Bill O'Reilly
Oh, the hypocracy. I find this amusing, I think some of you will too. Ole Bill has been bashing stores and everywhere else because of the "War on Christmas". I think it is fairly silly, but to each their own.

I looked on his website. I noticed that on both the front page of his website, and in his website store, there is not a single greeting wishing his website visitors or shoppers (customers) a Merry Christmas.

I checked the Rush Limbo website, and same thing. On his home page, and in the Limbo store his customers are not greeted with Merry Christmas.

I checked sean hannity. Same thing. On his website, the front page does not greet visitors with a Merry Christmas. There was not an obvious link to his store so I couldn't check that.

Isn't that too funny. O'Reilly does have a wreath on his home page, but no greeting. Isn't that what he is so wound up about??

Kevin.

1. Somone pointed the wreath out the other day...
Do a "right click" on the wreath image and look at the properties. Check out the NAME of the wreth image...

4. Merry Chrysmas, Bill!
No "Christ" necessary to say it!

5. I would be surprised if there is a greeting at the
American Family Association store or the Focus on the Family site, either. I haven't checked but deception and hypocrisy are their foundational principles.

6. Thats nothing, did you hear the mp3 of Bill dressing down
a guy for not tipping a waitress because she said "Happy Holidays" to him. Bill said "Well she didn't know if you were Jewish or Muslim or what. When he realized what he had done he backtracked to say that when he's talking about the war on Christmas he's talking about companys that ban the use of "Merry Christmas". Of course there are no such companies...
Some say the caller was a liberal who tricked Bill into flip flopping, it's quite possible, the caller was way over the top, saying he wanted to punch the waitress in the face. When Bill started dressing him down the guy was dumbfounded. "Well they don't know what religion I am when I go into these stores you talk about, whats the difference?

BradBlog had an MP3 of it. It's not to be missed...

7. that is great.
Yea, I saw the other thread on that. Very funny. Way to go Bill!!! That is one of the problems I have with this 'war'. Bill is inciting people to the point of violence, because they aren't screaming Merry Christmas left and right. That is one of the sad things. Many of these people that work retail don't make a lot of money, and are fairly young. I worked retail for a while, and the money isn't great. I always thought it was polite not to assume someone celebrates Christmas. Apparently, being polite is not what Jesus would want, alteast in O'Reilly's world.

Kevin.
