O'Reilly goes nuclear in War on Christmas

[quaoar]

Now he's just making shit up out of thin air.

His latest slander is to allege that the town of Saginaw, Michigan, and the school district of Plano, Texas, have tried to restrict citizens and students from wearing red and green clothing during Christmas season. Neither community is happy and both are demanding retractions.

"In Saginaw, Michigan, the township opposes red and green clothing on anyone," O'Reilly said before laughing.

"In Saginaw Township, they basically said anybody we don't want you to wear red or green. I would dress up head to toe in red and green if I were in Saginaw, Michigan."

Township Manager Ron Lee fired off an angry response to O'Reilly demanding "an official retraction on a later broadcast."

"He was saying some not-so-complimentary things, and I was trying to figure out where in the world he got" the information, Lee said.

E-mail sent to parents in the Plano, TX school district

Dear Plano ISD eNews Subscribers:

On Friday, December 9, on the Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor,"
with Bill O'Reilly and guest Jim Pinkerton, Fox 4 News analyst, it was falsely reported in a segment entitled "More Victories for Christmas" that ...

....."In Plano, Texas, a school told students they couldn't wear red and
green because they are Christmas colors."......

Due to the number of e-mails, inquiries and phone calls to Plano ISD
regarding students "wearing red and green," Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Doug Otto is e-mailing this communication to eNews subscribers (and has posted this message on the PISD website) to assure the school community that this rumor is false.

"The school district does not restrict students or staff from wearing certain color clothes during holiday times or any other school days," noted Dr. Otto, who said that the school district's attorney has requested that Mr. O'Reilly retract the statement.

One town at a time...

[joefree1]

2. 12 more days to beat this drum O'lielly

What a doofus.

[Faygo Kid]

3. Hands off Michigan, Bill

In fact, keep your hands to yourself - for a change. Gawd, is he sleazy.

[MissMarple]

4. Has he been drinking, smoking the funny cigarettes?

Or just gone way around the bend? :crazy:

[guidod]

22. Cigaretes aren't funny...

they're breath taking.

[renie408]

5. Ok, seriously...is O'Reilly getting crazier or is it just me?

I mean, like scary crazy?

[catmother]

6. scary crazy. n/t

[Initech]

7. He dropped off the edge a long time ago!

I'd say he's somewhere between "batshit crazy" and "completely fucking looney".

[Skittles]

16. I think the falafel going public did him in

he has lost it

[FreedomAngel82]

25. And people believe him!

[punpirate]

8. O'Really gone nuclear on Christmas?

I was hoping that meant he would implode on Christmas day. :P

[theoldman]

9. A right wing conspiracy

That is my conclusion to the effort to remove Christ from Christmas. The right wingers take Christ out of Christmas and them blame it on the left. Democrats go to church just as well as Republicans. Why would Democrats not want to say Merry Christmas? Think about it.

[quaoar]

10. Welcome to DU

Old man!

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. It's creates another chance to bash the left after twisting the facts.

[Sparkly]

11. Okay, so NOW has he jumped the shark??

It seems to me people like this get a lot of jumps before they're actually fired.

[Dr.Phool]

17. If they haven't fired John Gibson

Over his "5 shots in the noggin" crap, they won't fire anybody.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. I bet Saginaw opposes the yellow stripe down Bilge O'Lielly's back, too.

WTF is wrong with that idiot?

[WearyOne]

14. is that the O'Reilly who wants Al Qaeda to bomb SF firemen ?

[eve_was_framed]

15. he's a species unto himself...that lizard was definitely hatched!

[leesa]

18. This is terrific! Let him keep doing it because more and more people are

beginning to realize he just pulls his facts out of his ass.

[msu2ba]

19. WSGW Radio in Saginaw carries Loofah Boy

The Program Director there is Dave Maurer. His email is [e-mail]

I'm sure he's just sitting around waiting to give his opinion about Bill and the Saginaw Front in the War on Christmas.

[sendero]

20. O'Reilly...

... is seriously insane and eventually his alligator mouth will write a check his hummingbird ass cannot cash.

I hope it is sooner rather than later.

[mcctatas]

21. Thank you so much for posting these links...

my fundie FIL keeps sending me American Family Association crap about the "War on Christmas" and he quotes that friggin John Gibson book more competently than he quotes Scripture (although that's not saying much;)) Anyway, I mailed him both of the stories post haste:evilgrin:

[Dr Fate]

23. He lied about a Daily Show skit as well...

...he claimed they were doing a "rebuttal" to the war on the war on Christmas.

In fact, the clip was a year old- it was no rebuttal at all.

O'Lielly made it up.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. He seriously needs to get something

for making up these lies. All these people do. I'm so tired of this! Instead of enjoying the season and being nice and kind to people they're being selfish assholes! I'm even starting to hate Christmas! I can't even enjoy it anymore!!!! Every where I go there is pure whining and for no reason!
