It is amazing. The trees go away and the lawsuit disappears. But according to you the Rabbi had nothing to do with this. Who is ignorant or worse.

SeaTac had a Christmas tree display for 25 years and then the Rabbi threatens to file a Federal lawsuit. The trees disappear and so does the lawsuit. Those are the facts idiot.

Fox Radio news at 1:00 a.m. reporting that the rabbi has dropped the threat of lawsuit, and the trees will be put back. Not sure if it was the rabbi's action, or the deluge of ridicule (and my travel ban) that did the trick.

I hope it is true. The best news I heard all day. Hopefully, the Rabbi or ACLU types won't have a change of heart and threaten SEATAC with financial ruin. I have got my fingers crossed. This has been a mess.

Excellent. Courageous workers, especially when they may be sued by the ACLU, the port authority or Rabbis.

I just have to wonder, what in the world is the matter with this particular rabbi. Will his life be made happier if he can deny the joy others receive from viewing Christmas TREES?

I know what you mean. It really is very petty of him to have done this and his actions have not gone unnoticed. Hopefully he has not done any long term damage to the communities feelings.

I wrote him an email earlier today to express my disappointment. I still cannot believe he thought this was a smart thing to do!

It was a jerk of a thing for him to do and I remain stunned. Poor Rabbi Lapin is stunned too.

The liberal mass media loves it when conservative Jews and conservative Christians are battling - they sit back and enjoy.

"Just a thought: without the miracle of Hanukkah there would be no Christmas. "

Excellent point.

I'm sure the Islamos love it too.
