Thanks for your ignorant and insensitive reply. It reveals a lot about you.

You told the screener you didn’t want to go on the air.

It’s the screener’s job to find people who want to go on the air and are appropriate per the conversation at that time.

He hung up on you. That’s his job, not to waste time on people that aren’t going on the air.............

How about we don’t get all bent out of shape what other people say and instead wish back what holiday we celebrate.

If someone wishes you “Merry Christmas” say “Happy Haunneka” or “Merry Winter Solestice” or what ever back.

Sorry for your experiences.

But, in a nation in which 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas, odds are you would be OK, to wish strangers a Merry Christmas.

I’ve known a number of Jewish people who have wished me a Merry Christmas.

So are you offended at the mention of Christmas???

You’re not obliged to say ‘Merry Christmas.’

The issues concerns the coordinated attack on Christianity with the PC elimination of ‘Merry Christmas’ as one of the tactics.

Might as well tell a Buddhist or a Sikh "Merry Christmas".

I have worked with Buddhists, Sikhs and Hindus for years. Not one of them has ever taken offense when I wish them a Merry Christmas.

Nor do I take offense when a Hindu wishes me Happy Diwali.

With all due respect, the call screener is at work.

He is not an intermediary between the host and his listeners. If you had no intention of going on the show, you had no business calling, and rude or not - the guy was working. If he conversed with every person that just wanted a chat, he’d never get anything done. Its a high paced, high pressure environment.

You might as well go through a McDonald’s drive through and make a complaint. Maybe an email would have been a better idea?

As soon as I said I didn’t even need to go on the air, I just wanted him to be aware of my opinion,

*****************

I suspect that was the reason they hung up on you. If they have on air call in guest then
that is the purpose of the screen callers. If you don’t want on the air why spend time
listening to you?

Christmas is a US Holiday commmerorating the birth of a great person, Jesus Christ. It is not a Holiday commemorating a Jew Holiday, or Muslim Holiday, or any other Holiday.

Like the Holidays we have for Columbus, Lincoln, Washington, Martin Luther King etc., Christmas is a day that celebrates CHrist’s birth. Therefore, I fail to see why depictions of his birth in public places is wrong.

Saying Merry Christmas is just that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

You accept the greeting gracefully, and you don't whine about it.

I have a Muslim friend that wished me a Happy Ramadan and send me Easter greetings complete with a cross.

I appreciate the courtesy of the greeting and I will not return it with a snarky response.

I second the Merry Christmas BTW...

I have Jewish friends who tell me “Happy Hanukkah” and I thank them.

My parents raised me to take such greetings as a compliment because people were being kind enough to say such nice things.

For you, I hope you have a Happy Hanukkah and from me...Merry Christmas.

How am I to know you are Jewish?.................

The word “Christmas” should offend you no more than the word “Hanukkah” does me. That is to say, not at all.

I can’t believe that you posted this waste of time, like anyone cares if you’re offended by someone saying Merry Christmas. Get a friggin’ life.
