Now that Christmas is just around the corner, Bill O'Reilly has officially declared the opening of his "nice tradition" of hate on earth and ill will to all those Jews and atheists who hate the baby Jesus - unlike Bill who is the baby Jesus' very own emissary on earth. As Newshounds Ellen reported, Bill was off to a flying start with his campaign to demonize everybody and everything that don't satisfactorily pay homage to the birthday of "the prince of peace." (Rampant commercialization of the holiday doesn't seem to bother Bill so go figure!)And to help him spread his Christmas bile, Bill has enlisted the services of the Alliance Defending Freedom (formerly known as the Alliance Defense Fund). This group, whose members appear on Fox to validate whatever noxious agenda Fox is pushing, love Jesus - gays, not so much as seen in their opposition to same sex marriage and attempts to expose the "homosexual agenda." So is it a surprise that they would be O'Reilly's soulmates of hate?!
After Bill's sermon about how he's locked and loaded for the war on Christmas, he introduced his guest, Doug Napier, from the Alliance Defending Freedom. After "blessing" him for his efforts to save Christmas, he asked Napier, who has advocated for the right of town clerks to deny marriage licenses to same sex couples on religious grounds, which cases he is working on. Napier said that as Bill "pointed out, the majority of Americans celebrate Christmas." (Of course, the reality is that of the majority a large number of celebrants do so in a secular manner.) He proclaimed that everybody should "have the right to enjoy the season [which, of course, they do] without the interference of a few ba-humbug bullies." (Which is really a description of Bill and his fellow Christmas warrior who are attempting to impose their old school nice white and Christian version of Christmas onto those who aren't part of that tradition.)
Napier described three cases in which schools have banned music from their schools "based on misinformation" put out by the nasty secularist groups. He noted that two of these cases were discussed on the Factor and said that the school involved in the third case restored the Christmas music thanks to the ADF. To Bill's question of why this is happening, Napier blamed the nasty secularist groups. Napier's claim, that "every" court that has reviewed the issue has said that Christian Christmas music is permissible, is a lie because SCOTUS refused to hear a case, regarding public school Christmas music, in which the 3rd US Court of Appeals upheld the school ban on the music.
He praised O'Reilly for "getting the information" out and noted that his group has sent lots of letters to school districts urging them to "tell the truth about Christmas." O'Reilly asked why the schools, knowing the sterling record of Napier's group in defending Christmas, would "fold" to the Christmas haters. Napier suggested that they lack information which the letters will provide. With typical hubris, O'Reilly proclaimed that the schools which backed down on the bans did so because O'Reilly "threatened to come there myself." (Talk about a bully) O'Reilly praised the work of the Alliance Defending Freedom in defending those who are "harassed" by secular groups.
Right, isn't it just so special that Christmas is being defended by a group that trains lawyers to "battle the radical homosexual agenda" and is now actively supporting Russia's and Belize's efforts to enact draconian anti-gay laws which will mandate prison sentences for those who are openly gay. Nothing says Christmas like homophobia. God bless us everyone?
Have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas,
On your facts be light,
Bill O’s here and all the booze is out of sight
Have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas,
Bash the weak and gays,
Boll O’s here and all the booze has gone astray
There we were in olden days,
Happy long lost days before
Rush Limbaugh came on the tube,
Now we’re fed up with the bore
Though his show seems to go on forever,
Like a drunkard’s row,
Hang your iPod high upon the highest bough,
And have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas now.
