    Badabing. Factcheck will be here all week–try the veal.

  2. factcheck says:

    I know what will end the “War on the war on Christmas”- tell the wingers that they will have to fight in it.

  3. southpaw says:

    Rev Falwell was wanting donations to fight this war. Maybe he and O Reily will get into a power struggle as to who will be the head General. Just another dirty trick by the neo cons to try and make it look like good versus evil. I would be willing to bet 99.99 per cent of all Democrats are in support of Merry Christmas.

  4. Frank_D says:

    And the “War on the ‘War on Christmas’” continues.

  5. John S. says:

    And the  War on the  War on Christmas  continues.

    Yes, the fake outrage over the fake outrage continues in earnest.

  6. Frank_D says:

    John S., I’m telling you’re going to hurt youreself if you don’t get help.

    Let’s look at that last sentence:

    “The fake outrage over the fake outrage” means that if the outrage over the “War on Christmas” is fake, then so is the outrage over the outrage, because you just said, it “continues in earnest.”

    Like these benighted fools who constantly attack the “War on Christmas” idea, until they actually look silly, you are getting more and more crazed in your attempt to confront me, for little or no reason.

    It’s becoming an obsession with you, isn’t it, John?

    Creeping into your thoughts, you can’t make them go away, no matter how hard you try.

    They’re called invasive thoughts

    Very unhealthy, John.

  7. John S. says:

    Frank-

    I know every village has an idiot, and nobody here seems willing to take your crown away from you.

    If you cannot gather that the the majority of ‘outrage’ regarding the War on Christmas is mocking in tone, then you certainly have no peers when it comes to your stature in this village.

    As for obsession, you’re the one CONSTANTLY whining about why I pick on you. Worrying about why someone would seek to crush your every vacuous thought that you therow up here is indeed very unhealthy.

    Perhaps you should stop posting rubbish so you can stop stressing out over why I tear you to shreds for posting it in the first place.

  8. Wilbur says:

    Where’s Hanukkah Harry when you need him?

    Or the Hebrew Hammer?

    I think I’m finally catching on to Frank: his RNC mission is to come on here and gum up every thread with his tiresome waaah-fests.

  9. Frank_D says:

    I am not whining about why yopu pick on me. John S. What you don’t know, or fail to acknowledge, is that you are “tearing me apart” for “posting rubbish”, but you are not responding to my posts. Saying bad things about me is not responding. Saying my posts are rubbish is not responding.

    If I say “The capital of New Jersey is Albany”, and you say “Frank, you’re a schmuck,” you’re not responding. If you say, “That response is a ‘ball of shit’”, you’re not responding.

    Do you understand me now, you psycho prick?

  10. Frank_D says:

    Oh. please, Wilbur, stay out of this. frameone and jadegold are finally acting almost acting civilized again, and suddenly Quaker thinks he’s a poor man’s Bill Maher, and now you’re trying to make a comeback.

    Go away. Far away.

    You’re just another miseducated liberal. John S. is a card-carrying asshole. Stay out of his corner. He’s a loser.

    He’ll be gone soon.

  11. Sundown says:

    Frank, you know that you don’t own this blog, right?

  12. BD says:

    John – More power to you, but I’ve found my life became incredibly more refreshing once I stopped responding to Frank altogether. Like leaving the air in Los Angeles for the air in Portland.

    On topic, I wonder what Jesus would say about all this? I doubt he’d be so up in arms about the loss of the word if the sentiment of brotherhood and good cheer were still there, because

    (a) He wasn’t so insecure about his place in the world that he would need to have it acknowledged as his birthday (and his alone), and
    (b) It’s not actually his birthday, anyway.

  13. John S. says:

    On topic, I wonder what Jesus would say about all this?

    Spot on, BD.

    This is what amuses me about this whole thing. these so-called Christians are making in an issue over a PAGAN holiday that has NOTHING to do with Jesus whatsoever.

    Perhaps the modern spirit of Christmas is meant to convey good will and brotherhood, but attacking people who don’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ and pretending it has some Christian basis erases that notion altogether.

  14. John S. says:

    Whine away, Frank.

    At this point despite all your flailings, your responses to me amount to little more than, “Stop picking on me! You’re an asshole!”

    Not very compelling stuff.

    In regards to this thread, you are trying to claim that this War on Christams thing is real. It is not. It is manufactured. And likewise, the ‘outrage’ expressed here and in a lot of other forums is mocking and derisive. The entire thing is a charade.

    You know what a charade is. It’s like when I do respond to your mindless posts and you respond with “John S., I m telling you re going to hurt youreself if you don t get help.” And then try to parse my sentences for some hidden meaning or grand flaw.

    But keep playing the victim. It is amusing.

  15. frameone says:

    “frameone and jadegold are finally acting almost acting civilized again”

    Frank, you’re an idiot.

  16. Frank_D says:

    OK, I surrender. I’m tired of explaining myself, when nothing is accomplished.

    For the record, Sundown — and where the hell did you come from? — I wasn’t even suggesting that Wilbur leave the blog, as so many left wing idiots on this blog have suggested I do.
    I was merely suggesting that he stay out of the “dialogue”, as you, BD and frameone have not done.

  17. Frank_D says:

    One more shot, eh, Wilbur?

  18. Wilbur says:

    This is a truly trivial issue, one that even O’Reilly will tire of before too long, but it is part of the larger War on the Constitutional Protection of Minority Rights. Nativists, wacko-nationalists, racists and religious reactionaries have ridden the crest of post 9-11 hysteria and fear-mongering and steadily inculcated the notion that being different is not okay in America. Today it’s “what’s so awful about a creche on the courthouse lawn.” Tomorrow it will be “what’s so bad about ’separate but equal’” Mark my words.

    PS: may I suggest that we all “become more civilized” by obeying the signs that say “Don’t feed the trolls!”

  19. Frank_D says:

    And a Happy ChristmaHannuKwanzaakah to you, too!

  20. Wilbur says:

    All I have to say to you, Frank, is Merry Christmas!

  21. buma says:

    It’s not really a war you know. More like a pissing contest.
    BTW, Jesus’ General has some nifty gift ideas from GOP Mart, including a Bill O’Reilly Distance Dating Kit. If that won’t warm up the holiday spirit, nothing will.

    The man is crying out for help, I tell you. At least he is edging past the denial stage.

  23. John S. says:

    The man is crying out for help, I tell you. At least he is edging past the denial stage.

    I think that is what his picture means. It is his hand, reaching out for help.

  24. Frank_D says:

    Now I’ll never tell you what it really means — and I thought it was obvious.

  25. John S. says:

    Oh no! How will I ever live on without knowing what Frank’s little picture means?

    Really, I could give a rat’s ass.

  26. Frank_D says:

    Trouble recognizing sarcasm = another symptom of terminal liberalism.

    Besides, you probably have a rat’s ass, so you could give it, if you weren’t so stingy.
