Bah, humbug!

A passenger was tossed off a plane at La Guardia Airport on Tuesday after flipping out — because airline workers wished him a merry Christmas.

The man was waiting to board American Airlines Flight 1140 to Dallas when a cheerful gate agent began welcoming everyone with the Yuletide greeting while checking boarding passes.

The grumpy passenger, who appeared to be traveling alone, barked at the woman, “You shouldn’t say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas.” ...

After getting tossed off the plane.... The Hertz agent probably wished him a Merry Christmas when he got his rental car.

He’s probably huddled with his lawyer this very minute.

Let’s start calling this phenomenon what it is — Christmas envy.

Another person who needs a good a$$ kicking. If he had one earlier this wouldn’t have happened.

What a terrible society we live in. Such civil rights violations.

Merry Christmas x100

He has no case, because he refused to calm down. He made himself enough of a hazard to warrant kicking him off.

I flew on American Airlines from LGA to DFW last week. Based upon the demographics of the paasengers on my flight, there is good chance that the scrooge in the article is a muzzie. Regardless, I am nearly certain he is not one of us intolerant Tea-Party types.

You nailed it, & lack of information about the scrooge’s ethnicity confirms it.

Muzzies....the enemy in our midst.

I wish my Christian friends, “Merry Christmas,” and my Jewish friends, “Happy Hanukkah.” If I’m not sure, I say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, season greetings.” This should not be an issue among rational, tolerant people.

I have no time for these kind of idiots. It’s Christmas and whether you celebrate it or not you can still go along with it in this Christian country though bozo and his commie pals are trying to change.

We try very hard NOT to fly thru LGA - I HATE that airport- nothing CLOSE to personal service at any overpriced food place.

THAT said...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

For a minute, as I read this story, all is right with the world.

With the exception of the newly refurbished Delta Terminal C, LGA is only one small step above third-world.

A couple weeks ago a clerk at Lowes wished me Merry Christmas, I returned the greeting and started to walk away, then thought better of it.

Went back and said, "You just wished me a Merry Christmas, I do not count myself as a Christian, BUT I very much appreciate the greeting! I don't like it when I get a lukewarm 'Happy Holidays' I say back 'Merry Christmas' get a second 'happy holidays' give 'em The Look and get a meek "We're not allowed to say 'Merry C-C-Chr--, I mean, we can only say 'happy holidays'"

I HATE that.

Thank you for the Merry Christmas!

The customers he was with thanked me...
