LOS ANGELES, CA, December 14, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Barbara Walters likes to receive Christmas greetings from high-profile celebrities and leaders, but apparently not if they refer to the Bible.

On Thursday's episode of ABC's The View, Walters expressed dismay that President and Mrs. Bush would send out greetings containing Scripture.

During the segment, Walters showed the other gals some of the "highfalutin Christmas cards," and explained the White House card:

[dynachrome]

Can't say what I'm thinking.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Yes, everyone knows that the Bible has nothing to do with Christmas. /s

[advertising guy]

go to Vegas and listen to old pit bosses tell ya about this horney witch.......endless stories there

[golfisnr1]

Me too.

[NordP]

Me either.

[tobyhill]

Dear Barbara Wawa,

Go to hell! How’s that scripture?

Love George

[attiladhun2]

A bigoted and thoroughly ignorant witch.

[Petronski]

Kudos to Laura Ingraham for giving this heavy play this morning.

“Oh my gawd, it’s a quote from Nehemiah! Call the ACLU! Run for the hills!”

[Hoodat]

There's a reason they call it CHRISTMAS.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, it’s a real shame when Christianity intrudes into Christmas like that.

[dynachrome]

I hesitated to post this from the bottom of the article in the excerpt, but I am not in a forgiving mood right now.

"Christmas greetings can be sent to Barbara Walters at the following address. CMI asks that Christmas greetings be worded in the spirit of the season.
Barbara Walters
c/o The View
320 West 66th Street
New York, NY 10023"

[goodnesswins]

I heard this....and all I could think was.....are all those who are against this, and other Christmas stuff, going to WORK ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!????

[noname07718]

As if you needed more proof that she’s an idiot. There is ample proof offered every day from her TV show. anyone who watches that trash isn’t capable of taking care of themselves.

Where does this mental midget think the Word “Christ” in Christmas comes from but the Bible? She is a moron.

[Tennessee Nana]

Duh....

(Think, Nana, think)

I cant think of anything to say...

(Y’OK)

[trailboss800]

Barbara Walters can go right ahead and worship her father the devil and she can also keep her mouth shut. I really don’t care what she thinks of the children of God.

[ladyinred]

Does the liberal hack have any idea what Christmas is about?????

[rocksblues]

OK I will, when she dies I won’t cry!

[Hoodat]

Barbara Walters obviously missed this one from six years ago.

[Thumper1960]

...Walters persisted in her critique, asking, "Don't you think it's a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card?"

Walters is an idiot. An over the hill, dementia-suffering wrinkled Lefty prune bag whose best days ended before the first Moon landing. If Walters were to read this post, I'd like to be the first to inform her that Christmas is a religiously significant "holiday", due to the simple fact that Christmas is the birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ!!!

What do you expect, Walters?

If there were a way to have MY holiday wish granted, it would be for that moron, and her "View" crew, sans Elizabeth, to be sent to Cuba in perpetuity so the hag bag panel can service their master and false god, Fidel.

[Cagey]

That Old Bag should retire.

[Poser]

This is just too funny for words.

[Slicksadick]

Beats the heck out of this PC POS.

[G Larry]

HA! See post#6.

Barbara, it is the Christmas season, and the point of the season is to share in the joy of the Coming of Christ.

If others don’t appreciate your invitation, then so be it.

But no Christian is under any obligation to be cowed by the possible objections of secularists, atheists, or those from other religions.

[sappy]

I gave a co-worker a gift card to a coffee joint inside a christmas card.

She said, I don’t celebrate Christmas, I’m Jewish.

I said, well, I’m a Christian and I’m celebrating MY holiday by giving a gift to you. If you don’t want it, I will give it to someone who is grateful.

[dynachrome]

“This is just too funny for words”
Outside of the fact it really honked me off, I knew Freepers would come thru with some fun suggestions for Baba Wawa!

[madison10]

an't say what I'm thinking.

Neither can I.Don't usually say those words.

[freekitty]

Barbara, go crawl back under that rock.

If we want your opinion; we will ask for it.

Don’t you just want to scream about these people who really think they are above God?

[pogo101]

Babba Wawa would prefer "Choice On Earth," perhaps:

[delacoert]

"Don't you think it's a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card?"

Barbara sings a special "holiday" carol in the key of cognitive dissonance.

[steve7]

The “View” is now surpassed in credibility by professional wrestling.

[ladyjane]

... -getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and -"

It's a Christmas card!

[jimbo123]

Send email to Babawawa:

[mel]

This can’t be for real

[lonestar]

I’m thinking she’s senile!

[Cecily]

The next thing you know, Babwa will be gunning for the United States Postal Service and their religious imagery Christmas stamp.

Sorry to be blunt here, but what did you expect? Did you want the Jewish person to acknowledge your holiday? Did you want them to thank you for being such a great person?

Next time a Muslim person gives a gift in honor of the prophet Muhammad you sure as shooting better accept it or you too will be deemed ungrateful.

[dynachrome]

#11 has the address where you can send a Christmas card to her.

[MamaB]

Thanks. I went to the site and sent an email but this is even better. We should all send her a CHRISTmas card. Just make sure it says CHRISTMAS ON IT.

[SunStar]

Hey Barbara Walters - up yours!

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

LOL There’s just not enough time in her day don’t ya know. :)

[Eddie01]

You know (shaking finger), evil inhuman spirits (demons) fear scripture. I wonder?

[NormsRevenge]

what a senile old.. .. coot.

ABC's Barbara Walters Slams White House Christmas Card for including Scripture

The White House Christmas cards are paid for by the RNC, not the government - so shut the hell up Barbara!

[delacoert]

... -getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and -"

It's a Christmas card!

Maybe we should require one of those cigarette pack style Surgeon General warnings about religious content in Christmas card.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

oh wait, from the rest of the article

...Walters showed her co-hosts a Christmas card from Elton John and his partner David Furnish that had angels on the cover. She didn't have similar concerns over the religious imagery as she did about the Scripture printed in the White House card...."

[wildbill]

Bawa was right! Why bring religion into a purely commercial holiday? That crosses the line between Church and State.

[mathluv]

I thought that all of the cards from the President and First Lady for several years had biblical quotes. I have kept mine, but they are not easily accessible.

Maybe this is the first year she has seen one.

[whitedog57]

Barbara, you old hag. You have no talent and your opinions are stupid. There was a reason that Rosie O’Donuts was on “The View.”

[dynachrome]

Pretty darn close to what I was a thinkin’

[FreeperinRATcage]

Did she keep the gift?
