I think the waitress should have took a fork and shoved it up the guys ass

Frankly, I think the caller was a fake.

By the way, I'm missing something. Since when did Olive Garden gain a rep as a "red" company?

(Gad, I feel old. I can remember when conservatives considered "red" an insult.)

Now now, Floridiot, musn't stoop to their level!

Wow what a big man this guy is?

It is this kind of creep that makes me wish to have one hour batting session with, to see the creep piss himself and cry his little eyes out!

Stiffing a hard working soul whose aim is to feed herself and her family, now that is the kind of O'Reilly fan!

I am fucking pissed, really, really pissed, at this fucking Christian Charity.

Years ago I was a cook in a nice hotel restaurant in Santa Cruz, CA. One night one of the waiters- a Persian Muslim- came back from serving a large group of people- about a $300 tab- and he was pissed.

He handed me an envelope that said, "Here is your tip..." and inside was a Biblical verse of some kind.

It's not Christian, it's not Republican, it's just rude and cheap.

backpeddle, stumble, spine (repeat)... the o'reilly rumba!

This is all just another fascist distraction. We shouldn't be wasting time on when when the death of democracy is nigh RIGHT NOW in Ohio. Once HB 3 passes, Rove will have iced the cake on his Nazi scheme to implement a permanent Republican majority.

Any Democrats doing one goddamn thing about it?

Of course not. I guess Howard Dean really means he has a "49-state plan." Oops, I forgot to also subtract Florida. "48-state plan." Oh yeah, and Georgia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and let us not forget California.

Sorry Joan, you know, phony war on Christmas, phony comment, I'm just rectorally speaking on comment #1
(talking out my ass, its all bull-tweed to me)

As an ex-waitress I can say, O'Reilly is exactly the kind of person you'd EXPECT to stiff you on a tip.

What a jerk!!!

Happy Fuckin Holidays, O'Reilly - I hope you get exactly what you deserve this year!

Hope the next waitress spits in his coffee.

I waited tables for a while also. Once, a couple left a $10bill sticking partially out of the check holder. I thought, wow, pretty cool. When I opened the book, it was a Christian pamphlet that had the corner made to be a $10 bill. It said "Disappointed? Don't be, because Jesus died to save you..." or some such bullshit. I thought "Yeah, good way to convert someone - be a total dick to them."

Anyway, people who don't tip are shit. I got paid $2.13 an hour (New Mexico law discounts waitstaff from minimum wage laws) and counted on tips. Some people don't realize this.

The caller did sound fake. O'Reilly & the rest of
his ilk know that they have made a bargain with
some very impressionable people in our population.
I can just imagine some of the Emails they must
get on his radio/tv show telling O'Reilly how
BABY JESUS IS CRYING because the liberials
are trying to take Christ out of Christmas &
guns out of their hands. The RNC have gone to bed
with the Christian Taliban & they know they have to
calm them down every now & then.

Did anyone else notice the caller referring to "the great state of Los Angeles?

This Caller depicts the average intellect of O'Reilly's and Fox News listeners.

I hope 'Bill' and the 'Whole Gang' over at Fox News are proud of themselves.

KESTRELBRIGHTEYES:

I hate Oreilly too, but I think he was suggesting she SHOULD have gotten a tip?

The Olive Garden is a so called red company. Their affileated with the Outback boys who funnel millions to repubs and financed a drive to stop minimum wages from being raised. Something else interesting about Oliley. Howard Stern said on his radio show that he asked him not to mention his sexual harrasment suit.

I heard the program, and the caller sounded legit to me. I mean, he actually sounded angry that this waitress had wished him "happy holidays", like she had the nerve not to know there was a war on Christmas, for Christ's sake. Also, both before and after that call, other callers were greeting Bill with a very robust "Merry Christmas". For example>

BILL: "Let's go to [Tom] in Phoenix. Your in the No-Spin Zone [Tom], what say you?

TOM IN PHOENIX: Merry Christmas, Bill!

I have also heard acquaintance here in red-state land express outrage over secular encroachments on the Christ symbolism of the holiday season. O'Reilly and his ilk are directly responsible for this mindless shit. Let them reap the consequences.

Surely Chirstmas starts in late December, 20th onwards.
I know that in the US the Holiday season starts with Macys parade at the end of November so Happy Holiday's would in my opinion be the correct salutation at this time. Pity the likes of o'rielly can't understand this...

"I can remember when conservatives considered "red" an insult."
Excellent point, from now on I will only refer to repubs as Reds.

Sadly I don’t think this guy was a fake. I only wish he had turned on O’Reilly for being a weak liberal. These guys need to start reaping what they sow.

Well we all know where O'Reilly's brains reside, but what in the hell is wrong with Christians. Open up Webster's Dictionary and you'll see that the No. 1 definition for holiday is Holy Day. Oh 'scuse me, I suppose Holy Day could mean Muslim Holy Day or Jewish Holy Day. Yup, really important stuff, much more important than people dying in Iraq and mold in New Orleans, etc., etc. Happy Holidays!

How sad.

How very sad to know that the caller's whole Christmas depends on whether or not a waitress wishes him a merry one. Frankly, it shows me the narrowness of the so-called "Christians" who think that the world owes them a Christmas greeting.

By the way, the caller could have been a an O'Reilly plant, and if he was, O'Reilly must be desperate to somehow come across as more "tolerant". O'Reilly has a lot of problems, most of which stem from his shallow intellect and vengeful manner. If I were a devout Christian, I would pray that this man's heart be opened with a crowbar. :laugh:

I don't trust Bile O'Rilely at all. It would be just like him to orchestrate a call-in so he could try to pretend he's decent. But he's already been so ugly I have no use for him or his ilk.

The caller was an example of a hate-filled person who has no clue what the true message of Christianity is. I can't believe these jerks, spitting on people who wish them a "Happy Holiday." Honestly - brush that dust off your feet and move on when you run into them this year. I'm saying "Happy Holiday" all this Season - let 'em squirm.

I agree with Joseph Cannon about the RED (Commie) remark. Hah! They finally got something RIGHT!

This whole war on Christmas is a hoax. It's ginned up by the hateful right wingers who cherish nothing and hold nothing sacred or dear. Wishing someone "Happy Holy Days" is a well-intentioned way to include everybody who has a celebration in the winter season.

I love Christmas but now it's ruined. I can't wait for it to be over. I can't wait to see what O'Reilly does to Easter.

I live in the heart of the Taliban, the capital of South Georgia, and the Reds here are completely rabid! All of this "War on Christmas" nonsense, is just another pathetic distraction from the fact that we have a mass murderer as our sitting president, and the architect of 9/11 is still Secretary of Defense.

I think it's pretty sad that this act really affects the most under-paid worker who can least afford to not get any tips....

Just wanted to say, interestingly here in Oz the term 'happy holidays' is never used, can't speak for the uk but to me it seems a decidedly american cultural saying. Most people here say 'merry christmas' or 'have a good one!' lol

...jIMcIRILE said (#7)...

"This is all just another fascist distraction".

This was my first impression, also. It's an understatement to say O'Reilly is "making a mountain out of a mole hill" with this tripe, when weighed against the really important issues of our day.

It is also worth noting that O'Reilly knocked the moron back in a pretty severe manner, basically calling him a crank, and downright "wrong".

This is like Doctor Frankenstein turning his back on the monster he created. These "mega-ditto" types say anything to schmooze their "fearless leaders", and often overstate their already-exaggerated garbage.

It's pretty pathetic, albeit from The Blue State Of Los Angeles. Good Grief. Happy Gefilte Fish.

:laugh: O'Reilly, will never know what is in his food or drink now! When he shows up at the next meal in public, I'm sure he will get alot more than he paid for...he, he, he!...snort, snort..huchhhh....huchhhhh.. petuuuuyyyyy! Ha! Ha! Ha! I hope he accepts the servers generous gift with mucho gusto, slurps, sucking and a ravenous apetite! Wait staff, heads up here comes Bill O'Reilly, take care of him the way he needs!
The staff are going to have a ball with this one.

Hi SadInJax #23 ... I'm a Georgian, too. I'm thrilled to hear from you on this Blog! We gotta keep working with those of us who aren't lockkk-steppers!

Hey, by the way, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Merry Christmas, and (I love it) Happy Gefilte Fish!

Thanks to Audry for pointing out the origin of the word Holiday (Holy Day.) Guess those rabid rightwingers don't take time out from bashing the "left" to study up on what stuff really means! lol

And Janet #26! You really got me laffin' with your comment. Yup Bile O'RILEy is gonna be in for many interesting tastes & textures when he dines out! Yee-haw!

He refused to tip because a waitress said "Happy Holidays", when he had "Holiday Ornaments???" I don't think it was that at all. He is just pain "CHEAP."

Earnie re: #14 - Ooops, yep, you're right.

I should NEVER post in here while multitasking. Thanks for dinging me on that one

Oh yea O'reilly likes to stiff women --- that's what got him into trouble the first time.

Happy Holidays O'Reilly

RED is a very appropriate name for today's conservative voters. In reality, there is very little difference between the policies of a religious conservative and the policies of a left wing communist.

Big dave, your absolutely right. The extremes from both sides of the isle should never be allowed to be in power. And as far as Dildo O Reily goes, well, he's a pompous, overrated, hypocritical jerk off. Stephanie Miller exposes his blalant lies, and flip flopping on a daily basis. I hope a waitress puts some " secret sauce" on his food real soon.

O'Reilly's so full of shit, they ought to glue Coultercunt and Hannityjob together with some Gorilla glue, and shove both of them up his big wimp ass with some C-4. Blow that shit all over the screen during "Talking Points" and let Murdoch clean it up!

This BS is getting out of hand. I just had my car in the shop for an overheating problem and it has a Howard Dean liscence plate cover and they vandalized the car! They charged 200 bucks and didnt fix a GD thing! I found the whole year of 'News world and Report" mags in the tirewell in the trunk! OMG! I live in a bad sick version of Dukes of Hazzard (aka Texas). I gotta shop around for a nice blue state I guess. sigh.

Wait wait wait, y'all, let's not lose perspective here. Sounds like some of y'all are jumping the gun like I did (and I confess, I reacted on what I thought was the story WITHOUT listening to the audio clip first, which is what happens when you have to share the computer room with other people)

Here's the point - Bill O'Reilly was just forced to BACKPEDAL a little bit and say someone was WRONG for NOT TIPPING A WAITRESS just because she said HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

I think SOMEONE just pulled a GOOD ONE on O'Reilly.

Nice shot *bfg*

Fed up re: #34 - Call the owner of the business, and if that doesn't work, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. And take pictures, and either burn them to disk or have them developed so you have them dated if you have to sue.

Small claims court is a wonderful thang.

Thanks bright eyes. as HoDe says 'good idear'.
:)

BTW ..OT but I just have to say..
Just saw Cindy Sheehan today on Booknotes (c-span2) and she was so wonderful. What beautiful American SPIRIT she has! and much courage too!

O'Lieley is a regular in the restaurant where I work and I do spit in his food every time he is in here! Don't tell anyone though, I could lose my low paying job and I need it to pay for the drug prescription for my hepatitis and my T.B. I think I am coming down with the bird flu. cough. cough.

I think this guy is just cheap and looking to glorify his cheapness.

Spitting in peoples food you dont agree with? Thats sounds like a nice ideology. And you wonder why libs dont get elected?

Not in "peoples" (P)Ricky...just people like you.
Chump.

Reminds me of the fake "War on taking Christ out of Christmas by using Xmas" that was going around a few years ago. That is, until someome pointed out that "X" stands for the word Christ in Greek. Just another opportunity to show off the Right's utter stupidity.

Its unfortunate, but I live a little corner of ca. where nuthin ever happens. It sure would be great, though, to see this asshole walking the street sometime. Nothing would make me happier this Xmas than a chance to punch this disgusting pervert in the throat. Hard. Because, you know, all liberals are wimps. And by the way, dosent liberal mean generous? And conservative stingy. Anyway, anyone who does get a chance to spit in this mock-irish assholes food please take it, on my behalf. Thanking you in advance, Casey

Here is a very funny story that rips the evangelical's a new one. I am so sick of there bull shit lies concerning christmas. The phony bastards steal everything and claim it as there own. Sorry for the profanity, its not my story. But I wish it was.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

This is just another excuse by the reds to get the christian right from thinking about what is really going on in this county. Thousands dead, no wmd, torture, medal of freedon for slam-dunk tenant, hecka of a job brownie, to many to mention.
