Because right wingers celebrate subjugating "lesser people" under the jackboot of oppression for the sake of "spreading democracy." See Israel, the US, Iraq 2003, etc.
The government and bank workers needed a three day holiday in October and the only other option was Halloween which did not appeal to the Christians.
Personally, I do not celebrate Columbus Day (even though I am 1/2 Italian) because I think what happened to the Native Peoples when this continent was "discovered" and populated by Europeans is an abomination.
Samhain, on the other hand, is celebrated in my house.
Happy Halloween y'all.
