Not everyone will get the point of the sign.

Yep-- do folks know for a fact that this was the origin of the protests-- Jewish families protesting what they saw as a Christian tradition? If the Jewish twist was just speculation, no matter how educated, then those guys shouldn't have jeopardized the Santa message like that...

"...Why can't we ban Jews?" That's just a bit crass for that particular forum. I understand where it's coming from, most of us do I believe, but I think the protest would've been represented better without it. In fact, does anyone know if these two guys were even part of the Santa group? If I were a liberal disruptor, I'd do exactly that-- show up with borderline-outrageous misrepresentations of what the protesting group was trying to get across, to try to alienate folks to the message...

They do sound like agents provocateurs. Many people are disgusted by the unrelenting attacks on their faith and traditions but I don't know anyone who would think this a good way to stop the attacks.

They both happen to be banned freepers...but they are in no way right of center. They only lasted a few weeks on FR before making idiotic statements such as was stated on the banner. Their political ideology is self-described by at least one of them as libertarian-socialist, a paradox unto itself.

Only place I heard that from was the wacko. There wasn't anything I saw in the media before or after that would indicate it was a Jewish family that complained.
