HOLY SHIT! Teh libaralz ar trying to get rid of teh christian symbol of the easter bunny!
To recap the story: three malls in the Palm Beach area are calling their seasonal varmints by names other than the Easter Bunny, so as to get all parents, not just the Christian ones, to bring the tikes to the mall to get some chocolate eggs and then buy a bunch of stuff from Toys 'R Us
The promo from the Fox News site:
Why is the "Easter bunny" under attack? You won't believe what some malls in Florida have planned less than two weeks before one of biggest day's on the Christian calendar. Ok, no, seriously. This is true. From the transcript:SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: You know something, David? Look, where is the tolerance on the left anymore? I mean, this is the Easter Bunny. This is about Bob's kids and my kids going to the mall. Are you really going to be hurt, are you really going to be offended by a mall identifying a bunny as the Easter Bunny? Is your faith shaken that deeply?
SILVERMAN: On a scale of one to ten, we're talking about a two. But on a scale of one to ten, the actual act of calling it something more neutral is nice to see. You know, it's nicer to see.
HANNITY: Should we remove the name of Jesus Christ from the public square totally?
SILVERMAN: We're talking about the Easter Bunny.
HANNITY: Take "In God We Trust" off U.S. coins, right? "One nation under God" out of the Pledge. We go back to the Declaration of Independence and say, "Endowed by our creator," out, too?
SILVERMAN: Absolutely not. We're talking about malls that are allowed to call the Easter Bunny anything they want. This is faaaaaaaaaaar nuttier than the Christmas is under attack bullshit that O'Reilly and his cohorts were spouting at the end of last year. At least that was about people "attacking" a Christian holiday... not that it's really very Christian anymore... and not that anyone was actually attacking it. But the EASTER BUNNY? The only relation he has to Easter is that his name includes the word, and in some homes he shows up on Easter to give the kids candy. He certainly has nothing at all to do with the resurrection of Jesus, that's for sure.
I mean damn, the idea of a Godman dying and being resurrected is very deeply rooted in Paganism, but the Easter Bunny is quadruply so.The rabbit is well known as a sexual symbol of fertility. In various parts of the world, religions which developed from Babel also associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar (Egypt, China, etc.). As you may remember, the Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the Moon. In other words, the Easter bunny symbolizes the Mother Goddess. Annual Spring time fertility rituals are associated worship of the Mother Goddess and Tammuz, the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod. In fact, many Christians think it's evil to do the whole bunny thing, because it's so Pagan and evil and... whatnot.
Finally, we hear from Rush:Rush concludes by saying, "But I bet this is happening all over the country: the banning of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs and this sort of thing." And if it is, it's undoubtedly the fault of the ACLU, Ward Churchill, and Hillary Clinton.
