Happy Holidays.Oh LOOKY LOO at who’s ashamed of America’s noble Judeo-Christian heritage! A very suspicious email message went out from the Republican National Committee on Christmas Day, wishing everyone “happy holidays.” This failure to mention Xmas is a direct affront to the baby Jesus and his father, Santa Claus.

Dear Friend,

After a difficult year in our nation’s capital and an especially challenging year across the country, we come together amongst family and friends to celebrate this very special time of year. It is a time of hope and joy – a time to give thanks for the many blessings that surround us every day.

Let us keep in our thoughts and prayers the brave men and women in uniform – especially those far from home, separated from friends and family by the call of duty. Who in this moment serve to defend our hard-won freedoms. We honor their sacrifices and pray for their safe return.

Let us reflect on our hopes, our dreams, and the goodwill we can extend to others as we prepare for another great year ahead.

May the spirit of the season be with you today and throughout the New Year.

Wishing you and your loved ones safe and happy holidays,

The Republican National Committee

Thanks to our many heathen commenters who fowarded us this message on Christmas Day when they should have been doing something religiously meaningful, like eating ham.

Godless terrorists! Sucking up to the neocons a week after Hanukkah.

The RNC is secretly in the tank for Moses. They all snuck out of the house Christmas afternoon to grab some chinese and then go see “Avatar” (which has major roles for non-christians).

Ack! War on Christmas plus Michelle Malkin’s fugly mug to start my new week. Green Balloon, Green Balloon!!!

McDuff December 28, 2009 at 10:02 am

Why the freak is Michelle Malkin staring at me from the pages of Wonkette? It’s creeping me out!

ManchuCandidate December 28, 2009 at 10:03 am

Jeebus weeps.

The RNC don’t mention Santa Claus because they don’t believe that a well dressed (for the season) fat white guy/factory owner should give anything away for free.

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 28, 2009 at 10:03 am

Only 362 shopping days until Christmas!

“Who in this moment serve to defend our hard-won freedoms.”

Not much of a sentence there. Was that supposed to have a “?” at the end?

germansteel December 28, 2009 at 10:10 am

Could have been written by a Nigerian underwear bomber, for all the “real meaning of the season” that you can glean from that.

SlouchingTowardsWasilla December 28, 2009 at 10:13 am

I’m impressed that one of those paragraphs had three sentences.

El Pinche December 28, 2009 at 10:15 am

In other words, Yo Yo, wassup homies! Happy Kwanza, Salam Malakim whitey!

The RNC done fucked up.

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 28, 2009 at 10:16 am

@SlouchingTowardsWasilla: Risky, given the target audience.

x111e7thst December 28, 2009 at 10:18 am

We honor their sacrifices and pray for their safe return.” Mmmmmm. Not so much actually.
I did however bake a bunch of ginger snaps and send them to some buddies who are doing their nth tour in Iraq. Because I’m a godless atheist who hates our freedumbs.

Prommie December 28, 2009 at 10:18 am

[re=485446]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: Its this fuck-tard reverence for the word “serve” that makes them misuse it like that. Nobody “fights” anymore, because thats all nasty, I guess, and usually results in children blowing up and burning up, so instead of fighting, they are all serving now. The new euphemism, with its echos of the eucharist, too, it sounds religious, doesn’t it?

finallyhappy December 28, 2009 at 10:21 am

Well, they could have gone with Merry Christmas since 78% of Jews voted for Obama . I’m not sure on Moslems or Wiccans but I could guess.

ChernobylSoup v2 December 28, 2009 at 10:36 am

[re=485456]Prommie[/re]: Yes. It follows the general arc of the apotheosis of the American serviceman we’ve seen post-Vietnam. I don’t think it’s such a great thing.

Neilist December 28, 2009 at 10:43 am

Ah, Wonkette. Every time I see Ms. Malkin’s lovely face, I am wafted back to the Golden Days of My Youth.

Just outside of Subic, over the fragant Shit River into bustling ‘Po City. The Magic of the East. The musical birdsong voices: “Hey, GI! Me love you long time! Boom Boom! Two dollar!”

The watered-down tea that we bought those “Michelles” in lieu of the bar “whisky.” The beady-eyed, no front teeth Australian “club owners,” whom even the Green Beanies tried not to piss off.

And of course, the “Competitive Ping-Pong.”

Good times. Good times.

But we’ll never again hear the cry “Boom Boom! Two dollar!” No even with globalization.

:::Sigh:::

thesheriffisnear December 28, 2009 at 10:44 am

I’m trying to figure out what Madame Nhu has to do with the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas and a self-hating gay guy, also.

thesheriffisnear December 28, 2009 at 10:49 am

[re=485464]Neilist[/re]: But what would Magsaysay say?

Neilist December 28, 2009 at 10:50 am

[re=485456]Prommie[/re]: Speaking of “serving,” as it were . . . .

Good times. Good times.

:::Sigh:::

[re=485461]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: That’s “servicePERSON,” you Sexist PIG!

On a slightly more serious note: I am reminded the following post-Vietnam exchange between a Liberal/Commie and a Vietnam veteran:

Q. (Liberal/Commie): Why were you fighting over there?

A. (Vietnam ServicePERSON): You tell me. YOU sent me.

When the same question is asked, by a limbless, burned, maimed veteran of The Great Sandbox, all you Wonkies can look the questioner right in the eye and say, “Got me. I was too busy blogging. FOR FREEDOM!”

(“Boom Boom! Two dollar!” :::Sigh::: Never again. And to add insult to injury: The camels are more attractive . . . .)

(Oh, and I know “Liberal/Commie” is redundant.)

Cicada December 28, 2009 at 10:50 am

[re=485446]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: You know who else cares about proper grammar? Nazis. Apparently these “grammar Nazis” are everywhere! The RNC is just reinforcing their image as staunch anti-socialist-communist-fascists.

Neilist December 28, 2009 at 10:54 am

[re=485470]thesheriffisnear[/re]: What would Magsaysay say?

“Get me off this POS war-surplus C-47″?

“Hey, is that engine on fire?”

“Tell Michelle I love her”?

Or maybe, “Ping pong, anyone?”

Katydid December 28, 2009 at 10:55 am

as we prepare for another great year ahead.

In which we will, without mercy, again bring the government to a crawl, and send our armed operatives out to threaten duly elected Democrat Congressmen and the Kenyan in the White House. Like we said, it was a great year.

Prommie December 28, 2009 at 10:58 am

[re=485475]Neilist[/re]: We sent them? Hmm, very interesting.

thesheriffisnear December 28, 2009 at 11:02 am

[re=485475]Neilist[/re]: Dude, you should go on the $10,000 Pyramid. You’d win! Or, should I say you’d Nguyen?

SayItWithWookies December 28, 2009 at 11:13 am

[re=485471]Neilist[/re]: Hey, I did my part to bring them home. Remember when John Hinckley was getting weekend furloughs from Saint E’s to visit his parents? Well someone kept sending him pictures of Jodie Foster. Probably never got to him, though.

Mr Blifil December 28, 2009 at 11:33 am

Fuck it now I really am taking down my tree. Seriously. I MEAN IT.

Way Cool Larry December 28, 2009 at 11:40 am

I refuse to comment on this until Michael Steele has made a statement on this obvious catastrophic mistake.

cogitoergodavesum December 28, 2009 at 11:41 am

[re=485443][re=485443]McDuff[/re]: And who Photoshopped a SMILE over her perpetual hate filled scowl?

Don't Mess with Joe December 28, 2009 at 12:20 pm

OK everyone. We know how to respond to this affront to our Founding Fathers, who were all Evangelical Christians according to History.

1) Give the RNC a bad rating on this website: http://standforchristmas.com/.

2) Next send a lot of something useless to the RNC RedState-style. Any ideas?

Snarkalicious December 28, 2009 at 12:57 pm

[re=485471]Neilist[/re]: Dude. If you want someone to give you Syph for two bucks, I can make that happen. Well, actually, the primary actor would be the city of Detroit.

S.Luggo December 28, 2009 at 12:58 pm

[re=485451]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: Two sentences and a freestanding dependent clause.
The rules of grammar are for socialists.

The Unfairman December 28, 2009 at 1:54 pm

The RNC is contradictory…I know, we’re all surprised, but here’s the proof!

“After a difficult year in our nation’s capital and an especially challenging year across the country…”

“…as we prepare for another great year ahead.”

Why does the RNC hate ‘Merka?

Vulpes82 December 28, 2009 at 2:01 pm

I always get a kick out of seeing old ads or TV shows or whatever from the “good old days” when the Whites were in charge instead of Socialist Kenyans that have “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Holidays” or “Holiday Greetings” instead of “Merry Christmas.” NObama is going back in time now to commit his War on Christmas!1!!!!

thesheriffisnear December 28, 2009 at 3:32 pm

9/11 is a verb December 28, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Jebus and Santa are going to be mad at the RNC (I’m sure they already aren’t thrilled that a “darkie” is the chairman

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 28, 2009 at 4:54 pm

This is such a devastating blow in the War on Christmas I am sure they can get O’Reilly to stop his vacation, and I look forward to all three blocks on “Why does the Republican Party hate America,” that he will do tonight.

Jim89048 December 28, 2009 at 7:36 pm

[re=485624]Vulpes82[/re]: That’s how he bacame a Hawaiian/American, so yeah–stick with what ya know…
