TYT: Anti-Christmas Atheist War Gangs Psychoanalyzed On Bill O’Reilly



"Is it a coincidence that both Bill O’Reilly and the man who has spent the last nine years mocking him night after night on national television both launched their respective wars on Christmas last night?

First, O’Reilly kicked off his segment by calling out the “War on Christmas-deniers” who accuse him of making up a non-existent crusade against America’s most popular December holiday. He pointed to a billboard urging people to “skip church” this Christmas as the first example of the atheist plan to “diminish” the celebration.

He invited “agnostic” psychotherapist Karen Ruskin to explain to him why anyone would want to hurt Christmas in this way. In her opinion, atheists in the minority are trying to push their message to the masses in order to “validate” their own views. She agreed with O’Reilly that these efforts are “horrifically insulting” and “really disrespectful” to Christians."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

I absolutely HATE it when women with opinions are characterized as"shrill." This woman however, is..."strident" (?) First time on TV? Her over emphasis in enunciating and hand gestures were very annoying. I'm agnostic myself, and doubt that any true "agnostic" would jump on the silly O'Reilly "War on Christmas," bandwagon.
