Bill,
Your segment which implied that consumers should not buy from stores that don’t wish them a “Merry Christmas” was ludicrous. What’s next: boycotting stores that don’t wish their customers a Happy New Year? Or what about a Happy Thanksgiving?
The fact that that you recommended boycotting stores that don’t celebrate or offer good wishes for a particular religious holiday is really where you have crossed the line. A foundation of America’s greatness is freedom of religion, yet you advocate penalization of those that don’t subscribe to the majority view. O’Reilly, although I love your show –you swung and missed on this one. Contrary to what you seem to believe, we are not a Christian country. We are a country of mostly Christians. With your segment, you presented an excellent case why Christmas should not be honored as a national holiday – the opposite of what you espouse.
I will continue to watch and enjoy your show, and bust on you when you mess up.
