As we know from watching Fox News, Chick fil-A is a sacred institution - right up there with the Vatican and Liberty University. Earlier this year, when evil secular forces of the gay agenda attacked Chick fil-A, Fox News took up its mighty media vorpal sword to defend Jesus' very own chicken. Bill O'Reilly defended the free speech rights of Dan Cathy, president of Chick fil-A, to defend "traditional marriage." So does Bill O'Reilly know that Chick fil-A has committed an egregious sacrilege involving Bill's sacred seasonal traditions by using the profane word "holiday" in part of its advertising? OMG, Chick fil-A is part of the "War on Christmas!" Don't know about the Baby Jesus; but Bill O'Reilly should be pretty pissed off about this!

I can’t believe that Chick-fil-a would willingly support the heathen holidays. Everyone in the US know that Jesus would NEVER have said “This HOLIDAY season!” It’s CHRISTMAS people! Dump everyone who says Holidays!

As Aria said, the point of the post was the hypocrisy on Fox, where the people shouting “war on Christmas” are also posting “Happy Holidays”.
It’s the hypocrisy that riles us, Joshua.

From our resident troll:
“Any cable news channel exists to make a prophit.”
Josh, my man…..we can’t help you with your faulty logic, but we can suggest ‘Spell-Check so you don’t look so dumb.
No need to thank me….it’s Christmas!!!

@joshua, the excessive number of attacks on women’s rights (aka the war on women) has numerous factual documentation.
The so-called “war on Christmas,” however… is just a few Fox News an RW radio hosts baselessly telling people that “Happy Holidays” is part of some kind of attempt to censor the Christian Holidays.
Our entire point in our coverage is pointing out that they don’t believe a word of their own rhetoric. They say anythng other than “Merry Christmas” is an affront, but they say Happy Holidays themselves. They have no problem with the term, they just don’t want the opposing view to have the right to say it.

Fox News has declared more Wars than every president of the 20th century combined. War on Christmas (or insert about any other holiday), War on Marriage, War on Coal, War on Christianity and War on Chick-fil-A just to name a few. All can be classified as frivolous other than to sound the dog whistle.

@zap pow I know there is no war on Christmas because its a war nobody would ever win. Nobody can stop it from happening. It’s just as ridiculous as the so called war on women we heard about so much during the campaign.
However, judging by some posts here, there are those who wouldn’t mind if there were no religious people in the world. If there was a war on Christmas, the headquarters would be here.

Any cable news channel exists to make a prophit. If pointing out that some people hate Christmas gets ratings that’s a good thing. It’s kinda like this site milking the notoriety of FOX news to make a buck. I am sure Ellen and others wouldn’t be here if it didn’t line their pockets with at least a little cash.

I don’t know if Chick Fil-a is part of the “War on Christmas” but it was reported that McDonalds is planning (according to leaked documents) to keep the company stores open on Christmas (franchisees aren’t subject to this plan) AND, as an added bonus of Scrooge-level greed, the company WON’T be paying holiday or overtime pay to employees, whether they volunteer or are “volunteered.”
When I first read that story, my very first thought was “I wonder how O’Reilly will react?”

From doors17’s comment:
“Obviously this phony annual War on Christmas is to only boost ratings and increase advertising revenues which is all the suits at Fox only really care about.”
Especially “Jabba the Ailes” (i.e. truman’s nickname for Roger Ailes, head of Fox Spews Channel) and Herr Goebbels II (i.e. Rupert Murdoch).

They definitely have a double standard if a community does not have religious symbols or displays on government property to promote their beliefs, but don’t feel offended at all when it comes to accepting money from advertisers that do the same.
