Somehow I have no doubt that Bill O'Reilly is going to hell for working for Fox. O'Reilly seems to think Comedy Central's Jon Stewart is going to hell for going after Fox for their ridiculous "war on Christmas."
I smell another highly edited interview with Stewart on O'Reilly's show coming after this latest dust up between the two.
From Mediaite -- Bill O’Reilly Answers Jon Stewart’s Declaration Of War On Fox News’ ‘War On Christmas’:
On Wednesday, Bill O’Reilly took a look at Daily Show host Jon Stewart‘s excitement over the “War On Christmas,” particularly with Fox News’ coverage of one community’s “tree lighting ceremony.” “If there has been a war,” a clip showed Stewart telling his viewers, “then Christmas is the aggressor nation.” [...]
“Now,” O’Reilly responded, “there is no question that Mr. Stewart is going to Hell. But he does have a couple of valid points.” He gave Stewart props for accurately acknowledging that the early settlers did, in fact, outlaw Christmas for a time, and he agreed that retailers can go overboard with their celebrations and decorating, taking the holiday to an exploitative extreme.
Here's the entire segment from The Daily Show that Bill-O decided to selectively edit during his segment on Fox. I'm not sure when Fox is finally going to get tired of beating this dead horse with the ridiculous "war on Chistmas" yet, but unfortunately it appears we're yet to get treated to this nonsense for some years to come as long as Fox is still on the air.
From The Daily Show -- Tree Fighting Ceremony - War on Christmas:
As long as conservatives view the words "Happy Holidays" as a subtextual "F**k you and your Baby Jesus," there can be no peace.
no question he's going to hell?
as long as he accepts good ole' jc as his personal saviour -even with his very last breath, no good deeds required- he gets into heaven, no?
whatever, bill o. jews don't believe in hell as a place anyway. theirs is only a lack of air conditioning.
(j/k)
if you would just explain yourself clearly the first time, you wouldn't have to ask me for confirmation of my understanding, youknowhatimean?
Isn't he going to hell anyway just for being Jewish? So why shouldn't he lob as many bombshells as he can on the way?
These people are FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

O'Reilly is being defensive because Stewart rightly tears his lies on FOX LIES channel to pieces, on a regular basis.

would not otherwise choose to see. And it was good, and funny. Then again, Stewart is Jewish, and didn't they have Christ killed? So obviously, they would be anti-Xmas. Theists, can't stand any of them. Holding tightly to primitive views about reality.
Was Jewish, Romans crucified lots of people all over the empire, Jesus just had followers. But then I don't believe in Him, why should I?
What is "Hell?"
The end is literally the end. Worm dirt. That's it.
There have never been cases of people brought back from the dead that had visions or anything.
Nope. You've got it 100% covered.
"Better." It's what we should ask of ourselves and of our leaders.
Axiomatic doesn't have to prove anything. The people making the claims that there are supernatural dimensions where one exists eternally after death have to pony up the proof. Any "visions" of the afterlife are most likely hallucinations induced by trauma.
So far there's a decided lack of proof about an after such and such, If there is, ok, If not oh well.
Most likely.
I'm a dualist. I believe to everything, except my existance, there is doubt. I just objected to Axiomatics apparent certainty. And Axiomatic, there's no ill will toward you from me at all either. You just made a very bold statement in my opinion, one that I am not certain enough to make.
"Better." It's what we should ask of ourselves and of our leaders.
So what do you believe?
and more of high probability if that makes you feel better. I concur with Mattland, the burden of proof is upon those who believe there is something more. As Carl Sagan said 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof'.
Visions are very easily explained.....When you are about to die, your brain pumps out huge amounts of DMT, which is like LSDx1000.
Well, I have heard of precisely two cases of people coming back from the dead. One was a 1st century Palestinian Jew with no documentary evidence to support his existence or his followers' claim that he came back from the dead, another was an extra terrestrial.
I guess GM came back from the dead. That counts, right? Corporations are people, too!
In seriousness, we cannot say with 100% certainty that there is no afterlife, but passive-aggressive sarcasm and the weak argument that some people have been resuscitated and report visions from the time when their brain was shutting down (and thus neurons were firing all over the place, chemicals were surging, and so on) is not going to help.
Besides, we have bigger fish to fry. Or is that only on Fridays?
sorry :-(

Uhh what kind of proof is that? Visions doesn't prove shit. You covered just as much as he did....Where is your proof?

Why go to hell when Fox brings hell to you?
Is hell.
The first clip of Fox News they show you can see the headline they had in the background that read 'Obama's War on Christmas'. I was waiting for this again this year and TDS did a great job this time as they pointed out for 60+ years Congress didn't even recognize Christmas as a Holiday/day off. Not being Christian I agree the War on Christmas needs more funding as it's all you get this time of the year. I don't hear Hanukkah songs, see menorah's everywhere, etc.
Fortunately Jewish people don't believe in a Hell so we got nothing to fear, heh.
'Hell only exists for those who believe in it and there's a special place there for them.'
There are the neighbors who steal decorations cause they don't like the traffic at this time of year, Christmas lights are pretty, but their not something I'd put up, but that's only cause My elec bill would go through the roof.
As to HELL, Me neither, My fears are more based in real day to day life.
that did not have any goals or objectives and used false equivalences saying Olbermann and Big ED of the ED Show were every bit as bad as FOX.
BTW did anyone notice that the DC pigs did not use pepper spray or batons on Stewart's rally despite putting gazillions more people in an even bigger park? Talk about media collusion with the 1%. Connect the dots b*tch#$.
"That's fu*#ing retarded."

That rally was to pacify the masses. As the old court jesters used to do throughout history. It is sickening because there are many reasons to occupy and protest what is going on in this country.

I think you're taking that rally way too seriously, dude. And I haven't noticed a lot of passivity lately, so I guess the Evil TDS Conspiracy To Gut Democracy didn't pan out, did it?

Soooo, the court jesters could just organize a protest without the king going on a rampage? Oh ok, you fool. I take your word for it.
Bite my shiny metal ass.

You wouldn't stand for someone saying that about the occupy movement, so I would hope you'd look a little harder at those rallies. They had goals and objectives - to demonstrate that people can connect, unite and make a large show of solidarity and dissatisfaction no matter their background or political ideology, rather than be at each others' throats or shoot congresspeople in a car park. It gave people something to channel their frustrated energy into that was constructive rather than destructive, while showing that we don't need to be constantly feeling like we are in a war with our neighbours and the sky is coming down around us. It was basically an early, aggrandised version of Occupy.
I do agree that he used false equivalences. I don't think it was the intent of the rally or the movement around it to say that the likes of Olbermann were as bad as Fox, but to not point out their occasional hyperbolic rhetoric would make it seems like a partisan parade rather than a uniting movement. Unfortunately they just didn't hit the right balance and it came off as though they really did believe, or want people to believe, that Olbermann and Sullivan getting a bit dramatic in a speech was just as bad as O'Reilly telling people night after night that a doctor was a murderer who should be brought to justice, or Fox & Friends saying that an Islamic community centre several blocks from ground zero was a secret Muslim plot to urinate on the graves of thousands of people.
And the reason the police did not pepper spray that rally was that it was on CSPAN, millions were watching, and they weren't doing anything that could be construed as illegal.
Even if you can't see through you're own partisanship to agree with it. While I love Olbermann most of the time, He can be just as bombastic and unfair in some of his criticism. The same can be said for The Ed Show. I agree that its not equal on both sides, but to just deny it exists on the left to some degree is to be intellectually dishonest.
To you're second point. Really? A one day event that they had permits for and was planned far in advance? Reaching at straws there I'm afraid.
This is great for both of their ratings. Meanwhile real journalism occurs on the internet. Keep supporting it.
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
That's what I see here, too. O'Reilly is just tweaking Jon, for fun.
O'Reilly says that it's everyone's right to say "Merry Christmas" or "Christmas Tree," blah, blah, blah. Yes, people and companies have that right. No doubt about it.
But Lincoln Chaffee also has the right to say "Holiday Tree," just as the 2 Republican governors before him did.
In a later segment, O'Reilly shows video of Jesse Waters interviewing people at the state capitol, most of whom say they are "offended" by Chaffee's use of the phrase "Holiday Tree." If O'Reilly and these people are so "offended," are they offended with O'Reilly's pal beck's use of the Nazi/Hitler terminology? Are these people offended with Bachmann's hateful things she has said about homosexuals? Are they offended by Marcus Bachmann saying that gay people are "barbarians" who need to be "educated and disciplined?"
I don't think O'Reilly has ever criticized beck over his Nazi/Hitler comparisons, nor do I believe he has ever criticized Bachmann over her and her husband's gay bashing.
Are these people offended at all by the hateful things many of these wingnuts say?
Not, Bill just doesn't know how not to offend. He can't help Himself.
when them Christians rebranded the "Saturnalia Trees" as "Christmas Trees."
BTW, doesn't all this make Bill O a "tree hugger" of sorts? (granted the trees he has the hard on for are dead for all intents and purposes but still)
CTHULHU 2012 "Why vote for a lesser evil?"
is when their delusions are challenged. They've given up everything else - humanity, critical thinking skills, integrity - there's nothing left but the delusional thinking. And their biggest delusion is their perception of their own merit, because they have none. Most of them got to where they are on pure bullshit, not capability. Nothing would scare them more than a society that rewarded competence over bullshit. Fox is group support for the incompetent delusional bullshitters of the world.
I've never been offended by the "holiday" appellation as much as puzzled. "Holiday" tree? Really?
What holiday are we talking about? Is there a single person fooled by that? Does calling it a "holiday" tree somehow attenuate the influence of the Christmas juggernaut?
Now, "Happy Holidays" makes sense - there are several holidays clustered in December that can be covered by the phrase - Hanukkah, Christmas, Solstice, Boxing Day, Yule for a few.
But calling what is manifestly a Christmas tree a "holiday" tree ain't fooling *anyone.* Lights, ornaments, star on top? Yeah, it's a Christmas tree. Cope.
Loofa in hand.
Hilarious Stewart showing that Faux Noise is a joke to the world.
Bill O' was kidding, I can assure you of that, him and Stewart are friends. Trust me, I know.
Bill O' has a tin ear for humor, no doubt, and his delivery sucks. He's probably one of those guys who tries to kid around and bust chops, but due to his personality always sounds like he's serious.
I also have to wonder if it's a dog whistle for the right wing Christians in his audience who actually believe in the War on Xmas horseshit.
Bingo. As for the dog whistle, Nah, he knows better. He's busting Stewart's chops, like Stewart does him, it's all in fun.
That's precisely the problem, both BillO and Jon know that BillO is just schtick, and they can pal around with each other because they both know they're "entertainers."
The issue is that while Stewart is on a comedy channel, BillO is on a "news" channel, and his mentally challenged viewers *don't* realize he's just doing schtick. They think he's the rill dill, and get themselves worked into a tizzy over "entertainment."
BillO is a dangerous hack, Jon enables him by treating him as just another comedian.
...since when? Or is that the reason for the " "'s?

He's smirking as he says it and then has a little chuckle. Even then, it could be read as kind of mean spirited, but the way they talk to each other I would doubt it. This isn't a "Dr. Tiller baby killer" style drum beat.
I was thinking the same thing......O'Reilly is a total idiot on subjects related to race(Thats where he's at his worst, in my opinion), Abortion, Taxes, and the like.....But he is smarter than the rest of fox and he actually has a tiny sense of humor.
Hannity is stupid and believes everything he spouts.....O'Reilly is not stupid, but knows how he can manipulate and views that as his goal.
Help...help...My Christmas tree is under attack by the family cat. I wonder if my cat knows she is going to hell?

I wonder how his ratings have been prior to this show?
Oh, yeah, YIPPEEEE!!!! The War on Christmas is Back!!!
WOOOOOOooooooWhOOooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Now there's a holiday for the season.
Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders.
Probably a holiday tradition for many 'Thugs: screw your employees out of Xmas bonuses, replace all the good booze with cheap shit into high end bottles, and listen to O'Really whine about his pet persecution.
What a wonderful life...

once again unleashes his 'attack dog', his vengeful punishing God, at anybody he doesn't like. Must be nice to have a weapon as powerful as a hateful god to help destroy your enemies!
Stewart was brilliant as usual...
perhaps there might be a way to turn his vengeful, blood thirsty gawd back on himself. Anybody know any incantations?
Their homeworld was a place called Earth, located in an uninteresting part of the galaxy. They had an expression: pride goeth before a fall. Their pride was their undoing. I know. I was there....They did not listen, of course. Arrogant men never do.

"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
So true. I think one of the things that makes me disdain the right so much is how freaking embarrassing they are. Do these people know of the internet and satellite tv? This stuff is being seen by people all over the world..Quite embarassing no matter what they are up to these days.

"I'm not sure when Fox is finally going to get tired of beating this dead horse with the ridiculous "war on Chistmas"… "
Never. Fox News is built on victimization.
It wont end. It is now a Christmas tradition for a certain segment of the country.
I'm even guessing that they are looking for a way to turn not saying God when giving thanks on thanksgiving into another defeat the enemy holiday tradition. If wingnuts could find victimization in every holiday they would be as happy as they could be.
Here's the simple plan to make a wingnut adopt anything you want. First you scare them and tell them they are being attacked. Next tell them they are heros fighting for good over evil.
It doesnt matter if any of all of that is true. Those 2 steps seem to work with wingnuts every time. And foxnewsdrama has it figured out.
If you haven't heard yet, the Newer International Rupert Version of the Holy Bible includes some revisions. The most prominent ones are to the 11 commandments (previously known as the 10 commandments.)
Allow me to illustrate:
Commandment #1
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Australia. You shall no no other gods before bling.
Commandment #2
You shall not make for yourself a carved image, but a printed or minted image, such as that found on currency is just fine to idolize.
Commandment #3
You shall not take the Lord's name in vain, though exploiting it to promote the Republican agenda is the only reason I created the universe.
Commandment #4
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. The best way to do this is to broadcast political talk shows on the Sabbath to promote the Republican agenda.
Commandment #5
Honor thy broker.
Commandment #6
Thou shalt not kill unless you do it while making a profit.
Commandment #7
Thou shalt not commit adultery, but sexual harassment or acquiring the services of a prostitute or having gay sex in public restrooms is just fine.
Commandment #8
Thou shalt not steal, unless you are rich and are doing it to make a profit.'
Commandment #9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, but if they don't live right next door to you, have at it.
Commandment #10 Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's house, just sell him a bad mortgage and cause him to foreclose on it, so it will be no longer consider your neighbors house, then you can covet it all you wish. Please refer to commandment #9 if you aren't sure how to accomplish this.
Commandment # 11 Thou shalt watch Fox News since only they know who I plan to send to hell.

the real reason billo thinks stewart is going to hell is because stewart is a jew by birth.
all the rest is smoke...
Just like Jesus! lol
"as long as conservatives view the words "Happy Holidays" as a subtextual "F**k you and your Baby Jesus," there can be no peace"
Wait. That's not what it means? Darn it, now I'm going to have to find some new cards.
(disclaimer: I don't actually send attack cards or otherwise be mean-spirited to Christians. But I couldn't resist the snark.)
O'reilly and Stewart seem to have fun at taking the piss out of each other. O'Reilly tows the company line, but I don't doubt that he seems to genuinly enjoy the to and fro between he and Jon. Hell, they probably have a latte together.
As there's no hell, so Stewart isn't going there. This so called "war" on Christmas is BS anyways. Looks like whining idiots like Bill O'Reilly have to bitch about something. He can't be happy without raging about something that doesn't even matter. GTFO and get real!

Im sorry, but im not pissed off by this, and why should any atheist be? We don't believe in hell....
He even gave Jon credit......
I don't care is he's going to hell. Compared to god, satan is a cool and reasonable guy.
