Bill O'Reilly, foot soldier battling the War on Christmas

O’Reilly throws down the gauntlet in the War on Christmas.»

No time of the year is more merry for Bill O’Reilly than the “Christmas season,” because he can then go to war with his nemeses, the so-called “secular progressives.” Last year, he kicked off the season on Nov. 9, with a story on a decision by the Fort Collins, Colorado City Council to forgo traditional Christmas decorations. Though he hasn’t found his first outrage of the year yet, he’s getting ready. For the past two nights, O’Reilly has been offering bumper stickers reading “We Say Merry Christmas” to anyone who orders his book off his website: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/07/oreilly-sticker-christmas/


This year, O’Reilly is also evidently acknowledging Hanukkah, telling his viewers last night that his website has plenty of merchandise for the “Christmas and Hanukah season.”

2. Someone needs to tell these nuts that the only REAL war on Christmas that I know of ..

was carried out by the Puritans (in some ways, the ancestors of the American Religious Right), who banned Christmas under Cromwell in mid-17th-century Britain, because they saw it as a thinly-disguised Pagan festival.
