Salvation Army bell ringer gets assaulted for saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."

Courtesy of WCPO Cincinnati:

Some might call it the “December Debate.” Do you greet people with “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays?" An Arizona woman, who’s also a bell ringer for the Salvation Army, says she was assaulted for choosing the wrong one.

Kristina Vindiola says a woman hit her outside a Phoenix Walmart after she said "Happy Holidays."

"The lady looked at me,” said Vindiola. “I thought she was going to put money in the kettle. She came up to me and said, 'Do you believe in God?' And she says, ‘You're supposed to say Merry Christmas,' and that's when she hit me."

Vindiola says the woman hit her in the arm and then went inside the store.

WTF? Since when did the Republican "War on Inclusive Christmas" turn physical?

And what kind of a self identified Christian thinks it is okay to strike another human being simply for demonstrating religious tolerance? Do these people have any understanding of Jesus whatsoever?

That lady should take legal action. And she is.

....the bell ringer who said she was assaulted now plans to take legal action.

"She should've just been happy I said 'Happy Holidays,' but I got hit because I didn't say 'Merry Christmas,'" Vindiola said.

Good for her!

Now if we can just find some way to make this Sarah Palin's fault.
