Congratulations to Fox News' Peter Johnson, Jr., for making the most ridiculous exploitation of the San Bernardino shooting.
On Fox & Friends today, Johnson claimed, "I don't want to come to any hasty conclusions at this point." But, concluding that it has to be a terror attack, he "just asked, "Is it based on politics? Is it based on religion? Is it based on hate? Is it a literal war on Christmas?"
Watch it below, from the December 3 Fox & Friends, via Media Matters.

Thanks for the props, Eyes On Fox,
I have a conservative friend who likes Fox but not Fox & Friends. She was telling me how much she hates Morning Joe and when I asked her why she watches it, she said it’s more interesting than Fox & Friends. I don’t mind F&F but I’m not usually up and at the TV and/or computer early enough.
For some reason, the Saturday “business block” shows annoy me beyond toleration. Thank God Brian usually watches them so I don’t have to. :)

Ellen,
Glad to hear your eye doctor visit went exceptionally well! Ironically, right-wingers tend to be flag-wavers and guess who wears a lot of cheap plastic thick rimmed glasses? You guessed it! The military. When I was in the Navy (late ’80s) they were standard issue to sailors needing military provided glasses. We nicknamed them “Navy birth control glasses.” ;^)
Yeah, I get you’re busy. I find it amazing your team finds the time to post as much as you do. Keep up the great work!
O’Reilly? I pity you. Seriously. His redundant shtick grew really old for me. I can’t get outraged by much of the predictable establishment Republican vomit Mr. No-Spin spews. Nor do I find it particularly interesting to wade through his dull blather for the occasional nugget you dig up.
It’s funny, I still get emails from people who get a charge from an old video I made: O’Reilly’s Greatest Fits.
Me? I prefer laugh a minute “Fox & Friends” plus watching their not so hard news ANHQ (mostly on weekends). Or the so bad it’s funny Saturday biz block which, ironically, is never much about business (not including right-wing monkey business!). If I get home from work soon enough I may tune in baby-face propagandist ‘fair, balanced, and unafraid’ Bret Baier. However, thinking of his show is motivation to work late or run errands on the way home. ;^)
So your team are life-savers in keeping me up to date on GOPTV™’s fair and balanced propaganda.
Your team deserves a medal!

Eyes on Fox, O’Reilly had a guest Wednesday night who tied the shooting to Benghazi. I hoped to post on it today but wound up spending all day going to the eye doctor in another city. Unfortunately for Goodtime Pete, who posted about us wearing thick glasses on another thread, my eyes were pronounced “perfect.” :)

This cafeteria Catholic clown should be disbarred for being an idiot. The New York State Bar Association needs to publicly denounce this fool and call him on the carpet.
He is a disgrace to all attorneys.

Hmmmm,…..an interesting symmetry. On one side nutso crazy people with imaginary grievances against institutions. On the other side an imaginary war on Christmas dreamt up by nutso crazy people.
In between, the harsh reality of full metal jacket bullets.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, “Fox & Friends” sub-genius Steve Doocy already tied San Bernardino to the seasonal Fox News War on Christmas meme. It’s only logical the parrot act would spread to all the bobble-head yahoos on the program like Peter Johnson, Jr., the ultimate twerp.
Not to mention the “Fox & Friends” comedy act has tied the San Bernardino shooting to the ‘state of feminism’ and… wait for it!… #Benghazi! Witness:

If it’s the Christmas celebrated by these pseudo-Christian perverts, where can I join the war?

The only war on Christmas is Faux News spewing hatred, intolerance, half truths, and racism during this Season of Joy and Peace.
