The National Jewish Democratic Council is unhappy with the furniture at the Republican National Convention. "It is the very height of insensitivity for the Republican Party to feature a cross at the center of the podium of this convention, for the duration of the opening night of the convention," said National Jewish Democratic Council Executive Director Ira N. Forman. "This wooden cross must be at least three feet tall, and it sends a signal of exclusivity loudly and clearly."
The Republicans have done some awfully stupid things over the years (stupidity transcends party lines) but I seriously doubt this is one of them. Some people are looking for opportunities to be victims and if offences aren't obvious they look harder -- a lot harder. For some people victimization creates identity, significance, and purpose.
