As sure as Christmas comes once a year, so do the morons claiming that there is a war on Christmas. Led this year by Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and Gretchen Carlson, the true war is between these blowhards and reality. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at GoLeft TV, and we hope you enjoy this special Christmas Media Moron poem:


T’was the night before Christmas,
And shakin in their shoes,
Spewing hatred and lies,
Were the folks at Fox News.

“There’s a war on Christmas!”,
Shouted Bill O’Reilly,
Being the skeptic I am,
I doubted this highly.

They’ll remove all our trees!,
Said the shrill Fox & Friends,
I guess atheists and Christians,
Will never make amends.

Sitting up in his chair,
Looking dazed and confused,
O’Reilly continued,
Our holiday we will lose!

“There’s no war on Christmas!”
I shout at my screen,
This cat named O’Reilly,
Gets marked down as mean.

And Gretchen, though pretty,
She’s still quite insane,
As for Doocy and Kilmeade,
They still need a brain.

You now get the point,
There’s no need to go on,
That’s why all of Fox News,
Is my media moron.

1. Very cute, and extremely appropriate!! Merry Christmas!!

Go Left TV is one sound rock of sanity. The other end of the spectrum is the propaganda network where the total nest of loons are just plain nuts.

2. Funny.... I was just coming to post this email I just received from my

sister-in-law. UGH! Crazy.

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,
not Happy Holiday !*


Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the
holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is ‘The Reason’ for the Christ-mas Season!
If you agree please forward, if not, simply delete.

3. I feel your pain

I am embedded in a right wing fundy family and the topic of the elimination of "Christmas" always comes up at least once during the holiday get-togethers.

Its like a massive "Boy who cried wolf" syndrome every year except there never will be any wolf that sweeps down and takes away the word Christmas. All you hear is dimwitted pundits screaming about this 'war on Christmas' and never do you have footage of a person or organization that states they are for the elimination of Christmas. The only 'sinners' I have heard mentioned are some major store chains and the idea that a store uses "happy holidays" instead of "merry Christmas" is purely a capitalistic move, to appeal to the broadest target base possible. It does not mean that the owners of the store are evil satan worshiping grinches who are out to blot out Christmas.

I do not go to church or follow the fundamentalist christian beliefs like a lot of the rest of my extended family, but I do NOT want the word Christmas eliminated. That word has come to mean not 'just' Christ's birthday (which scholars say is not even accurate), but includes all the pagan and other rituals it has adopted like christmas trees, jack frost, mistletoe, Santa Claus, stockings, etc..It has become a once-a-year reminder to all that humans can actually be nice to each other if we only try, even for just a few days a year. Like the word Xerox was unsurped or Google, the word has been redefined and co-opted into something else. And THAT is the real reason why the fundies are angry, not that the word will be eliminated but that it has to be shared. The inclusiveness of this new definition. They are a selfish lot that feels entitled to the word as their own (similar to the word marriage). Too bad, so sad. Its not just their word anymore. It's all of ours.

Merry Christmas all!
