Rabi Gets a Bad Rap

Rabi Elazar Bogomilsky only wanted to add a Menorah amongst all the Christmas tree at the Seattle-Tacoma airport, not abolish them. I like others listened to the MSM weave a story of a anti-Christian Rabi wanting to rid the airport of it's Christmas Trees because he couldn't get a Menorah added to the display.

But that is not the real story.

The Rabi requested that a Menorah, just 1 Menorah among 15 Christmas Trees, to be displayed where ever the airport authorities wanted it set up. For two months the wimpy hand-wringers hemmed and hawed until Rabi Bogomilsky forced their hand by threatening a federal lawsuit.

And what did the authorities do? They ruined Christmas for all travelers through their airport by taking down all the Christmas trees, instead of adding a Menorah, the symbol of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

Unbelievable!

I saw the Rabi last night on O'Reilly, and you can read the real story from Michael Medved. Hanukkah is as much a winter religious holiday as Christmas is, why shouldn't it's symbols be displayed publicly? The Rabi's intent was never to ban the Christmas trees, in fact he is upset that they took them down, but the airport authorities acting like neutered Liberals, ruined it for all.

Poor Rabi Bogomilsky is catching hell from all over the nation, because the MSM distorted the truth, and the airport is ran by wimps.

Stick to your gun Rabi, because this is the Christmas and Hanukkah season, and Jews have as much right to display the Menorah as we have to have Nativity Scenes and Christmas Trees.


[Update]
The trees are back up, because Rabi Bogomilsky withdrew the his idea of a lawsuit. And again the MSM distorts the story:
Port officials said the rabbi's lawyer had threatened to imminently file a lawsuit, leaving them with insufficient time to consider all the issues.

And again they are making the Rabi out to be the bad guy. The truth is that the Port officials had 2 months to consider the issue, and did nothing, until the Rabi's lawyer informed them that they may sue.

Not only are the Port officials neutered wimps, but they are multi-cultural idiots:
Port spokesman Bob Parker said "we look forward to sitting down after the first of the year with not only Rabbi Bogomilsky but others as well, and finding ways to make sure there's an appropriate winter holiday representation for all faiths. We want to find out a way to celebrate the winter holidays that is sensitive to all faiths."

Time out you flaming wanker, there only 2, as in 1 plus 1 = 2, recognized religions that have 'winter holidays' and they are Christianity and Judaism, so who else are you going sit down with? Followers of the fake holiday Kwanzaa? Pagans? Buddhists don't have one, Hindus don't, Muslims don't and Sikhs don't have one. 'Tolerance' and 'Multiculturalism' are ruining this country, because they highlight our differences instead of bringing us together.

I hope the Port officials get coal in their stockings for Christmas, better yet, I hope they get Taco Bell onions in their stockings!
