Fox news, Palin and other far right nutcases have been ridiculing president Obama for not having "merry christmas" or any other chirstmas related items on his holiday card, and trying to smear him for this as being a muslim.
In a showing of complete hypocrisy, neither does fox news.


Their card interestingly has nothing related to christmas on it at all. The funny thing, is the card depicts a fox being pulled the strongest by it's sheep (hmmmmm )

Now using fox logic, that would mean fox news themselves are radical muslims! aaaahh!

For many years it has been the practice of the White House to send out nondenominational cards. Reagan did it, Bush did it, and nobody made a peep. He's the president of all Americans, not just Christians. Many faiths have festivals or holidays at this time of year. Should they feel excluded? This is such a non-issue.

I just have to wonder if those that make these accusations know how truly stupid they sound? I guess not because it just goes on ad nauseum. And that's the really frightening thing for me--that there are people out there crazy enough to think/feel this way (when it was fine a few years ago) AND they don't even have the good sense to limit it to discussion around the dinner table. At least, back in the day, stupid, ignorant bigots knew to keep their mouths shut. They've apparently lost that one last civilized skill.

Eh, Faux News a joke. The great thing about an audience that wants to believe the hate that the network spouts is that they don't really care about facts, consistency, or even sanity. I guess there needs to be a TV show for those between being mentally disabled and average intelligence.

And MSNBC criticized Palin for the same exact thing. Where was the left wing outrage?
