Fox News to surge forces in war on Christmas.
“FNC will present a three hour primetime O’Reilly Factor Christmas Marathon beginning on Monday December 25th at 8PM EST,” a Fox News release states. Also, Sean Hannity will host a one-hour special, “A Nashville New Year with Sean Hannity,” from the Palace Theater in Nashville, Tennessee.

Could even his fans stand to watch Billo for 3 hours?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:34 pmif you are watching bill oreilly on christmas day you need to do the world a favor and take yourself out of the equation.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:34 pmWhy do Christo-fascists LOVE wars so much?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:36 pmFOX viewers must have been naughty this year.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:37 pmJust what Fock Snooze viewers will want to do on Xmas day. Instead of sharing love and friendship with family and friends, they’ll tune into the hatefest that is FockSnooze.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:42 pmWhat a bunch of morons
December 20th, 2006 at 12:42 pmwhat a way to celebrate the birth of jesus …
December 20th, 2006 at 12:44 pmThis is off of this thread – House Armed Services Chairman ‘Extremely Concerned’ With Iraq Escalation Plans -Dec. 18 ,2006
Available in older posts section for free and at absolutely no charge. You have to read the whole thread to appreciate it.It`s a real gem.
Not so fast;I have one thing I’d like to add to this discussion.
Atleast twice in the last 50 posts,unbelievable said that she ‘doesn’t lie’.
Yet she told me,thus everyone else on this blog,last spring,that her Mother was dead.This turned out NOT to be TRUE.
Now answer your own question: What kind of person would say that about their own Mother just for the sake of winning an argument?
Now you all are beginning to see why I’ve had such acrimony with her in the past.
Just for the record,BnF, I never,ever,insulted her Mother,that’s if you were referring to something I might have said.
She told me her Mom was dead after I said she probably lives at home with her Mom.
All this can be found in the archives.
This is who you are dealing with,and she has no respect.
Comment by Si Byl — December 20, 2006 @ 2:22 am
Trueblue,
Of course, Unbelievable is offended by any remark about sexuality:
Men’s peak is 17, and women’s is 40. I’m guessing I’m closer to 40 than you are to 17? :)
Comment by unbelievable — April 17, 2006 @ 4:03 pm
and:
I think it’s a plot by women in their 40’s so they can get 17 year old men :)
Comment by Tundra — April 17, 2006 @ 4:19 pm
I assure you, that’s mostly a guy fanatasy. As men age they get better in other ways. :)
Comment by unbelievable — April 17, 2006 @ 4:29 pm
and this:
If a course is called “Shaving your legs†there is no reason to discuss how to braid leghair (That’s for unbelievable)
Comment by Tundra — April 17, 2006 @ 8:34 pm
Flirting with me again, I see ; )
Comment by unbelievable — April 17, 2006 @ 8:49 pm
finally capped of by this:
If I were asked for a one line answer to the question “What makes a woman good in bed?†I would say, “A man who is good in bed.â€
- – Bob Guccione (1978)
Comment by unbelievable — April 18, 2006 @ 4:51 pm
and the email Unbelievable misquotes?
“If I were asked for a one line answer to the question “What makes a woman good in bed?†I would say, “A man who is good in bed.â€
- – Bob Guccione (1978)
Comment by unbelievable â€
amen to that!!! (care to put the hypothesis to a test? —just kidding…)
Perhaps it is Unbelievable who is envious of my spirituality. She has derided the thought of breathing a cloud away, yet I’ve taught others to do so as well.
Perhaps she was offended because I was just kidding. After all, I have mentioned on these boards that I wear a kilt. And you know what they say about a woman scorned. I mean, to take what I wrote and somehow twist that into insinuating that I, a married man, was interested in having an adulterous affair with someone who lives a couple of thousand miles away takes either dimentia, a great imagination, or wishful thinking.
And Trueblue, as you can see, a shaman would say “Amen.â€
There’s another word, a greeting, I say to you:
Namaste.

December 20th, 2006 at 12:46 pmOh goody! Nothing quite says Merry Christmas like a lying, loofah-wielding letch.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:47 pmWhat TP is not telling you is that every station is running some sort or repeat or special so most of the employees of the network can go home with there families. USA will be running a Monk or SVU marathon or some other show all day and night. TBS always plays “A Christmas Story†(and I love it) over and over and over. . If you have a problem with what Fox News has planned, then don’t watch it. Can progressives figure out a remote?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:49 pmYes. Now my culture warrioring ass can tell my family to get lost after Christmas dinner, so I can watch me some O’Reilly.
Thank you, Jesus!
December 20th, 2006 at 12:50 pmBill O’s guests include The Grinch, Ebenezer Scrooge, The Heat Miser, The Bumble and The River Bottom Nightmare Band.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:50 pmWill Bill be taking calls and having phone sex live on Fux’d Up News?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:52 pmBlow a Reindeer, perhaps?
Blow Hannity, better yet!
Ah, ’tis the season, & we’re in the majority!
I can just picture these pissed off 11%ers huttled around a portable TV in their bunkers watching Bill O’Riley on Christmas Day so concerned about the war on the Holiday they never knew the actual history of to begin with.
Classic
December 20th, 2006 at 12:55 pmIf you can’t stand to watch Bill Oreilly during this marathon, then check out Jill O’Really at FoxxyNews.com. You can see her updates on her war on Christmas! Very Funny!
December 20th, 2006 at 12:55 pmChristmas day is a time for families to get together and not be distracted by some lame tv show, like every other day. Why does Bill O’Lielly hate Christmas?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:56 pmoff topic, but I think that Stephen Colbert should have won TIME magazine ‘man of the year’ for 2006.
December 20th, 2006 at 12:56 pm#10 Kevin
If you have a problem with what Fox News has planned, then don’t watch it. Can progressives figure out a remote?
Gee, Kevin, it’s awfully complicated. Can repressives handle criticism of their lousy excuse for a cable news channel and their pathological liar of a talkshow host?
December 20th, 2006 at 12:57 pm#18, Chimpeach, good response.
Kevin, when conservatives complain about some TV show or special, how come they can’t seem to handle a remote?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:06 pmI’m not really afraid of the Fox News O’Lielly Marathon. I just think it’s funny as hell.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:06 pmCouldn’t FAUX News be fined for pollution of the airwaYS?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:08 pmNow that we’ve taken back a majority in Congress, it’s much more entertaining than ever to watch Falafel boy and his magic flea circus.
Too much funny.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:13 pmThe Grinch and Scrooge get a bad rap. They ended up ok. They changed from Progressives that believe the government should take care of everyone and destroy anything that makes people happy and became conservatives. Giving to charity. Helping out people and whos’ and whatnots. Not sure what the Heat Miser is. (But I’m sure I will find out in seconds after this post) and Emit Otter was the saddest Christmas story ever. My friends and I have a party and drink every time you see a string.

Comment by Kevin
Kevin,
December 20th, 2006 at 1:27 pmWhat the heck are you talking about. Please don’t speak to me. I am afraid of catching your insanity. Thanks for your cooperation.
The Grinch was good at the end of the story. So was Scrooge. And why do progressives hate free speech?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:33 pmwhy does Kevin use illogical logic?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:40 pmChristianity should be the preferred faith for a secular nation, why try to destroy it? Do you prefer Islam, or some other faith to dominate, or none at all?
It was within a Christian framework that capitalism succeeded to outperform all other forms of governments / cultures, so why destroy that formula?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:43 pmChristianity shouldn’t be destroyed but faith is a individual choice. The government needs to keep out of religion all together. Nether preventing or encouraging any religion.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:49 pmWho gives a flying fu*k?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:50 pmI’m curious…what do conservatives think the founders meant by the phrase “provide for the common good”?
Do conservatives think that it’s better to be poor and out of work and know that NO ONE is going to help you, or to be poor and out of work and know that there is a safety net and that the country of which you are a citizen will not let you starve or be kicked out on the street? What part of the human genome are conservatives missing that they have no compassion or empathy towards those less fortunate? And conservative Christians, what happened to twist Jesus’s teachings into ’screw the poor’?
December 20th, 2006 at 1:51 pmDo you even know what the fu*k secular means? God you are the stupidest troll we have ever had.
secular:
not pertaining to or connected with religion
You are a fu*king idiot.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:52 pmTP ran the “story” so I would say TP.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:53 pmWhat TP posted and your comment have nothing to do with each other you whacko fruitcake batshEt fu*ktard.
December 20th, 2006 at 1:55 pmChristianity should be the preferred faith for a secular nation,

Jason is always good for a laugh. What a maroon. What a poop-tard. I just wish I really cared about it enough to save his idiocy. It would make a great day calender.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:00 pmIt was within a Christian framework that capitalism succeeded to outperform all other forms of governments / cultures, so why destroy that formula?
Comment by Jason M. Hendler — December 20, 2006 @ 1:43 pm
Capitalism is a form of government? And capitalism has something to do with Christianity? What ‘formula’? WTF? You’re even more disturbed than I thought.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:03 pmJason, please go look up secular. Here, I did it for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular
December 20th, 2006 at 2:05 pmPolice, fire departments, good roads, and the court system. The services that can not be provided by private industry.
As a conservative, I give to private charities all the time. Not for any tax rite off, but because it’s the right thing to do. I personaly have helped people that were down on there luck. I took in my cousin and his little girl after he was injured in an auto accident. I gave my old van away to a charity that helps people on welfare get a job and get off welfare. It’s not that we don’t want to help the poor. We don’t think the government can or should.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:06 pmwhat better way to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus than to sit around watching Bill O’Reilly pop his blood vessels?
put a log on the fire, serve up some nog and get your festive christmas panties in a bunch!
I think I smell a new Holiday Tradition!
December 20th, 2006 at 2:07 pmIt’s not news, but I guess it sells. And if you’re gonna be on the air 24/7, you gotta fill up the hours with programming somehow…
December 20th, 2006 at 2:08 pmAn (early) example regarding christianity and capitalism is the money changers in the temple whom Jesus of Nazareth went ballistic on……………..
December 20th, 2006 at 2:08 pmChristianity should be the preferred faith for a secular nation, why try to destroy it?
Comment by Jason M. Hendler — December 20, 2006 @ 1:43 pm
So sayeth the man who can “suspend his Christianity” whenever he sees fit!
No wonder our dear friend, JMH, is not of the 95% Americans who’ve had premarital sex
December 20th, 2006 at 2:09 pmdlet,
You are right.
This:
Should be on a comedy quote calendar or website somewhere.
This is the most assinine thing I have seen typed on this board in ages. I am going to start a collection of Jason’s greatest dumb ass quotes and start hanging them on my cubicle walls for all to stare at in amazement.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:13 pmand since I’m not done whacking our virgin troll:
Christianity should be the preferred faith for a nation free of religion, why try to destroy it?
Comment by Jason M. Hendler — December 20, 2006 @ 1:43 pm
Contradict much, Ivy league Stanford educate?
December 20th, 2006 at 2:16 pmSpudge_boy has some anger issues he needs to work out.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:17 pmIf you remember, Kevin, neither did Scrooge. Scrooge believed (at first), that if you were poor it was your own damn fault, and he shouldn’t do anything about it to help them.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:18 pmAfter the night of ghosts, he decided that he will do everything he can to help everyone have a merry Christmas.
It really is a heartwarming story.
And I do commend you for your charity.
Kevin:
Police, fire departments, good roads, and the court system. The services that can not be provided by private industry.
All of these services could be provided by private industry.
It’s not that we don’t want to help the poor. We don’t think the government can or should.
Why not? I’m glad you are personally charitable, but if the government can have policies to help businesses (tax abatements, loans to avoid bankruptcy, infastructure) what’s so bad about government using its buying power and authority to help the poor?
December 20th, 2006 at 2:20 pmHow many of you have seen the new FNC ad “Happy Holidays”? It was actually aired yesterday before billos show. Why is Billo not waging a war on Fox news channel.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:20 pmKevin, you’re willing to try to help people get off welfare, do you even try to imagine what those people’s lives would be like if there were no welfare? I admit that the current system is not the best in the world, but that’s another topic.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:32 pmIf you remember, Kevin, neither did Scrooge. Scrooge believed (at first), that if you were poor it was your own damn fault, and he shouldn’t do anything about it to help them.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:36 pmIf you remember, Scrooge was visited by men from a local charity that wanted to help the poor. (Conservatives I’m sure) Scrooge (still a liberal) asked “are there no prisons or work houses.†Of course after the night of ghost he gave a lot and people were happy.
It’s just a matter of fairness. I grew up poor. I worked hard to get to a point I could give to charities. I never asked for it. I worked a minimum wedge job and worked my way up and out. The issue with the government helping the poor via welfare is that it’s very hard to get off it. People think it’s owed to them and they don’t need to work. That’s wrong.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:53 pmKevin, you’re willing to try to help people get off welfare, do you even try to imagine what those people’s lives would be like if there were no welfare?
Comment by JaneESchneider — December 20, 2006 @ 2:32 pm
Yes, and it’s wonderful. No government dependency. Everyone self reliant. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
December 20th, 2006 at 2:56 pmFOX has a “Stay the course” mentality with their programming. Much like Bush’s policies, their course isn’t woking either. FOX has lost 28% of its viewers this year and Bildo has lost significant ground to competitors.
Anyone with a brain in their heads or a true understanding and love for America doesn’t take their nonsense seriously.
BTW- Is it even a news channel? They have so very little news programming. Its all opinon and infotainment. Seriously; the Daily Show has more news content than FOX
December 20th, 2006 at 3:00 pmMy anger is just fine a$$hole. I am not going to pretend to like you people and I am not politically correct, as you fu*king people think liberals are. If you were within punching distance, I would introduce you to my fists. Love and Hate.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:02 pmAhhh, I see we have landed on Kevin’s favorite topic; how he got his and fu*k everybody else.
BTW dickhead, Scrooge at the beginning of the story is a conservative through and through. He got his, so fu*k everybody else. He acts just like you do. He was turned around after getting the shEt scared out of him. There is hope for you. Scrooge.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:05 pmFu*k you.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:16 pmKevin, I too wish that everyone would be considerate enough and charitable enough so that we wouldn’t need the government services.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:28 pmThe truth is, though, is that not many people would consider giving enough to charity to help alleviate the problem.
I again commend your charitable nature. I will immediately start on the same path as soon as I can get enough of an income to balance it (I’m a college student and I haven’t gotten a job yet).
And you’re still wrong about Scrooge being a liberal:
“If they’d rather die, then they better do it! And decrease the surplus population”
Or something of the like. I don’t have a copy of it sitting with me at the moment. Forgive me.
Nice. You would get one shot. And only one.
I earned mine.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:28 pmThank you for the recognition. Decreasing the surplus population sounds like an argument for abortion.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:37 pmYou may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
Comment by Kevin — December 20, 2006 @ 2:56 pm
Don’t you dare quote John Lennon at me. He’s probably rolling in his grave.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:46 pmOkay Kevin, forget it.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:46 pmThere’s no reasoning with you on the subject.
Go ahead and believe that Scrooge and the Grinch were liberals (the Grinch, by the way, was non-partisan).
But Dickens was one of the biggest liberals of his time.
Nice. You would get one shot. And only one.
Comment by Kevin
Spudge would only need one to drop a daisy like you.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:52 pmHey, Love is all you need.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:12 pmHe is welcome to try. And so are you.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pmI can be reasoned with. You need to do a better job at it.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:23 pmAnd Scrooge was converted at the end. So, good for him. The Grinch was non-partisan. I will give you that. (see, I can be reasoned with.)
One is all I would need you whiny little chicken shEt piece of crap. You live anywhere in Southern California?
I know, so fu*k everybody else right? Bitch.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:32 pmHow about Dec. 25th at 8 pm? Or are you too busy watching Bill O’s Christmas Blowout?
December 20th, 2006 at 4:45 pmNope. VA. Come see me.
Never said that. Just said they can get along and even do better without government hand outs. But if you think the lower class is too stupid to make it without the government then that’s your right to think that. I believe in the American people.
December 20th, 2006 at 4:46 pmNope. VA. Come see me.
Comment by Kevin
Would you happen to be in Rep. Virgil Goode’s (R-VA) district?
December 20th, 2006 at 4:53 pmDrake
December 20th, 2006 at 5:04 pmI have never said that I support government handouts or welfare for everybody. I have never even uttered the words government handouts or welfare on this message board. Go ahead and do a search there buddy.
On the other hand you have stated that you have made your money and everybody else should get their’s. You once again are making up words to put in my mouth, because you are unable to argue with facts, because they are against you.
The fact that you live in Virginia explains your backwards anti-American behavior. You need to go to get out and see the real world.
December 20th, 2006 at 5:21 pmYou are the one that put words in someone’s mouth. I never said I got mine and f@#k everyone else. Do a search there buddy. You ever post a fact. You just spew hate. That’s the liberal way, I guess. I love America. And America would not be what it is today without Virginia. Look that up too buddy. You should check out the real world. Not L.A. L.A is a fake world with no real substance.
December 20th, 2006 at 5:31 pmI’m curious…what do conservatives think the founders meant by the phrase “provide for the common good�
Jane schneider,
They meant things like national defense for the common good.Not some sort of HUGE commune system such as you suggest.
That is called communism.
December 20th, 2006 at 5:36 pmYes you did. You are a self centered egotistical bastard.
Wrong, that is my way and I am not a liberal dumb fu*k.
I don’t live in LA you stupid shEt. And I know for a fact that I have seen more of this country and this world than you probably ever will. It is one of the reasons why I care about other people, unlike your sorry ass.
December 20th, 2006 at 6:20 pmlets see it, Tard_boy
Well what kind of dumb Fu*k are you?
And what charities do you give too?
December 20th, 2006 at 6:36 pmSo, Kevin, don’t you think the government should help seriously mentally ill or cognitively challenged people who are unable to do your “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” routine? Are you so callously arrogant that you think everyone else should be able to do what you did?
December 20th, 2006 at 6:58 pmSo PLC do you think that no charities exist to help them out, and that only the government can? Maybe if people could take home there whole pay they could take care of any unable relatives. Or give more to charities to help out.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:03 pmIt is all over every fu*king thread you post to dumb ass. It oooses from your self absorbed attitude. Everybody can see it. If you can’t, that is your problem to deal with. I will just keep pointing it out.
Sorry bitch, you can’t put me into one of your little categories.
I don’t give money to other people to do the work. I am the charity. You just want to throw money at a problem. I help build people houses and other things that really help.
Give to charity, does that make you feel better about your self absorbed attitude. Can you sleep better at night because you gave somebody some money. Money is a minute part of the problem jerk.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:03 pmSo Tard_boy can’t come up with a direct quote of me saying “fu*k everyone else.” (maybe because I never said it. Or anything close to it.) He can’t even figure out what kind of dumb fu*k he is. Or if he read what I have posted in this tread that I do a lot more than give money.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:17 pmIt is nice to know that your FairTax.org is a PROGRESSIVE idea.
Unlike your party of regressive ideas.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:23 pmSee, I knew you would like it.
December 20th, 2006 at 7:45 pmGreat, now you tell me if you think I am a liberal or conservative.
Here are a couple of more things to help.
I support the second amendment. I have been firing weapons since I was four. Conservative.
I support a womans right to choose. Liberal.
I support a large military. Conservative.
I only support that military being used for defense. Liberal.
December 20th, 2006 at 9:07 pmKevin, you’re willing to try to help people get off welfare, do you even try to imagine what those people’s lives would be like if there were no welfare? I admit that the current system is not the best in the world, but that’s another topic.
Personally, I would love to help corporations get off the government teat. It costs many times what any personal welfare program has. But Kevin wouldn’t understand that. He is a corporatist, through and through.
December 20th, 2006 at 9:43 pm
