Baldwin just automatically assumed that Cohen would be offended because she is Jewish. It would appear Michelle is a child brought up through the publick skool sistim.

This makes me really angry. Our Jewish friends are always very gracious about our observance of Christian holidays. This presumption that they'd all be offended by Christmas music or other celebrations is an insult to the Jewish community as much as it is a suppression of Christian religious expression.
I'm always aware of the depth of religious censorship at Christmas. Our children's school concerts are carefully programmed to avoid any mention of Christ. The music alternates between winter/seasonal favorites and Jewish music. It's OK to sing of Hannukah but not Christmas. I like Jingle Bells and Sleigh Ride, but I'd sure like to hear Joy to the World too. When caroling with a group of our church youth last week, I was sad to learn that they basically didn't know Christmas carols. They knew the music and lyrics to Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells, but no religious carols. Singing them once a year on Christmas Eve just doesn't suffice for learning them.

Why no address to the Riverside mayor or city officials? They need to be asked why a city government official took such unlawful action.

Just what were the police officer and Michelle Baldwin going to do if the choir director refused to stop the singing and proceeded with their program? Tear gas? Nightsticks? Handcuffs all around?

I hope Miss Baldwin will get lots of hate mail.
She needs to be made fully aware of what an idiot she is.

The irony is the people who want to be "free" from religion will be praying to allah one day when islam takes over and they will be the ones who helped make it possible.

Michelle Baldwin flew across country to stand in line for hours to have Jimmy Carter sign her copy of his new anti-semitic book. She thinks Israel is the problem in the middle-east and that Arafat was a great leader. Baldwin also endorses right of return. I can see why she thought that Cohn might be offended.
Sac/on.

Amber Eyerly, with the New York-based PR firm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I bet Amber is a graduate of a **very** expensive and highly competitive top-name university.
Amber has spent several years on a campus that has totally indoctrinated her in the evils of Christmas. After swimming in a sea of anti-Christian bigotry, not only in school but with other top-tier college grads at her New York PR company, Amber is likely surprised that a Jew would not be offended by a Christmas carol.
And,,,with a name like "Amber", I am guessing she is about 25 years old.

One of my Jewish friends {for over 40 years} makes it a point to call me {and many of our mutual friends} every Christmas Day wishing us a Merry Christmas. Several years ago, I asked him why he chose Christmas Day, and his response was, "It's not my Holiday, but since I have the day off and with nothing special to, it is a perfect day to make calls. Besides, we're friends and I know it's an important day to you guys". Nuff said.

Baldwin did`nt even think she had to talk to Cohen about it. Baldwin just automatically assumed that Cohen would be offended because she is Jewish.Undoubtedly because that's what she learned in her hyper PC university.
That also got me pissed off. That Michelle Baldwin would make such outrageous assumptions. Unwittingly, her do-gooder stupidity generated anti Semitism. The road to hell is paved with good intentions

And if the choir had refused to stop singing?
What would the fascists do? Arrest them? Mace them? Take out their tazers and stun them?
The Left and PC crowd should be fearful of the day when Christians feel so threatened and cornered that they emulate the muslim hordes and resort to a Holy War against the atheist cabals.
