Tenn. mayor claims Obama blocked 'Peanuts' special

Friday, December 4, 2009


(12-04) 11:04 PST Arlington, Tenn. (AP) --

The mayor of a suburban Memphis city accused President Barack Obama of deliberately timing his speech about the war in Afghanistan this week to block the airing of the "Peanuts" Christmas television special.

According to The Commercial Appeal, Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman posted the statements on his Facebook page and said the president is Muslim. Obama is Christian.

"We sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose," he wrote, according to the newspaper.

5. I do, too. As my friend who moved from Delaware said, "Bunch of red-state goobers."

And she moved away after nearly two years here. Said life had to be better somewhere else, anywhere else. She didn't like being without intelligent life forms in the neighborhood.

I was sorry to lose her since there are so few of us here in East Tennessee.

7. Well, there are two of us in ET, at least.

And more too, actually; my friends here are progressives.

"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."

"A Charlie Brown Christmas," which first aired in 1965, has become an endearing program for many because of its emphasis on the "real meaning of Christmas," including Linus' memorable reading from the Gospel of Luke of Jesus' birth.

In Wiseman's extensive thread that attacked the president, his supporters and Muslims, he stated "...you obama people need to move to a muslim country...oh wait, that's America....pitiful."

At another point he said, "you know, our forefathers had it written in the original Constitution that ONLY property owners could vote, if that has stayed in there, things would be different........"

When contacted Thursday, Wiseman declined to comment about his Facebook posts.

11. Wonder what his Rapture Ready username is

This particular bit of fundie insanity started there Tuesday night:

Part of me thinks this was planned. What - they couldn't interrupt the football game last night to show Obama, but a CHRISTMAS special where the TRUE MEANING of Christmas is told gets bumped? I find it highly coincidental.



Yep, makes me go hmmmmmmm too. "Never miss an opportunity to snub any traditional moral entity" seems to be the the MO of the day for many media outlets



Obama feels threatened by Charlie Brown. No more free speech for the Peanuts gang.



I think it was ALL PLANNED....
Charlie Brown Special Talks about the REAL MEANING ABOUT CHRISTMAS,

And Muslim Obama & His EVIL CROONIES definetly didn't want that Message Out..

This EVIL Demon City (dc) White House, Has an Agenda alright......
And it isn't Good Folks....

12. What an ignoramus.

While Boosh proved anyone can be President, this clown proved anyone can be Mayor.

[onehandle]

13. Ha ha! Obama blocked Peanuts.

I for one, am happy that Obama went out of his way to ruin their night.

That's why I voted for Obama. To ruin the night for some piss-ant Mayor's family.

You can resign now Mr. President. Your job is done.

14. It's even better.....here is more ofhis comments...I kid you not.

24. Wingnuts have always been technophobes.

This clown is probably still trying to master his eight-track player.

22. Apparently he doesn't understand timezones either.

When the president speaks live at 8pmET it isn't that same time in the other three time zones. Here we had Jeopardy interrupted, I'm guessing on the west it was news. Poor guy ignorant fellow, then we wonder why gov't doesn't work.

25. Ooh, a War on Peanuts!

Escalate the War on Christmas by invading Peanuts! ;-)
