And Now, A Moderately Attractive Woman Shouts At O'Reilly

More "War On Christmas" Clap-Trap



I don't care for Megyn Kelly, and I loathe O'Reilly to the Nth degree. But, since Kelly used to be a lawyer, it's rather enjoyable to hear her tell him:

I've never met a non-lawyer who argues the law so confidently, albeit so wrongly

But, what O'Reilly doens't understand, the Governor isn't being mocked by the excessive signage, it's him.

He Just Can't Get It Right, Can He?

In the annual "War On Christmas", Bill O'Reilly is more than likely to focus on something completely trivial and turn it into a monster all it's own. Such is the case with the first salvo launched against Washington state's governor.

However, O'Reilly can't even seem to get it right himself.

Here's some info on his latest "quiz" available through Parade Magazine:

As the holidays near, the pace of the nation quickens. How much do you really know about this festive season? Interesting fact: Congress was in session on Christmas Day, 1789, because it had not yet been declared a holiday. Our religious traditions have always aroused political passion.

Test your holiday IQ with our quiz from Bill O'Reilly then enter for your chance to win a signed copy of his new book, A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity.

That's right, it's aHoliday Quiz.

Not a Christmas Quiz, or even a Goddammit, Isn't Baby Jesus Fuckin Sweet Quiz.

What's even funnier is the complete lack of an "Christiann" symbolism in the graphic that accompanies the quiz.

Source Of Crisis Revealed!!!

So, what is it?

Notwithstanding the cardboard Santas who seem to have arrived in stores this year near Halloween, the holiday season starts in seven days with Thanksgiving. And so it will come to pass once again that many people will spend four weeks biting on tongues lest they say "Merry Christmas" and perchance, give offense. Christmas, the holiday that dare not speak its name.

This year we celebrate the desacralized "holidays" amid what is for many unprecedented economic ruin -- fortunes halved, jobs lost, homes foreclosed. People wonder, What happened? One man's theory: A nation whose people can't say "Merry Christmas" is a nation capable of ruining its own economy.

You can see the video here

From The Wallstreet Journal. Yeah, they printed this.

You know, I can remember a time when the Wall Street Journal was a publication that was looked to as a source of economic credibility, a document with sound and solid reasoning within it's articles.

Those days are gone for good, I suppose.

O'Reilly, I Think You Missed Something

Ever the man to point out that no one is saying "Merry Christmas" apparently doesn't realize that his own reading list has become the latest victim of the secular cabal that is hell-bent on taking over everything.

Such is the case every year around this time. O'Reilly trumps up the notion that department stores are forcing their employees to not say Christmas and that random, non-religious groups, are attacking people. But, as always, once Christmas is over he declares "victory".

Here's O'Reilly's First Segment Tonight

It was this type of forward-thinking advertising that made me almost switch majors - again - in college.

- You better watch out. There is a new combatant in the Christmas wars.
Ads proclaiming, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on Washington, D.C., buses starting next week and running through December. The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.

In lifting lyrics from "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," the Washington-based group is wading into what has become a perennial debate over commercialism, religion in the public square and the meaning of Christmas.

"We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you," said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group. "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."

I'm looking for Bill O'Reilly to highlight this tonight on The Factor and starting out his faux "War On Christmas" schtick with a bang.

The interesting part of this whole ad campaign is that it highlights, quite effectively, that Christ is one of the last things that most people think about during Christmas.

Our consumerist culture has us identifying more with a fat man in a suit than God.

If we want to really get to the root of where Christmas comes from, God has about as much to do with it as Easter Eggs have to do with Jesus' resurrection. And still, every Easter we send the kids out with baskets to find hidden eggs and say "don't forget that Jesus died for you".

I think Eddie Izzard can sort this one out. The Easter bit is about 3:00mins in

What A Wonderful Way To Say Merry Christmas

Ah, yes, consumerism.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than to buy, buy, buy.

But, what if you want to show the world that you aren't just a consumer, but that you say Merry Christmas and the remainder of the Holidays spanning November to January can just fuck-off? Well, get yourself a "We Say Merry Christmas" bumper sticker.



How can you get one? Why, all you have to do is buy a copy of Bill O'Reilly's latest book that tries to convince you that he is, in fact, just one of the "folks".

Nevermind the fact that this appears to be nothing more than an expanded version of Culture Warrior and Who's Looking Out For You, you get a sticker with it!

But, that's not all you can get. Bill still peddles crap through the rest of the year too.

T-Shirts, sweat-shirts, coffee mugs, golf balls, door-mats, hats, and whatever else Bill can find space enough on to slap another label that means absolutely nothing to anyone but him.

Thank O'Reilly, for turning Merry Christmas from a festive, happy, greeting into a shrill battle-cry for people who drink Ensure for lunch and actually believe golf is a spectators sport.

As a side-note, Jason Links has pointed out:

....O'Reilly's book A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity (which we remind you is an anagram for "Shameful, Bona-Fide Hypocrite" )....

HAPPY FUCKING HOLIDAYS!!!!
