Hey man, I got to say about the 'war on christmas' ...
... these are some of the funniest reviews i've ever read - I hope I won't be crucified (yuk-yuk) by you corporate-hating leftist wierdos for posting what amounts to an amazon ad:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/1595230165/ref=cm_rev_sort/002-3232853-9773601?customer-reviews.sort_by=-HelpfulVotes&s=books&x=12&y=6

kick this if you like, it may encourage others to follow suit.

2. This was my favorite
"While many would rise to defend Rudolph by ascribing his popularity to the love Americans have for the underdog, I think there is something more sinister at work here, the siren call of homosexuality."

:rofl:

I think Sam Sedar did something like this on his show a few months ago.

4. I wrote one just for fun. this guy is truly a tool. Its already up.
So the Libs are trying to ban the colors red and green?? Maybe John is in a Rush Limbaugh drug induced haze or a george bush kool-aide sugar high to even suggest something so blatantly STUPID. I guess he has a target audience for his mindless dribble. I think we ought to forget about the other problems this country faces and get right on this travesty that the democrats seem to be forcing onto the American people? I think John Gibson needs to spend more time doing what he does best, polishing DUBYAS helmet, and stop attempting to write a book that should be in the bottom pit section of a campsite outhouse. This book truly deserves to be ripped up page by page and used for buttwipe.

Taguba.

5. O'Reilly's meme from last year
I always thought O'Reilly was an angel of the Anti-Christ, and that Bush was the anti-Christ.

6. I liked this one:
Curses! I knew this would happen, I told my fellow liberals just last week that John Gibson was on to us. We were at our bisexual-bimonthly wife swapping homosexual communist and Hollywood liberal elite wine and cheese mixer, discussing "Project: Crush Xmas". Just before the Christian baby sacrifice, I turned to Al Franken and said, "We have to be careful, that Gibson's a sharp one. He's going to blow our evil plot to destroy Christmas wide open if we're not careful!"

Franken gave his trademark chuckle, and continued his retelling of a particularly graphic anti-American limerick to Barbara Streisand and Michael Moore. Now that Gibson's devastating analysis of liberal evil has threatened to expose all democrat people like myself for traitors that we are, I will have no choice but to collect my Ikea furniture, hop in my special BioDiesel Hybrid hippy bus, and drive to Europe where my boyfriend and I will be safe. Curses, foiled again!

7. man
those cracked me up, I was trying to read them to my wife and couldn't stop laughing. I know there are some pretty good "reviewers" here that will be able to add some "insightful" information for potential purchasers.

9. This one is hilarious!
Hatred of your fellow Americans - it's the reason for the season!, October 20, 2005


Reviewer:
Jennifer (Little Rock) - See all my reviews
Mr. Gibson is right - for far too long, Christmas has been all mucked up with silly liberal ideas like "peace on Earth, goodwill towards men," while all decent God-fearing Fox newscasters know that it's really supposed to be all about celebrating the fact that Jesus likes some people (rich ones) a whole lot better than other people (poor ones). What better than a Christmas season marked by orgiastic consumption of consumer goods produced and marketed by reliable conservative-supporting corporations to remind the poor that Jesus hates them, and that is their appointed lot in life, so there's no need to look for earthly causes for their economic struggles. They're poor because Jesus doesn't like them - probably because they are bad people. That's just the way it is, and Christmas is a great annual reminder of the cold hard facts.

Then the liberals want to get in on the act and spoil all the fun
by insisting that we not be allowed to show off how much Jesus loves us by plastering made-in-China light-up plastic religious statuettes and assorted other trinkets all over every square inch of public property in the country! I'm sure some liberals would even sink so low as to suggest that the money spent on such religious trinketry could be better spent by helping those in need - but that's because they don't understand that Jesus doesn't WANT to help those people - He has already shown us how He feels about them!

Because liberals are getting in the way of Jesus getting His message across to the poor and unfortunate, it's safe to say that Jesus hates them, too. So maybe not all is lost, if we can just find a way to make Christmas about Jesus' hate for liberals too. Perhaps children of liberals can be made to stand on crates outside of their schools in pouring rain ala Jane Eyre, while reciting the Biblical account of Jesus' birth. Or maybe we could identify liberals in the workplace, and have them work double-time during the holiday season for minimum wage, just to remind them that Jesus doesn't care for their kind. This would have the added benefit of allowing all real Christians to take an extended time off during the holidays, which would allow them even more time to remind everyone else that Jesus doesn't like them, and neither do they.

These are just a few ideas; I'm sure we could come up with many others to turn back the liberal attack on the true meaning of Christmas. I only gave the book 3 stars because Mr. Gibson seemed to be more interested in whining about how bad liberals are than in showing them the true reason for the season. Word, Mr. Gibson - Jesus can take care of showing the liberals what He really thinks of them, He just needs some creative input from people like you.

10. now that was entertainment, but...
It was interesting to click the 'read all my reviews' links next to those who weren't being satirical and find the only other book they had reviewed was the anti-Kerry book...but, what I don't get is one of the pro-book fellows had a review of DU..I didn't know you could review web sites on amazon. Is this true? weird.
peace
