Did he bring up the rumor that poinsettias “are poisonous”?

Ever since then, in subsequent years, management has not given any resident of the complex any poinsettia.

A HOA is not a government per se, why would it have to follow this kind of rule? Why couldn't it just ask who wants poinsettias or not instead?

And you know what? I bet he thinks he “made the world a better place” through his petty little exercise in self-expression.

It a way his actions are almost poetic. We should all join Jerry's crusade :-)

Would I be offended if someone gave me a dradle as a gift even though I’m not Jewish? Of course not.

When someone won’t accept a pretty flower as a gift throw that person in the volcano.

Another spoiler getting his jollies by spoiling Christmas for others.

I wish people would ignore these idiots. They don’t mean spit.

Time for a link to the story of the Evil Genius behind the promotion
of what Jerry Klein apparently thinks is a “non-kosher” plant.
(Of course, the Evil Genius is one of those D-mned Southerners,
so he was obviously running a Christian Fundamentalist Slave-Holder
plot with those poinsettias!)
(yes, I am being facetious)

I don’t accept poinsettias either. They are toxic to domestic livestock, which is what I’m equipped with.

The manager is the one who was politically correct. Jerry is just an ingracious whiner.

When the manager stopped the practice of giving the flowersd as a gift, the manager was kowtowing to the whiners. Just as a school district or city to the ACLU.

Find his address and have everyone in DC/MD/VA send him a red and white one.

I can’t see why Jerry is upset, after all, they’re “Red” just like “liberals”...

I downloaded the 12/23 show and all I heard at minute 23 was some Episcopelian agreeing with the host.

During his Sunday show (yesterday) Jerry, who is also Jewish, narrated the story about how it came about that he does not accept poinsettias (as gifts or otherwise) during the holiday season.

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.

Hey, Jerry! There are "Hanukkah poinsettias" available these days. White poinsettias spray-painted blue:

Maybe the management is still giving them to everyone BUT Jerry, and no one is telling him...

Heck, that’s what I’d do.

So, we can say that Jerry, with his political correctness in all its glory, “ruined it for everyone”.

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!
