I do not celebrate the Christian seasonal ceremonies, although I think the lights are very pretty, albeit a bit garish. To me, the Winter Solstice has a lot more meaning, but if you want to call it Christmas, that's fine in my book.

But that's neither hyar nor thar with FOX douchebags such as O'Reilly, who, a few years ago, found himself a Cause to pursue.

That's right folks, the War on Christmas has lived to bluster another day! And it's even better than yesterday's 'cause now the low-life atheists are ruthlessly tormenting a *gasp* baby -- oh the humanity!
O’Reilly: ‘How do you sell atheism by running down a baby?’


By Stephen C. Webster

Every year, the so-called "war on Christmas" gets more and more absurd. This year, the man who arguably created said "war" is making sure to take the rhetoric to record levels of absurdity.

"How do you sell atheism by running down a baby?" he asked during a Dec. 3, 2009 broadcast, discussing a pro-atheism advertisement taken out by the American Humanist Association.

Joined by fellow Fox News personalities Margaret Hoover and Gretchen Carlson, O'Reilly mocked the association's ad as "anti-God," and his guests joined suit.

"This is a direct and deliberate smear against Christianity," said Carlson. "Do you think they would do this ad in July?"

"Do you think they would do it against Allah on Ramadan?" O'Reilly asked. "I don't think so! No."

Not giving more of a rat's ass about Allah and Ramadan than I do for the Christian counterparts, I probably wouldn't bother unless confronted. Muslims do not confront me nearly as often as Christians.

I don't believe that the American general public is stupid enough to buy into O'Reilly's bluster, except in Oklahoma. They listen to him because he has a certain attraction, rather like a car crash on the freeway where the ambulance guys seem to be in no hurry.

Anyhow, we're at war again, or at least O'Reilly is. That's become the joy of his season and he's going to milk it like an eight-titted cow. I look forward to being amused as I read of his marvelous whines.

Good link, Rat, and historically sound. When you come right down to it, the season is every body's celebration and not exclusive for anybody.

The buffoon O'Reilly and his FOXnoise fellow-travelers can go piss in their collective hat.
