[quote="Saucy Stringer"][quote="Re Post?"][quote="Saucy Stringer"]I think the charge of anti-semitism is ridiculous and I have absoluetly no idea how you came to that conclusion. The post was intended to poke fun at the ridiculousness of the debate, in particular the arguments against the Menorah, such as "it doesn't belong next to the Christmas tree" and "blue Christmas tree lights represent Jewish people". That said, I offer my apologies to anyone who found my post to be antisemitic. That was certainly not my intention.[/quote] Many of us did not see the post. Can you repost it?[/quote] This is a privately owned site. While I did not intend to offend anyone, I respect the fact that the owner has the right to remove a post that they personally find offensive. So, I do not plan to enter a posting-contest with the site's owner. That said, I think the owner should re-read my post and have the integrity to clarify that the post was NOT antisemitic.[/quote]

It doesn't overpower the Christmas tree??? Not sure what you're looking at, but the Menorah is huge in comparison to the tree so in my mind that's overpowering. Guess next year we need at 10' tall tree to balance it out... anyone up for donating it?
I don't think you are anti-semitic, just delusional. I just drove by the park. There are not one but 3 wonderfully lit Christmas trees. The menorah's two lights are burning bright. No rational individual could claim that menorah is overpowering. I don't know what your obsession with size is overcompensating for, but trust me the Christmas trees are not being overpowered.

It's NOT mentioned in ANY Hebrew texts.
"Hey, we only have enough oil for one night".
"No.......wait a minute we found some more back here behind the olives".
"We should be okay for a few more days".
joe, I didn't realize you were scholar of Hebrew texts. I guess you really do learn something new every day.

And Christmas isn't the actual birth of Christ either.

Ever wonder how nice it must be to do what ever you want and if someone didn't agree it must be anti-semitism. The holiday candle display could have been alittle small and not as bright. What was the need to overpower our holiday tree? Was it a sign of anti-christian ? An attack on christians?
It doesn't overpower the christmas tree. Lighten up Francis.

Let me get this straight, an offensive post was removed. You would like it reposted. My you are a class act.
Nope. It's still here in a different thread:

That attempt at satire was not funny and there was an underlying tone of anti-semitism.
Humor is a matter of opinion, but anti-semitism is a pretty strong charge to levy. Care to explain that one?

I don't know if it is anti-semitic, but making fun of those who have the guts to speak out at a public meeting in an anonymous post is cowardly at best.
An anonymous post slamming the practice of anonymous posting-
now that is pure comic genius!
You were kidding, weren't you?
