Thank God for our brave defender of Christmas

Plano schools angered over comment by Bill O’Reilly

You know, if not for perennial DUMB@$$ Bill O’Reilly, those evil godless trolls who run the Plano Public Schools just might have been able to sneak this one past an unsuspecting public. Yes, without O’Reilly looking out for us, another battle in the apparently ever-growing “war on Christmas” would be lost while attracting almost no national attention. Man, this makes me want to grab my credit card and buy something from the “O’Reilly Factor” store. Something red or green….

It would seem that colors aren’t just for street gangs anymore. No, sirree. Now the colors red and green have become weapons in the insidious “War on Christmas”. In an effort to hold back the red (and green) hordes from the gates of the righteous community, O’Reilly has discovered that the Plano school district has prohibited the wearing of red and green clothing because the colors represent Christmas.

‘Course, that the Plano School District never actually did this or anything close to it seems not to have slowed O’Reilly in the least. ‘Cuz when you’re in the “No Spin Zone”, you get the truth, the whole truth, and…aw, fuhgeddaboudit. Bill O’Reilly wouldn’t know the truth if it walked up and introduced itself and THEN bit him on the ass.

PLANO ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ School officials want talk show host Bill O’Reilly to retract his on-air comment about the district banning students from wearing red and green because the colors represent Christmas.

O’Reilly told the audience on his Fox News Channel show “The O’Reilly Factor” that a Plano school told students they couldn’t wear red and green clothing. “That’s flat-out fascism,” he said during the broadcast.

The district, located in an affluent Dallas suburb, said in Wednesday’s editions of The Dallas Morning News that it never has prohibited such clothing, and sent e-mails to parents and posted a statement on its Web site about the “false rumor.”

“What vehicle do I have to say Bill O’Reilly is flat wrong?” said Richard Abernathy, an attorney for the school district.

Abernathy told O’Reilly in an e-mail to that his fascism comment “smacks of McCarthyism and represents yellow journalism at its best.” Abernathy signed the note, “Merry Christmas.”

If there is any justice in our world, there will be a little bit more coal in O’Reilly’s stock this Christmas morning- wrapped in red and green. What f——-g maroon….
