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:

[Sun]

Glad I don’t watch the view.

[celtic gal]

WE have received several White House Christmas cards from President and Mrs Bush..mailed from Crawford...obtw...and all the ones we have had some biblical quote within and they are lovely cards. Babs WAWA should be glad they thought of her at all.

[celtic gal]

I understand what your goal is here and part of me agrees..send her Christmas Greeting at Christmas. Her holiday was just honored on FOXNEWS...on the other hand...why should I waste 41 cents on her plus the card??She ain’t worth the effort.

[celtic gal]

Try sending the President and Mrs Bush a card...I have and was surprised to receive several from them after up to and including this year! I have kept them all.

[celtic gal]

Her mail box not repsonding? Ha Ha..perhaps she has so many Christmas cards her site crashed.

[Maurice Tift]

I don't know. It really doesn't sound like an offensive Christmas card.

[SuziQ]

In other words, she doesn’t care for CHRISTMAS cards, she just likes innocuous ‘holiday’ cards with feel good comments in them.

[SuziQ]

Maybe she'd like this on a 'holiday' card.

[Coleus]

if you are join the rnc you may get a card.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Better that people don’t express their every thought;

better that we pray for those who despitefully use us;

better to be mistreated for taking the high road than to lower ourselves to the level of those who self-righteously condemn those who place faith in God;

better that we go on a spending fast from the sponsors of such bile—while yet praying for their souls.

Merry CHRISTmas.

[Marie2]

So did she take the card?

[Marie2]

OH duh, sorry, you already answered that.

[SHEENA26]

I bet there’s a strong smell of formaldehyde on the ‘View’ set.

[Texas Mom]

A scripture has been in the White House Christmas Card since 2001 and some one always brings it up like it has never happened before.

Doug, you're acting like an ass. I saw that your account was banned or suspended. I wish I had your address, I would send you a lump of coal just like the one I'm going to send Barbara. Since your address is not available, here's the next best thing. A cyber lump of coal.



If you really want to despise Christmas, there are other places on the net that you can go to spread your holiday gloom. Now enjoy your coal and shut the hell up.

[dbehsman]

This Orthodox Jewish Freeper does not celebrate Christmas, but I wish all of my Christian FRiends a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you very much! I hope that you and your family had a Happy Chanukah.

Side note for Doug:
You see Doug, it's not that hard. Try it sometime.

[MeekMom]

What a dark soul Miss Ba ba Wa ba is.

Yehuda,

Thank you my FRiend! :)

[I got the rope]

LOL...first thing I thought was that he was needling her pagan-ass.
