Who will tell O’Reilly and Gibson?

Who will tell O’Reilly and Gibson?

No mention of “Christmas” anywhere in the White House Christmas card. Just “best wishes for a holiday season of hope and happiness.”

    O’Reilly and Gibson are too busy giving out falafel and “five in the noggin” too worry.

    By the way, the ideal Xmas gift for O’Reilly?

    A video editing system.

    I was thinking maybe a felafel-shaped condom for O’Lielly.
    Better yet, a voice box and a plane ticket to Aruba for former Fox now MSNBC ditz Rita Cosby.



  7. Tank says:

    Hey thanks for reminding us that defense of Christmas was an important issue that deserves the attention of adults.

    Man if I didn’t have you to remind me what the big issues are I’d have to read the GOP talking points or watch Fox. Thanks Thinkprogress.

    Hope and happiness. America, f**k yah! Come’n to save the day…

    Not with this regime.

    The word “Christmas” has been taken out of all scripts as the new pronunciation of it is “Fitzmas”. Bushie don’t like that wonderful, joyful, hopeful, happy word.

    Merry Fitzmas to you!


  11. . says:

    It still beats the card I got from the Clintons while they were in the White House. Mine had some mysterious white goo dripping from it.


  12. Randy says:

    Susan,

    Didn’t you get the memo? Fitmas was cancelled you stupid bitch. Don’t you just wish there was a dem in the WH to send out the Christmas cards. Keep wishing honey, cause it ain’t going happen for a very long time.


  13. ' says:

    “.” is queer for sure, like most of the right. Any chance you can all get together and start the new gay Army. Randy is in for sure, he’s got the swishy name already.

    You sound a little peeved Randy.
    Having a bad day, week, month, year maybe?


  17. freedom is not free! says:

    God is watching us, From a Distance.
    Testing our Freedoms.
    of course, we will lose.


  18. JIMBO says:

    Randy,

    Lay off the caffiene. Go to scooter’s house and have some fun with some caged bears.

    Oh, and a Merry Fitzmas to you, little boy! :)


  19. JIMBO says:

    Susan,

    Don’t you think it’s time for poor Randy to get out of mama’s basement and to get himself, we’ll it rhymes with paid?

    Merry Fitzmas!

    JIMBO,

    Randy has never been a man since his divorce. Typical redstate anxious masculinity.

    Hey randy, go read this interview, it describes you to a tee.

    Yep, that’s an accurate description of most republican perverts.


  22. Rich McVey says:

    Who in the White House is behind this godless conspiracy? Is this a Rove conspiracy gone wrong in the distraction of the Plame case?


  23. danny k says:

    It’s Christmas and liberals need to get over it. The country is turning back to it’s roots while you people are busy sympathizing with our worst enemies.

    AND after a sizzling week of economic reports, it’s going to be a very Merry Christmas for the GOP. Sorry guys, maybe next year we’ll have a Great Depression for you to exploit!!! LOSERS!


  24. bzl says:

    Well i guess they don’t want to offend Perle, Abrams, Feith Wolfowitz and the rest of the Jewish neocon cabal.


  25. gun toting liberal says:

    If anger were money you’d all be rich. Right wingers, if you want the word Christmas back in the holiday scheme, start with your own golden boy and let the Prez know to call the season what you think it should be called.

    I happen to agree with the president that the word Christmas has no place in a white house holiday greeting card, so I’m happy about it. Apparently, as you are unwilling to use an open mind and criticize the president when he doesn’t match your rhetoric, you are too.


  26. danny k says:

    #26 – Merry Christmas. It will be even merrier when Alito is seated on the Court. Then, the left’s anti-Christian social agenda will be dead.


  27. Pablo in Mexico says:

    These reichwing neocon idiots are not going to be too happy when they finally get around to reading todays news.

    Prosecutors are offering Abramoff deals to roll over on all of the reichwing politicians who accepted his bribes and committed other offenses.

    They are after the poiticians. It is better to get rid of a bunsh of thieves, rather than just one. About 30 pukes and one dem are involved with Abramoff and will keep the judiciary busy until after the 2008 elections. Of course DeLay will raise millions to buy all the judges that he can.Cheney and Bush will both help.

    When Abramoff gets done spilling his guts say goodbye to King George. There is a personal relationship there.


  28. Joe Sixpack says:

    Thanks for the support, danny k,#24, as us rightwingers need all the help we can get. But your feeble attempt at trying to rally support for the party isn’t working, pinhead (to use ann “O’Reilly” term).

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but evidently you ain’t reading the polls. Even a drunk like me knows that all good parties come to an end. The host has passed out. His buddies have long since headed for the door, taking what beer is left, with them. I mean, you need to get our head out of Fox’s ass and look around, pal.

    Hey, how do you like that stupid-assed pencil-dick “.” up in #12? Is his tired shit lame or what?


  29. danny k says:

    Joe Sixpack – polls mean shit in today’s political environment. Bush just needs to stay at 45% approval and the GOP gains. Does that bother you? LOL!

    The right is dismantling liberalism as we know it and Bush can’t even get majority support. WHY? Because Americans HATE the anti-Christian, pro-terror left. People like Nancy Pelosi and lying Howard Dean are the Republican’s best friend.

  31. Tigris Lily says:

    #24–it isn’t liberals who are sympathizing with the enemy. Our worst enemies are the radical right neocons whose goal is to dismantle the constitution and return our nation to tyranny.


  32. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    #32 – that is false. The biggest threat to America is liberalism. They hate our traditions and values. That is why you have no power.


  33. T-Mac says:

    #33-We hate conservative values and traditions because they are racist, elitist, and down right mean spirtied.
    Remember, torture is a conservative value. Just ask Dick.


  34. Jeff says:

    #33 “our traditions and values” — when were you assigned the job of picking our traditions and values. Typical reich-winger.


  35. Tigris Lily says:

    #33–How can liberalism be a threat to democracy? Were it not for our very liberal minded founding fathers, there would be no United States of America and we would be singing “God Save the Queen”. The hallmark of liberalism is tolerance–tolerating all viewpoints, all religions, all races, all people. The likes of Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere and others stood up against the intolerance of the right wing tyrannical monarchy of King George. We liberals have had to fight the intolerance and bigotry of the right ever since. We may be holding on by a thread, but we will prevail, as did the founders of our democracy.

    I am aware that it is Christmas, as are most people in this thread. But the topic is that the White House’s Christmas cards do not have the word “Christmas” on them. Are you calling the White House “liberal”?

    The country is turning back to it’s roots while you people are busy sympathizing with our worst enemies.
    Comment by danny k — December 2, 2005 @ 9:34 am

    What are you talking about? What roots? Back to the slavery days? Or the “kill them injan” days?

    Sorry guys, maybe next year we’ll have a Great Depression for you to exploit!!! LOSERS!

    With the “war on terror” costing ever more money, the US is likely to fall into a recession:

    AND after a sizzling week of economic reports, it’s going to be a very Merry Christmas for the GOP.
    Comment by danny k — December 2, 2005 @ 9:34 am

    Again, according to the White House, this is a “holiday season of hope and happiness”.

    Very Merry Holiday Season of Hope and Happiness to you too.

    The War on Christmas

    The War on Christmas has begun in earnest this season. It turns out that this war has a long history. In fact, it goes back to 3000BC


  38. Tank says:

    Wow, we got ourselves a pretty juvenile crowd here tonight, huh?

    You are posting a comment to a story about Christmas being cancelled.
    I’d say this blog’s editors are writing for a pretty juvenile crowd every day of the week.
