This latest Christmas flak... |
|
It's just another wedge issue. A rather disgusting one, IMO.

2. I'm not sure it is another wedge issue. Many do not seem to be |
|
biting. I look at it more as how irrelevant the press has truly become.

9. A wedge issue? In what way? |

Liberals and progressives almost universally just don't give a shit about this "issue".
In fact, we should should come out pro-Christmas, just to piss them off.

it's suppose to be a season that celebrates the spirit, love, peace and also a time of reflection
the holidays around this time of year encompasses many religions, beliefs and traditions - which should be encouraging respect and understanding
if the commercialization of the season is troublesome - this "celebrate-it-OUR-way" crap has ruined it completely

5. You have to wonder what their strategy is here. |
|
Obviously the 'libruls killed xmas' offensive is yet another planned propaganda campaign. Thus it is deliberate, not just some idiocy randomly spewed by dild o-liely. So what is their game here? Like the idiotic schiavo campaign, they seem to be interested in promoting overt theocracy - stirring up the dominionist fundies, pumping them full of venom and bile against the damn libruls. To what end? I'm not liking the implications at all.

12. It's O'Liely's agenda |
|
and it's all about TV ratings and making $$$. That is all. I don't believe it is any kind of orchestrated attack.

14. I don't think Dild does anything on his own. |
|
And it isn't just him. The 'libruls killed xmas' meme is not just coming from the dild o'liely show.
But you could be right.

7. Maybe this is the next issues for '08 - Dems want to take XMAS away... |
|
Given that the whole terror thing is out od steam, and they can't run on their record, this is the new issue for '08.
We have to start it now, so that it is a big deal by '08

13. Close but look closer in |
|
It's about the Congressionals in 2006.
Loonie Tunes issues like this tend to work more effectively on the local level and they know that the polls show that unless something changes the RNC will lose the House. And, if they lose the House they're looking at investigations and impeachment in 2007.

8. I tell one Freeper Father |
|
that if he wants to insist it's "CHRISTmas" across the board, then Jesus is responsible for killing Santa Claus. Of course, this doesn't sit well with him, since he supposedly has little kids.
Each time he insists that it be "CHRISTmas" only then I just repeat, "then Jesus killed Santa."
He can't argue with that much. Only asks why I hate little kids. Typical, when they have nothing else. I told him it wasn't me that hated little kids. If he wanted to make it all about Christ then he and his ilk are the ones responsible for killing off Santa for the kiddies.
Of course, this only works with those who want to rally around the Santa myth for their kids.
