In this clip from 2006, O'Reilly spouts off his misconception that people are trying to keep others from saying "Merry Christmas." But it was all a scam.
This week, Bill O'Reilly claimed he "won" his manufactured war on Christmas.
"If I had not done the campaign, then the forces of darkness would have won. There's no question about that. We were able to rally the Alliance Defense Fund in Phoenix, Arizona, to fight the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] in court. We were able to convince the major retailers to not order their employees to not say 'Merry Christmas,' to stop that nonsense. We won that."
Problem is, Bill, there was no war. You made the whole thing up. You blustered and steamed off lies to your viewers. And you're still doing it.
Media Matters confirms that Crate and Barrel and Best Buy, two firms he cited as being the enemy in his phony war, both gave explanations other than what O'Reilly wanted to hear. They never stopped employees from saying "Merry Christmas." But like good business firms, they consider all holidays.
More clowning from O'Reilly. Happy holidays, everyone.
