Crooks & Liars: "FOXNews’ John Gibson: Bush Saved The Homeless, Won Iraq And Gave You A Job"
FOXNews’ John Gibson: Bush Saved The Homeless, Won Iraq And Gave You A Job

By: Logan Murphy on Thursday, November 8th, 2007 at 4:32 PM - PST



So STFU you stupid libs, and get to reporting the GOOD news about George W. Bush. If it weren’t for you dirty f*cking hippies reporting the truth, President Bush’s approval ratings would be skyrocketing by now — at least that’s what FOXNews’ John Gibson wants his fringe fans to believe. Note the source-free “published report” on homelessness and the “be good little Germans” tone to his writing.

So are doubts about all this good news the reason that Bush’s disapproval numbers are so high? I don’t think so. I think it is instead the tide of bad news turning to better or — dare I say it — good news isn’t discussed in the media. Instead it’s a constant drumbeat of things are bad, we’re losing the war, you’re going to lose your job and your house.

On yet another front, a published report today said that homelessness is virtually over. People may have crushing mortgages, but they have homes.

So all in all, the war is going in our favor. Proof of that is that Democrats have shut up about it. Bush has made sure you have a job, and this economy has insured you have a home.


I don’t normally link to FOXNews’ website, but this article is so absurd, and I did come down on Gibby for his lack of sources so I figured I would go ahead and link it just to be on the safe side. I would hate for anyone to think I could ever make up garbage like this. You can read the rest of the article and fact check said garbage……………. here.

1. Homelessness is virtually over?
Maybe in the neighborhood where this rich asshole lives, certainly not in mine.

2. Come to downtown Cleveland sometime, FrankenHeadroom.
You'll see how many people don't have jobs or beds.

It's pretty sad when the media propaganda masters on V for Vendetta don't hold a candle of insufferability to their real-life counterparts.

4. If the German media was as the US media is today
We'd all be speaking German as the default language ... and Goebbels would have been deified ...

3. I think I'm going to be sick. The sad point is that people believe
it. My husband drove to FL from our home here in TX the last few days....over 26 hundred miles. The two nights he spent in a motel he could only get FOX for news! It's no wonder this country is so screwed up! When that's all you hear, what would you believe?

5. Why in the hell would anyone trust the judgement of a guy who
thinks his hair looks good like that? If he can't handle a small thing like his 'do, he surely can't handle the tough stuff (obviously).

6. Chocolate rations up 39%, hunt for Goldstein continues...
This is the koolaid du jour. And our glorious forces have triumphed over the godless Soviets at Stalingrad, and are even now on their way to victory for the German Race Amerikan people!
