Two men identifying themselves as Bill White and James B. MacArthur were part of the dispute - holding a 10-by-5-foot sign that read: "If Jews can ban Santa, why can't we ban Jews?"

The two were ordered by police to move from the sidewalk and take their large sign across the street.

But the moment they started to move the sign, a teen in a Santa suit leapt toward them and ripped down the sign, answering the chants from the red-and-white crowd: "Take it down! Take it down!"

I think many here have misunderstood what happened. These were agent provocateurs trying to disrupt a funny and good natured protest. Turns out the Santas were true patriots here unlike alot of members on this thread. The media spin was in the first sentence and the truth in the last.
