It's heartening to see more columnists not standing by for Bill O'Reilly's foolishness. Here are a couple of examples.
First, there's this column by Mike Ball in the North Star Writers Group.
It begins this way:
December 10, 2007
Happy Xmas to Bill O’Reilly
Boy, did I ever screw up the other day. I said, “Happy Holidays” to a Bill O’Reilly Fan. Lucky for me, this particular BORF was kind enough to immediately point out the error of my ways.
BORF: Happy Holidays? Tell me, why do you hate Jesus so much?
You can see where this might be going.
Then there's Carol Towarnicky's "The War Over the War on Christmas," which begins like this:
REST NOW, ye merry gentlemen - Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly says he has defeated the "forces of darkness" that supposedly were waging a "War on Christmas."
When underpaid and underinsured cashiers sell you stuff you can't afford to give to people who don't really need it, much of it made in deplorable conditions overseas, they will be sure to wish you a "Merry Christmas" instead of that sinister "Happy Holidays."
