More on the War on Christmas

Air America's Sam Seder and conservative blowhard, Bob Knight were on CNN Today debating the much balleyhooed War on Christmas. The beginning is funny, but watch/read it to the end. It's a classic piece of conservative showmanship.

Crooks and Liars has the video.
Atrios has a transcript.

Here's a bit of the funny...

SEDER: Listen, as far as the war on Christmas goes, I feel like we should be waging a war on Christmas. I mean, I believe that Christmas, it's almost proven that Christmas has nuclear weapons, can be an imminent threat to this country, that they have operative ties with terrorists and I believe that we should sacrifice thousands of American lives in pursuit of this war on Christmas. And hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money.

And, the not-so-funny...

KNIGHT: Maria Trapp wrote the story of the Trapp singers that's in "The Sound of Music," and she said she sent her kids to school after the Nazis took over. And they came home and said mama, we can't say the word Christmas anymore. It's now winter holiday.

I think that ought to disturb people...

Yes, I think that ought to disturb people too. God bless us, every one.
