'War' on 'Christmas': Jon Stewart Smacks Down Bill O'Reilly

The phony 'War on non-Christians Christmas' crusade by Bill O'Reilly and his FOX brethren (used to distract from real issues and/or suck all the joy out of a season of peace and love) has finally jumped the shark.

O'Reilly's desperation reached new levels as he chose his latest target- Jon Stewart and the 'Secular Central' network. On last Friday's episodes of the radio and TV "Factor"s, O'Reilly introduced a 'Daily Show' segment from "last night", featuring correspondent Samantha Bee making jokes about Christmas. O'Reilly, telling Stewart "we're up for the fight", states with no concept of hyperbole- "[E]ternal vigilance is the price of liberty. And over the next three weeks, we will be vigilant on this subject."

As if this wasn't ludicrous enough on its own, the Daily Show segment he played?.... From last December. O'Reilly no doubt knew this, because a) that was last year's calendar behind Ms. Bee in the segment, and b) Bee is very pregnant now and was not in the clip. Finally, apparently unaware that other cultures and holidays exist Mr. Stewart is Jewish and does not celebrate the holiday, O'Reilly wished him a Merry Christmas.

Media Matters has the story and clips-
Continuing his fight against the "war on Christmas," O'Reilly falsely claimed year-old Daily Show clip aired previous night

Last night, the Daily Show responded and, in doing so, smacked down Bill'O like the sad, pathetic man he is. Jon Stewart begins by quickly summarizing the 'controversy' and playing the clip from the "Factor". Jon then thanks O'Reilly for his warm greetings. Jon next brought out the very-pregnant Samantha Bee to sarcastically figure out when that clip was filmed. Stewart then acknowledges the horrors that the "liberal, secular fags" at Comedy Central have unleashed upon Christmas. He then schools Bill'O with a history of where the phrase 'happy holidays' originates from. Stewart then finishes the segment by saying-
"If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready?... I'm your enemy, make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality. And I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's HomoBortion Pot and Commie Jizzporium."

Stephen Colbert, again mocking Bill'O to perfection, also tackled the issue the other night.

Fake war on Christmas.... OVER.

Better luck next year, Bill'O.
