And in the Communist/Socialist/Stalinist dictatorships of Cuba, Venezuela & Nicaragua the poinsettia is virtually part of their holiday displays...
I downloaded the 12/23 show and all I heard at minute 23 was some Episcopelian agreeing with the host.
Make sure you click on Jerry Klein Show On Demand - Sunday, 12/23. Jerry also subbed for Chris Plante during his first hour (from 2-3 p.m.), so that one is not it.
Go here, scroll down to Jerry Klein Show On Demand - Sunday, 12/23 - go to the 23:07 minute - that’s me (Silvie in Waldorf) -

Jerry Klein is a first-rate jackass, and I'll be happy to tell Jerry and Chris Core that to their faces. I work with several very nice Jewish people and they don't have a problem with Christmas and its traditions. His attitude is exactly why the PC war against Christmas is ruining it for everyone.
FYI - when you’re on the On Demand page, the link is the second one from the top (Sun., 12/23 - Jerry Klein)
Merry Christmas to you, VR! Hope you have a joyous season!
You too, Silvie! I heard you call into Andy and Grandy (or was it Chris Core) one day last week. You really do have an elegant radio voice...!
Possibly Grandy & Andy... I haven’t called Core’s show since around summertime...
Blue states should get blue poinsettias and red states should get the red ones........ ;-)
I got it this time, thanks
Maybe the management is still giving them to everyone BUT Jerry, and no one is telling him...
Heck, that’s what I’d do.
FELIZ NAVIDAD to you and yours. All of you are in my prayers this Christmas.
Sorry, but you need re-education. Such an action could be construed as 'giving a Christmas gift'. That would be even more offensive to the Perpetually Offended Thinskins, than being merely offered one.
Such a suggestion might even provoke him to set fire...Oh; wait; I'm confusing this Perpetually Offeneded Thinskin with the other Perpetually Offended Thinskins.
Actually, the management, bent over backwards to be inoffensive, ruined it for everyone. They could have simply given everybody except Klein poinsettias.
A similar incident occurrred in Kensington, MD in 2001. Santa Claus was banned there (he normally showed up for the lighting of the town Christmas tree) because a couple Jewish families complained. It turns out they would have been happy with a Menorah or some other Jewish symbol next to the tree, IIRC. But the town government went overboard, got rid of Santa, and renamed the tree a Holiday Tree or some such happy horsecrap. There was a major uproar involving, among many others, members of Free Republic, the Tyranny Response Team, a "Christian" motorcycle "club", and a well-known anti-Semitic nut who had nothing to do with the other groups.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Jerry probably isn’t an observant Jew. I have friends that are Jewish and they are generally very open minded and gracious people.
I believe that any decent and practicing Jew would accept the gift in the spirit that it is offered. It is not meant to be offensive - anybody with common sense would know not to be offended.
Having had the misfortune to have heard his program, it appears that Jerry is even more crass than I had expected.
He has no class.
I’m sure he is very pleased to know my low opinion of him. That’s the kind of person that he is.
ENCINITAS, January 16, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Many pro-life organizations use Christmas season sales of poinsettias to raise funds, but according to a US-based researcher, so do Planned Parenthood and other abortionists in the US. James Hartline, a Christian activist in California wrote to LifeSiteNews.com warning that the poinsettias decorating the churches and homes of Christians in the US could easily originate from a family-owned business that has been supporting abortion for decades.
The Ecke Ranch in Encinitas, California, supplies 70% of all of the poinsettias sold in the United States and the Ecke family is among the most generous supporters of Planned Parenthood and long-time political activists for the abortion movement. The Ecke family features prominently in the major donors list in the fall 2005 edition of the San Diego/Riverside County Planned Parenthood Newsletter.
Someday (hopefully) some of them will awaken.
A shame for the ones that will not.
