After heavily promoting a story claiming the American Civil Liberties Union told schools not to say "Merry Christmas," Fox News failed to deliver in the latest installment of Bill O'Reilly's fake "War on Christmas," this time with Fox News anchor/attorneys Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl smearing the ACLU of Tennessee for a completely innocuous letter advising public schools reminiscent of the recent skewering of Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson in "The Colbert Report's" latest installment of "The Blitzkrieg on Grinchitude," as I show in this video.

The Fox News promotional clip claiming "the ACLU scrooges public schools warning them not to say 'Merry Christmas'" comes from Fox News' December 13, 2010, broadcast of the advertisement available online at http://media2.foxnews.com/121310/1214...

The clips of Bill O'Reilly, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Lis Wiehl smearing the ACLU of Tennessee come from a segment of Fox News' December 14, 2010, broadcast of "the O'Reilly Factor" available online at http://video.foxnews.com/v/4458576/ba...

4. Sorry If you go to the original link to the Youtube site

Mine is working just fine.

Or maybe you meant the link in the quoted text I quoted from the Youtube site

Perhaps it was truncated by Youtube. Sorry. But at the original Youtube site it works there.

3. Ive gotta admit, I think its more complicated

than this guy lets on, at least it seems so to me.

The letter is not about students saying "Merry Christmas", its about a public school not using the word Christmas to describe a pageant or a school party etc.... Should the school refer to it as "a Christmas party" or a "Holiday Party"?

Not allowing a nativity scene or reference's to Jesus is obvious, but is the word Christmas also out of bounds? I think thats the question.

And I have to say, trying to get rid of the word in reference to plays, caroling...or whatever else schools do may be taking it too far.

I think thats what this is about, maybe Im wrong though. I probably should read the letter and look into it further myself.
