Jon Stewart takes on the faux War on Christmas. And oh yes, he has Sarah Palin right in his sites. (I'm sorry I mean surveyor's marks.)

    Love Jon Stewart! As always, he has Palin's number. Love the part about the Menorah. Palin, yet again, is babbling on about something that she has not a clue about.

    The War on Christmas only has a few talking points:
    1. They don't like the expression, "Happy Holidays." They command that you must say "Merry Christmas," even if you do not celebrate Christmas, if the listener doesn't celebrate Christmas or if you just want to include Hanukkah, New Years and Kwanza in your greeting. What ever happened to free speech? Isn't that what Track was bravely defending when he was over there defending our freedoms?
    2. People are not being prevented from celebrating Christmas. From the looks of the shoppers and decorations, it is being celebrated in a materialist, commercial way, a way that the Pope already denounced. You can decorate your house, your garden, your church and stores can decorate everything in the place. There are no shortages of lights, reindeer, blow up things to put on your front lawn, Christmas is alive and well.
    3. There are some places that should be free from religion since our tax dollars are paying for them, such as our public schools. The children attending may not all be Christian, and they may not all be celebrating Christmas. There are enough songs to sing about Frosty the Snowman, Chestnuts Roasting, Jingle Bells without bringing in songs about Christ. And, since our kids don't score so well, compared to other countries, how about spending more time learning and less time on decorations and songs.
    4. While Palin and O'Reilly wage this pretend war on the war against Christmas, they never offer the positive things that people can do to protect the "Heart of Christmas," that strange expression that Palin concocted which must mean The Christmas Spirit. This is the time to give generously to those charities that provide food, clothing and gifts to the needy. The post offices are filled with letters to Santa, requests from kids for whom there won't be presents. This is probably the best time of year for the Salvation Army to make money, with their buckets and bell ringers out there. I never hear Sarah or Bill mention that people should imitate the Wise Men who brought gifts to Christ by giving gifts to those in need.
    4. Neither Sarah nor Bill mention going to church. They are so busy fighting a make believe war that they forget that all that they have to do is go to church and they will hear all of the religious songs and greetings that seem to be the most important part of the holiday season for them. Oh, and decorations and presents, too.

      She's only going on his show because the C4P'rs chastised her as a coward when she declined him last time. He could eat her for lunch if he wanted to but I'm sure he gets order from Ailes to treat the retard gently. Bill O, as abhorrent as I find him, is no dummy and he has her number and realizes what a fucking idiot she is.

      I doubt BORe will take her to the woodshed.

      This subject is so ridiculously absurd and made up that surprise, surprise- these two morons are on the same page.

      Only if there is some kind of room for them to differ will they argue. Plus, you can bet that BOR will give her props for coming in the show and he will say he's delighted to have her back any time.

    Here are some examples of greetings of the holiday:
    French noël Christmas, carol, from Old French Nael (Deu), Noel Christmas, from Latin natalis birthday, from natalis natal
    First Known Use: 1811
    Feliz navidad in Spanish, Buon Natale in Italian

    All of these words have to do with the Birth of Christ, Natalis, Natal, Navidad. Here is a website which tells you how to say Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas in other languages.
    http://www.whychristmas.com/customs/languages.shtml

    Sarah and Bill cannot be the word police of the world. The word "Christmas" comes from the Old English, meaning Christ's Mass, the one that is said in commemorating His birth. When Sarah and Bill insist of greeting people with Merry Christmas, they are really telling people to have a Merry time in church.

    Bill and Sarah are not upset that people won't go to church to celebrate Christ's mass. They are upset about all of the other trappings of the holiday season, most of which have pagan origins, not religious origins. The tree, the yule log, was burned in Europe before Christ was born. It was meant as a symbol for the sun to start burning more brightly at that dark time of year. Candles, decorations, candy canes, Santa, greeting cards are all inventions that add to the festivities, but they are not religious. The only thing that should be important is the original mean of the word, going to church to celebrate Christ's mass, honoring his birth. Let's see all of the photos of Bill and Sarah, taken over their many years of attending church for Midnight Mass.

    So far, I have not seen any atheists running tanks down the streets blowing up nativity sets,unplugging tacky holiday lighting displays, or taking pot shots at partridges in bradford pear trees.

    In fact, what does an atheist look like anyway? Since our house is always the one without the lights, the inflatables, and the only greenery are the unadorned spruce trees growing on the lawn, that might be a clue. Or perhaps not and I am just not buying into the holiday. Or the couple that light up their house and do the holiday stuff because they enjoy it and they have kids. They gave up on religion because they could no longer support a church that was covering up sex crimes against children.

    So some of us are out of the closet....and especially this time of year that closet is a good place to hang out and just get away from all the crazy and a good time to pick up some bargains. Computer will work just fine in there...online it is.

      I was raised Atheist but our family really liked shopping and putting up trees and decorating for xmas so we celebrated like everyone else. Pressies are awesome and I always appreciated that my parents would go all out and get us awesome gifts even if we weren't christian. Mother lives to shop so so xmas is right up her alley, Atheism be damned!

    It's like she just says the first shit that pops into her head and isn't even cognizant enough to understand her own hypocrisy. There always was something wrong in that brain of hers but I think the anorexia is making it worse. I went to college with a girl who was in the advanced stages of anorexia and her doctor told her that her brain was shrinking because her body was consuming it. Same with her heart. Even though she went to rehab and was force-fed nutrients her heart never recovered and she was always a little "slow" on the uptake following her anorexia.

      Bashir is a real journalist and a fine communicator. Wouldn't it be great if he now writes a book (expose) about Sarah AND Todd. Karma anyone!

      I can understand the resignation. Bashir should never have become part of the news - according to journalism 101. I am sure he will land on his feet though.

      Having said that, when is Palin going to be held accountable for her involvement leading up to the Gifford's shooting, Obama "shucking and jiving", duping her minions with an illusion of running for POTUS in 2012 and keeping all that PAC money, Dairygate, (not) birthing Trig, questionable "postage", "consulting" and "travel" expenses for her PAC, smearing Joe McGinniss? She claims to go to a non-denominational church in Wasilla and when asked which one - yet she refuses to/can't/won't disclose it.

      She is a liar and fraud to the nth degree but yet escapes everything. I am perplexed as to why karma hasn't intervened yet.

      A funny thing happened when we watched Jon Stewart's show. On a small screen, computer or cell phone, Sarah looks OK. Magnified on the big 3D TV screen, you could see that her wig was lighter than her real hair. Even my husband wondered what was going on with her two-tone hair. The wig was just plopped on top of her head. It looked silly.

    Palin needs to be silenced and kept out of the media. She is not a politican and she is not a Christian! She is nothing more than a worthless piece of shit and a sorry, sorry excuse for womanhood, marriage and motherhood. She is the scum of the earth!!! Need I go on?

      Although MSNBC has more liberal news program hosts than any other mainstream network, MSNBC's owner supports a conservative agenda. I'm disheartened but not surprised that they'd cave when any pressure is on. It's a wonder that the Ed Show has survived.

    'somewhere a little Jewish boy isn't being forced to sing 'O Little Town of Bethlehem'

    Well, not if Mrs Sarah Constitutional-Scholar Palin has her way. I totally missed her point the first time I watched the Tapper interview. She's arguing that it's hunky-dory for the government to pick and enforce the Christian religion and any offense to same is defused by that menorah on her kitchen table. (And Tapper didn't bother to point out that her interpretation of the 1st Amendment is backasswards.)

    And why am I surprised? She's consistently shown herself to get the1st Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of the press backwards. And upside-down turkeys, also, too.

    I think all the politicians, pundits, celebrities and assorted talking heads welcome the chance to burble about the "happy holidays" greeting. It saves them from addressing other issues, like our troops and drones in Afghanistan, killing and being killed for yet another year. Or our crumbling infrastructure, dismal job outlook, education cost/results, poverty,... Oh, so much better to whip out some pithy phrases to inflate their already out-sized egos and jockey for the best sound bite.

    Sarah Palin's Happy Holiday book is close to reaching 700 and falling fast on Amazon's Bestsellers list but yet Sarah Palin yet chooses to go on her Ass Clown book signing tour seeking attention.

    What has Sarah Palin done in her lifetime to to warrant the praise she seeks?

    As mayor, Sarah Palin put her little town into debt, had to hire a town manager to do her job and mysteriously ended up with a two story lakeside custom home.

    As governor, nobody knows what Sarah Palin really did, the state officials wore pins that said something about where is Sarah. When state employees sent correspondence to each other they had to send it to Todd Palin as well to get his approval.

    Sarah Palin claims to be an energy expert but no energy company in the world or the United States of America has or wants to tap her knowledge.

    Sarah Palin claims to be a Christian but it appears she doesn't go to church. Maybe for Easter or Christmas?

    Sarah Palin claims to be a Mamma Grizzly but her cubs seems to be dysfunctional and refuses to seek higher education at a university and chooses to drop out of high school and go to hair school and cosmetology school. Also the Mamma Grizzly cubs doesn't know about using birth control and produces children to be raised in single family homes.

    Sarah Palin constantly claimed she was running for president and took in donations from her followers for her SarahPac and has yet to declare herself as a candidate. Sarah took in millions of dollars into her SarahPac but only gave a mere donation to political candidates.

    If Sarah Palin spent 1/10th of the time she spends on her Facebook and the time she spends reading blogs about herself on her cellphone and spent that time educating her children, they would be qualified to go to college instead of dropping out of high school, getting GEDs, going to hair school and having bastard children.
