War on Christmas: Olbermann vs. O'Reilly

[addicted2p0rn]

wait a second. wen has bill o reilly ever sounded rational?

[baldurus1]

Here in scandinavia we call it jul(Yul). The 5000 year old pagan festival where children are warned about the jul goat who punishes bad children and rewards the good. The jul tree is adorned with decorations. Sound familiar?

Christians we want our holiday back, you have no right to celebrate jul in the name of your imaginary zombie.

[MrZeroTerrorRide]

Bush was excited to see Santa at the tree-lighting event. He asked Cheney if that was the "Really, really, REAL Santa."

[Neosaigo]

Bill O'Reilly and some bigots are stupid yet again.

Atheist simply don't give a crap about your God since they don't have proof God exist. You can say Merry Christmas, put up a Chrismas Tree, and have fun. Most atheist will simply enjoy a holiday season. Atheist don't take offense in people being religious as atheism is not even a religion.

Get it right.

Anti-theists however, is a bit more extreme. However, the only harm they can do is sharing an opinion that you don't want to hear.

[maniccrayon]

Two useless idiots arguing.

[000000poizen000000]

If O'Reilly knew anything about religion then he would know that Christmas is a pagan holiday. It is actually the Roman celebration of the birth of the unconquered sun.

Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus, children. :)

[mujinnokoya]

Fuck the troops and Christmas.  Al qaeda has the right idea. Time we support the real heroes.

[clipsryan]

@mujinnokoya No, fuck al qaeda too. Goddamn cowards can't even fight like men.

[groinhat]

"Political correctness gone mad" - the empty, meaningless but annoyingly loud war-cry of braindead populist gobshites all over the world.

Even in Europe we get this every year. "The PC-brigade have cancelled Christmas!" they gibber because they've read that some local council or fire chief in a town they've never heard of has banned some fuckwit from putting 5 tons of lights on a tree.

[TheOnlyAsianInBoaz]

I'm a conservative Christ-Follower and this made me laugh. I don't even like Keith but I'm pulling for him now because he honestly picked the funniest picture of Bill O'Reilly possible. I couldn't keep a straight face for half the videoo

[clipsryan]

@LoneLawMan I'd pick Jon over any Faux News moron any day. Atleast he doesn't have a agenda trying to take away or overshadow people's right. You cons are so fucking hypocritical.

[Bouncer9000]

I am having a difficult time seeing MSNBC's credibility and professionalism in their argument

[bneb22]

@LoneLawMan Agreed they love drinkin that kool aid

[Toastyfire45]

@bneb22 Listen, Conservatism is all about keeping everything the same man, don't argue with that it's the definition of conservatism,this shitty country we're living in right now keeping things the same really isn't going to work,or "we could get rid of them taxes an let everthing burn!" (Actual Quote from a moron)

So read up on your history, you'll find Progress(Lincoln,FDR,Obama)tru­mps conservatism(Mccarthy,Reagan,B­ush any day.

[clipsryan]

@bneb22 I know. Fucking conservative idiotic (that don't care about the facts and only want liberty when it's conveniant for them) sheep.

[railroadtrash09]

I'm an Independent, and the main reason I can't watch much of Olberman, is because 90% of his show is spent talking about Billo, Beck and Palin... Frankly, I think he jacks off to Billo! I would watch more if he would calm down on the name calling... Billo Billo Billo Billo Tea Bag! SHADDDUP ALREADY! Go debate Billo and set him straight or shut the hell up about him. Christ we got it...

[AudgeeNicole]

only fags wear PINK ties Olbermann

[clipsryan]

@AudgeeNicole Says the fagologist closet fag.

[19critter91]

FUCK O'REILLY AND ALL YOU REPUBLICAN CLOSET FAGS WHO AGREE WITH THAT SHIT DICK. every asshole republican i know is so thick skulled im supprised they could learn the ABC's by the time they were 10. Washington is of no issue.

[railroadtrash09]

What do think about Independents?

[indigojack99]

@19critter91 Why are you using the term "fag"? You realize that's offensive, for one thing, and it just makes you look intolerant. And since when did being gay become an insult? I understand your point or at least I think I know your criticism, but it would be alot more meaningful if you did'nt just use cheap shots like that.

[gilmore2773]

Olbermann needs to pull the loaded condom out of his ass. I'm sure his viewers will help him empty it

[patlavert]

@gilmore2773

LMAO! Olbermann's a joke with no credibility. Well, really he had very little to begin with. He spends his every waking moment attacking O'Reilly or Fox News because he's desperate for ratings, approval and to be taken seriously (just like that other MSNBC "journalist" Raymond Madcow). If F N didn't exist Olberman and Madcow couldn't even get work writing for a middles school newspaper. They are swimming in the wake of FN grasping for something-ANYTHING to become relevant.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert If what he is saying is true, what does it matter what the reasons are? I applaud anyone who attacks that fucking idiot and his pathetic Faux News.

[patlavert]

So if I interpreted your reply correctly then this is the definition of a "fucking idiot" according to that world reknown "genius" Mr. Clipsryan. fucking idiot - an articulate educated person who works his way through college graduates, works hard, earns a job hosting the first news magazine format tv show(now have dozensof copycats) writes best selling books and has had the number one rated cable political talk show for years now. If I was as ignorant as you I'd be afraid to open my mouth.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert Not even close. A fucking idiot is someone who thinks unproven and proven claims coexist. No christian scholar honestly thinks their religion had anything to do with their knowledge and therefore can't speak for said religion. Most wanna play the game but not put on the right jersey. Also, those examples of selling books and getting ratings is very easy to do with a promise of eternal life. Talk about ignorant.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan 1) You cannot support your ridiculous claim that: " not ONE scholar........thinks" (btw, I'm agnostic) 2) No promises of eternal life in the 3 books I've read nor do I recall his show making such promises. Do some research before you embarass yourself and make sweeping unsupported generalizations such as "Selling books and getting ratings is easy..." because you obviously know very little about O'Reilly or his life

[clipsryan]

@patlavert I've watched his show, it's pretty obvious who Bill is. Twisting information and faking emotion isn't for ratings? Get the fuck outta here.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

finallly 3) Regarding "eternal life" I don't believe in it, but I don't dismiss and ridicule the billions of religious followers of Judaism, Christianity, etc.....because I simply disagree. To ignore and avoid them with the assumption that they are all"crazy" or "fucking idiots" that have nothng to offer society or the world is truly ignorance at its best.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert You don't and I do. I don't need to walk on egg shells around people that think me and other deserve hell. I was one of them so it's kinda hard to ignore what I actually believed. Their religion has nothing to provide and nomatter how smart you are in other subjects you're still an idiot for believing things for no logical reason. Believing in things for no reason makes you an idiot? Sorry. Also, outside knowledge can never speak for the religion itself.

[patlavert]

its not "walking on eggshells" its called respecting and showing tolerance for other people and their beliefs/culture (and YES! even atheists such as you!). I love that those who bash religion to no end are always members of the so-called "party of tolerance, civil rights, equal rights, etc..." and show nothing but intolerance if you disagree with their views on anything. Finally, Re: "you are an idiot if you believe in things for no logical reasons" one word: Obama

[clipsryan]

@patlavert I don't tolerate any belief that preaches prejudice and the worship of hell and end of the world. Most of those "views on anything" are manipulated by a selfish agenda pressure by their religion. People already know this shit and I'm surprised you don't. One word: All religious morons regardless of their level of worship.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan As written before, I am agnostic. I think the Koran, Bible, etc... are nice little works of fiction used as instruments to control the general populace. And, I'm guessing that you must have been very badly and very personally hurt by one or more of these "instruments" during your life. Your hatred toward all religions is obvious. Fair enough. It appears that you are unyielding in your belief that everything in this world has to have a logical reason for existing.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan I know you are an educated person by your writings here so I will ask you one question that I'm curious to read your answer to: What do you think is the most logical reason for man's existence? (or if you like, lol the infamous "Why are we here?" question by most religious peoples)

[clipsryan]

@patlavert Thanks for the compliment. I must grant you the same. The question of why we are here is irrelevant along with the answers many provide. The important thing is that we are here and it's more enjoyable to be kind to one another. It helps societies survive and makes life more enjoyable. Everyone applies there own reason for living and that's fine. My reason for wanting to continue living is based on my goals in life. Hope that answers your question.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert It's not about me being hurt, it's about the millions of other people that have been, are being and will be hurt by religion. The most harm done to me is the fear of hell and god's wrath. You don't get anywhere worrying about a reason for something existing. The function of ("reason") a snake's venom is for killing it's prey. The reason snake's exist is subjectic and irrelevant. I'm more interested in any logical reason in thinking a religion is true and so why I should care.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan I understand your point here. However, I differ a little bit on the "you don't get anywhere worrying about a reason for something existing." Some examples that I would point to here are clouds, moon's gravitational pull, the ozone layer, etc.... I would think at some time a person wondered "What is the purpose of clouds? the ozone layer, the moon? etc.. Its true most reason for existence are subjectic. But I would not agree that they are all irrelevant. ty

[clipsryan]

@patlavert You're talking about functionality, not the reason those things were put into existense to do what they do. There is only one reason that people apply of which I find irrelevant and that's "god did it". My thought is that there is no reason and all we know is things are here and they do what they do. Also, I'm curious if I answered you're "meaning of life" question to your liking.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

Well, again let me reiterate that i'm not endorsing "God did it" theory. I understand your point on functionality and agree you are correct in advising that the reasons they exist are irrelevant. I think what you missed in my post is that because humans asked and continue to ask "why" something exists it at times leads to useful information/knowledge/discover­eis,etc.. Conversely, lol it can lead to the ridiculous as well (Religion, scientology etc...

[clipsryan]

@patlavert Right but understanding "WHY" something exists when we don't truly know how it did, makes the why irrelevant and to be honest impossible to answer.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

Apologies, I only commented on your most recent post and am just now reading these that I missed. I understand what you are conveying via "makes the why irrelevant....." However, I am not trying to write that I believe we need to understand why something exists. What I am purporting is that because past, present and future humans did, do and will wonder "why" something exists, our species has benefitted from the information regardless of not understanding it entirely.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert I'd attribute that information based on the "how" things exists based on their functionality and evolution but whatever.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

Well honestly does it really matter if your answer was "to my liking?" Not so much to a cereberal person likeyour self I think. My opinion on your answer is that it is as good as any I"ve read or heard. My answer to the infamous "why are we here?" question is "I honestly don't know and probably never will." I could give you the looney left's/statist's pc answer "To help mankind thrive, evolve and peacefully coexist," but I can't endorse somethng that I know will not ever happen

[clipsryan]

@patlavert You confuse my curiosity of your opinion with concern of your opinion. Your answer actually goes towards the question of why should we moral and care for your fellow man. If we are here to thrive and coexist, we should already have been doing that at a higher rate. Some say we are here to kiss a god's ass and others say we are here to do what we want regardless of the punishment. The Why? isn't important but the How? (when applied to enjoying life more and biology) is.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan I chuckled at "you confuse my...." Was not my intention to reflect that you had concern of my opinion at all, but then that is the limitation of written communications. When you asked "Was.....to your liking?" I assumed you had interest in my opinion but not overall concern for it. I mean, obviously our past post exchanges show that we're definitely NOT about whether either of us likes the others view! And I've given some thought to my opinion of "why are we here?" cont...

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

Perhaps we're here as a huge petri dish experiment by highly superior beings whom want to see and record where we as a species end up when left to our own devices with no outside interference?

[clipsryan]

@patlavert That would be as relevant as replacing those beings with god but if we are, we still shouldn't worry about that because I find that disgusting.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan To expound on my last post I believe the reason makind will never be able to coexist peacefully, work together so everyone thrives worldwide, etc.. is the survival instinct permanently imbedded in our dna. It inevitably leads to selfishness in the vast majority of humans globally. Take famine for example. Am I going to share my life sustaining food with the family in the hut next to mine whom are close to death and endanger myself and my family? No I am not.

[clipsryan]

@patlavert I agree though our brains are too evolved to let genes rule us. There's being selfish and there's being smart. Sometimes generosity and selfishness have limits and we're able to understand those limits. Sometimes people don't look at the bigger picture and are generous but stupid in this generosity along with selfishness.

[patlavert]

@clipsryan

Well put. Excellent point. It befuddles me personally that, at least in my experiences, smart people are usually ridiculed (I.e. "nerds, bookworms, geeks, wimps..etc..) dismissed, minimized, etc....from grade school age even up to college age. Now that the USA has fallen to 13th place in quality of public education among the developed/developing nations maybe that will change in the near future?

[skully19801]

@patlavert For one thing, you don't have to be a good person or even remotely talented to write a best selling book (i.e. Chelsea Handler) Secondly, his short stint on inside edition was deplorable. I know you've seen the way he talked to his staff on the video of him freaking out for not being able to understand the way the English language is written. Also, don't talk like he invented inside edition. He wasn't even the first host. David Frost was. So, who sounds like the idiot now?

[patlavert]

@skully19801

Re: So, who sounds like the idiot now?

You and Olberman are, you two make a great couple.

[skully19801]

@patlavert Wow, you really showed me. I guess facts confuse you.

[patlavert]

@skully19801

No, idiots do.

[skully19801]

@patlavert well you're a stupid fuck that has no idea what he is talking about. but keep blindly following fox news and never questioning their reliabilty. I guess you like being pist about nonexistent matters. Fuckin' moron.

[patlavert]

@skully19801 Facts: 1) I NEVER claimed O’Reilly was first host/inventor of Inside Edition. IF you could read and comprehend, you will see I wrote: “earns a job hosting the first news magazine format TV show…” 2) O’Reilly has had FIVE books reach #1 on the bestseller list (not one as you infer). 3) “pist” is spelled p-i-s-s-e-d. 4) You are terribly unarmed for ANY battle of wits. 5) MSNBC kicked Olbermann out the door with 2 years left on his contract. Oh, I mean. Olbie “quit” lol

[skully19801]

@patlavert @patlavert Well let's continue to play the "you're a stupid asshole" game. 1) i never said O'reilly only wrote one best selling book or even hinted towards that assumption. I merely stated that you do not have to be talented or know what you're talking about in order to sell books. You need only mindless people whom are easily scared. 2) i had no idea that grammar was so important to you when writing a comment on youtube. 3) Olbermann really has nothing to do with my argument.

[skully19801]

@patlavert My argument is based on the fake war on christmas that doesn't exist and is only commented on by O'reilly in order to start a false outrage that is only believed by morons (i.e. you) so that he can raise his ratings and build public outrage around something insignificant. 4) you absolutely implied that O'reilly was the first to host inside edition. 5) Anyone can tell another person they are unarmed for a battle of wits when they can deny things they have said.

[skully19801]

@patlavert It is easy to declare victory when denying fact and reason. 6) If we truly are having a battle of wits, you are about as prepared as a child is for a college course. You have a great inabilty to focus on the subject (the war on christmas) and a comprehensive inability to understand that you're ideology is not under attack, your ability to have a logical thought is. However, I am impressed with your ability to use caps lock in order to AMPLIFY your MORONIC opinion.

[skully19801]

@skully19801 Now that we have sufficiently insulted each other, let's talk about the true intention of our initial comments. Where have you seen a war on christmas? please provide data to back up these claims as I will use in order to nullify you statement.

[skully19801]

@skully19801 my bad, i meant your not you're. Wouldn't want you to become confused over a misspelled word again.

[patlavert]

@skully19801

Talk about inability to focus! LMAO! FACT: : My original position had NOTHING to do with the "Fake War on Christmas" AND NEVER DID! it did NOT EVEN INVOLVE YOU until YOU decided to inject yourself into the debate between myself and clipsryan. FACT: The argument was over Clipsryan sayiing O'Reilly is a "fucking idiot......etc.." FACT: The ONLY thing you've "nullified" is any hope you had of being seen as intelligent, dignified or likable in any way. See you next Tuesday!

[patlavert]

@skully19801

Re: "So who sounds like the idiot now?"

Easy answer. Yourself and Olberman.  You two make a nice couple.

[patlavert]

@skully19801

Re: "So who sounds like the idiot now?"

Easy answer. Yourself and Olberman do. You two make a nice couple.

[er20092009]

hahaha...has anyone seen Olbermann's ratings lately.....hahahaha

NO ONE IS WATCHING HIM!!!!!

haha...there are more view here on youtube that people who actually saw this rant live...HAHAHAHA

[Lakeportable]

That is the best fricken impersonation i've ever heard lol

[Ledzeppy333]

If you liberals hate traditional values and self-responsibility so much, you can go ahead and drive your Toyota Priuses to Canada.

America is the land of opportunity,

not the land of hand-outs!

[MrInterceptor100]

@Ledzeppy333

You dont deserve to use the name Led Zepp, you piece of s*#. Led Zepp is liberal oriented band, btw. Go listen to lynard skynard, go eat your road kill and go watch faux news, redneck prick.

[batongbakalpare]

jesus conservatives are fucking stupid. of course, that may be a compliment to their cause, as they lambast education and intellectualism as elitist and anti-american. i hate conservatives. i wish they'd all fucking move to some dumbfuck island.

[Polar515]

right on bro!

[mikeyman211]

Olbermann's impression sounds more like Homer Simpson that Bill O'Reilly.

But seriously, is this how much of an issue O'Reilly is making out of a simple well wishing "Happy Holidays"? That's disgraceful.

[strayster2]

I think the impression is actually Ted Baxter.

[Juggernauticali]

Christians are so insecure that if they don't hear the words praising their phony, non-existent savior then they completely lose it. Forget the fact that there are billions of people on this planet who celebrate festivals other than christmas this time of year, and forget the fact that christmas is nothing more than a pagan festival itself. Nope, facts never get in the way of a good christian.

[mikeyman211]

Word.

[alokamei]

and you're a conservative one.

[darkelfpictures]

@alokamei

Well said!

[drab100]

olbermann rocks

[DNRvideos]

and what does encouraging people to buy shit have to do with "christianity" ?? thats all Xmas is...another commercial opportunity....what a joke!

[elecTR1C323]

jeez olbermann youre so annoying shut the f*** up... i mean seriously you act like a baby.

[cptjango]

ehm then stop looking at his show or videos of him.......then he isn't able to annoy you anymore :D

and just let us make fun of bill o'reilly...it's a free world ;)

[rexzre]

and O'Reilly dosn't

[moneyguy66]

Hahaha Olberman is an idiot ...He says O'reilly has to fill his show with crap news because there is none at that time of year, yet Olberman just went on for 5 minutes complaining about O'reilly.....Hmmmmmmmm..Not very news worthy to me

[rexzre]

yes and O'Reilly has such important topics as

false statements of americans killing germans when they surrendered

encouraging alquida to attack san fran sisco

need i go on

or would you prefer just to revael in your own dream world

[moneyguy66]

Yes O'Reilly is an idiot too, but that doesn't make Olbermann brighter and still doesn't prove that Olbermann is not filling his shows with crap

[rexzre]

then prove olbermann wrong moneyguy66 then you can talk

[BoredomCorner]

What crap?

[JARomero88]

olbermann is despicable. He's just jelous that he is nowhere near as popular as o'reilly. Envious prick.

[laetrille]

well that is true

[backwoodsninja]

Yes, O'Reilly can be a prick. But I don't know how anyone can stand to watch Olbermann. I get the feeling that Olbermann thinks about O'Reilly as he goes to sleep at night. He's totally obsessed with him.

[laetrille]

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!

[jfmoynihan]

O olbermann, you loveable dumb fuck

[redribbon]

Olbermann is retarded, O'Reilly is so much more intelligent. Olbermann is completely jealous of him. He cant stop talking about O'Reilly, kinda funny.

[akinadownhillace]

If by intelligent do you mean, MOTHERFUCKER, GO GET ME SOME ICE TEA!!! Is that intelligent? No. Neither is discriminating the United States Constitution in favor of the Jebus kool aid. Don't like the law of the land? Get the fuck out you religious fucktard.

[twty9091]

what an asshole. olberman is really obsessed with oreilly. maybe its because more intelligent people watch oreilly. (and more people in general)

[mav2400]

Its true. Olbermann also reads the stuff said by O'Reilly, because if he played the clip it would sound rational.

[rbgsolomon]

Keith is cool. Anyone that makes it a point to put Bill O Liely on blast is alright by me. Keep it it up Keith.

[mav2400]

Bill is not a liar. He called the quiz a holiday quiz because he had questions that did not relate to Christmas. How could he call it a Christmas quiz if he had questions about Kwanzaa on it?

[keyzone72]

God! this guy is awful! No wonder MSNBC has such terrible ratings! His voice is so annoying.

[joespeed87]

When will Bill O'Reilly ever realized that he is the dumbest jackass on the planet?

[welcometomoes]

Funny thing is you entitled this "Olbermann vs. O'Reilly" yet it's just Olbermann talking about O'Reilly. He should actually fight with O'Reilly face to face and quit being a liberal coward.

[marxy2]

LOL. Yea, Keiths the coward, You know somethin' buddy I've never heard Oreilly mention his name, he cant say it.

[rexzre]

what's olberman name gotta do with him being a coward ?

[welcometomoes]

@marxy2 lol uhh... what?

[SerialKiller2012]

Wow, 'christmas is a federal holiday honoring a religious man, jesus' what ever happend to secularism. What a sad fucking man...

[fuzzmaniac]

Festivus for the rest of us!

[NefeshChaim]

Maybe we should have another patriot act for the war on Christmas, heaven knows what will happen if a christmas tree and annoying jingles aren't played in every public setting.

[EnigmaHood]

Lol dumbasses. God doesn't exist, and Jesus was just a stupid dumbass who got his ass nailed to a piece of wood. Merry Shitmass fuckoz! :)

[Dblitzen]

Keith Von Ribbentrop

[IABOY4444]

O'Reilly is an IDIOT!

[apoure25]

jesus christ msnbc is such crap

[snookumsthacat]

seriously.. big surprise olbermann doesn't point out the argument that the sign would have been fine if it weren't trying to get its point across in a very hateful manner. olbermann gives liberals that don't yell retarded and distorted arguement points(if there are any) a bad name.

[olbermanblows]

olbermann needs to loose the ladies eyewear and stop acting like a panty waste nancy boy- what a twat!

[phenom65]

I think Bill would whip KO in a fight too.

[Losertarian]

AntiConformist? I've never seen a more conformist hack on this entire website.

[treskall1]

Notice how Olbermann sounds like a sped up version of himself whenever he quotes and tries to imitate Bill O'Reilly.

[w0g4life]

Go Olbermann!! O'reilly and FOX News' War on Christmas Bull is soo funny!

[tomacalin86]

this is for Bill'O. we have a Romanian saying here: HAI SICTIR (meaning "go f*ck yourself").

[snookumsthacat]

who the fuck cares about a romanian saying? lmao was that supposed to give it credibility? NOONE CARES! HAHAHA

[tomacalin86]

Try looking it up on the Urban Dictionary, under S for "sictir" (and I think you do care, or you wouldn't have had replied. or are you a little limited, incapable of learning something new?)

Have a great year, Snookums.

[snookumsthacat]

I think everyone believes that your saying exists.. I commented because I thought that your comment was hillarious. It was so stupid that you would actually post something so meaningless that I had to tell you how dumb you are in case you didn't already know.
