Buttars, I HOPE, takes this as a GREAT compliment! MSNBC is athe least reputable of ALL the news services. They gave Obama a large amount of free cheerleading leading up to his win. They are THE MOST FAR-LEFT of any news organization. I didn't see the report but I'm sure it had to do with Buttars wanting to call Christmas what it is, - CHRISTMAS! See, the far-left don't like that! It implies a belief system in something besides secularism, and that makes them nuts!

I thought Foxnews was a little tilted until I saw MSNBC!

By the way, I thought Olbermann lost his job, and they put him in sports or something???

Can't people see the light that this "war on Christmas" is some made-up war so that some people can choose to feel persecuted? There's nothing wrong with happy holidays- it INCLUDES Christmas, and every other holiday during the season. Why do people choose to think that is somehow a bad thing?

What an embarrassment! Doesn't he realize that every time he's in the media it's over something rediculous? Does the Utah Legislature just funnel all the crazy legislation to him, knowing he's the only one that will actually run it?
Get a job where I'm not the one paying you! You're not worth my dollars!

That's why I use the stock sling around my shoulders...
Behar is yet another entertainer with a much higher opinion of herself than the rest of the world.

I would consider this an honor! I don't give much clout to Keith 'World's Worst Commentator' Olbermann or MSNBC. Maybe this will hurt his and their ratings even further resulting in only about 10 people watching his show?

Oh West Jordan, how did you vote for this guy AGAIN?

As for the making fun of Mormon thing, as soon as Mormons stop telling everyone that they are the only people who have the correct answer the "attacks" will stop.

But if you ask me, the sword has two edges, and Mormons just do not want to admit that they are antagonistic.

olbermann is the top on my list of most biased "news" person. He's an idot!

Keith Olbermann got a raise (four year contract worth $7.5 million per year).

It was all over the news - but you don't watch the news, do you? (Otherwise, you'd know more about MSNBC directly, rather than taking hate-radio's POV for it.)

Keith made an excellent point: If the government passes a law recommending that merchants say only "Merry Christmas", then someone else can recommend that Jewish and Buddhist temples say only "Merry Christmas".

Here's an idea: let�s make Utah a Butters free zone. Lets eliminate that unpleasant lump, that at times bulges out and makes offensive or inane noise.

Who is stupid enough to watch MSNBC? Not many. They have so few viewers, they can't even rank them in surveys. Keith Olbermann is obviously the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. No one else even comes close.

It doesn't suprise me Christians are now under attack in this country from the media. What is ironic is that it is the Judeo-Christian foundation of our law and political institutions that allows it and they are working to destroy it.

The greatest lesson all the stay-at-home people or talk-show crowd can get from this article is how they need to turn their tvs off! Don't support these freaks or their sponsors. No more Ellen, Oprah, the View, Olbermann, MSNBC, CNN, FoxNews, political parties (yes- both the big ones-- face it) or any other network or program that consistently marginalizes LDS beliefs or people. Don't give them the time or the money to continue oppressing you. Almost no media outlet is on your side-- I guarantee it.

If the people watching The View had any sense at all, all 3 of them would be offended at Joy Behar's comment, not to mention the laughs from the others. Unfortunately, on the day this program aired, 2 of them were at the hairdresser and the other was getting her nails done, so nobody saw it.

BTW: I agree with Scott Pierce, the "ladies" on The View are not near as clever as THEY think they are.

I use the term Merry Christmas, but I don't get offended by people who don't or won't use it. Your the type of person WHY stores use a generic greeting. Because if someone with your ahhh tempermental disposition disagrees with the term 'Merry Christmas' they will sue the stores. This in the end is a non issue sure to consume "Senator" Buttars and others of his ilk.

I cannot stand Chris Buttars and have no idea how he keeps being re-elected. He makes me ashamed to be a Utahn because he makes us all look stupid.
