It's comedy gold.

Here's one of my fave comments, left by a shopper:

...it will be wise and prudent shoppers who honor Christ as the reason for Christmas and will choose to not spend their money where Christ is not welcomed.

Praise be the All Mighty Dollar! LMAO!!

Yeah, that whole "No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service" thing was always a bitch for Christ.

That site makes me ill.

I can't say I'm fond of it, but to me it isn't all that different from the sites listing businesses where people donated to Yes on 8 so that they could be boycotted. Or the similar lists that popped up after 2000 so that "blue" businesses could be supported over red. Just part of the societal fracturing supported by the idea that it is good to only interact with like minded people.

Sure, whether greeters at a store say "Christmas" or "Holidays" isn't important to me, but lot's of people care very passionately about things I find ludicrous. Wonder how they feel about Disney's The Princess and the Frog posters that say the movie is opening "Holiday 2009". That doesn't even make grammatical sense in its contortions. Also December 8 is not a holiday so far as I know.

I'd argue that there's a big difference between "this business cut a check to help a discriminatory law pass" and this:

Was wished a Happy Hanukkah as I left the store. When I stopped and explained I was Christian, the lady at the counter told me 'Happy Holidays!' This was very offensive!

I didn't have to go far to find this quote - clicked the first retailer and it was the 3rd one that caught my eye (because I'm a dirty Jew, no doubt.)

I found 3 tacitly anti semitic posts within about 30 seconds after I clicked ("The font used was suspiciously blue...").

If someone calls you Christian and you stop to point out you're Jewish is that being hateful?

In the comment you posted, I would guess the "very offensive" comment was aimed at the individual being told "Happy Holidays". That seems to set these people off.
