Christmas Warrior O'Reilly Doesn't Practice What He Preaches

Last week, I noted how Fox's Bill O'Reilly, as per usual, was kicking his annual "War On Christmas" into high gear. Each year, O'Reilly inveighs against people, especially retailers, who refuse to offer him the proper "Merry Christmas" greeting -- opting instead for the ecumenical "Happy Holidays." This is clearly threatening the fabric of our great republic! But, if you remember, we warned that parent company News Corp. was a frequent antagonist in O'Reilly's personal yuletide psychodrama, consistently using the "Happy Holidays" solicitation.

Well, O'Reilly's "War On Christmas" aggression is about to be turned inward, as soon as he discovers that he avoids using "Merry Christmas" himself! The folks over at NewsHounds capture this image from O'Reilly's own site:

OH NOES! A "Holiday Reading List?" What's with all the secular humanisting? And really, what on earth is this mention of "the winter season?" Could it be that O'Reilly is secretly worshiping Wiccan moon gods at Solstice time?

Start with getting rid of the Christmas tree and the cross. Both were pagan symbols that Christians took on

[thatonetoo]

HUH???

[TrevorAlan]

True. Not so many spruce or fir trees near Bethleham. Came from the Germans I think, more reasons for Jews to like it.

And the cross is sort of jumping ahead in the story, puts a huge downer on the whole baby thing, like saying Dumbledore gets whacked when someone starts Sorcerers Stone.

[Pupadup4oBama]

I actually find the cross to be quite a morbid symbol. Why do Christians dwell on his death rather than on his life? There is a whole part of the New Testament (of basically his life from a teenager to a young man - what happened to him during that time.

orally = gasbag

[ilikemusic]

Huff post you shouldnt be making light of the war on Christmas.

Ive lost two very clost friends in the culture war and my brother is down there on the front lines right now.

;)

[MsYellowDog]

Yes,I haven't been the same since a liberal hit me in the head with a "Happy Holidays" last year! I have scarcely been out of my bed all year, I was so badly injured in The War On Christmas.

[bubbuh]

A brio festivus to all and to all a great flight!.

By the way, the best way to fix some people is either to ugnore them or to geld them.

[YellowDogInRedCounty]

FESTIVUS! A holiday for the rest of us!

[MASHON]

Thank you bubbuh, for the laugh and the suggestion.

[jena132]

Uh, yeah - this is the biggest our "news" casters should be talking about............and when talking about O'Reilly, I used the term newscaster loosely.

[canucklivinginUSA]

He needs to drop the Fleur De Lys symbol of his website or Quebec and France will sue him. On the other hand, he should keep it

[LemonMeringue]

Fox just insults Americans more and more every single day.

What a flapping tool O'Reilly is. He cannot even think of a new subject.

[ChiGuy]

Does anyone else see it?
In any film or stage production of "A Christmas Carol", wouldn't O'Really embody the role of Scrooge?

I smell OSCAR!!!!!!

[NextYearLions]

I wonder if I can get a signed copy of some of his favorites if I bring them to his next book signing and sy the secret phrase, either "We Say Merry Christmas", or "You Are A GREAT American!"

[LemonMeringue]

Mr. Felafel ought to clean the snow off his own porch before complaining about his neighbors' tiles.

[LemonMeringue]

"War against Christmas."

What idiot coined that phrase? Why do the Christians fall in love every time someone uses the word "war?"

war on drugs
war on terror
war on Christmas

Maybe we come up with "war on war" and finally get peace, with their support.

[realityczech4u]

Yes indeed. Universal peace.
Drugs for everyone.
Terror for everyone.
Christmas for everyone.

[Pupadup4oBama]

First two yes...last two - not so much.

[Innisfail]

Puh-leez - that should be "Wiccan moon GodDESSES". (P.S. If O'Reilly's into Wicca, I'm getting out. :) )

[fedupinfla]

The best thing about the holidays is watching Ralphie trying to get a Red Ryder bb gun...Everything else annoys me.

[Pupadup4oBama]

I like watching George running through Bedford Falls in the snow kissing everything.

[ccmd]

good ole republican values

[vippy]

I was hoping we finally do away with Christmas. It is a sham anymore, buy and buy and buy junk.
By now everyone has what they need and it is such a waste of money to run and buy some more.
Make it a 2 day holiday with family without this "giving" of mass produced items. Christmas always
brought out the worst in shoppers.

[sunshinerain]

Idea: Donate money for saving polar bears instead of presents under the tree.

[BSERIUS]

save the polar bears from what?

[solopico]

I'm more in favor of working a soup kitchen for a day, and donating to 'Packages From Home'.
