In Bill O’Reilly’s Talking Points Memo declaring victory in the War on Christmas, he cited a column by the Philadelphia Daily News’ Carol Towarnicky. O’Reilly said that for her comment that “No religion should be in the public square, not even when the overwhelming majority of citizens practice it,” Towarnicky would be applauded by “Joseph Stalin, Mao, and Fidel.”
Here’s Towarnicky’s full column, with her take on O’Reilly’s real victory:

“When underpaid and underinsured cashiers sell you stuff you can’t afford to give to people who don’t really need it, much of it made in deplorable conditions overseas, they will be sure to wish you a “Merry Christmas” instead of that sinister “Happy Holidays,” she writes. Her column advocates a re-focusing onto Advent saying, “Just maybe, it would focus our attention on the churches, homes and families where the real Christmas still thrives.”
