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez issued a formal apology to Comedy Central's Jon Stewart for calling "The Daily Show" host a bigot and implying that Jews control the media. "On October 4th, I had a very good conversation with Jon Stewart," Sanchez's statement began, "and I had the opportunity to apologize for my inartful comments from last week. I sincerely extend this apology to anyone else whom I may have offended." Sanchez, however, is by no means the first news personality to offer the fake newsman such a gesture. Surge Desk travels ...
John Boehner on President Obama: We Talk About Golf, Skin Color
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAppearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last night, Minority Leader John Boehner was asked about his relationship with President Obama. According to Boehner: I come in and he will say, 'Boehner, you are almost as dark as me.' . . . We talk about golf. We'll talk about our skin color. We have a nice relationship. The problem we have is that when we talk to each other, there's no connection. I've got 11 brothers and sisters, my dad owned a bar. I was a small-business guy long before I got into this business. When I talk [to Obama] about the real world, it doesn't seem to register. You can ...
