On December 2, 2009, the mayor of Arlington, TN, Russell Wiseman claimed President Obama purposely preempted the Charlie Brown Christmas special with his scheduled Afghanistan War speech.

This is what the Mayor posted on his now defunct Facebook account:

"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."

He also posted this:

"...you obama people need to move to a muslim country...oh wait, that's America....pitiful."

Yeah... its all about Wiseman and his family, the President has it in for them and won again by preempting his favorite Christmas show. Wiseman just another right wing Christian nut but the problem is this ... he was elected as mayor so there are many who believe as he does.

If the TV show is that important to him he can go buy a DVD of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and quit complaining. The Afghanistan War is more important than a TV show but in his warped world, complaining about and hating Obama preempts everything.

Wiseman wisely refused to answer questions about his post and removed his Facebook account but someone added a group called, “Support Russell Wiseman”. The ignorance and dumbness never ends. But, it's their right to be that way.

There is also an opposing Facebook group called: Tell Russell Wiseman to Respect Charlie Brown and our President.
