EPIC FAIL.

Can't say I'm surprised. He's the same guy that thought American troops massacred the Germans at Malmedy, instead of the other way around.

Focus on the Family has nothing better to do than to meticulously compile a list of retailers who do or don't mention 'Christmas'?

Jeebus has totally changed his tune. The poor, meek, infirm, homeless, diseased, downtrodden, and starving can go fark themselves. It's all about media attention and marketing.

Jesus has always been about marketing. Why do you think he did all those walking tours and gave out all that free fish and wine? Hint: To sell the BRAND.

LOL! Christmas thing aside, I'm heartened by the fact that you recognize his idiocy.

As a small BUSINESS owner, I've had it about UP to my EYEBALLS with all this "Happy Holidays" NON-SENSE.
I made it a POINT this year to decorate my office with TRADITIONAL Christian decorations like Santa's reindeer, candy canes, and over TEN THOUSAND Christmas lights.
It drives my building manager NUTS whenever he walks by my office.
He SAYS it's because the lights are A fire hazard, but I know its because he's a LIB (he has a Ron Paul bumper sticker) who can't stand the THOUGHT of celebrating the ressurection of Christ.
But my CLIENTS love it!
You LIBS keep trying to bring everybody down and I just keep closing SALES.
In your face!
And MERRY CHRISTmas!

Unless that wasn't sarcasm. Sometimes reality is so messed up, the rational can only interpret it as a jest.

Yeah what a bunch of morans. They could be doing more important thing like watching every word of an idiot on tv in the hopes they can catch something dumb he says and write an article about it the next day.

I'm not an expert, but Wouldn't that be easter?
Also what does Santa, reindeers, candy canes and over TEN THOUSAND Christmas lights have to do with Jesus?

/I agree though, It's xmas and it should be celebrated and called as what it is. Excluding it doesn't mean we're being inclusive of other cultures.

This man

is made of fail.

My prediction on Bill will deal with this:

1. Briefly stand behind his claim that Hanukkah lasts 9 days.
2. Deny he said it.
3. Claim that left wing smear sites are making up lies about him again.
4. Do it again next December.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When I did a search for vintage Christmas cards I found some from the 1940s that said "Happy Holidays" in them. Those of you who want to biatch and moan about liberals suddenly ruining Christmas can stuff a sock in it. Your fabricated "War on Christmas" is sounding more and more whiney the longer you whine about it. STFU.

Merry Christmas.

Saves me from having to watch said idiot and I still get to be entertained by said idiot's idiocy (redundant, I know).

Think of them as the sports highlight reel, or better yet, the blooper reel.

Umm...I really don't know what to make of that post. Good for you?

"Happy Holidays" is all inclusive, not neutral. Just becaue Bill O'Reilly doesn't understand this doesn't mean the rest of the country can't.

5. Say something along the lines of, "After so many years on TV and the radio, this is all they've got on me, that one time I misspoke and said 9 instead of 8, and they're pathetic."
6. Yell at people to shut up.

Why is this a controversy?

People use the phrase "Happy Holidays" because it's more cost effective. Anyone who works in a business that sends cards to clientele/donors/partners during the holiday season knows that it's easier to send something that says "happy holidays" to everyone instead of figuring out each persons particluar faith and making sure the card you send corresponds to their beliefs.

I'll believe there is a war on Christmas when a bunch of hippies kidnap Santa and send the media a tape threatening to cut his head off unless Congress passes a law requiring that all rolling papers be made of Bible pages.

Meh, you're trying too hard. 2.5/10

I say we go back a century and a half or so. You know those great family values times that these people want. No age of consent, people married at 14, no drug or alcohol laws, and most importantly: other Christians beating the s**t out of motherf**kers that dare to sing Christmas Carols.

OneBrightMonkey: t's easier to send something that says "happy holidays" to everyone instead of figuring out each persons particluar faith and making sure the card you send corresponds to their beliefs.

Because a lot of people believe that a Christian Christmas (in contrast to a secular Christmas) is a holiday of the United States and people should send out cards reminding all non-Christian that they are not "True" American citizens.

That there'S THE spirIT OF the season, IF i ever DID SEE it!

YOU win!!

"Instead of one day of Christmas, we get eight crazy nights."

Eight. Crazy. Nights. LEARN IT, MOTHERfarkER!

There is no liberal bias against Christmas! Nothing to see here, move along.

Argh, and of course I have to go and fark up the quote...

I can't even watch Bill O clips anymore. That man makes my skin crawl.

Brubold: There is no liberal bias against Christmas! Nothing to see here, move along.

So you think it's our federal governments role to celebrate holidays for us?

Why do you think the federal government should be involved with every aspect of our life?

Brubold: There is no liberal bias against Christmas! Nothing to see here, move along.

Yeah because Xmas is such an obscure concept in the US that we need a house resolution passed to mark it. Isn't that really a conservative pro-xmas bias that failed to pass in a country that largely celebrates the farking holdiay?

U FAIL

Hanukkah never was a big deal to Jews. Just on television, and to Christians.

Ho, ho, ho...

This rates a solid "meh". Most people probably think the same way, what with the 9 candles on a Menorah. Whatever percentage of non-Jews who know the right answer probably only know because of Adam Sandler.

Here's wishing everyone on Fark a Happy Holidays.

Actually my Catholic Sunday School class went to a Jewish Synagogue and talked with the Rabbi in a question/answer session. He was a nice guy that tolerated our ignorance :p

Counter_Intelligent: Too obvious. Try again next year.

He got at least two people.
So I say - WIN.

Dude, calm down. Christmas gets more pervasive and gaudy every year.

Radio stations start the all Christmas format earlier ever year, more stores put up trees earlier every year and basically everywhere I go I'm visually and audibly raped by horribly cheerful, commercialized garbage.

In the heart of the most "Liberal" city in the country (next to San Fran) they light the biggest freaking Christmas Tree you've ever seen in the middle of Rockefeller Center on November 28th.

Take a deep breath.

Happy Holidays!!

sigdiamond2000: I made it a POINT this year to decorate my office with TRADITIONAL Christian decorations like Santa's reindeer, candy canes, and over TEN THOUSAND Christmas lights.

Ah yes, I remember the tale of how Santa and his reindeer visited baby Jesus to give him a candy cane.

It's the greatest story ever told!

You can't even succeed at being a douchebag.
