Ambassador John Bolton, one of the Fox Newsies who have accused Hillary Clinton of faking her concussion to avoid testifying about Benghazi, was asked on America Live yesterday if he wanted to "amend" his comments or "take that back." In a word, no, he did not.,

Besides the obvious – President Obama's re-election – 2012 was a year full of failed Fox News memes. We list the ones we thought the top eight. Feel free to add your own in our comments section.

It's bad enough that Fox News, the official network for the War on  Christmas, has committed absolute and utter heresy in their use of the profane "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas" in articles, video titles, and as visual content. This obscenity was even uttered by Fox's Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity. And while Fox's resident bible thumper, Mike Huckabee, was very careful to use the prescribed "Merry Christmas" during his Christmas whine message, he committed what Bill O'Reilly has said is the most grievous sin of all, y'all. The ad for Huckabee's radio show, on his website, says - wait for it - "Happy Holidays from the Mike Huckabee Radio Show." To make matters worse, on the "commentary transcription page" for December 24th, Huckabee wishes everyone a - wait for it - "Happy Holidays, America." What say you Bill O'Reilly!

We've got it live, after the jump.

Ah, President Obama- Is there anything that the Foxiverse can’t blame on him? Apparently not, because it seems that even GOP infighting over the fiscal cliff is now his fault. That's what contributor Charles Krauthammer told us on the December 27th Hannity.  Ever willing to find new ways to smear the president, Sean Hannity was more than willing to let him.

Remember how Fox Newsies sneered about Hillary Clinton's "fake" concussion - made up so she could get out of testifying about Benghazi? Well, she must have done a heckuva job faking it because now she has been hospitalized with a blood clot that doctors think was caused by the concussion.

After viewing Jesus BFF Mike Huckabee's not so inspirational Christmas message which, like his follow-up to his Newtown-was-caused-by-godless-Americans comment, was really an attack on godless Americans, there should be no question as to why more and more Americans are losing their religion! Rather than follow the supposedly Christian admonition to "turn the other cheek," minister Huckabee used his Fox News platform to further the Fox News war on Christmas by whining about and disparaging those whose alleged Christmas hatred is really, according to Huckabee, about their hatred of Jesus. But for Huckabee, fighting alleged and unspecified assaults on Jesus is just dandy because it allows him, and his Christmas crusaders, to wallow in a sense of Christian persecution and thus feel vindicated because they know that - ready for it - these evil doers hate Christmas because they really fear and loathe Jesus.

On the December 28th Your World, guest host Eric Bolling complained that Republicans are always getting tarred as obstructionists while the Democrats  seem to get a free pass." To debate the "issue," he brought on Democratic strategist Mark Hannah and conservative Michelle Fields. Hannah urged a "balanced approach" while Fields sneered that we've already gone over the fiscal cliff so we just allow the deadline to expire. Predictably, the irony was lost on Bolling.

Fox News wingnut Ralph Peters visited The O’Reilly Factor last night to discuss an unsubstantiated report that the four State Department officials who resigned in the wake of an investigation into the Benghazi attacks still have jobs. As I noted in a post I did on Crooks and Liars about this, there may well be regulations about how the Department has to go about disciplining and removing employees but Fox, Peters and guest host Greg Gutfeld apparently did the same amount of research into that point as they did into confirming the report. In other words, none.

In case you need any more reasons to boycott Arizona, here’s another one. Sheriff Joe Arpaio – a poster child for why Latinos shun Republicans - is salivating at the thought of putting armed posses in Arizona’s public schools. Naturally, Fox host Eric Bolling likes the idea.
