No one tell O'Reilly: Condi's a "Happy Holidays" kinda gal
By Steve Benen Thursday Dec 20, 2007 4:04pm
The dreaded "War on Christmas" has obviously influenced the Bush White House. First, Bush wished the press corps a "happy holidays" at the end of his press conference.

Today, Condi Rice did the same thing.
At the end of her press conference this morning, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice teamed up with “secular progressives” in the War on Christmas, cheerily wishing reporters a “Happy Holidays everybody!”
It's so bad, even the White House holiday card avoids use of the word, "Christmas."
For at least the third year running, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush have joined the “War on Christmas.”
The 2007 White House holiday card is just out. Yep, that’s right. It’s a holiday card. Once again, the annual December greeting fails to contain the word “Christmas” and features no Christian symbolism.
What will O'Reilly think?

"I gotta give her a call"?
O'Falafel's head will explode. He'll probably turn on them too. Heck, I wonder what BillO and Rupert will do now that Rudy is sinking fast.
This is laughable. Who the hell does o really think run this country? Give ya a clue -- it ain't the christians.
Want another clue? -- They want us to bomb Iran.
WE WON THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS !!!!
WOOOO HOOOO!
IN YOUR FACE! OREILLY!
BRING IT ON!!!!!!
Have a happy Frank Zappa Birthday,today,and a happy Christmas, nextTuesday.And let the war on Christmas games begin.There are a lot of really stupid people in America that feed into this shit.To them I say,"Jesus Thinks You`re a Jerk." Thanks Frankie.
Rice just blasted Huckabee for saying Bush had a 'Go-It-Alone' foreign policy,
She's right, you know, Israel and Samoa are 'With us all the way', though Samoa is asking for a bigger cut of Israel's bribe money.
Speaking of the holidays, check out the Christmas Carol starring Dick Cheney, Condi, Ken Lay, Ron Reagan and other guests.

He will think of the WH as victims of the War on Christmas.
The White House printing press is feverishly printing a new edition of the Bible, calling the little tyke in the manger, 'The Holiday Child'.
Hopefully, they'll have the New New Testament printed by Holiday eve.
if I had a stronger stomach, I'd watch BillO - SEXUAL PREDATOR - just to see his reaction. I'm sure it will go unmentioned.
Does O'Reilly "think"? I thought he was pure reptilean in his brain use.
So it's the Holiday Kid's father who talks to George all the time. Thank God it's not the real God, this sure explains a lot.
It just shows you how right it is to 'Keep the Faith'! I new all along that the real God couldn't be responsible for all of The Dummy's screw-ups.
Now that this secret has been leaked, I can't wait to see what the real God will do to the Preposterous putz.
What will O’Reilly think?
The far left wing liberal wackos in cahoots with the Islam-O-Fascists forced her to say it.
They also threatened Bush,

Oh my gawd. Is Condi joining the Soros/Media Matters/United Nations conspiracy to destroy Christianity?
Orally is going to need super-hero help on this one.
Maybe she wanted to include Kwanzaa, and the other one, you know, that Jewish thing. :)
I always say "X-mas" just to piss people off. Not christmas - "X-mas."
That's pure BS the 'The White House card contains no Christian symbolism'.
If you look real close at the serif on the 'H' in 'Holiday', you'll see an image of Huckabee,
impaled on a cross.
My kitchen tv was on and I heard her say that. I just started laughing and figured BillO was going to have to send his troops to the white house for a skirmish. Maybe he can recruit Huckabee to join him. Huckabee could swat away with his floating cross and beat some sense into the whole white house bunch.
Aurelius @ 15:
'That Jewish Thing' IS Kinky Kwanzaa, and Leezzaa's heavily into it.
Preacher Boob @ 17:
Thanks for the first damned laugh I've had all day!
pissed off patricia @ 18:
Hehe. Imagine Billbo sending over his boy-child producer-stalker on this one.
The war on Christmas has been lost. Bill O was premature in declaring victory on this all important issue. He's in a real fix! Admit he was wrong (not an option) or let the war on Christmas be a failure. What's a nutcase to do.
To me the Christmas tree will always be the Christmas tree, not a holiday tree. I'm not a bit religious but sometimes this PC stuff bugs me. Pretty soon will we have to call the Easter Bunny the Holiday Hare?
The celebrations, they are a'morphing.
Last year, 'Merry Christmas', this year 'Happy Holidays', next year 'Sexy Secularity'.
This War's damn near over, and if General Huckabee had any honor, he'd sit on his sword and end it all.
If BillO wasn't insane and had a sense of humor he could have fun with this. The kind of fun Colbert would have with it if his show was on now.
Clearly, the terrorists have won.
What will O'liely think?...all he thinks about now is: 'What is happening to my ratings!'.
Myself, I worship my motorcycle...so....'Happy burnouts and wheelies'.
Huckabee's Christmas card had a cross, now McCain's Christmas card has a cross, shows that they believe in their religion.
Mitt Romney does, too, his Christmas card is showing all his wives, naked (tastefully shot from the rear, of course).
Has BillO brought his troops home yet or just redeployed them? Since he has declared victory in the war on Christmas, I would suspect he would want to get them home for the "holidays".
"I always say "X-mas" just to piss people off. Not christmas - "X-mas.""
x - in x-mas is of course the greek symbol of 'chi', one of the early signs of Christianity.So instead of pissing people off you are actually demonstrating a knowledge of the historical church others may not have. good for you.
editor @ 26:
Far worse than that. Now America officially is under Satan's control....until people start saying Merry Christmas again, that is.
O Riley is fine with anyone who says Happy Holidays as long as they are Republican. Can you imagine what he would be saying if a Democrat President did not mention Christmas on their Christmas card? O Riley would be screaming on his show for days with that irritating high pitch voice and bugging eyes. The fake outrage would be pathetic. He tries to make every thing black or white and it never works. He wants to break up America with the people who support Bush and what he has done with the people who don't. He tries to label the majority of Americans that disagree with Bush as people who hate America and are not Christians. Funny he mentions Christians because the Bible talks about people like him and his hate filled party that will try and present themselves as "on the side of God" when just the opposite is true
McCain needs to stop playing on his POW time. He seems to use that the way Rudy uses 9-11. And to be fair and balanced, Edwards needs to stop saying his dad "was a mill worker". We already know it, because we have heard him say it about a zillion times.
Felafel boy will apologize for the Aministration's excusable oversight and severely chastise the unholy secular progressives for trying to shift the blame. Thinking is beyond him.
Preacher Boob @ 17:
Thanks for that.
Still laughing.
impaled, rotfl, oooh, my sides.
What would Zeus do? @ 11:
BO is unincumbered by the thought process so thinking in his case is irrelevant.
ah, the high-mistress of diplomacy goes "Anti-Christmas/Secular Humanistic political correct for the Holidays?"
I bet she has a nice leather Holiday tree, all decorated with little miniature whips and riding crops.
Bill'O just wishes he was invited over for a little Christmas Eve discipline session with Condi.
Happy holidays, O'Falafel. Oh, actually, I hope your holidays are miserable, Bill!
billo doesn't have the stones to send Jesse Watters to attack Condi. Just small bumlefuck towns nobody has heard of
Connie was a Christmas gal all her years going up until her soul mate who is Jewish came along. Most couples learn to agree and support each other on these things. Connie's female Jewish soul mate is more important then her religion. The White House 9 day trip to Israel will mean a special gift for Connie as it's hard to be without your lover.
Hey that was hilarious especially how the press reacted when she'd left. This is the best post of the xmas season. Thanx!
It's clear that both Condi and Our Glorious Leader(tm) hate America.
Oh wait, that's been clear for the last 7 years.
Nevermind.
Happy Holiday Day to all!
Were you aware the War on Christmas has hit the UK:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2230954,00.html
The message in this year's White House Christmas card is as follows:
You alone are the LORD.
You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it,
the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything,
and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
NEHEMIAH 9:6 (NIV)
Still, no mention of Christmas.
I am sure billo got his holiday card from Condi.
"What will O’Reilly think?"
"Think"? He don't do that lefty shit. You must mean what will billo "pull out of his ass"....
Apt that this one is in the same category as that other 'Mary's Baby', ie the Cheney child. Beyond milking them for votes, the Republican aristocracy doesn't give a f#$k for the petty moral and religious concerns of their 'base'.
As a Christian, I say "Merry Christmas" only to people I'm sure are Christian. Otherwise I say "have a great holiday." But then my Mother brought me up to be well-mannered and consider the feelings of others. It isn't very Christian to shove Christianity down people's throats. Considering the lights and decorations by individuals and businesses, I doubt anyone is in doubt about what holiday it is. Adding the Menorahs and Kwanzaa candles is a nice thoughtful touch, but still not totally inclusive. Christmas isn't going away, not because of all of us dedicated Christians or the "Billos" of the world, but because the economy would sink without it.
Bill O'Reilly won't say anything. Why do you think he declared victory so early, when the "War on Christmas" theme is usually his ratings standard through mid-January? He's one of those Republicans who are worried about Huckabee, a true-believer, being the nominee. They don't want someone who actually believes this stuff to win.
If you read this morning's NYT story about Huckabee, the first few paragraphs sound like they came right out of O'Reilly's war. "I know it's controversial, but 'Merry Christmas!'" to standing ovations.
Condi certainly won't cause him any grief.
is this bitch still seeing vishions of mushroom clouds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O'Reilly should call for impeachment of these liberal anti american Christmas-haters in the WH.
What would O'Reilly think? Nothing, he doesn't have a brain dontchaknow. BillO and Bush are both living brain donors. Sadly the two people that received them want to give them back saying, "We think these are broken".
Bill O'Reilly thinks?
When did this start happening?
Zenrage @ 53:
It hasn't, the prompters and his earpieces still works.
Zenrage @ 53:
What I understand he just screams what his gut is telling him. Theres no actual brain activity involved. I think some people like O'Reilly have a simple but effective direct neural connection between the gut and the mouth bypassing the brain thereby avoiding any thought processes that might interfer with the initial gutfeeling. (This interference is commonly known as "reason" which people with strong neural gut-mouth connections often experience as incoherent noise) The brain is only used when opening doors etc to ensure that no damage comes to the gut. And if the brain were to fail in these tasks the gut is usually protected by several layers of protective fatty tissues.
Bill O' Riley is getting worse by the day. Tonight he actually referred to himself as an Independent and quickly went to a segment on illegal immigration and interviewed two politicians to get their views, one was a Republican while the other was a Republican. lol. Fair and balanced as long as the only opinion is the far right wing.
Do you actually think Bill will charge them with heresy? What a tool.
I can't wait to deal with this bitch in the here after. She is going to have a miserable life after what she has done in her sick greedy quest for the love of Bush, power and money.
.... just love the exuberant reaction of the crowd as she waddles off.
pickles @ 59:
Haha, yea. And she's like, escaping fast.
ya know, I think Condi is the worst one of them all. Here is clearly an intelligent woman going against all she believes in, who has no history of supporting or embracing the neo-con dogma of her handlers, but who nevertheless goes along with it all to hold on to her power and prestige. She comes from academia, suddenly finds herself in the center of power, corrupt and evil though it may be, but is so enthralled with her position that she will accept anything to hold on to it. She has no business being in the position she has. She is so over her head and out of place, but she gets power, respect, gets to globe trot, rub elbows with people that would otherwise only let her wash their clothes and scrub their toilets, and it all corrupted her ego. She is a complete sellout who knows better, But she chose to sell her soul for a few years of elitism, and that makes her beyond redemption.
The others in the Bush regime are simply insane, evil, criminal, or all three. They were at least true to their character.
What is Christmas any way? Catholics having mass at Midnight hundreds of years ago? Christ Mass is blatant idolatry. Transubstantiation. Substitute/Replacement of the death of The Lord Jesus Christ. Where the "sun" wafer actually becomes the body of Christ and the wine becomes the actual "blood" of Christ. That's all. So what is the BIG DEAL?
If your Condaliezza Lies, the Bush or Clinton there master is one and the same "Lucy-Fur"...so yeah CAL they can do whatever they want, murder, lie, torture, start wars, etc.....our country is gone, welcome to BABYLON!! Woo-Hooo!! Democrap or Repuglican it's all one and the same. Ab do Chao. Both parties are bought and paid for please see Hegelian dialectic for more details. 2 cents.
You should look at the WH Christmas card. A bible verse isn't Christian symbolism?
Unlike Condi,
I am more of a Merry- Happy Holidays type of guy.......................................
the GOP: WRONG ON CHRISTMAS, WRONG FOR AMERICA!
Hopefully BillO's head will go super-critical and start a chain reaction of criticality that will go all the way up to the evil overloard Rupert Murdoch, which will only end when everybody in News Corp's heads have exploded.
