O'Reilly Ambushes Elementary School For 'War On Christmas

[PurpleShades1]

I agree with the woman at 2:08

[admullan]

this video just oozes self-righteousness

[mattygaeg5]

"I don't even know what Diwali is." What great reporting. They just want to listen to their side of the story and not care about anyone else's opinions.

[AvalonDraconis]

I wouldn't be surprised if the parents against santa were actually Christians. But we all know Fox lies and distorts everything.

[RMabee88]

Mr.O'reilly Y U Ruining News?

[Passa91]

LOL YEAH WHAT'S DIWALI?!?! GUYS? HAHAHA HOW FUNNY IS IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE CULTURALLY RETARDED.

[Boldermonkey]

Idiots,sigh fcking idiots.

[reuntes]

> stalking a dude around town and harassing him.

> "polite discourse"

[veganvvarrior]

They should have hit the reporter with an umbrella.

[youtubinfool]

Also Jesse waters is pretty sickening. He's like Jabbas little snickering pet with a constant ugly shit eating grin.

[Shatonmedeek]

@youtubinfool salacious crumb?

[youtubinfool]

"Diwali? whats Diwali?"

Fuck you Bill. If you expect me to take your bullshit seriously you should at least respect others beliefs.

[losghost]

Why is it such a big to have religion in school? What's wrong with keeping that at home?

O'Reilly really isn't an american. A true American supports the constitution of the United States and considers that the last word, not the bible.

Listen to dumb and dumber's banter at 4:00 and replace the word christmas with ramadon. This is too dumb for words. Bill-O is an utter moron.

[AvalonDraconis]

These people are morons. No religion in schools! People who want to practice a particular religion, then fine. Have your holiday and celebrations at home. I am a Pagan parent, and I would not want my children going to school being indoctrinated into thinking that they are "evil" or whatever else these fundies like to promote.

[Shatonmedeek]

@AvalonDraconis Why does anyone care? If you think that your kids would be indoctrinated into thinking that they are "evil" that reflects on your skills as a parent. Teach your kids to have a pride of what they were raised as; but at the same time be tolerant of everyone else. Why not have any kid that goes to that school celebrate however they or their parent deem necessary. If I seem some kid walk into a classroom with a dreidel I dont get offended, I think wow that's different and move on...

[AvalonDraconis]

@Shatonmedeek There should be no religion in schools, other than being taught in a history class. To promote one religion over another promotes discrimination and is against the constitution. Personal celebrations are fine, just like personal prayers.  But no teacher or school led religious activities.

[Shatonmedeek]

@AvalonDraconis I agree fully with no teacher led religious activities or anything promoted over anything else, it's just that why even care? I believe whatever I want to believe and everyone else can do the same, if there is a Christmas tree in my classroom it doesn't offend me, because if I let it, I would have just let a tree with a bunch of hanging shit on it offend me regardless if you interpret it to represent some religion.

[AvalonDraconis]

@Shatonmedeek The problem is that many people *do* care - mostly Christians by the way. There is an active movement going on to force Christianity back into schools and into laws, preventing many freedoms we enjoy today. Teaching creationism as fact, outlawing homosexuality and abortion, returning women to "the kitchen", revoking civil rights... It's maddening. So that is why I care. I don't want religious zealots turning the US in a theocracy.

[Shatonmedeek]

@AvalonDraconis again, I agree. It's just that Christmas, as it is celebrated today, has little to do with religion IMO. It's about something else entirely (money mostly), which is why I think there are bigger fish to fry than giving a shit about Christmas in classrooms, those bigger fish would be the things you listed above. My whole point is that there is a difference between blinking lights and a Christmas tree and teaching Creationism as fact in a classroom..

[meltdown1232000]

PC America is a joke. It's just a way to let the tail wag the dog.

We have schools spending so much time trying to PC the kids, that we're producing morons while the students of other countries pass ours in leaps and bounds.

[BoredomCorner]

@meltdown1232000 So how do you explain all of the right-wing imbeciles who think that America was a Christian-centric nation from day one, and that the Constitution somehow only applies to white rich Christians?

[meltdown1232000]

@BoredomCorner the same way I explain those on the left that are ruining America...MORONS!

[cne08]

This is one time I agree with Bill. The guy who callled police on the reporter is a coward.

[BoredomCorner]

@cne08 If the reporter was trespassing, then he had no legal right to be there. Period.

[SatNamTree]

The reporter claims to be "helping out the kids". What exactly is he doing to make that happen?

[HateRepublicans]

unlreal what fox news has done to the country, why don't they talk about the economy they helped destroy

unreal how these people are allowed to exist with us

[Zero20020220]

What an asshole.

Shove a camera in someone's face, tell them they're ruining christmas for children, and then pretend that "We're very intimidating" when he refuses to put up with their bullshit.

O'reily needs to kill himself.

[kandindf]

Candy canes, food Allergies? Okay lets ban wheat, peanuts, and milk, because of food allergies. Where does it stop?

[kandindf]

What is wrong with a candy canes? Rudolph, and Santa. It is not like they want to put up God and Jesus pictures.

[cshoem3793]

I generally side with O'reilly in principle on this but he makes himself look foolish and ethnocentric when he calls it a "War on Christmas" (though he is correct in that Christmas is usually singled out) In reality, its a war on Christmas, Hanukkah, Dawali and any other holiday cultural celebration. This is not rocket science: lets embrace all cultural traditions not suppress them. In this effort for political correctness, both minority religions and the majority religion are being shunned.

[Azrael24]

This is stupid. I generally do not side with O'Reilly, but I do in this. As a Christian I do not support Halloween, but I also don't petititon people to stop celebrating it and yes schools celebrate it..it is a RELIGIOUS holiday for anyone who knows history. If you don't celebrate it, don't celebrate it! It's that simple.

[BoredomCorner]

@Azrael24 Government institutions aren't allowed to endorese one religion to the exclusion of all others.

Read the Constitution -- that's history too. (and incidentally, so is All Saint's Day borrowing from Halloween).
