Right-wing Christmas Hysteria

.

It gets more ludicrous by the day…

…several conservative media outlets have reported on three ornaments on the White House Christmas tree depicting President Obama’s face superimposed on Mount Rushmore, Mao Zedong, and Hedda Lettuce. Despite the suggestion that those three Christmas tree ornaments (out of hundreds) indicated a “political statement” by the White House, according to the first lady’s office, the tree was decorated by community groups, and the White House was unaware of those specific ornaments.

The right-wing blogosphere is of course outraged. Outraged, I say!

Newsrealblog.com

Considering Obama’s hostility to Christianity, as shown by his celebration of every religion except Christianity, Americans shouldn’t be surprised. After all, the first thing any successful dictator must do is banish God from the public square and make fealty to the state primary.

Undoubtedly, Obama and Michelle are just expressing themselves, as is their right. That they choose to do so by denigrating our Christian traditions in such a disrespectful fashion however, is akin to a dog peeing on a Bible. And that’s just not very presidential.

A dog peeing on a bible?  Wow. Obama really is evil.

GatewayPundit:

What a complete shock. A real stunner.
Barack Obama’s White House Christmas Tree this year includes mass murderer Mao Tse-Tung ornaments.

You’ve gotta hand it to the Obamas. At least they’re consistent.

What is encouraging is that there was a sane voice in wingnuttia which got it right.

AllahPundit at HotAir.com

Laying aside the fact that spotting a right-wing dictator on ornaments in the Bush White House would have had Media Matters stumbling towards its fainting couch, isn’t the most likely explanation here that they really didn’t know what was on the ornaments? Why court PR trouble with a deliberate provocation via something this trivial?

    Dear Wingnut people (and I use that term loosely)

    1. Obama’s a Christian
    2. He was born in the United States
    3. He doesn’t decorate the White House Christmas Tree

    Chuck Norris has his face on toilet paper, I don’t know why that doesn’t disturb you wingnut people, although perhaps you utilize that in the smallest room in your house.

  2. Frances says:

    OK. First off, the Obamas are not dogs. Second off they are Christians and are celebrating Christmas in much the same way as other Christian Americans. Sheesh.

    Give the guy a break. Oops. I forgot. The people saying these things are tee-total freaking fruitcake-soaked-in-bourbon cheese-off-their-crackers batshit-crazy nuts.

  3. Anomaly100 says:

    Let’s give in for a moment & tell the wingnuts, they’re right. He’s a Muslim. So what! Who cares? The first amendment speaks about this. It’s translated differently by each party, but one thing we can agree on is that we are supposed to be free enough to be any religion,or non-religion and even Scientology if we so choose. Who cares what religion he’s classified as.

    I think you are reading the first amendment through your socialist/marxist/fascist/communist glasses….:)

    Regardless,it is a time of year to enjoy the spirit of Christmas with friends and family. It is a time when the best of us comes to the front and shares a moment,a gift or even a thought.

    Merry Christmas everyone and peace on earth to women and men of good will.

  8. Melody Brynne says:

    Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everyone! Mario, Thanks for this site! You Rock! Janine, have a great time at your parents!

  9. What I like best about this bit of nonsense is that it hits the wingnut trifecta: Chairman Mao (Obama’s an undercover commie who doesn’t worry about blowing his cover apparently); transvestism (culture war, homosexual agenda); and Obama on Mount Rushmore (Obama’s alleged uber-arrogance). The only thing missing is some ornament decoupaged with Obama’s “real” Kenyan birth certificate.
