Thom Hartmann vs. Bryan Fischer: Using Jesus for profit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm3yYDmc4-M

Thom Hartmann debates Bryan Fischer, Director of Issue Analysis, American Family Association / Host of Focal Point radio program on AFR Talk network, over the use of Jesus Christ to promote commercialism.

Comments:
- Fischer never bothered to address Hartmann's question about commercializing Christmas and couldn't really come up with response to Hartmann citing how Jesus said "feed the hungry" et al.
- Thom repeatedly called it blasphemy for companies to use Christmas for sales.
- I originally wanted to post this on political videos but due to the content of this interview decided to post this video here instead.
- 6:00 mark: Fischer's weak answer was that companies that used "holidays" instead of "Christmas" were being anti-Christian but still wouldn't answer the tough question.

2. AFA has no problem using Jesus to promote their own profit
Apparently it's only a problem when Jesus is used to promote somebody else's profit.
