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.” ...

In days of old the MEN of society would have broken this guys nose and kicked his ass for good measure.
But OH NO, PC world has made this behavior acceptable.
Where have the men gone?/S
I know, they have been banned from moderating unruly behavior.

Agreed. If a Jewish friend were to wish me Happy Hanukkah, I wouldn't be offended by it, even though I am Christian.

For the record, anyone out there of whatever religion is free to wish me joy, happiness, and health. I welcome your good intentions in the spirit of my Lord and Savior.

Me too, but I could certainly understand it.

Once you take off it is almost impossible to get the door open and if you could, it musses up the other passengers hair.

I thought Obama flies United.

Only when he has his Minister of Unity (Al (BabyFace) Sharpton), flying with him...

what kind of moron gets themselves that worked up over something like that anyways.

Most college professors, academics, self-proclaimed intellectuals, and the Occupy-Wallstreet morons.

I like all the celebrations. Don't matter if I'm not Jewish, Happy Hannukah to everybody. Eight crazy nights and all of that. Plant all the menorahs in the town square and spin all those dreidels. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Winter solstice - celebrate that at will. I'm not offended at all when pagans dance about trees at the moment of the sun's furthest southern declination from the Equator. Fill my goblet with wine, I don't care.

These idiots who complain about Christmas ought to be boiled in their own pudding.

Why are these grumpy, intolerant people so AFRAID of the cross? To me, a "Merry Christmas" is uplifting and puts a smile on my face.

I wish people Merry Christmas even if they’re Jewish. If they want to wish me Happy Hanukkah, I’ll joyfully except it in the spirit of the season.

I have heard “Happy Hanukah” from Jews I know. I have heard happy Eid from Malaysian friends and even went to their party. I did not flip out

Hey, I know!

Let’s go to the middle east and tell them they shouldn’t perform Muslim customs.

Not everyone celebrates... er... do they celebrate anything?
