Rice joins the War on Christmas.

Rice joins the War on Christmas.»

At the end of her press conference this morning, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice teamed up with “secular progressives” in the War on Christmas, cheerily wishing reporters a “Happy Holidays everybody!” Watch it:

With only four days left to win the war this year, the right wing should be in panic mode. Yesterday, President Bush wished reporters “Happy Holidays” as well.

UPDATE: No mention of Christmas in Bush’s holiday message to the troops either.

On behalf of a grateful Nation, Laura and I send our best wishes for the holidays.

In this season of giving, we remember our duty to others, and we see that sense of duty fulfilled in the men and women who wear our Nation’s uniform. Our country owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage and resolve to serve the cause of peace. Americans are proud of your dedicated service, and I am proud to be the Commander in Chief of the greatest force for freedom in the history of the world.

Our Nation is thankful for the many sacrifices you and your families make every day. During the holidays and throughout the coming year, we ask the Almighty to bestow His protection and care on you and your loved ones. We pray for your safety and for liberty, justice, and peace on Earth.

Laura and I wish you a joyful holiday season. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless America.

GEORGE W. BUSH

    This ought to make Bildo’s head explode.

    Unless he conveniently ignores it…


  2. Menehune Says:

    Seems like Bill O. declared “mission accomplished” in the War on Christmas too soon. There are insurgents at the highest levels of the American government.


  3. bilbobaggins Says:

    Isn’t it amazing that Billo ignores these inconvenient truths. It shows just what kind of a hypocrite he really is.


  4. Charles James Napier Says:

    And a Happy Holidays to you all of you.

    I hope you’re all having a great Saturnalia.

  5. missmolly Says:

    OK, OK — I think we all get the point that the Bush team isn’t going to play Bill O’Reilly’s little game. More power to them for not stooping that low.

    However, I don’t think it would be all that improper for the President to issue an actual Christmas message with the sentiment “Merry Christmas.” After all, he issues similar greetings for Jewish and other holidays, specifically FOR those holidays. Surely Christmas is celebrated by enough Americans that the holiday could get a little recognition?

    I’m not going all “bill-o” here — just pointing out that equal time wouldn’t be a bad thing.


  6. bubble_bobble Says:

    Can somebody explain this concept of a “war on Christmas” to the people (like me who don’t understand it?

    I thought that showing everyone how faithful you are by saying things like Merry Christmas and “Jesus is Great” was a popular thing for politicians to do.

    Who is waging this war and why?

  10. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    It should be said that I do appreciate the administration’s gesture of inclusion.

    The fact that the Bush Administration can be so reasonable as to accept the fact that the US is made up of many different faiths and creeds, not just Christians, demonstrates how silly the hysterical rantings of O’Really, Gibson and the “War on Christmas” crowd really are.

    Comment by bubble_bobble — December 21, 2007 @ 12:16 pm

    Juan C. and Buckie made good responses to your question, missmolly. But it’s pretty clear to em that the “War on Christmas” is being waged by Faux News bobbleheads for two reasons:

    one, it is exactly the kind of papier maché crusade that will stoke outrage in the lower-functioning members of society, who happen to form the core demographic group to which these shows appeal, and

    two, the conditions of reason one add up to money for the sponsors of the crusade.

    The guy has never even landed a lead role in any acting project and you want to make him President. Lots of homely men get lead roles in film and television. You want a guy who couldn’t cut it in the Senate and isn’t successful in his chosen craft to be President. What you’re afraid he’ll make Bush look bad if he’s good at his job?

    The point is he is too imcompetent to do a better job at anything than anybody. But if you can get your friends to vote for him in the primaries we would love to have him as the Republican candidates.

  50. BrianFL Says:

    In my opinion, the “War on Christmas” is just another way for the right-wing to play the victim. They want to pretend like Christians are somehow a persecuted minority in the USA. So they’ll ignore the fact that every store and every town in our country are filled with Christmas decorations.

    Right-wingers are always using this victim card. They do the same thing with prayer in public schools. They ignore the fact that there are Christian private schools all over the country, and Christian churches everywhere, and instead play the victim card to pretend like their kids are not allowed to be Christian.

    It’s the same tactic media figures like those on Fox News want to portray the mainstream media as being liberal. They want to portray the right-wing as victims of the “liberal media”.

    They do the same on environmental issues. They play the victim card, and claim there’s a liberal bias in the scientific community against the deniers of global warming.

    They do the same with US colleges/universities. They play the victim card and claim those evil liberals are teaching kids propaganda on every college campus in the country.

    They even play the victim card on immigration issues. They’ll argue how those evil illegal immigrants are stealing all our jobs, despite the fact that we have very little unemployment in our country.

    Shows like Bill O’Reilly’s are basically one big victim card if you really analyze them.

    Is it just me, or are these “wars” manufactured purely to provoke outrage getting sillier and sillier?

    We had the war against gays — particularly gays who wanted to marry. We were told that this would destroy the institution of marriage.

    We had the war against flag-burning, despite the fact that there was no widespread flag-burning anywhere. Who knew our flag was so weak that it needs legislation to protect it?

    Now we have the war against Christmas. I have absolutely no idea what’s supposed to happen to us if we lose this one.

    So what’s the next manufactured war gonna be? Words of foreign origin creeping their way into English? Or something even more stupid?

    I think, if I understand it correctly, if we lose the War on Christmas, the US will become a heaping morass of secular humanism and all the Christians will be forced by the Supreme Court to worship in their basements lest they be persecuted for their faith.

    Thompson is an Adulterer - this isn’t open for debate tom. Whether you should be committed to a mental hospital, is also not open for debate ;) It’s a YES ;)

    I think Fox has blocked my email address, but hope many of you are keeping Falafel man abreast of this threat level *red* with the White House cabal’s treachery against Christmas. That con man must be made to marinate in his own cess. Hypocrit prick that he is.

    Come on Falafel man, where’s your personal attack on the White House. We are waiting…………………………………….

    Someone forgot to tell the commander in Chief they are losing the war. The one on Christmas too. He’s spouting the enemies lines.

    I noticed Bush’s words of Happy Holidays during his press conference yesterday; I am glad to see TP notes it here today.
    Do you think O’Reilly and his ilk will accuse der Fuhrer, Bush, of being anti-christian in his salutations?
    The rampant hypocrisy is matched only by the pettiness of the repugnicans.


  102. ForTruth Says:

    Yup, Tom is baked.


  103. upright left Says:

    Since when is christmas a christian holiday. Yes it is celebrated by christians. But isn’t christmas really about consumerism.
