A recent study by the National Alliance to End Homelessness reported that there are roughly 200,000 homeless veterans in the US. FOX's Bill O'Reilly claims that this is a lie and that there are no homeless veterans.

After excluding their candidate from recent debates, an angry mob of Ron Paul supporters chased down Fox "News" presenter Sean Hannity, chanting "Fox News sucks!"
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the fastest growing religion in the world. A chapter opened up at Missouri State University & it is now the second largest religious group on campus.
Conservative wing-nuts are at it again. Ever since General Petraeus called for the "surge" to continue for another year, whacked-out republicans have been defending the need for more dead Americans.
First to volunteer everyone but himself, FOX's Bill O'Reilly. His comments, that 1000 more dead soldiers was completely reasonable, garnered him the top spot on Countdown's Worst Person in the World tally:
Next up to talk out of his asshole, Congressman John Boehner (R-OH), who joined Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Situation Room. He claims that the blood of American soldiers is a "small price" to pay. No word on whether Rep. Boehner will be offering up any of his loved one's for the sacrifice:
And finally - topping even the craziest of the crazies - Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bycofsky, who published an editorial last month entitled, To Save America, We Need Another 9/11. He even went so far as to offer terrorists a list of American monuments for them to target, like the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Rushmore. Stephen Colbert suggested another option in this segment of The Word - Re-Run:
Unless and until these Republican sociopaths are ready to lay down their own lives in defense of their political policies, they really need to shut the fuck up.
TPMTV has put together a highlight reel from last night's Republican Debate. Goes pretty much how you expect it would: posturing, rhetoric, false claims and chicken hawkery. FOX's own polls show that underdog/whipping boy Ron Paul was the winner. But the best part of the whole clip comes in the final 20 seconds. Worth watching just for that alone.
And the winner is... FOX's own John Gibson for saying this country needs another 9/11.
Another 9/11?
As someone who lives just across town from the 6-year-old crater that once was the glorious Twin Towers, may I be the first to recommend John Gibson's neighborhood as the site of the next 9/11.
So, White House Press Secretary, and former FOX "News" anchor, Tony Snow is on his way out, sighting a need for more money. But with a salary over $160,000 + full benefits, that's about as hard to swallow as anything else he's said on the job.
Goverment agencies, major corporations and news organizations (FOX!) are editing unfavorable facts about themselves in entries on Wikipedia. And they got caught.
Brave New Films has a new video exposing the lies and propaganda that FOX opinion media has spread about progressive bloggers. Sign up to participate in the campaign to alert FOX advertisers about what their ad dollars are supporting.
Remember how in the Fox Republican Debate, back on May 15th, the Fox anchormen asked Congressman Ron Paul if he was running for the election of the wrong political party, cause he believes that America has shitty foreign policy, and then Rudy Giuliani opened his big fat trap and said something really fuckin' stupid, and then every idiot on the TV set repeated the same piece of stupidity...?
Well, some bright person out there in the internets has put together this two-part video that sheds light on the media coverage and false accusations surrounding the event. It is shameful how over-represented and over-glorified the far right lunatic fringe is in our country...
In this edition of Countdown's Worst Person in the World, the title goes to repeat champion Bill O'Reilly for claiming that Washington, DC is being overrun by lesbian gangs. Bill also manages to be his own runner-up.
