Think Progress: Conservatives Attack Health Bill Passage As A ‘Gift That Keeps On Taking,’ Threaten To Take Down X-Mas Tree

TPM: Not Knowing What Else To Do, Health Reform Foe Takes Down Christmas Tree (AUDIO)

No, this is not an Onion story. On C-SPAN's call in show this morning, a woman named Bunny from Parsons, Kansas, said she was so disappointed by the Senate's health care vote that she took down her Christmas tree. And it seems like her call was not a prank.

It wasn't just Bunny's tree that went. "I have taken my Christmas wreath off my house. I have taken all the lights down," she said. "This is supposed to be a nation under God, and it isn't. They absolutely have ruined Christmas."

You can see C-SPAN host Peter Slen, no doubt trained to deal with the occasional eccentric caller, cock his head ever so slightly as Bunny breaks the news.

"So you took down your Christmas tree because of the Senate health care bill?" he asks, with a hint of incredulity.

:rofl:

2. Doom, dispair and agony on me.

I will miss Bunny's Christmas tree.

I would feel bad for her dispair, except I lived with it for eight long years under Bush.

Quote from Dawn Davenport in ´Female Trouble:´ ¨Fuck you, fuck you both, you horrible people. You´re not my real parents anyway. I hate you, I hate this house, and I hate Christmas.¨

4. When people like that are outraged, it is a sign that something is going right.

What a bunch of fucking cave men they have in those tea bag parties.

5. Shooting Santa is probably next on their list.

Someone call Bill O'Rielly. They've declared war on Christmas!

7. Wow!

Bunny seems a little, um, upset. And all this time I thought the US was one nation under a groove, gettin' down just for the funk of it.

Live and learn. B-)

I have a feeling this isn't about HCR. I bet the caller thinks Obama is a Muslim-and she wants her country back. :rofl:
