RW blog campaign: Sending Christmas card to the ACLU
((this story reminds me to renew my dues to the ACLU; they sent me a renewal notice, but I had forgotten.))

THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS: MUSCLEHEADS FIGHT BACK!

1:40pm EST
WAR ON CHRISTMAS: MUSCLEHEADS FIGHT BACK: With kindness of all things...

We are excited to be launching the opportunity today...between now and Christmas we are asking you to send the ACLU direct "MerryChristmas" cards.

And we aren't talking about these generic "happy holiday" (meaning nothing) type of cards...

Go get as "Christmas" a Christmas card as you can find... something that says.. "Joy To The World", "For Unto Us A Child Is Born", but at least "Merry Christmas", put some of your own thoughts into it, sign it respectfully and zip it off in the mail to

ACLU
"Wishing You Merry Christmas"
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10004

On a side note we are developing an E-Card that you will also be able to send. BUT there will be no effect like actually sending a physical card to the office. MuscleHead guidelines apply - please be kind, even cheerful in sending the card. Trust me - kindness will produce more smoke out of their ears than anything untoward you could think of anyway...

UPDATE 12/2: If you are finding this blog entry via a permalink you may miss the continuing coverage of the growing number of blogs in the fight. CLICK HERE for full access to the on-going story. If you are a blog helping get out the word, consider also publishing an e-blast to your own list. Whether you point them to your own posts about the matter or whether you bring them here doesn't matter - the point is we just need as many people as possible to be sending cards. You can also officially join the "Merry Christmas ACLU Network" by clicking here.

1. This is probably a Hallmark front site...
and a brilliant way to exploit the weak-minded.

13. Expect a follow up
If they follow their usual tactic they'll do the following:
  1. Get a publicized campaign to send religious Christmas cards
  2. Work a deal to mass buy a few million cards
  3. Announce in January that the American Public wants "Christmas" because, thanks to their calling attention to the problem, sales of "Christian" cards were WAY up and much higher than the evil ACLU/Liberal/Jewish "Happy Holiday" cards
  4. Use their astroturfed numbers to fund raise
  5. Use those astroturf numbers to lobby Congress with lobbiests paid for by the funds raised

3. Sure ACLU Loves The Love. FR/RW Hate The Hate.
Got to be one of the funniest things going. FR/RW really believe (orginally wrote 'think' but these types don't) ACLU stands against anything. ACLU stands FOR many things.

FR/RW always stand against so much and must use scapegoats to keep the hate moving.

Laughter is the only response.


Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

6. Or better yet . . .
Let's send these faux Chistians a card that reads:

"MERRY CHRISTMAS - try reading the Sermon on the Mount"

10. The ACLU is not anti-Christmas at all
but these folks believe it is. How ignorant and silly!!!! The good thing is that the money spent on the Xmas cards WON'T be going to any RW causes.
