Carr: Gov gets message out with ‘holiday’ greeting (wished Muslims a ‘blessed Eid al-Adha,’)
Boston Herald ^ | October 16, 2013 | Howie Carr

When it comes to Christmas, Gov. Deval Patrick is a “happy holidays” kind of guy.I mean, if the bar exam had had a political correctness section on it, it wouldn’t have taken Deval three tries to pass it.

As you know, it’s important never, ever to mention the name of a Christian holiday, because you might offend somebody.

This should be enough to deposit Carr into the dumpster!

Merry Christmas you politically correct pond scum!

Carr is ridiculing Patrick who is a jellyfish and rodent wrapped up into one Lil Barry wannabe.

It is also a particularly offensive holiday to both Christians and Jews because it commemorates the day when Abraham was willing to sacrifice “Ishmael” (the illegitimate son of Abraham’s, wife Sarah’s servant.

God rejected Ishmael and ordered him and his mother cast out by Abraham many years earlier. It was Isaac (father of Jacob/Israel), not Ishmael, who Abraham was willing to sacrifice.

So, Patrick is comfortable supporting a holiday based upon a Satanic, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian Islamist LIE, but not wishing a merry Christmas to anyone.

The most recent comment on the newspaper’s website: “It’s not often I agree with Howie Carr, however, on this one, he’s absolutely correct!” Imagine Patrick on the Supreme Court.

Y'know, when exposing liberals for being the scum they are, it's usually best to base your statements in fact. Crap articles like this serve no one, as anyone with a computer can take the 2 seconds to find out that Carr is full of crap.

From Facebook:

Deval Patrick

Merry Christmas to all. As you join with family and friends for this special day, may we also keep in our hearts our servicemen and women who are serving us abroad and cannot be with their families today. We appreciate them, and thank them for their sacrifice. December 25, 2011

Deval Patrick

Wishing a joyful and merry Christmas to all. May the blessings of the season remind us to show kindness through our service to one another. December 25, 2012

And Twitter:

Tree lighting ceremonies online, etc.

Why do we need to wallow in this nonsense so often?

Speed reading, unfortunately, requires a normal, functioning brain. Mine wasn’t engaged.
