After Time Magazine placed Rosie O'Donnell on their list of the world's 100 most influential people this week, Fox News host John Gibson was livid.

Referring to O'Donnell as "our favorite loudmouth," Gibson said, "She's been named one of Time Magazine's one hundred most influential people in the world. That's right, the most influential in the world. This is the same women who spends a large part of her air time, on 'The View,' bashing the president and his administration."

According to Gibson, Rosie's influence is "rubbing off."

Cutting to a clip of the recent reunion show of the politically-minded rock group 'Rage Against the Machine,' he said the band "got together again to join the Bush-bashing party."

Citing incendiary 'Rage' lyrics that call for the president to be "hung, and tried, and shot" Gibson made the claim, "These radical lefties not only want the president impeached, they want him dead."

Later in the report, Fox News ran a graphic banner posing the question: "Did radical-lefty Rosie influence 'Rage Against the Machine?'"
