Today, we’re gonna look at an older example of Andrew Dobson’s hypocrisy, but still a good one.

Dobson is somewhat notorious for hating both Halloween and Christmas, probably due to the facet that it’s a happy time for a lot of people and he’s a miserable fuck, among other reasons. So of course he would want to comment on the whole “saying Merry Christmas” controversy that comes up every year to a certain degree.

Now I bring this specific comic up for a reason, specifically the Hanukkah focus Dobson makes. You see, before this comic was made, Dobson had himself a Jewish girlfriend that invited him to spend the holidays with her family, as him was unable to go home for Christmas that year. Why do I mention she was Jewish? Let me answer that with Dobson’s own words.

Aside from Dobson’s need to take immediate offense to anyone questioning him and his condescending attitude, you’ll notice he puts more focus on himself feeling bad about Christmas than thankfulness for his girlfriend’s family inviting him to celebrate with them: much more offensive than saying “Merry Christmas” to somebody.

My 2009 playlist, although most aren’t from 2009, just songs I’ve loved this year.

I happened to remember this ask from neat the beginning of this blog, and while I still can’t seem to track down the original, I did manage to find more giraffe pics from that day.
