  • I live in Massusetts. Bill just hates us cuz he can't drive here without getting in a car accident.

  • o` Reily

  • Is o'reilly dead yet? Damn.

  • Im an atheist who celebrates christmas. I also celebrate halloween but i dont believe in satan. I celebrate valentines day but I dont believe in cupid, and I celebrate st patricks day but i dont believe in magic rainbows of pots of gold.

  • @420simpson magic rainbows and pots of gold really have little to do with St. Patrick's day anyway, its a Catholic Feast Day. :)

  • ''They really hate us up there, huh?''. No, they hate you everywhere.

  • Um. The only reason why christmas makes me uncomfortable is the consumerism. Not to mention like valentines day. Who are these pathetic losers who need to be told to spend time and money on their kids, families, wives etc. Take your fing GF out to dinner sometime. Its so artificial and fake. I mean heres a present i was socially obligated to buy you. We're good till next year now right?

  • Die O'Reilly

  • "This town is held hostage by secular proggressives" If there is ever a sentence that shows fox true colors its this one.

    secular means separation of church and state. That is constitution. second ammendment.

    Holding hostage a town by celebrating and wishing merry christmas to everyone who doesnt watch fox news?

  • Who is this Turk faggot?

  • Did that guy seriously just say "Cool and hip"?

  • christmas is awesome. regardless of your belief in god

  • @MrVincentR whats even more awesome is how nobody at fox or their viewers seem to know that christmas originally had nothing to do with christianity/jesus to begin with. and that it was hijacked from the pagans!!

  • You know, as terrible as O'Reilly is, Limbaugh is worse.

  • @dvader999 YOU SIR are .... 1000% correct

  • Who would vote against Christmas? Jehovah's Witnesses, d'oh!

  • O'Really?

  • Jordan Maxwell -- The Hidden Dimension in World Affairs Part 1/5

  • Anthropogenic Global Warming is a farce.

    That is all.

  • Christianity may be an exclusionary religion, but Christmas (luckily) has virtually nothing to do with Christianity these days.

    I hate to tell you this bill, but we (secularists) stole your holiday. I mean what does Santa Claus drinking Coca Cola have to do with Jesus?

  • Bright shiny lights doesnt make Christmas. Peace, acceptance, and respect of everyone makes a religious holiday religious.

    Bill O Reilly= biggest hypocrite and media hog ever.

  • Bill O'reilly is an embarrassment to the human race...

  • This whole issue was about how the town could put up lights that were more energy efficient. It had nothing to do with voting away Christmas. You Conservatives need to get a fucking life and stop lying about everything.

  • I generally side with O'reilly on this in principle 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.

  • Bullshit, I don't have to embrace any thing, go fuck yourself.

  • Ok thats fine you don't have to embrace anything personally, but society as a whole is headed down a slippery slope with not what I would call appropriate secularization but radical secularization. I'm not a person of faith, but all cultural religious traditions are currently being diminished in the west in this interest of some sort of artificial nonexistent standard of secularization. Society should try to respect all religious traditions and their unique qualities, not shun them.

  • What fathead8489 said to you was extremely rude and what your trying to describe "ideally," is a Utopian society where everyone is accepted/tolerant of all faiths. However that isn't the case and in public environments, where they're major divisions in cultures/beliefs only two options are available to remain neutral.

    1) acknowledge ALL faiths in public society, to remain neutral. (This is difficult b/c it promotes divisions)

    2) acknowledge NO faiths, in public society to remain neutral.

  • I tend to agree with you, sure, let's coexist, but there is a fundamental problem with this and you can see it with bigots like O'Reilly. Everybody wants their faith to be the only one allowed as official, truth, etc. It certainly is the war O'Reilly is waging. He wants Christmas to be the only official holiday. He doesn't accept any other and wants to distort history (Christmas wasn't even legal at the birth of this country).

  • True atheist writing here. O'Reilly is using Christmas as code for white christian society. Granted he can't say war on white christian culture so he has to substitute "Christmas". As a white male myself I can sympathize to a degree with what he's saying, but in your eyes that would make me a bigot right? On the contrary jewish solidarity or black solidarity is something to be admired against white christian solidarity which is racism. Starting to see the hypocrisy? All religions are lies.

  • So, secularization says, like a mother to her children: "if you can't share a toy, then neither of your will play with it." Simple as that. The fact is, we can't coexist, not with people that are waging cultural "wars" on others, so secularization is the only solution, and still, not a perfect solution. Bigots will always exist.

  • shut the fuck up you don't know shit.

    my cat's litterbox knows better then you.

  • @feh2 hahaha sure, I'll shut the fuck up when you cease to be a redneck-taliban!

  • I like how you simple minded young turks take everything out of context. There are people out there who just hate christmas and want everyone else to join in their misery. It's a federal holiday that most americans celebrate and the atheist try to downplay it because they are just sad and miserable people to begin with.

  • Atheists are americans too, and they don't want it as a federal holiday because it's a god damned christian holiday. By the way, christmas is a christian holiday, Christ is in the fucking name you idiot!!! Almost EVERY NON-CHRISTIAN doesn't celebrate christmas. You're fucking stupid man. Oh, and i'm quite happy with my life, but i guess you mean every atheist with the exception of me.

  • No religion is required to enjoy yourself with friends and family around the holidays. I celebrate christmas and easter and all that and I don't believe for a second that the bible is anything more than a storybook. I don't NEED to.

  • Are you retarded?

    This is why atheist, like myself, feel the need to make known our disbelief and the reasons behind it. Ignorant people like you just make the world that much worse.

    "...You just don't celebrate Christmas because you dont have friends or family who cares for you." You realize that not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas, right? Plus, Jess was born in he summer. Christmas was only moved to the time it is at now to discourage the Pagan Winter Solstice. You stole our day.

  • Merry Christmas!!!!

  • 0:50 She has got the right idea

  • I am no fan of O'Reilly but he is misrepresented here. He never said "let's have a vote on christmas" he asked if they had a vote in that town would the majority of the people vote for or against the celebration christmas.

  • you know for a guy who keeps saying he loves america

    he seems to hate a great deal of the cities and towns within it

  • Wow, really? People are idiots.

  • Haha Fox saved Christmas last year? can they solve the middle east crisis for us as well?

  • I only watch this O,Reilly vids is because its hilarious when he yells

  • o'reilly you are just a racist cunt, christmas is a pagan celebration, jesus wasnt born 25th december

  • in my country christians celebrate the birth of jesus and everyone buys shit no one needs for presents lights have nothing to do with it

  • I'm from New England, and O'Reilly thinks we are under the rule of secular progressives. Please send in the troops for a third front onthe war!

  • This December, Vote YES on Christmas.

  • i believe that fox news can get away with anything and there listening will keep on listening and never question

  • who? my grandma everynight for the past x amount of years.

  • and look what that got her!! look at how old she is

  • I don't watch FOX. Did that religious fanatic bitch just wish me a Merry Christmas?

  • why u say that

  • They decided to turn their lights off early in order to save energy and thus he decides it's an "attack on christmas"?

    Come on, O'Reilly. Seriously?

  • "Merry Christmas to everyone who doesn't watch Fox." Lmfao. XD

  • I find it funny all these people thumbs down on O'Reilly. Probably jealousy or an igonorant mind. I do agree that Christmas does promote items rather than actually celebrate what it's meant for. All I have to say is suck it up...

  • .... Jealous.

    .... Of an arrogant, ignorant, hate-spewer who just gets people riled up because he doesn't know any better and doesn't want to know any better.

    Yeah.. that's right. Jealous.. Mmmhmm.

  • HAHAHa thats not what its about.... They dont let people decorate thats what it is you dumb fuck.... Thats what he is mad about that they wont let certain people set up lights cause they want to be politacly correct you dumb shit...

  • Bill O'Reilly is a embarrassment to American and his Irish Heritage...

  • after you, please.

  • if you can watch billo and this poodle and not see that they're a force for bad there must be something wrong

  • Giving presents is a meaningless ritual meant to buoy capitalism by guilting people into purchasing things no one needs. Love is not things. I would vote NO to Christmas.

  • O'reily doesn't know that people hate him?

    I wish I had my own little world to live in....

  • wow who has the higher ratings? does it rly matter the fact is that TYT is ultimatly just they are not loyal to anyone they tend to favor obama but thats because they think he is a great man etc... but they also mention his mistakes , ppl can disagree with them but dissing them just proves youre a ignorant retard

  • I vote "No" on X-Mas. Just an excuse for people who are assholes 364 days to not feel bad because they are nice that one day.

  • lol.

  • the grinch that tried to steal christmas

  • Hahaha - I love these people. "Merry Christmas to anyone that doesn't watch Fox!"

    That would be me.

  • "Who takes this guy seriously?"

    Too many people...too many people...

  • Look, can we vote on Halloween first or St. Patricks day? Why can't we vote on whether Bill O'Reilly tosses Rupert Murdoc's salad or not?

  • wow............... im confused...........

  • "merry chrismas to everyone that doesn't watch fox".... that was cute phrase from a cute girl :))

  • "...we saved christmas...." wooooow.

  • He didn't say he wanted us to vote on Christmas, he wanted to get an opinion of a more deeply analyzed view of the public opinion on Christmas. The guy at the end took it out of context to bash O'Reilly. It's a pretty typical liberal tactic that's nothing more than ignoring true implications and only focusing on a few words that benefit their argument most. The Young Turks shouldn't be taken seriously and this comment will probably will be removed because the author simply doesn't agree with it.

  • Comment removed

  • As Cenk might say: "Of course!" He knows the majority of Americans are Xians and the majority is always right! Just ask a lemming.

  • Actually, Christmas is probably the only decent thing that ever came out of Christianity. Long live Christmas and down with Christianity.

  • Christmas came from the pagans its a pagan holiday so don't be so fast saying Christianity has actually done something good

  • ...

  • Because it was the pagan winter solstice festival taken on by the christians as was easter which was a fertility festival originally known as eastore. None of that really matters though as it was only the dates and a few customs that were taken on by christianity; the spirit of christmas is christian is and always will be despite the commercialisation

  • Terence you are such a fool, please check your facts before you make an idiot of yourself...

  • Hahaha "Marry Christmas to everyone who doesn't watch Fox" Priceless!

  • Not really. Very intolerant.

  • bill is a dick, and a dried up one

  • Shut your pie hole O'Reilly.

  • I'm an atheist. Most of my friends are atheist. I've yet to meet someone who wanted to get rid of Christmas. Bill has invented an enemy in his head.

  • I agree!

  • @fathead8489

    You evil Atheist, just admit that Bill won the war on Christmas! (Hahaha just kidding)

  • Comment removed

  • @fathead8489 I'm an atheist. I know that the "Christian" holiday of Christmas is complete bullshit. It was invented by Pagans and stolen by Christianity. Yet, I can't help but love that time of year as well. :) As long as people don't call me a hypocrite for being an atheist and celebrating Christmas because then it's on.

  • @ForceRecon198 Pagans didn't invent Christmas. The Pagan holiday is Yule, not Christmas. Christmas is the Feast of the Nativity of Jesus Christ. The dates are similar, the holidays are not. Pagans do not own days of the year and they certainly do not have a monopoly on basing holidays around the solstices and equinoxes.  Its illogical to say that because they have a similar date, one holiday is a ripoff of another. The Christian Church wanted to supplant Yule, not steal it.

  • Is it really that big of a deal if Christmas lights are turned off after 10? How many people are still out about checking out lights that late anyway? The far right is always trying to make issues out of nothing.

  • wow they are so into them selve that they think there the heros of the holidays? that's just sad, let the people do there own thing, The only holiday that needs lights is Honica, and I doubt he give a rats ass about the Jew's holidays. I don't I'm not Jewish, they can do whatever they want.

  • Its funny, because of the "elites" I know, they're all really into the spirit of giving behind Christmas. Its mostly the people I know who regularly listen to Bill Orally who suck at Christmas

  • i would vote no on christmas just to piss off oreillys ignorant ass.

  • hahaha the townspeople in those clips make me proud

  • LOL....why don't you listen a smidge instead automatically assume this is some sort of attack. I love how people just can't wait to jump on a non-story like this.

    It is a bit ridiculous. Are Christmas lights in a small town really going to mely polar ice caps? If they were so concerned, why put them up at all?

    This is silly to me, and regardless of my feelings of Bill O, this video by the YoungTurks reeks of trying to make something out of nothing.

  • They are trying to reduce their carbon footprint. They are trying to do their part O'Reilly what are you doing you two bit ass-clown?

  • ho ho ho vote No on Christmas!

  • I love presents! Now Christmas with no presents, I'd totally would vote no on that. That would be a waste of time.

  • Vote on Christmas? Isn't that like voting on whether there is a 26th of December?

    Vote on the 4th of July!

  • voting on july 4th is actually a good idea, i love it.

  • Whats sad & scary is the power this jerk o'reilly has, & the way he terrorize a small town.

  • lol thank you, "who takes them seriously"

  • who goes out to look at christmas lights after 10 pm anyways?

  • Yea, christmas lights, real important news bill.

  • Yep, I'm kind of glad we have people like Bill O'Reilly around. Kind of makes me forget that our nation is perched on the edge of an economic abyss.

  • exactly... O'Reilly is great entertainment to me, but not a news source.

  • news flash to Billo, it's not just those people who hate you, a lot of people do. "Save Christmas." What twaddle.

    What does he think he is, some sort of christian superhero?

    Christmas is the sum total of what everyone feels about Christmas...if that is moving in a direction Bill Oreilly doesn't like, well that's life. We don't always get what we want.

    Have christmas lights and say merry christmas, doesn't bother me, but Bill is mental about it.

  • Bill O'Reilly is a ceremonial figure head who gets on the public airwaves and pays lip service to something resembling news while actually giving us niche entertainment. Was that story really even news worthy? This is something you would see on the Tyra Banks show. Does anybody even care? Mainstream media is dead. Investigative journalism is back in vogue.

  • O'Reilly is a turd. Hope he gets stuck in the cold this christmas on the way to the strip club.

  • 'they're thankful we saved Christmas last year' oh my god- what an ass. Way to go...you saved Christmas...they should make a special on how Fox saved Christmas...Jack Bauer can blow up some 'secular progressives', or maybe torture them..it'd be sweet!.

  • Use LED Xmas lights if you must light up. They use about 1/10 the power consumption of standard incandescent bulbs.

  • I vote YES on O'Reilly drowning in a vat of Aids Infested Cum...

  • I second that vote! :3

  • LOVE IT.. 'Merry Christmas to everyone who doesn't watch Fox' .. That girl is brilliant!

  • Wanting to reduce carbon emissions is controversial?

    The US is going down the toilet, one O'Really crazy show at a time.

  • Bill O'Reilly: Saving christmas one town at a time.

  • Bills sofa king reetar dead......... lol... type this in and click on "audio preview"

  • i vote yes on bill taking a .45 and shooting himself in the head

  • I second that proposition.

  • I vote YES on O'Reilly being a koolaid drinker.

  • Fuck Fox News and fuck Bill O'reilly

  • jesse watters is a fucking retard, what a fucking cunt

  • What a horrible state Christmas is in where a town of about 7000 people in a country of about 300 million people turn off their Christmas lights. Obviously they're taking over. Only 99.997% of the country left.

  • Great Barrington ;Is no alone we hate you here in Miami Beachdont dare to come for a vacation..we trully hate Bill.

  • Bill is a tard, but the brain washed, racist fox news sheeple really like him. :)

  • O'Reilly saying this is pathetic is like Silas Marner saying Donald Trump is miserly.

    Why are the holiday lights needed after 10:00 PM anyway? There aren't any shoppers and the kids should be in bed.

  • there are a lot worse things to say to someone than "merry christmas" or "happy holidays" but everyone has to make it evil or something...haha

  • Do you have any proof? You don't have any proof. So stop talking bullshit.

  • the burden of proof is on you.

  • NewChristianSoldiers are neither "new" nor "Christian". You make a laughing stock of Christianity by calling yourself a Christian. If you don't think a person born in the United States to a US mother is a natural born citizen then you are simply a natural born lunatic.

  • u are a dumb fucking cunt

  • This is only written as a warning to all those who seem bent on responding to

    "NewChristianSoldiers". Do yourself a favor and don't bother. This guy has been spamming numerous video's comment sections with the same message. The best thing to do is whenever and wherever you see it:

    1. Thumbs down.

    2. Most importantly: mark as spam.

  • "NewChristianSoldiers"??!! hahahaha... what kind of dumb redneck nick is this?!! hahahaha... damn, it is amazing how many dumb, retarded, uneducated people there are out there.

  • Bill O.... live and let live.

    Just because someone might not agree with you doesn't mean the town is "being held hostage".

    I think Bill O is the one who wants a "war on Christmas".

    If you believe in Christmas, celebrate it, if not... don't. Who gives a fuck?

    Bill O can fuck off.

  • "Who listens to this guy and takes him seriously?"  A lot of people, unfortunately.

  • yea, some are even in my family sadly :(

  • lol "it's really pathetic."

  • I love Christmas. But I dont need O'Reilly to speak for me. Hes such a loudmouthed buffoon

  • Throw your carbon footprints at billo.

  • uuuuuuuuuu

  • If someone says merry christmas to me. I check them out. If they look like a normal person I say merry christmas back. If they look like a right wing nut job I say happy holidays, just to make them crazy and paranoid. try it, it's funny.

  • I vote O'Reilly is a dumbass.

  • That's not fair to dumbasses! :D

  • Well it is clear that this plot to turn off Christmas lights is probably not to "save energy" but just to contain Christmas. This all started with the whole you can't say Merry Christmas and now its turning to you can't put up Christmas lights. I have little respect for O'Rielly trust me on that; but I get his point this time. This is a liberal movement to continue to get rid of Christianity (Christmas); and once again out founding fathers are rolling over in their graves.

  • Christmas was once illegal in the United States of America...and should still be.

  • bill o'reilly...WORST PERSON IN THE WOOORLLDDD!!! (saying it in the voice of keith olberman)

  • i didnt even put up Christmas lights this year. do you know why? because its time consuming, energy consuming, and because im going to have to take them down in less then a week anyway.

    Christmas lights on your house are more trouble then they are worth. if these people care so much, they can light some damn candles on there roof or something.

  • Obviously bonehead talking head Young Turks listens to O'Reilly. Enjoys ripping off his show and promoting him to get attention.

  • I really do wonder who watches O'reily and takes him seriously. I know that he has a lot of viewers but who are these DUMB-ASSES?? OR, maybe people watch becase he is un-intentionally funny?

  • hahhahahah! Priceless.

  • Let's not forget the California power outages. They may have been fake, but it still shows how vulnerable the public is to utility companies.

  • Heaven forbid people be conservative with their energy output and actually reduce the size of their electric bill.

  • dude you are far off

  • well i guess 10000 climatologist are far off too... hmmm. search global warming hoax for a video about the disagreements in the science community about what is the actual cause of increased CO2. Im not against renewable energy like solar wind geothermal etc but Im against taxing businesses for shit that we exhale and plants feed on.

  • sure

  • Actually you're wrong. The general consensus amoung scientists globally is that we've damaged the earth. Even our now conservative gov't in Canada has finally admitted that we are fucking up the globe and this gov't refused to sign the Koyoto accord screaming that all this talk was fake etc etc etc - until they saw the facts. The very best scientists have concluded this to be true and they are the VAST majority...there are a few hired-guns would say anything for a bit of mullah.

  • Fuck fox They R Traitors !!

  • Bill went there when he was a kid, in 1832!! lol.

  • we did vote billo and we're getting (hopefully) honest leadership from Barack Obama. Even in the face of your constant propaganda, a 90% rightwing stranglehold on the AM dial, corporate control of the message in all major media - YOU FAILED BILL! You are not nearly as clever as you think - even with a slanted deck you couldn't win.

  • Its ironic but more people who hate O'reilly watch his show than those who like him. Its like if Adolf Hitler had his own show, you would still have millions of Jews watching his show just because they see it as entertainment.

  • You said it holmes
