FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly responded to a Jewish caller to his radio show who objected to "Christmas going into schools" and explained that he "grew up with a resentment because I felt that people were trying to convert me to Christianity."
O'Reilly told the caller that America is "a predominantly Christian nation" and that "if you are really offended, you gotta go to Israel." O'Reilly labeled the caller's concerns "an affront to the majority" and insisted that "the majority can be insulted, too." During his exchange with the caller, O'Reilly also mistakenly referred to "the seven candles" of Hanukkah.
You can read the whole thing at Media Matters.
My favorite part is where Falafel Boy pointed out that Christmas is a federal holiday.
That's nice... the Christians can celebrate their religion, and the pagans can reflect on the true meaning of seperation of church and state.
