Republicans open second front in war on Christmas

The “war on Christmas” meme took a new turn on Monday as Fox News and other Republicans attacked the Republican National Committee for throwing an annual “Holiday Party” instead of a “Christmas Party” this year.

News of the “holiday party” broke over the weekend. While some say it’s an attempt by the RNC to be more inclusive, Republicans pounced on their party for what some have called a new front in the war on Christmas.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, at a campaign appearance in Des Moines, Iowa on Monday, said the RNC’s party plans were the fault of liberals trying to destroy the Republican Party and establish a secularist, socialist nation.

“This is just the latest example of the liberal secularization of America and demonstrates just how much they hate anything to do with religion, especially Christianity. The fact that the RNC would join in this crime shows just how widespread the conspiracy to destroy religion is in this country,” Gingrich said. “Obviously, the liberals have infiltrated the RNC.”
