Bill O’Reilly and company at Fox News Channel have been have been firing on all cylinders recently trying to push their current wedge issue: the secularists’ assault on Christmas. A commonly-cited example of this so-called attack is how many retail stores greet customers with “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.” In fact, on Tuesday Mr. O’Reilly had this advice to retailers:
Every company in America should be on its knees thanking Jesus for being born. Without Christmas, most American businesses would be far less profitable. More than enough reason for business to be screaming Merry Christmas.
Apparently, business guru O’Reilly needs to shout his message a wee bit louder. As Keith Olbermann pointed out tonight, if you go to The Fox News Shop, among other items in the “Holiday Collection,” you can select the following:
Holiday Ideas
The O’Reilly Factor Holiday Ornament – Product #:FOX21001200
Put your holiday tree in “The No Spin Zone” with this silver glass “O’Reilly Factor” ornament.
“Holiday Ideas”? “A holiday tree”? Oh, the humanity–the secularists have secured a beachhead at the Fox News website!
Better add The Fox News Shop to that Christmas Enemies List, immediately.
