The whiplash-inducing switch in policy (and back again) by the Susan G. Komen Foundation to stop funding (and then not stop funding) Planned Parenthood this week may have caused some pro-lifers to regret all the nice things they said.

But what if you were a leftist radio host who responded by calling the Komen people "Nazis" who would crucify Jews? Would you, could you gently back away from an attack like that? On Thursday, radical and splenetic Mike Malloy (the former CNN employee) uncorked his usual death talk against the Komen Foundattion, and most specifically the suspected bad girl in this plot, one Karen Handel, who apparently would kill Jews and Muslims:

So the fact the people are reacting to the Nazis that took over the Susan G. Komen Foundation, especially this Karen Handel freak that comes right out of Georgia. I'll tell you, we knew her here [in Atlanta]! We knew her! And you think some of these caricature right-wing Republican women are dangerous like Sarah Palin and — and the one that says she's not a witch [Christine O'Donnell] and the one that runs Arizona  [Jan Brewer] — and the one that  was a representative — you know [let's guess Michele Bachmann]  — you think they're weird? Baby, let me tell you something, you have not listened to Karen Handel! You don’t even know her. Very few people outside of Georgia know this woman.

She is the type that would take every Jew in America and crucify ‘em. She is the type that would take, uh, every Muslim in America and execute ’em. She's the type that believes in rabid, militant, Christian fundamentalism. No abortions, no birth control, no women's privacy — and she's a woman! But you don't know viciousness, you don't know religious hatred and bigotry and contempt and disgust unless you have met Karen Handel and I have! Trust me, and she's the one that came up with this. And to watch the head of the Susan G. Komen Foundation who makes half a million dollars a year,. on television today denying that Handel came up with this idea is just an outrage!

"If Ms. Handel has been involved in this decision, we’d love to see some credible documentation of that. Unfortunately we have seen none," Gen Wilson of Georgia Right to Life told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Malloy is a bit of a sentence-first, verdict afterwards kind of guy.

On Thursday's show, Malloy was also outraged that President Obama would lower his glorified body into a National Prayer Breakfast with "murderous Christians," the Jesus-haters who are allegedly in the majority:

Barack, there is no way in hell you're going to garner any respect from these murderous Christians — these war-loving, war-mongering, Jesus-hating Christians — in other words, the majority of Christians these days. You're not going to get any points with them! You can stand up there and give your speech and I mean, my God the Vice-President was there, how many Senators and Representatives were there. Isn't this sponsored by that group in, uh, DC that, uh, that got the Ugandans to pass a law saying that gay people should be executed? I mean, this is so sick it's beyond sick . It's so perverted it's beyond perversion!

It's just mind-boggling that there would be something called a National Prayer Day that has – it's nothing but a bunch of politicians and phony ass religious people getting together to make noises. Like, "Oh, yeah, well, you know, we believe in all things wonderful and good! Now, where — where's my orders for today's drone attacks? Where do we start legislation to end help for the poor? Hey, where do we demonize our brother and sister?  Hey, let's burn a couple women at the stake today!" Hey, what about Susan Komen, you like what they did?! Oh, let's go, let's go, let's get this prayer crap out of the way! And let’s rock and roll!

It was Malloy who fantasized out loud about God ripping these murderous Christians to bits. He turned to the same-sex marriage debate in Washington. Minister Steven Andrews of USA Christian Ministries urged a boycott of Starbucks for their pro-gay stance. Malloy couldn't handle it:

This Christian minister wants you to boycott Starbucks for as long as the Seattle company  continues to support gay rights. Boycott ‘em! And if you can, find, you know, some Starbucks people and burn ‘em at the stake, I guess. You know, this is demonic stuff. They’re supporting gay rights, these coffee sellers.

Reading from Andrews' remarks, Malloy came unglued:

"Starbucks is no longer fashionable. If your church still uses Starbucks then your pastor is friend of the world.” Heh heh, friend of the world? Oh no! God who calls those who oppose him haters of God! Does God drink coffee? Son of a bitch, who knew? Well, I wouldn't be surprised, he's got to stay up to figure out ways to torture these right-wing bastards when he finally gets his claws and talons into them after they die. Because they are going to go to this heaven or hell that they've constructed — and the God that they think that is all-loving is going to rip them to piecessssss! Shredded Christian!

Melissa Harris-Perry might have set a new world record in the use of euphemism to avoid calling abortion by its name.

The Tulane professor, soon to be a host of her own MSNBC show, used a string of politically-correct evasions to say anything but the a-word during her appearance on Al Sharpton's show this evening.  It came in the context of discussing the Komen Foundation's cave on funding Planned Parenthood. Video after the jump.

If people like Harris-Perry are proud of their advocacy of abortion rights, why don't they have the moral courage to call it by its name?

AL SHARPTON: And I don't think people understand how vile towards women's right to choose, women's right to deal with their own options, that the right wing has become in this day.

MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY: Well look: this would have been a masterful strategy, had it worked, right?  Because what it did was to separate out good girls from bad girls, which has always been an effective way to limit some women from having having the same freedoms and opportunities, right? So if breast cancer is separated out completely from Planned Parenthood; if Planned Parenthood can't provide breast-cancer screenings, cervical-cancer screenings.  If all they're doing is providing reproductive choice opportunities like birth control and pregnancy terminations, then you can after them because those are the bad girls, those are the people who have done bad things.

Note: Sharpton was no slouch himself when it came to abortion euphemisms.  "Women's righ to deal with their own options" was a new one by me.

While Mitt Romney is polling strong in Nevada – as her own network had reported – CNN's Ashleigh Banfield still questioned how anyone in the state could "connect" with him over his laissez-faire approach to the foreclosure crisis. Banfield's question came at the bottom of the 1 p.m. hour of Friday's Newsroom.

The CNN host dismissed Romney's free market solution as hurtful to his own campaign, as if Nevada voters might not support such a remedy for the housing market. [Video below the break. Click here for audio.]

"[H]ow is it that anybody in Nevada, conservative or not, could connect with Mitt Romney when he says something about foreclosures to this effect?" Banfield asked on Friday afternoon before playing a clip of Romney saying the crisis needs to "run its course and hit the bottom" before bouncing back up. "Ouch," she exclaimed when the clip ended.

"I know Republicans and really strong conservatives like the free market economy, but I'm not so sure they like it when it applies to their home and they're underwater. How is this going to play in Nevada?" she asked, dismissing the free market conservative solution to Nevada's housing woes.

However, Banfield could easily have asked how Nevadans can "connect" with President Obama over his government-heavy solution to the housing market, given that their unemployment and foreclosure problems are happening under his watch.

And GOP guest Gentry Collins pointed to the polls that Romney actually doing well in Nevada. Banfield's own network, three hours earlier, reported Romney ahead in Nevada by 20 points according to a Las Vegas Review-Journal poll.

A transcript of the segment, which aired on February 3 at 1:33 p.m. EST, is as follows:

ASHLEIGH BANFIELD: One in 75 properties in Nevada is in foreclosure and unemployment in that state is 12.6 percent. So how is it that anybody in Nevada, conservative or not, could connect with Mitt Romney when he says something about foreclosures to this effect? Have a listen.

(Video Clip)

MITT ROMNEY, Republican presidential candidate: Don't try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom. Allow investors to buy homes. Put renters in them. Fix the homes up and let it turn around and come back up.

(End Video Clip)
 

BANFIELD: Ouch. Gentry Collins, here's what I think. I know Republicans and really strong conservatives like the free market economy, but I'm not so sure they like it when it applies to their home and they're underwater. How is this going to play in Nevada?

GENTRY COLLINS, former political director, Republican Party: Well the polling evidence is that it's playing quite well. I think – look, this president has not been honest with the American people. He said we could just spend our way out of this recession and it hasn't worked. We spent most of his presidency over nine percent unemployment. We're celebrating now the fact that we're just at eight-and-a-quarter percent unemployment. Just 18 percent of the American people have an optimistic view about their economic future. This President has failed, and I think that American voters are ready for some straight talk about what it takes to put this economy back on track. That's what they're getting from Governor Romney today.

BANFIELD: And I'll bet you the President would have something different to say, especially after today's jobs numbers. But I know how they can be looked at two different ways.

Let me move to this, and that is the statement that was made about the "I don't care about the very poor." That's one very small sliver of Mitt Romney's statement to Soledad O'Brien the other day. And he's coming out to say, okay look, hey, I talk a lot, I give a lot of interviews. You're killing me here. I made a mistake. Let's listen to how he talked about it just last night.

(Video Clip)

ROMNEY: It was a misstatement. I misspoke. I've said something that is similar to that, but quite acceptable for a long time. And you know when you do, I don't know how many thousands of interviews, now and then you may get it wrong. And I misspoke. Plain and simple

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: What did you mean to say?

ROMNEY: What I said was that my focus – my primary focus is on helping people get in the middle class and grow the middle class.

(End Video Clip)

BANFIELD: Man, there is just nothing like some good old-fashioned contrition from a politician. But, Maria Cardona, I'm going to put you on the hot seat here. I – my "spidey senses" say that you and your Democrats are going to seize on it and exploit it anyway. Are you?
 

While much of the focus these days is on the fight for the Republican presidential nomination, there are some developing trends that are likely to have the man already in the White House smiling. Only 29 percent of voters nationwide believe the United States is currently heading in the right direction, while 64 percent believe the nation has gotten off on the wrong track. Those aren't great numbers for a president seeking re-election — but that 29 percent is up from 24 percent a month ago and 16 percent the month before that.

A similar pattern can be found when reviewing the way people view the economy. The raw numbers are bad, but the trend shows improvement. Fifty-seven percent say the country is still in a recession. A majority has held that view consistently for four years. But the number that believes the country is in a recession is down from 61 percent a month ago and 67 percent three months ago.

Overall consumer confidence is rising, and so is what may be the most important indicator of all for President Obama: the way people rate their own personal finances. When the president took office, 35 percent of Americans thought their own finances were in good shape. That fell to 27 percent last summer — clearly not a good sign. But things began to turn around in the fall, and people now are rating their own finances just as they did on Obama's first day in office.

Again, perspective is required. These aren't great numbers. People would like to see improvement in their financial condition, and getting back to where they were in January 2009 is not something most would consider good news. But, still, it's a big improvement since last summer. If people are feeling better about their own finances, they're going to feel better about the guy living in the White House.

Not surprisingly, this has all been reflected in a modestly improving job approval rating for the president. For much of 2011, his positive ratings were in the low-to-mid 40s. In January, however, his ratings inched up to the high 40s for most of the month. On a couple of days, his approval rating even topped the 50 percent mark. If the president's job approval rating moves up and is consistently over 50 percent, no Republican will be able to beat him in November.

However, not every trend is moving as the president would like. At Rasmussen Reports, we measure the number of people who consider themselves Republican, Democrat or unaffiliated every month. In each of the past two months, the number that considers themselves Democrats has fallen to record lows. Now, just 33 percent consider themselves Democrats, down from 40 percent just before Obama took office. The number of Republicans has remained pretty steady during that time, but the Democratic base has shrunk.

The other concern for the White House is that the election will be held in November, not today. While the economic trends are generally improving right now, there is no way to know what direction they'll be heading in by summer or fall. And research has shown over many years that a single bad report on the economy causes confidence to fall immediately. It takes several months of good economic news before confidence can recover.

On the same day that President Obama tells the National Prayer Breakfast crowd that Jesus told him to enact ObamaCare, his staunchest ally in Congress declares that she will stand against the Christian community and support Obama's decision to order Christian organizations to violate their conscience and bow down to ObamaCare.

Talk about irony.

On the one hand, Obama declares that he would be “remiss” if his Christian values “were limited to personal moments of prayer or private conversations with pastors or friends,” and that he must make sure his values “motivate me as one leader of this great nation."

On the other hand, Pelosi – a professed Catholic – declares that Catholics must accept government limiting their faith to very kind of “personal moments of prayer or private conversations” that Obama described.

As CNSNews.com reported, Pelosi vowed today that she will join with the Obama administration in standing up against the Catholic Church in defending a new regulation that will require Catholic individuals to buy, and Catholic institutions to provide, health insurance plans that cover sterilizations and artificial contraceptives, including those that induce abortions.

The Catholic church teaches that sterilization, artificial contraception and abortion are morally wrong and the Catholic bishops of the United States have argued that forcing a Catholic individual to purchase a health insurance plan that covers these things–or forcing a Catholic institution to provide such a plan–forces Catholics to act against their consciences and is a violation of the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.

In letters being read from the pulpit in Catholic parishes across the nation, Catholic bishops are saying: “We cannot – we will not – comply with this unjust law.”

When Pelosi was asked about this yesterday, she called the administration's edict “a very courageous decision” and stated she would support the administration against the Catholic church's position. Must be nice for her to see her own values not being "limited to personal moments of prayer or private conversations with pastors or friends."

Unfortunately, neither she nor Obama wants to allow devout Catholics a chance to do the same.

The journalists at Good Morning America on Friday altered a quote from an ESPN reporter, turning a question about Tim Tebow into a declaration that the faith of the quarterback is why he's such an "astonishingly polarizing," "divisive figure."

On ESPN 2's First Take, Skip Bayless wondered, "Do you believe your faith is the biggest reason you're such an astonishingly polarizing figure, a divisive figure in the country? Everybody has a strong opinion, love him or hate him, on Tebow." During the Josh Elliott segment on GMA, Bayless's query became a proclamation: "Your faith is the biggest reason you're such an astonishingly polarizing figure, a divisive figure in the country." [MP3 audio here. See video below.]

GMA's Elliott played clips of the ESPN interview during the segment and Bayless did explore this line of discussion. In a later question, he challenged, "So, being that guy, that polarizing figure, doesn't really bother you?"

However, it's disingenuous for ABC to edit out the words "do you believe," thus distorting a question into a declaration, changing Bayless's meaning.

Earlier in the segment, Elliot chided that Tebow is "drawing criticism from some corners. Some saying Tim Tebow has made his faith too visible."

ABC did include a snippett of Tebow's "astonishingly polarizing" answers, such as this one on the practice of Tebowing: "…Whether I win or lose, hero or goat, I'm still going to be the same person. I'm going to treat others the way I want to be treated. I'm going do my best and I'm going to do what's right."

The full ESPN interview can be found here. Go to two minutes and 48 seconds in to see the unedited question.

A transcript of the February 3 Good Morning America segment, which aired at 7:45am EST, follows:

ROBIN ROBERTS: Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow had a super story to tell this NFL season. His electrifying, last-minute wins on the field made him popular, grabbing headlines all fall. Now he's speaking out about critics, his faith and dealing with all this fame. And Josh has so much more, rejoins us  there in Indy. Josh?

JOSH ELLIOTT: That's right, Robin. Tim Tebow, of course, one of the most decorated and celebrated college football players of all time. But, there were questions as to whether his game would translate to the professional level. Well, this year, with win after improbable win, he answered those questions, even as his celebrations raised others. He is the man behind the miracle season.

ANNOUNCER: They win it on the first play of overtime!

ELLIOTT: Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, hailed for a string of improbable wins and so beloved, his name and the signature celebration of prayer have become a verb. Tebowing. Transcending football. Done by crowds across the globe, even under the sea. But also drawing criticism from some corners. Some saying Tim Tebow has made his faith too visible. Something he's now addressing in an interview with Skip Bayless of our sister network, ESPN.

SKIP BAYLESS: I think you saw the Saturday Night Live skit.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, JESUS: I, Jesus Christ, am indeed the reason you won the past six football games.

"TIM TEBOW": I knew it!

"JESUS": Oh, Tim, easy, easy.

BAYLESS: How much of a role does God play in winning or losing a football game?

TIM TEBOW: I mean, that's a good question. I think, for me, when I'm praying before games and during game, when I get on a knee in what's become Tebowing is, you know, I'm asking the Lord for strength whether I win or lose, hero or goat, I'm still going to be the same person. I'm going to treat others the way I want to be treated. I'm going do my best and I'm going to do what's right. Part of taking a knee is humbling yourself and putting the Lord first and that's why I do it.

BAYLESS: Your faith is the biggest reason you're such an astonishingly polarizing figure, a divisive figure in the country.

TEBOW: I'm sure my faith has- is a part of that. And I'm thankful for the support I've received. You're always going to have critics. I've always have them and I'll always have them for the future. And I'll use that as motivation. But more than anything, the support is what drives me the most.

ELLIOTT: Another motivation, one day making passes here in the biggest of games. But until then, he's left only to make predictions.

TEBOW: I think it will be a close game. But it's also hard to go against Tom Brady, as I found out. He's pretty good. And, um, you know, if I had to choose, I would probably go with the Patriots in a close one.

ELLIOTT: And, of course, you can see much more of Tim Tebow's with Skip, today, ten eastern this morning on ESPN 2's First Take. Robin?
