Fox comes out of the closet...

Tonight on Special Report after the panel had weighed in on the pressing issues of the day, Brian Wilson had the closing "human interest" piece that concerned the National Christmas Tree. Now I understand that the P.C. title for this item is the National Holiday Tree and Wilson acknowledged as much, but he then stated "...but this is FOX and we don't care about P.C. so this is the Nations CHRISTMAS TREE".

I about had a stroke! Congratulations to FOX for not caving in to the PC Police and calling it what it is.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Well done to FOX.

When they take away Christmas, we have to ask what we're fighting for.

Wow, sorry I missed that!

The capital of the People's Republik of Maryland has invited the public this Saturday to celebrate the "The Grand Tree Illumination". Last year there was no star on top. Can't wait to see what PC symbol earns top spot on the "grand illuminated tree" this year.

Looks like the whitehouse calls it a Christmas Tree. Maybe Fox and GWB are the only ones.

I think the White House Christmas Tree and the National Christmas Holiday Tree are different trees.

Why do you say that?

"They" can't make you if you don't want to.

Never happen.

When, if ever, they try to mainstream this garbage, it will be a field day when they expose the truth about the clown that started it.

Brian Wilson was referring to a Capitol Hill Christmas tree that has become known over the years as a "Holiday Tree", then he made his remark about Fox not being P.C.

He then went on to inform of the many other Christmas trees including the WH Christmas tree and the National Christmas tree.

They're not all called "Holiday trees" by the P.C., just the Capitol Hill one.

It was also great when they factored how many copies of the spending bill a tree could produce.

I'm not sure if I remember exactly, but I think they said a 75 foot tree would produce 16 copies of that bill...
