"War on Christmas" Crowd Demand, Commercialize Christmas or else!!!

If retailers don't find a way to turn consumer products into the blessings of Christmas, the American Family Association wants to vilify and run them out of the marketplace.

If you thought the petting bickering by Republican candidates for president was ridiculous, see what conservative voters are spending their days fuming over. It isn't Scott Walker, government secrecy, money from billionaires, corruption, cronyism, jobs or health care, that's for sure:

American Family Association: Criteria - AFA reviewed up to four areas to determine if a company was "Christmas-friendly" in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website and/or personal visits to the store. If a company's ad has references to items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.), it was considered as an attempt to reach "Christmas" shoppers.

If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word "Christmas," then the company is considered as censoring "Christmas."

What seems like an incredible joke is an actual conservative Republican tea party distraction from the real issues their party refuses to solve. 

Isn't it time we all commercialize and exploit the spirit of Christmas gift giving with a little crass intimidation? 

Santa Claus is a Black Man....

Look out Fox News' Megyn Kelly....

Walker Fires Campaign Aide Promoting War on Christmas Gifts to Kids.

Just amazing. You no longer have to wonder what Scott Walker thinks about immigrants, or says about them around his office and private meetings. His aide spilled the beans.

This is what the administration's position is, based on racism and fear mongering. Maybe reporters should ask Walker why the people around him are saying such racist things. Keep in mind, these comments were made back in 2011. Her recent press release asking parent to forego their kids Christmas gifts for campaign donations was the real reason she was fired. This was Walker damage control, where he didn't want to have any part of what could and still might be...a GOP "war on Christmas." Forget about the two year old racism. Gawker:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), who's trying to generate buzz for a possible 2016 presidential run, had to fire a campaign aide today for her past racist Twitter rants against Latinos—the second such incident to rock Walker's administration since last summer.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Taylor Palmisano, Walker's deputy campaign finance director, was let go Tuesday after activists pointed out her old grumpy "fuck"-filled tweets about "illegal" people who were bothering her on the bus and in the library....

This was the second such firing since August, when another Walker aide—Steven Krieser, assistant deputy secretary of the Wisconsin department of transportation—lost his job after writing on Facebook that illegal immigrants were the spawn of Satan: 

[W]e get to be treated to the incredible chutzpah of hundreds of thousands of these criminals marching in the streets in broad daylight, demanding all the benefits of citizenship from a country whose laws they are breaking even as they are standing there. The illegals themselves have bred the animus that many American citizens feel toward them You may see Jesus when you look at them. I see Satan.

Walker's Toyless Christmas Wish.

Cognitive Dissidence got the scoop on this amazing un-Christmas like fundraising cheerlessness. We're not only seeing the ugly side of business, but what really matters to Republicans like Scott Walker; a toyless Christmas for kids.

First I thought it was bad when Walmart thought it would be a good idea to hold a food drive for their own employees instead of just paying them a living wage. Then McDonald's comes along and tells their employees to sell off their Christmas gifts so that they can pay their bills. Walker's campaign sent out a fundraising email on Friday that really takes the cake (emphasis mine):

 I've highlighted the warm fuzzy holiday messages from Scott Walker. How did he know my kids wanted lower taxes as adults:
