How's this for a brilliant statement, made last night by Bill Cunningham. Bill describes himself as a Devout Christian and a "Great American." On last night's show he showed how so-called Christians are ruining Christmas for the rest of us by helping to make it a meaner, more politicized and far more hypocritical holiday. The show, by the way, broadcast on WLS AM890, which is owned and operated by ABC-you know, that bastion of liberal news and propaganda. The same ABC whose stations run almost exclusively Right wing hate talkers like Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin.
"When I get invited to holiday parties," Cunningham told his audience, "I don't go. When I get invited to Christmas Parties, I often go." Must be nice for any Jewish, or friends of another faith who celebrate the package of multi-ethnic holidays beginning with Thanksgiving and ending with New Years, or even the Orthodox Christmas celebration in late January. Imagine inviting tough guy Cunningham to a party share the joy, friendship and goodwill of the season only to have him basically flip you a big old Republican middle finger.
Its this whole BS war on Christmas that Righties use as a sharp stick to poke folks who aren't paying close attention, are easily swayed or are already nasty litt;e people. What they have succeeded in doing is only making the holiday meaner and nastier. And the season has become nastier, in part because of the consumer mentality that is the truest threat to the Christmas message, but in no small part to disingenuous and scheming people like Cunningham and others.
Turn off Cunningham and WLS, put the jerks out of business and let them go find a real job where they might actually contribute something to the world instead of coarsening it. Lets make this Jerkless Christmas...
That's what I'm talkin 'bout!
