What is Purim about exactly? Wikipedia explains,
Purim (Hebrew: פורים Pûrîm "lots", related to Akkadian pūru) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them, as recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Esther). According to the story, Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to exterminate the Jews.
Yeah, Halloween is pretty analagous to that. Good call.
As someone else said, these gaffes would ordinarily get a lot of play but we've apparently got a Crazy Negro on our hands so there are other priorities for the media right now.
