Further to MSNBC being an evil entity (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=456777), well Nazz gets the prize for pundit prognostication as it is indeed Keith Olbermann who slams Bullshit Bill, giving him the sweep for all three spots as Worst Person in The World! (http://mediamatters.org/items/200512010004)


KEITH OLBERMANN (host): But first, time for Countdown's list of today's three nominees for the coveted title of "Worst Person in the World."

The bronze goes to Bill O'Reilly. He has solidified in his status as this generation's Joe McCarthy. Just like the "Red Baiter," he now has his own list. His website reads: "The following media operations have regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far left Web sites." The list: the New York Daily News, the St. Petersburg Times, and MSNBC! You call it defamation, Bill. We call it precise quotes from your show.

The runner-up: Bill O'Reilly. On the Today show, no less. Now how the hell did that happen? Says, quote, "These pinheads running around going, 'Get out of Iraq now,' don't know what they're talking about. These are the same people before Hitler invaded in World War II that were saying, 'Ah, he's not such a bad guy.' " Watch. That will turn up tomorrow on his list of defamations.

But tonight's winner: Bill O'Reilly! You know this whole attack on Christmas nonsense that he made up? Some sort of fantasy in which the liberals are coming to your town to force you and your family to not call it Christmas anymore? The fantasy that we can't say "Merry Christmas," but you can only say "Happy Holidays"? The thing designed to stir up religious hatred and paranoia in this country? Guess what they're selling over at the Fox News online store? The Fox News "Holiday" ornament! And the O'Reilly Factor "Holiday" ornament. Who is trying to change "Merry Christmas" into "Happy Holidays"? Bill O'Reilly, that's who. Today's worst person in the world!



Knew we could count on ya Keith!

Did you see that Fox, after seeing O'Reilly busted on the ornament thing, changed the website to call them Christmas ornaments? Or even better, that despite O'Reilly's near constant carping on the subject, a majority of people don't believe that Christmas is under attack? (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/12/01.html#a6143)

We've got some old-ass people in this country against the war if they're the same people who were saying Hitler wasn't a bad guy before WWII.

The fact that nearly half of the people can't even open their eyes wide enough to look around and see all the fucking Christmas ornaments is pretty sad....

BEcause I'm sure not hearing a lot of Kwanza music at the mall next to Santa's display.

It's funny--my girlfriend is from south Florida, large Jewish population, large enough that my university shuts down for the High Holy Days, but we met in Arkansas at grad school. Her first Christmas there, when the city was putting up Christmas lights, she wondered aloud when the Hanukkah lights were going up--the people around us looked at her like she had a third head. Christmas is under attack, all right--by people like Michael Newdow--but it's in no danger of disappearing. Every retailer in the US is going to make sure of that.
