O'Reilly's Great American Holiday Quiz

Despite his annual tirades against the so-called War on Christmas and people who say “Happy Holidays,” Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has a “Great American Holiday Quiz” up on the Parade Magazine website:

1. O'Reilly being a hypocrite?

A draft dodger who never served America, but who promotes war?

A war-against-Christmas delusional freak who is making money promoting 'holidays'?

Why am I unsurprised.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. That's odd.

Despite his anti-semitic "War on Christmas" the people who wrote his quiz included a number of questions on Hanukkah.

7. Would you mind posting the questions? I don't want to click on those fucking pages. Thank you. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Standard pointless X-mas trivia.

Who came up with the character Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer?

What's the biggest selling Chrismas music single in history?

Which state first made X-mas an official holiday?

Hanukkah means what in Hebrew?

And so on.

[ColbertWatcher]

9. Okay, thank you anyway! n/t

3. Well that was fun.

And of course pretty biased but commercial. I only got 28 right.

And although Kwanza and Hanukkah, Christmas gets all the attention.

No mention of the pagan origins of the holidays- but no mention of the pagan origins of Judaism or Christianity either.

I say

Bring back Zeus!!! And if we can't find him, Odin.

4. Hey Billo!

Although the holiday is a minor one in the Jewish religious calendar, it is one of the most widely-celebrated Jewish holidays among American Jews.

Guess what? Nowhere in the scriptures does it mention anything regarding a celebration or anything to do with the day of Jesus' birth.

Christians stole the holiday from pagans.

5. At first I failed, but then I rammed a vibrator up my ass and aced it!

Who knew?

6. 31 correct. A chance to win poorly thought out scribblings from O'Reily? No thanks. n/t

[pokerfan]

10. It's unlikely that Billo created the quiz

Remember this is the guy who calls upon his minions to boycott stores whose employees say "happy holidays."

I think he hates Kwanzaa even more than he hates solstice celebrations.

[FSogol]

11. Correct, Its a Parade magazine quiz. Taking the quiz gets you a chance to win O'Liely's book. n/t

[pokerfan]

12. But that makes no sense

What possible use would someone so intimately familiar with multiple cultures and beliefs want with Billo's book? That would be like giving a Nobel prize winner a copy of Ben Stein's Expelled.

I'm surprise that Papa Bear allowed his name to be associated with such heresy.

[FSogol]

13. Isn't a common prize at Spelling Bs a dictionary?

I don't get it either. Good quiz of Holiday trivia, tho.
