I'm gonna use all the power that I have on radio and television to bring horror into the world of people who are trying to [diminish and denigrate the holiday and the celebration].

"Bring horror"!?! What a lovely Christmas sentiment, Mr. Oreilly.
Let's welcome Mr. Oreilly to reallity for a moment. No one is stopping HIM or any other individual from celebrating Christmas. There is no protected right for him to have the word Christmas show up wherever he goes. Hell, no one is "stopping" all of the stores from saying "Christmas", they are doing it of their own free will because, *gasp*, they find they get more customers when they offer an image that includes everybody (wow, rocket science). There are no laws, there are no nefarious plots, there are business people maximizing their profits and individuals making the decission to be inclusive. And then we have O'Reilly promising "horrors." What a patently disgusting thing to say.
I have my own thoughts regarding the subject and how the "holidays" movement is a far greater threat to NON Christian traditions than Christian, but I stop
well short of proclaiming the forces behind it to be an evil plot to destroy me.
Bill, go home, go plug in your Christmas tree, have Christmas dinner with your family, wish your neighbors Merry Christmas, give some money to charity. The gaul to liken marketing sense to religious persecution. Screw off with your horror.
