TN mayor blames ‘Muslim’ Obama for Peanuts Christmas pre-empt
The mayor of Arlington, Tennessee, believes he knows exactly why President Barack Obama chose last Tuesday night to announce his Afghanistan troop surge: It was a nefarious plot by the "Muslim" president to pre-empt that night's broadcast of A Charlie Brown Christmas.Russell Wiseman, mayor of Memphis suburb Arlington, suggested in a Facebook posting that Obama wanted to obscure the traditional Christmas TV special's Christian message. And in what the Memphis Commercial Appeal described as "an extensive thread that attacked the president," Wiseman also said that Obama supporters "need to move to a Muslim country ... oh wait, that's America ... pitiful."
This is how the Commercial Appeal transcribed Wiseman's Facebook posting, which is accessible only to the mayor's Facebook friends:
Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim [sic] 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'...................
and from the commercial appeal itself (geeze, i wonder what this means massa):
Arlington mayor fires at Obama online
Tags president as a Muslim on Facebook
............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........".....
(of course SLAVES were never property owners were they?????????)

This guy would have bought the pink aluminum christmas tree.
did i miss the part where charlie brown and jesus went out for a beer in the peanuts special, stray? i think i must have missed that part
I had not heard this until now! Unreal. This has to be a satire! An Onion story.....right?? RIGHT??!
no lemmy it's real.
Well, no beers, no, but the crux of the plot is the tension between Christmas as a spiritual event and Christmas as a capitalist free-for-all. And the setting is preparations for a Nativity play, so Linus does put a towel on his head and recite Luke. So...we can't fault Bugnuts for that part of his argument.
What we can fault him for is his assumption that the Obama Administration pays any attention whatever to what's on tv in Arlington, TN.
does he (bugnuts) know there may just MAY be a lesbian character in peanuts? don't know if schultz designed her that way, but i always saw her that way. i know what schultz was saying about christmas and i agree in my OWN way of course. however, if i loved it so very much i'd make sure the 10.99 video was in my collection so my family could watch it ANY time they wanted
does he (bugnuts) know there may just MAY be a lesbian character in peanuts?
Probably not. But then there's no Christianity without Plato, either, and look where that leads...
uh oh..........
and what's WORSE is, just as i was waking up this morning, npr (i think it was bbc on npr) announced those wild and wacky anglicans have elected a LESBIAN bishop. uh oh is right
