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?

the simple fact that OReilly thinks a Christian holiday depends on retailers' slogans and advertising speaks volumes about the sham world of consumerism that he wallows in...

[Georgiamitch]

that's funny.

[Hemkit]

Shouldn't his war be "for Christmas" not "on Christmas.­" It sounds like BOR is a tad bit confused, par for the course.

Bill O is just another one of those sock puppets talking out both sides of his mouth.
WHO cares what he thinks, says, or does. He dosen't give a sh*t about anything other than his ratings and his pocketbook.

[ToughEnough]

Same can be said about some of the leftys. Nice try Sh*tless.

[realityczech4u]

Who cares what he thinks, says, or does? Apparently "schicklett3" cares or wouldn't be commenting on him.

[PimpOmega]

What Bill?! No Mein Kampf on your reading list for our Christian homeland?

[mredder4]

Whle technically true, this is a weak argument.

[BSERIUS]

so in the last two days Jaxon, you have ripped into Billy RAy Cirrus and a charity that has pumped; millions into the education of kids of slain or injured soldiers and now you attack Christmas.­.. What next? Go after Mark Kirk and Peter Roskam for their efforts on behalf of the military? Or write an article about Rush and his Lukemia charity...­.

He's going after their hypocrisy

[solopico]

Interesting - because if someone from the right were to mention the hate and violence being shown by gays over Prop 8 (as they preach tolerance) that person would be called a bigot.

Interesting how hypocrisy plays only where the left sees fit.

[Ajegunle]

AND HE CALLS HIMSELF A "CHRISTIAN­"........

WHAT A HYPOCRITE.

[roblabrousse]

If you take a peek at how some Christians have behaved over the course of time, being called a Christian could almost be considered an insult.

[JScott]

It's all about generating MONEY!!!!

[Twopennygal]

And what about us who don't celebrate christmas? How does he think we feel when christmas is shoved down our throats every year? I'm getting really tired of the christian right's thinking that they are the only religion in this country that counts!

[JimR]

It's not the Christian right, it's the retailers. They start earlier and earlier each year with their message of spend, spend, spend!

It's only November 18th and I'm already sick of Christmas.

[Jeff1958]

Psst... it's November 19th, one day closer to January 20th!

[RobinLandseadel]

On November 1st, All Saints Day, my local supermarket started pumping out super-secular XMAS songs via the overhead PA. It was downright Orwellian.

In essence Christmas is a pretty holiday. HARMLESS. When I was a young Catholic boy I liked the idea of celebrating a birthday. To make sacred the idea of a child being born. Most of the Christian story got mucked up. Being good to one another, have love for our fellow human, all the do good philosophy made sense. The franchising of God makes me sick. If in fact there is a God. SO nowadays I enjoy the fantasy and pretty side of the season. If you ever lived in a cold zone like the northeast you can appreciate how much it casts the gloom away. Decorating our lives during these types of holidays or observations is human. Christmas has lost a lot of its' religious side. So now it provides Christian non-Christian business men around the world economic opportunity. It's the total perversion of what its' namesake stood for.It also replaced the Wicca holiday of Yul. Not to mention a lot of traditional decoration. So until another showy and colorful holiday replaces Christmas, think of it as a non-dimensional moneymaker that crosses over all racial boundaries. And celebrate the fact that it probably assists you in some way economically to celebrate your holidays when they come along.

The problem with Christian thinking is that it isn't humble. It's the most flagrant display of conceit. And the biggest betrayal of Jesus since Judas. Also ,it's just out dated.

[thegonzogirl]
