FOX "News" Lies Again

There are some certainties in this world. Celebrities will do stupid things. Mitt Romney will flip-flop. And FOX "News" will flagrantly, obviously lie.

They've created a fictional version of President Obama who's a Kenyan Muslim Socialist Marxist Maoist Statist, whose personal goal is to destroy America. It's crazy.
