http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-cchristmas13dec13,0,4364867.story?coll=sfla-home-headlinesThis is basically another piece of the same Christmas-as-a-weapon story that has been evolving for a week. A tiny 35 person "protest" gets ink. Not sure what to make of this part:
Inside Broward Mall on Sunday, a menorah stood next to the customer service area. General Manager Karl Woodard said it's against mall policy to display religious symbols such as Nativity scenes. But the menorah doesn't violate the policy because "it's a celebration of a battle," not a religious event, he said. "But I'm not Jewish, so I really don't know a lot about it," he added. The poor guy really ought to have a better answer than that but I think it is a shame that Christmas has become a political football thanks to as usual:
Organizers handed out copies of a column by conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly that claimed Christmas is "under siege by the growing forces of secularism in America."
