Conor Friedersdorf frets at The Atlantic that Breitbart News deserves a lump of coal for its “naughty, not nice” line of “Deplorable Christmas” merchandise.
From The Atlantic:
Surveying America back in 2013, I concluded that “Christmas Is Kicking Ass in the War on Christmas,” noting the open-air Nativity scenes in the secular progressive enclave of Santa Monica; the 76-foot Christmas tree uncontroversially erected in the heart of New York City; the choir publicly singing “Happy birthday, Jesus!
