I don't have a problem of "Happy Holidays" to a person of the Jewish faith.

If I don't know their faith, then it is "Merry Christmas" for me.

Holydays isn’t PC. He was just being polite. Don’t read too much into it.

PC is when you attempt to control someone else’s speech because it may offend someone.

If you freely choose to say something out of courtesy or what may be appropriate for that person, that is just freedom.

I’m with him, on this. Nothing is gained for Christianity by unkindness.

I read that Walters is her real name, and that she was born in Boston. From her accent, I had always assumed she was from Eastern Europe.

If someone’s Jewish, why not wish them a happy Chanukah? Happy holidays is only for when you aren’t sure what religion they are, or they celebrate multiple ones.

I don’t want anybody tells me ‘Happy Eid’l Fitr’ when the person knew that I’m a Christian. In a same manner, I wouldn’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ to a person that I know is a Jews, Buddhist, or Muslim. It’s a common sense, and has nothing to do with PC. So yeah, in this case, I agree with him.

What I want to know about Baba Wawa is how does someone with a speech impediment get a job talking on TV in the first place?

Just say whatever you want and let the chips fall where they may... which can range from a “Thanks” to a heavy theological discussion. If anybody falls apart, say “oops”

Bill O'Reilly Says He Wished Barbara Waters "Happy Holidays" Because She's Jewish: Is This the PC form of Greetings? Cultural and Religious Sensitivity?

What wasn't reported was that he also wished her a good evening when she came into the studio.........

When my Muslim customers tell me they’re celebrating something, I always tell them, “I hope you have a blast.”

There’s nothing wrong with wishing luck to someone from another religion.

There’s nothing wrong with being polite to people, especially if they’re a friend. If I know someone is Jewish I wish them a Happy Hanukkah. Usually they say Merry Christmas back because they know I’m Catholic. If I don’t know a person I always say Merry Christmas because that’s what I’m celebrating.
