They shift the conversation that way - if they call it the Clinton News Network when it is clearly licking Trump's fingers, that delegitimizes anything positive CNN airs about Clinton and anything even slightly negative they air about Trump...and if they say it enough, it becomes a generally-accepted truth.

I've seen Christianists get so all up in someone's face about saying "merry Christmas" that the targeted person gets annoyed with them, which they THEN claim is "proof" that the person is "anti-Christian."

In the mid-80's/early 90's I worked for a major American symphony orchestra which shall be nameless. We were not allowed to call the special December concerts "Christmas" concerts, we had to call them "Holiday" concerts. As I recall, this phenomenon began even earlier than the mid-80's. I prefer to think of it as a return to pre-Christian celebrations of the Winter Solstice than as an attack on Christianity (one and the same thing to some people). And so here is my Holiday card to everyone at Wonkette, and my favorite Holiday song - Owain Phyfe singing "Drive The Cold Winter Away" (12 degrees here last night). https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

"Merry Christmas" is the new (well, not that new) "Go Fuck Yourself".
