[Rudey]

This may be a strange thought but does Bill O'Reilly go to church a lot?

Who knows.

All of a sudden FOX is taking a fair amount of heat in some publications for allegedly manufacturing a news story out of this situation. O'Reilly in particular.

Seems overblown to me no matter who started it.

Manufactured..... noooo.... but wait (in best Jon Stewart voice) whats this:

Saginaw Township On The O'Reilly Factor Radio Program
...“In Saginaw , Michigan , the township opposes red and green clothing…on Anyone, In Saginaw Township they basically said anybody, we don’t want you wearing red or green. I would dress up from head to toe in red to green if I were in Saginaw Michigan .”

-- Bill O’Reilly

WNEM TV-5 Talked to Saginaw Township supervisor Tim Braun who says O’Reilly’s comments are flat out not true. Braun goes on to say the township hall has red and green Christmas lights adorning the building at night....

Why one might almost assume that dear old Bill is making stuff up again

I for one dont give a Goats Butt What Religion or Ethnic Group anyone belongs to!

I just want to Wish all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[Xylochick216]

I have always said Happy Holidays because it is inclusive of everyone, and it also includes the new year. I think it's good that President Bush chose to say Happy Holidays. I'm sure many of the people he sends his cards to celebrate holidays other than Christmas, and it was kind of him to be INCLUSIVE instead of exclusive.

I agree with you here! I am NOT a Bush fan AT all, but I think the cards are fine.

Now my Canadian holy roller Pentacostal Mother In Law is all up in arms about it, calling Bush a hypocrite

This was and probably will be the first and ONLY time where I defend Bush

I write in my cards "Have a Safe and Happy Holiday"...if that offends a person--whateva!


I like the fact that he included everyone. This season is not just for Christians...so GET OVER IT and get the panties out of a wad!

I think the White House Cards are very tasteful, personal feelings about the President aside. They chose to respect the fact that there are others who don't share their beliefs, yet celebrate their own.

Meh... just tell her that Canada has no seperation of Church and State - and hey God's in the national anthem... but still way back in Queen Victoria's times "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" made it appearance as a way to acknoweldge different faiths but to still impart the blessings of the season.
