I guess we have to boycott O'Reilly

Tell the libertarians to drop the party lines of completely open borders, completely unrestricted immigration, completely unrestricted and unregulated trading with other countries, and a few of their other really fucking horrible ideas and I just might go along with you.

Good points. AND, I wouldn't register Libertarian, I'd register with a major party and try to affect things at the primary level. Then if they still can't offer good candidates, then Libertarian is a potential vote at that point.

If tens of millions of people suddenly registered Libertarian, do you think the Dem's and Repub's would take notice? Of course I guess the same could be said about Libertarians suddenly getting an incredible number of votes. I agree, the Libertarian's have some seriously whacked ideas on some subjects (including immigration, trade, and defense), but by and large the feasible portions of their agenda appeal to me more than those of the donkeys and elephants.

Agreed, fiscal conservatism is what Libertarians bring that neither current party brings.

Imagine if tens of millions Libertarian-minded people flooded the primary processed of the DFL asnd GOP.

Maybe we'd get some people who'd veto some spending once in a while......

It still says for your "holiday tree".

That's funny, when I just looked it up it says Christmas Tree...

Also, if I search "Holiday Ornament" the Christmas Ornament comes up... I cannot find a page that includes what Bill posted...

That is funny, because it WAS there. I guess others noticed the hypocrisy and thought it might be a good idea to hide it from the public.

Yeah, I forgot. Fox asks what someones political affiliations are on the employment application and only hires the extreme right wingers.

Yeah, kinda like Larry Flynt Publications asks what someone's views on sex are on the employment application and only hires the extremely open and kinky.

For some reason, I don't think morally conservative types flock to LFP for employment in droves.

I think theres a big difference between what employment someone will accept on moral priciples and what they will accept based on political ideology. Some how I find it hard to believe a graduate coming out of college, refusing a job at any journalistic institution based on their political views. I can however see someone turning down a job with LFP based on their own particular morals. And yes, I'm sure there's exceptions.

Looks like he made another 'honest mistake.' Go to billoreilly.com and put your cursor over "about Bill." First option that pops up? "Recommended Holiday Gifts."

Maybe this time you should point out his honest mistake. Us liberals get tired of defending Christmas from the secularists sometimes.

This may come as a surprise to you but... Bill O'Reilly isn't the webmaster on his site. Most likely some Liberal trying to make him look bad.

OK I went to the site. The term "Holiday Gifts" is appropriate to whats being advertised ie. a massage cushion and a Vermont Teddy Bear. These aren't specifically Christmas gifts as someone could purchase the Teddy Bear as a Hanukka gift, Kwanza, or even Ramadan gift.

So, I don't think it's the same hypocracy as advertising Christmas Tree Ornaments as Holiday Ornaments.

Hmm. But O'Reilly doesn't say "boycott the ad managers for Sears" he says "boycott Sears." So I fear we must follow his lead and boycott his website. Unless - you don't think - perhaps he is being a little bit bombastic in his rants against stores? Could it be that he's just working himself up into a lather and not really thinking about what he's saying?

You know, that could explain a lot!

It's exactly the same. I put lights all over my house. None are on a tree. Many people do the same, christian or not. So why the whining over "christmas lights" as opposed to "holiday lights?" A woman down the hall has ornaments all over her door. I have no idea if she's christian or not. They are just as much holiday ornaments as they are christmas ornaments.

I celebrate christmas. You don't have to. That's what's great about america.

You are trying to force your Judeo-Christian hypocracy down the throats of Jews, Muslims, Buddists etc by insisting that any gift given during December be considered a Christmas gift? You insist that the purchase of a non-denominational present like a Vermont Teddy Bear be called a Christmas Gift? How narrow - minded of you.

Yep. We have a special room where we herd them and pelt them with statues of angels, plastic baby Jesuses and Christmas cookies. I was going to get some O'Reilly Christmas ornaments to pelt them with as well, but alas . . .

BTW can you really force Judeo-Christian hypocrisy on a Jew?

Could you please provide a link to where Bill said to Boycott these stores? In your first post you claim "Recently O'Reilly called for a boycott of stores that refuse to refer to the holiday as "christmas" and use "happy holidays" or whatever, all part of his 'Christmas Crusade.' "

I was watching the Factor last night and he claims that while others have called for he boycott, that he has done no such thing. Also my impression is that he has no problem with the work Holiday so much as people who refuse to use the word Christmas. He wishes Happy Holidays, Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas. Just confused my your rant. We all use the word Holiday's. But some refuse to use the word Christmas at all. It seems to me this is what O'reilly has a problem with.

That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I don't see that it's any of O'Reilly's business what word anyone uses. If I use "Solstice" and he doesn't like it, he can KMA.

Well then, Merry Solstice to you. Of course you understand this means we won't be buying any Christmas gifts from Kallend Inc. this year.

Merry Solstice to you too. (That is, of course, what the celebration is really about, anyway. Jesus was NOT born on Dec 25.) O'Reilly is just grandstanding.
