TYT: The War on The War on Christmas - Bill O' The Clown Freaks Out!



"After spending a portion of his Wednesday night Fox News program arguing with an atheist leader about Christmas, Bill O'Reilly revisited the topic on his Thursday program during an interview with Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee.

Chafee made headlines when he decided to call the tree in the Rhode Island Statehouse a "holiday tree" instead of a "Christmas tree." The decision angered some people, who protested the tree lighting ceremony last year. This year, a state representative appeared on Fox News to say that she will host a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in her office. Fox News host Gretchen Carlson said the situation was an example of the "War on Christmas"
currently underway."*

It's December, so that means it's time for War on Christmas season on TV. At least Bill O'Reilly thinks so in his ridiculous arguments with David Silverman, President of the American Atheists and Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee. Cenk Uygur discusses the origins of Christmas celebration and breaks down O'Reilly's angry denouncements against people who don't do what he says.

in that same David Silverman segment, that Christianity is not a religion, but a philosophy,
which has to be one of the stupidest statements, in a long line of stupid statements, that O'Reilly
has ever uttered...
