The War on Christmas

Submitted by IrnBru001 on Sat, 12/02/2006 - 08:00.

This stuff amuses me. I've never understood this extreme paranoia the right-wing has. This notion that they are a persecuted minority and that the big scary secular progressives are out to destroy America.

Though it doesn't seem as bad as it was last year, the talking heads are still talking about it.

From MediaMatters:

On the November 29 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly continued to hype the so-called "war" on Christmas by claiming that retailers Best Buy and Crate & Barrel are "still ordering their people not to say, 'Merry Christmas,' " and that the stores "will fire" employees who do. O'Reilly also asserted that "ordering" employees "not to say 'Merry Christmas' " is "the worst kind of fascism you could possibly have." In fact, representatives of both stores have denied having policies that forbid employees to say "Merry Christmas" to customers.

Inclusiveness is fascism?

If Billo had done any research, say called the stores for a clarification, he would have found the facts. But he of course doesn't want the facts he wants to feel persecuted. Wants to legitimize the paranoia of this listeners.

I can understand why he does it. It sells. There real question is "Why are the fundamentalists so paranoid that they buy it?"

It's always something. To be honest, the left has it's battles too.

This Happy Holidays thing is really really stupid though. Remember when we were younger and Happy Holidays just referred to that time towards the end of the year where we all pretended to be nice to each other (except the inlaws of course). It wasn't political and it wasn't a four letter word.

Everything is sitting behind some money driven agenda. O'Reilly can't not talk about it. Is FoxNews Friend John Gibson has that "War On Christmas" book out and they help each other promote books.

I totally agree.

I think them portraying the idea that white Christians are some how a persecuted minority is just a ploy to drive racism against people of other cultures.

I really don't see Muslims getting upset over Christmas. My Muslim neighbour buys presents for his kids because he, like me being atheist, doesn't see it as a religious holiday and more a time of sharing and spending time with family.

The nutso Christians are just having a sook because no one wants to go to church anymore.
