HuffPost, a liberal news site, was lampooned after saying Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was “seriously problematic” over claims that it features sexism and bullying.
“Viewers are noticing the tale may not be so jolly after all,” the outlet’s video said. “And they’re sharing their observations online.”
Among those observations was the suggestion that the TV classic was a story about racism and homophobia, while calling Santa Claus abusive and bigoted.
“Yearly reminder that #Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a parable on racism & homophobia w/Santa as a bigoted exploitative prick,” read one comment shared by HuffPost. “Santa’s operation is an HR nightmare and in serious need of diversity and inclusion training. #Rudolph,” read another. ..."
President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. weighed in on the topic, tweeting “Liberalism is a disease.”
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” isn’t the first classic cartoon that was decried as problematic today.
Critics attacked ABC’s “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” which first aired in 1973, for seating its only black character, Franklin, alone on one side of the holiday table while all other white friends were seated on the other side.

Barrack, the Brown Nosed Reindeer
That is an interesting bit of history! A daydream put down on paper became joy for millions.
Democrats are scum.
Long ago I heard the great Barry Farber offer the perfect definition of a liberal, someone who loves humanity, but HATES people.
I still want a full length version of the night the reindeer died. With Lee Majors.
Lol
Seasons Greetings for Liberals and Conservatives
1. For Our Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best
wishes For an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of
the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your
choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or
traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all.
We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make America great.
Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in
the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed,
color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of
the wishee. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these
terms.
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies
no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and
is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual
application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the
issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and
warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new
wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
2. For Our Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
At the end of the Charlie Brown Christmas the whole gang leaves for Grandmas but they leave Snoopy home.
Grandma did not invite Snoopy?!!!
That triggered me!
FR frowns upon the language I originally chose to use here, so I will just say “F” people who think and talk like that. I seriously just want to slap them. The premise of the story is anti-bullying, anyhow.
It also clearly prophesied extreme weather events caused by global warming.
And it had a gay dentist elf struggling with his identity.
It was obviously far ahead of its time.
All clueless libs deserve coal in their stockings.
Better yet, shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Pretty much describes any SJW.
