DU This Poll!! Regarding TN Mayor's racist comments on his

Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 11:58 AM by Thickasabrick

Facebook page. Scroll down and see poll on left. Thanks

Edit: Added more details

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/dec/05/good-grief-remarks-fuel-internet-firestorm/

More on his comments here:

"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."

"A Charlie Brown Christmas," which first aired in 1965, has become an endearing program for many because of its emphasis on the "real meaning of Christmas," including Linus' memorable reading from the Gospel of Luke of Jesus' birth.

In Wiseman's extensive thread that attacked the president, his supporters and Muslims, he stated "...you obama people need to move to a muslim country...oh wait, that's America....pitiful."

At another point he said, "you know, our forefathers had it written in the original Constitution that ONLY property owners could vote, if that has stayed in there, things would be different........"

He's missing the days where only property owners can vote??

4. I don't vote any differently since buying property. However....

... if some of the folks in my Democratic Party had their way and were unopposed, I'd have to find another party. Part of what enables me to vote so loyally Democratic is the check built into the population. I am not alone in this. The majority of Democrats would not vote to tax the shit out of themselves as some here on DU appear to think is a good idea.

6. I always wondered about the Linus thing.

Aren't Linus, Lucy, and Rerun Jewish?

I know it is a Christmas special, and in that spirit one's personal belief system may take a back seat to a performance, but I still think it is a little ironic that they picked Linus.

10. They're not Jewish.

I don't think any of the Peanuts characters are.

11. Gosh, Wiseman embodies the warmth of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Sorry that someone with a good heart such as his had to miss it.

".....oh that we could only see such spirit through the year....."
