Sending Religious Christmas Cards Like Sending Mel Gibson A Hanukkah Card [Joy Behar-The View]

Joy Behar on The View says that if she were Jewish, sending her a religious-​themed Christmas card would be like sending Mel Gibson a Hanukkah card. Then, Sherri Shepherd offensively, I think, tells Barbara Walters, who’s Jewish, that she prays for her, as if Walters needs it?

Joy Behar is an Italian-American who was raised Catholic in Brooklyn. Her ex, Joe Behar, is Jewish

I don’t mind getting Hanukkah cards. It shows the sender is thinking of you and wishes you well. What’s the big deal?

I'd bet he wouldn't take offense at all. I certainly wouldn't. I would be happy that somebody considered me in their "well-wishes".

Why do people have to be such a**holes all the time?

[GOPJ]

I pray for people who are excessively thin-skinned.

This witch loves to play the victim card.

If somebody sent me a hanukkah card, I would think, "Oh, it hanukkah and somebody sent me a card. How nice."

Why the hell would weirdos like Joy Behar tie their testicles in a knot and perceive some insult.

Boy, is that snarly shrew inappropriately named. I guess it's like calling the fattest guy you know "Tiny."

I don't understand why anyone would send a Christmas card to a Jewish person in the first place. That's why they have Hannukah cards, and those generic "Holiday Greetings" cards.

Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, there's nothing "generic" about it. All the rest of the hoopla comes to us courtesy of Your Friendly Merchants Association...

I've noticed over the years that my non-Christian (Jewish and Hindu) colleagues are much more apt to say “Merry Christmas” than the supposed “Christian” ones do. The “Christian” ones blurt out “Happy Holidays”. I used to correct them, but I stopped because it's like talking to dryer lint.

And I have exchanged Christmas/Hannukah presents with Jewish folks; no problems at all.

I wonder....my tv might accidentally be on where I happen to hear it. The View is on and Ms. Boarhog says something I do not like. That would be inappropriate on her part don’t you think? A card is sent because they are thinking of someone else. There is absolutely no joy in Joy.

why would Mel Gibson object to a card celebrating a Maccabean historical legend?

Mel could probably do a great script about the Maccabees and what they became and what they did to fellow Jews.

In fact, Alexander Jannaeus might just be Mel Gibson’s kind of guy .... nasty temper and all

[posterchild]

As a catholic I’d be happy to receive a hanukkah card and wouldn’t bother sending anyone a generic non themed card.

A jewish self described ‘progressive’ invites me to her very nice Seder dinner every year. I go, have a good time, and thank her for not dumbing it down to a mere ‘holiday’ party.

[Verginius Rufus]

Hanukkah is mentioned in the New Testament, as the feast of the Dedication (John 10.22). In fact it is noted that "it was winter."

If Jesus observed Hanukkah I don't see why it would be a problem for his followers.

What’s the big deal?

That's what I say

[NonValueAdded]

The title is misleading and an example of removing context from someone’s remarks. Not that I have one whit of care for “why would anybody name her Joy” Behar, but fair is fair.

[fight_truth_decay]

Shepherd did say she wrote Happy Hannukah on her family designed Christmas cards to her Jewish friends. In the video Walters was gracious over the gift of a card with blessing.

Sending Christmas cards in mass is also not an inexpensive gift these days.

Joy always seems to have a stick up...a real Shmendrik.

Then, Sherri Shepherd offensively, I think, tells Barbara Walters, who’s Jewish, that she prays for her, as if Walters needs it?

Everyone needs prayer. Even Christ asked for prayers in Gethsemane.

[Ditter]

I am a Christian and a Hanukkah card would certainly not offend me anymore than a Santa Claus card does. I am not offended by, but am a little tired of, pictures of other peoples grandchildren. That seems to be something that my friends are doing now. I don't know their grandchildren, most of the time I don't even know their grown children. I would never say this to anyone of them, I just vent on FR.

I reply back to the store person..Merry Christmas in response, and often they will correct themselves; as think they are told what to say to customers. After all, I am buying a Christmas Present[s].
