Keith Olbermann just covered the peace sign Christmas wreath story.

[Crunchy Frog]

Just now in Newsmakers. Did a really good job with it, though I think it should have been in the Worst Person in the World segment.

I'm comemorating the story in my sig line BTW.

[Crunchy Frog]

1. Now he's covering the George W Bush historical library.

Arianna Huffington is discussing it now.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. What do the "Christians" who have objected to the wreath

call Jesus, the Price of War?

[Crunchy Frog]

4. Prince of War sounds about right.

Who can figure it out with those people? :shrug:

[DemBones DemBones]

5. Why do you assume the complaints came from Christians?

Did a church organize a campaign against the peace sign wreath?

If a church did organize such a campaign, why blame ALL Christians?

This anti-Christian attitude expressed by so many on the left is going to hurt the left, not Christianity.

[seabeyond]

6. unless us christians on the left own what has happened to our religion

and take it back. i am a christian. i have a silver peace sign necklace on my rearview mirror where most all in this area have a cross. i have had dirty looks fro people and a few comments. i challenge them to tell me the difference between my peace sign and the cross both equally representing cross.

why are the christians not understanding and compassionate to those that are angry at the cult mentality of christianity that has swept our nation in hate and are not equally angry and fighting against it

and in answer to your question i understand it is people saying it represents anti war... i havent heard that it is a christian effort. could be. and maybe not

[libnnc]

7. It's not an assumption

The person who demanded the wreath be taken down stated (falsely) that it is a satanic symbol.

Who polices so-called "satanic symbols" better than so-called "Christians"?

[DemBones DemBones]

11. The person who complained is undoubtedly rightwing but

not necessarily at all religious and certainly not representative of all Christians.

The right has been using that "peace sign is a satanic symbol" meme since the 1960s. But they also claim it's "communist." They'll say anything to avoid admitting it's a peace symbol, derived from the original nuclear disarmament symbol.

[omega minimo]

12. you're right and it looks like that's why posters are using "" and "so called" "Christians"

"The person who complained is undoubtedly rightwing but not necessarily at all religious and certainly not representative of all Christians."

[NEDem]

8. cause "Christians" are cry babies

The fundy element of your religion is hurting Christianity.

Once normal Christians take back their religion from the extremists you will see the "anti-Christian" mentality (as you call it) fall off a bit.

[DemBones DemBones]

10. How do you suggest we take back Christianity?

Kill off all the fundys? That would hardly be liberal or Christian.

We normal Christians have no more control over Christian extremists than normal Muslims do over Muslim extremists.

Do you call Muslims "crybabies" when they protest that their religion is not about hatred?

[symbolman]

13. Just tell everyone in your church to

SPEAK UP against those who would make a mockery of your Religion, get LOUD AND PROUD and we'll get Behind you :)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. If you notice,

the word "Christians" was in quotations. Satire about those people who call themselves followers of Christ and yet don't seem to get the teachings of Christ. Not in any way talking about Christianity in general. Sorry it wasn't clearer to you.

[bluerum]

3. Satan, a liberal commie peacenik. No wonder God damned him.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Love that sig line !!

Did Satan make you do it? :evilgrin:

[Crunchy Frog]

18. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

My personal relationship with Satan is a private matter.

[AspenRose]

14. OK I'm confused

I thought liberals were supposed to wage WAR on Christmas.

Not promote PEACE.

Gads, I'm confused :dunce:

[Fierce]

16. Why bother, Keith?

There are at least 723 threads on it here at DU! Just send the viewers here!

[warrens]

17. His worst person in the world was even worse

I bet that woman is getting phone calls right and left today. She's the head of some science teacher's association or something who turned down free DVDs of Gore's movie because it might upset ExxonMobil, who donate millions to her organization.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Here is her org's response
