Bill O'Reilly, a "Horror"ible person.

This whole 'Christmas' versus 'Holiday' thing is ridiculous. Ridiculous the last time they mentioned it, ridiculous now.

Who cares? (This is not a reflection of the OP or the poster.) I just mean, who cares? This is such a nothing issue to get so riled up about.
If the religious right and nutjobs like O'Reilly are so certain about their beliefs and religion etc, why would they worry about Target saying 'Holiday' instead of 'Christmas'? If their faith is strong enough, it shouldn't matter.

They're saying 'holiday' for three reasons that I can figure out. 1. Holiday meaning 'holy day'. Thus it acknowledges the importance of the 25th to the Christians celebrating. 2. It's an inexpensive way to say 'Happy Thanksgiving', 'Merry Christmas', 'Happy Chanukah', 'Happy Kwanzah' 'Happy Solstice' and 'Happy New Year' all at the same time. 3. It's all inclusive of everyone celebrating at this time.

These Christian facists want everything their way with an in your face 'Merry Christmas' and they're making a big stink out of it. Thus draining all festive meaning from this time to focus on the morbidity and anger of people called Christians thinking they're being victimized. Bleh.

Fine boycott everbody who says 'Happy Holidays'. Boycott Ford, boycott Wells Fargo, boycott Target, boycott Disney... Take your holy money and sit on it. And to quote what people like O'Reilly say, 'If you don't like it. Leave.'
