I like Santas with real bushy eyebrows and a real beard like this guy. What a lovely old man (who really does look like Santa!) and a cute little boy.

And....THIS:

"I just don't want him to think that all greatness comes from a different race," said Graves, 45. "There are Santa Clauses his color doing good work, too."

"To know we have something that's positive, wholesome and traditional," Price said. "This is a Santa that our children can relate to."

This is stuff ignorant-ass Megyn Kelly wouldn't begin to understand.

with the hidden motive of checking Santa out for themselves.

"Granny...uh...this is like the tenth time I've seen you today. Are you sure all of these kids are yours? Why was that last kid wearing a wedding ring? He looked a bit old.

Answer: He's young at heart. Can we talk about what I want for Christmas?

sock puppets are out in force, but a lot of those ignorant, racist, hateful comments are from people just happy to share their "wisdom." Fox and Rush, et al, have made these people proud to publicly state such illogical, reactionary trash.

I have lived a pretty long time and I swear, I still can't figure out why someone could hate another human being just because of the color of their skin. All I see are two beautiful human beings sitting there posing for a picture
that's going to bring allot of smiles to friends and family this Christmas.
