I'm wondering if he is responding to this Fox News piece: http://videosift.com/video/The-War-On-Christmas

The War On Christmas has been added as a related post - related requested by PlayhousePals.

"Is it too early to do a War on Christmas segment?...It's never too early for that." they say with great glee.

Sounds to me like FOX News is the only one creating the War on Christmas.
And trying to shift the blame over to anything that opposes them.

I reckon the only people perpetuating this "War on Christmas" myth are conservative organisations who exploit the outrage for fundraising gains. "Help us fight this marginalisation of the LORD your GOD! Cheques accepted."

i was hanging out with my cousin today, he went around everywhere warning everyone about the war on christmas. you know, that fox news theory (fabricated) that liberal media is trying to destroy christmas

This is why I fight in the War on Christmas!

yes you believe in ghosts. Just 1 though. And everything else you believe is at least as silly as anything Halloween drags up. Oh and as long as your tossing out pagan holidays toss out Yule will ya? The rest of us are tired of hearing about the so called war on christmas.

AForC, I think you just made SD's point for him. Your post was thick with condescension. I'm a scientist, and I happen to not hold any particular religious affiliations. However, I often attempt to hold dialogue with religious folks, and try to understand their world view. I agree, it is important that those with secular belief systems organize so that we are taken seriously by our elected representatives. However, I don't feel it is necessary to downright insult the beliefs of another, nor do I feel that is a productive means to the ends we both desire. It is the tendency of the authors on your list to do so, and it is for that reason that I, and many like me, tend to avoid their rhetoric. Likewise, I try to avoid the "War on Christmas" type rhetoric. Rhetoric from both sides is widening the divisions between us, and tending to entrench people more in their beliefs. That tends to work against the aim of a more secular, enlightened, or free-thinking society. I think Dawkins could do far more good for the world by keeping his subject matter to biology. Further, it is important to point out that people like Sam Harris are doing what they're doing for the same reasons that tele-evangalists do... monetizing their particular belief system.

Blah blah blah. Drumming up controversy where there is none. A few Christmases ago in the town square of Vernon, Connecticut there was a display erected by the Connecticut Valley Atheists, depicting the still-standing Twin Towers of the World Trade Center with the caption "Imagine No Religion." Not less than fifty feet from this exhibition was the hamlet's traditional Nativity scene. Neither was marred by vandalism or abuse, each standing for the entirety of the Christmas season. This is because the majority of Americans understand what the First Amendment of our Constitution means.

Surely this film is nothing but schlock propaganda whose only intent is to stir up a potentially passionate minority of the United States. But whose interests are being served with such a piece? What exactly does the movie want its viewers to do with the falsely stoked rage? Bill O'Reilly for one salivates at the broadcast each year when he gets to declare the never existent war on Christmas that the "secular progressive elite" has waged on the the "real America."

Sigh.

*promote the war on Christmas.
