Bill O'Reilly's war on Christmas

This is hilarious. Bill O'Reilly's rants about the secular left's diabolical attempts to destroy Christmas are an annual event. How dare the pinkos try to replace 'Merry Christmas' with 'Happy Holidays'! It's a sinister plot!

As it turns out, Fox and O'Reilly are co-conspirators:

Although Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson have lambasted what they see as a "secular" "war on Christmas," Fox News' own online store advertises "Holiday" ornaments rather than "Christmas" ornaments . . . The items are grouped under the category "Holiday Ideas."

O'Reilly, host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, has recently waged a campaign against corporations that greet customers with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." For his part, Gibson, the host of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, has published a book titled The War on Christmas: How the LIberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought (Sentinel, October 2005).

Despite O'Reilly's specific criticism of those who use the term "holiday tree" instead of "Christmas tree," an O'Reilly Factor ornament for sale at the Fox News store features this tagline: "Put your holiday tree in 'The No Spin Zone' with this silver glass 'O'Reilly Factor' ornament."

UPDATE: Over the course of the day, Fox updated the pages to replace 'holiday' with Christmas. Whew. Good to know they were able to find their tinfoil hats and shake off the liberal brainwashing.
