You Might Want to Rethink
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like KKKristmas!

Burning CrossNothing says Season's Greetings like a burning cross on your front lawn!

The American Family Association -- a hate group disguised as an ultra-right wing Christian organization -- wants to usher in the holiday spirit by selling this nearly six foot tall scary lookin' lighted cross. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

The evil '50s throwback is available on their website for just 82 hate-filled dollars "and requires only a screwdriver" to assemble.

1. I don't understand why a lighted Cross is hate-bearing..? You guys at TMZ are idiots.

2. I'm with Jesse. A beautiful decorated cross is full of hate? The only one that has a hate filled tirade is TMZ. God bless everyone and have a beautiful holiday season.

4. The cross is gorgeous and the organization is not a hate group.

5. It is post like this with underlying comments that really piss me off. There is not a damn thing wrong with a "lighted" cross on Thanksgiving or Christmas. If the cross were rather large and "on fire" then, you post might make a little sense.

If any of you at TMZ (Harvey), have a problem with a"cross" then simply don't buy one. The "star of David" does not offend me! All of you children at TMZ need to grow the hell up and go get education. Broaden you horizons.

6. Would a BIG FLAMING Star of David be better?
I agree with the others, you guys constantly are pushing the Yellow Journalism.

I agree with you, but I guess it could be offensive sitting on a lawn in some areas of the country.

9. Thanks for telling me where to buy one...................I just placed my order!

10. The ultimate sign of God's love for mankind is now a symbol of hate?

Oh, and I want to put a rainbow sticker on my car without it meaning that I'm gay.

11. I don't see this as hateful, just a little bit 'Grizwald'. Not vouching for the organization because I don't know them, but a lighted cross isn't hateful to me, and though the KKK might use it, it certainly doesn't automatically make a cross a KKK reference.

12. How much do you want to bet, the same racist who wrote the article about Beyonce being photoshopped to have lighter skin, wrote this worthless article. I wish Harvey would fire the bigot.

14. If the lights were green rather than white you never would have brought it up. What's the difference?

15. Come on! It looks like a burning cross. If you buy one, please paint the cross brown. No pun intended.
