Greta Van Susteren Hypes Phony Postal Service War On Christmas

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on November 27, 2013 · Flag

Greta Van Susteren posted a poll "just asking" if her Fox News blog readers are "appalled" that the U.S. Postal Service excludes the word "Christmas" from stamps. Or "is the gingerbread house enough?" she asked, as an (obviously less attractive) alternative. There's just one catch. Christmas was not excluded. (H/T reader Stan)

Van Susteren and her readers must have missed this stamp:

And this one:

This one, too.

But not surprisingly, more than 96% of her readers (at the time I am writing this) who voted were appalled. 

But that wasn't enough for the cesspool of hate that pretends to love America, aka Fox Nation. They are throwing a hissy fit over the fact that an ad for the holiday stamps included the gingerbread house and nothing that says "Christmas." Even though, as the Postal Service has explained, the ad featured new stamps. The Christmas stamps were issued earlier.

I'm tempted to tell these Christmas crusaders to go sit in a corner and pout. But I have come to believe that hate mongering, divisiveness and making the world a little more miserable for anyone they dislike or disagree with politically is exactly their idea of a Merry Christmas.

@ Ellis Redding Hey Ellis — are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you didn’t mean a 5.0 IQ??

You know, Fox News has been caught in so many stories that they flat made up lately, that I think we should start a weekly contest for the worst one. Worst lie, worst reason to lie, worst thing they lied about..

No shortage of entries.

So nice to know Greta and her producers continue with their old tricks at their new timeslot. Seriously, this woman is just a prostitute because she may be a bit dim, but she knows better than this kind of crap.

And as Laurajean points out, she’s a Scientologist, for crying out loud, so she’s pimping for a prejudice she doesn’t even believe in.

Do Scientologists even believe in Christmas?. If not, isnt that a little unprincipled of GVS?. Sell out your religion to please the boss…

Van Suckup squealed: At Fux Noise, we don’t merely report the news. We make shit up, as a Florida Court of Appeals ruled we could.

There, truman, fixed it for you.

Doors, the Fox “News” frauds will never do a War on Thanksgiving. They are afraid of upsetting and losing their sponsors who spend millions of dollars in advertising with News Corporation. In other words, fear of loss ad revenue.

The sales department would not be a happy camper, especially those who make commission off of these ad placements.

From doors17’s comment:

“I’m not hearing a peep of outrage from the self proclaimed network and party of family values.”

That’s because the ONLY values they’ll EVER be concerned about are the values of the following:

1. NIELSEN RATINGS
2. THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE
3. THEIR DIVIDEND CHECKS

’Nuff said.

Greta how about a poll asking your viewers if they’re appalled of having retail employees working on Thanksgiving while the corporate executives will be at home and await their servants to prepare their meals.

I’m not hearing a peep of outrage from the self proclaimed network and party of family values.
