Yes, the messenger is flawed, but I support the message: Nobody should be ashamed to say Merry Christmas through either words or symbols. We need to find a new messenger, someone who doesn’t sensationalize the season but someone who savors it enough to salvage its traditions. I would volunteer to be the messenger, except that I’m hearing voices again. Wait, maybe, these are simply the voices of reason and common sense.”

What bothers me is this; He’s built up this sort of down-to-earth, everyman, cut-through the bullshit persona, and he’s really good at acting it out. The “no-spin zone” and all that. But it’s a ruse. He’s the source a at least 40% of the bullshit out there right now. If he really cut through political bullshit, he’d end up mincing himself.

But he’s so good at acting his part, that people buy into it, and turn to him for information.

To me, if you’re in the position where people are relying on you to convey information, you have a responsibility to get it right. You have a responsibility not to lie to the very people who keep you on the air.

And Bill just keeps lying. It pisses me off.

Bill O’Reilly is bright and witty in many respects, but he’s incredibly narcissistic and his brain doesn’t seem to be running on all cylinders. One moment he can say something clever, (occasionally even something bordering on brillian, but the next moment he comes out with something totally idiotic. Moreover, he also tries to please too many people. He tries to have it both ways, just so he can give the appearance of being “fair and balanced.” But O’Reilly is not the only Fox man I have trouble with. Sean Hannity, though he is sharp, and likable in certain respects, (and, for the most part, him and I share the same Weltanschuuang), he rarely listens to guests who disagree with him, he is too much of a Bush/Republican apologist (something Sidhe falsely and carelessly accuses me of being), and, at times, Hannity’s patriotism borders on being jingoistic. Also, unlike Power Line, Hugh Hewitt, Rusty Humphries, and a handful of radio stations that have added me to their playlist, his people consistently pass over my tunes, relying exclusively on hackneyed Charlie Daniels tunes to represent their cause.

Wow. O’Reilly is now too illogical for Dr. BLT ;-)

Tigrismus, if you’re not happy with what they did to Greensleeves, I’m curious about how you feel about me taking it a step further. This is to the tune of Greensleeves aka What Child is This?

Yes, that’s right, we secularists are molesting the baby Jesus with our refusal to say “Merry Christmas” enough!

Can there be any doubt that Bill O’Reilly is fucking batshit insane?

Is this the sort of thing people who have been sexually abused by priests or anyone else needs to hear from a sexual harrasser? I don’t even believe in hell, but if there’s any justice, Bill ought to end up there.

In the meantime, we could make up buttons or rubber bracelets to sell: “the baby Jesus hates contrafactum”.

But nobody better mess with the words to “God Save the Queen”, that’s all I can say.

Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17

“Therefore let no one pass judgement on you in questions of food or drink or with regard to a festival [King James: "holyday"] or new moon or a sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” [note in the Oxford Annotated Bible: "The Colossian's error involved excessive ritualism." So it's pretty clear that Paul considers what the girl at the cash register says to you to be pretty unimportant.]

Colossians 2:23

“These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion and self-abasement and severity to the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh.” [But I'm sure no one involved in this "war" has ever had trouble with indulgence of the flesh...and least since the sexual harrassment case was settled.]

Colossians 3:8-9

“But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another…”

Peace.

Now, this is just supposition on my part, but reading about some other Liberty cases (including one where Liberty claimed that a Senior Citizens center wouldn’t let the old folks pray or sing gospel songs, when it turned out that the center’s new administrator had just told a church group that it couldn’t turn all of the center’s activities into prayer meetings – and that a compromise would have been quickly worked out if Liberty hadn’t sued the town), I’m pretty sure that Liberty’s account of the incident isn’t completely accurate.
