Remember, the most important thing to do at Christmas is to attack people who admit there's more than one religion.

Let's just pause to consider that said woman just punched a representative of the most visible, identifiable, and ubiquitous of the new-ish Christian sects for not being Christian-showoffy enough.

I see the volunteers as noncombatants in the war against the Salvation Army. They likely have no idea what the head office is doing with their donated time and are just trying to be good.

Wow- this vile person actually made me side with the Salvation Army for once (much as I loathe them, even I draw the line at punching bellringers. Their spokespeople and lying PR maybe)

Does anyone have a link for a good summary of the case against the salvation army? It's not one I'm familiar with.

Well, there's the Snopes summary (http://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/salvationarmy.asp). There's also plenty of discussion about it on the Snopes forum.

There's more to it than the one radio interview that Snopes page dissects.
