It would be ok if O’Reilly really was clinically insane, but downright ignorance is no excuse. Christmas was originally a pagan holiday called the Winter Solstice when people celebrated the day on which the period of time when the sun shone during the day began to increase. When the Christians began converting Pagans to their religion, they superimposed a holiday celebration of Christ’s birth over the celebration of Winter Solstice. This was done only after many failed attempts to stop the converts from celebrating in their pagan traditions. Easter is the Christian’s attempt to hijack the pagan holiday of Summer Solstice. Even O’Reilly’s blond commentators think he is crazy. Wow.
This is classic! Republicans taking one small part of the big picture and blowing it out of proportion to push an agenda.

Glen Beck is officially insane. A few days ago, I walked past someone listening to the radio at the pool. I recognized the voice, but it took a minute to place it. The radio host was urging his listeners to “go deep into themselves” and summon up a radical surge of political uprising fuelled by “love of God”. I passed it off as some religious nut job until I recognized the voice as Glen Beck. Yikes! The rhetoric easily fit a fundamentalist jihad maniac.
I had heard that Glen Beck’s Fox show had lost 15 major sponsors recently because he repeatedly called Obama a racist on his television show. His exact remark was that President Obama was a racist with a “deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” Never mind that Obama is just as white as he is black.
Glen Beck’s most recent self contradiction in an effort to dig his own grave a few more feet is comically captured in Jon Stewart’s August 13 show. Glen Beck vs. Glen Beck on healthcare:
