Bill O’Reilly is crazy
Jeff J. Snider Politics, Religion
Following up on what I wrote last week about President Bush’s Christmas/Holiday cards, here is something I picked up on from the Daily Show a day or two ago. Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly, of the O’Reilly Factor, had as a guest on his show a man named Philip Nulman, author of a book called “Just Say Yes! Extreme Customer Service – How to Give it! How to Get It!” They had the following exchange (I have taken bits out, but I have not affected the context at all — here is a link to where I got the complete transcript from):
- O’REILLY:
- I don’t believe most people who aren’t Christian are offended by the words “Merry Christmas.” I think those people are nuts. I think you’re crazy if you’re offended by the words “Merry Christmas.”
- NULMAN:
- “Seasons Greetings” and “Happy Holidays,” Bill, does not offend Christians.
- O’REILLY:
- Yes it does! Absolutely does. … Let’s do a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll question up there. Now, I’m givin’ the signal to my guys about if you’re – “Are you offended if they don’t use the words ‘Merry Christmas’ in a – in a store that you go to shop” and we will – and I guarantee you that I’m right. I’m guaranteeing that the Christian majority in this country is fed up, fed up to here with the ACLU and all of this business – this anti-Christian business.
