Will the mass burning of the Quran on the anniversary of 9/11 undermine our effort in Afghanistan and jeopardize the safety of coalition troopers and civilians?
If Patraeus said the anti-war movement was endangering the efforts of service personnel abroad, should we heed that?
Actually, I'm thankful for the jackasses at this Florida church, their obnoxious hate and the force with which they shove it into the faces of the hypocrites who employ hate to raise their poll numbers. These guys are the **True Believers** and I would urge all those who would use hate as a wedge issue to stand next to these folks for a group hug and photo op while books burn. Go ahead, Republicans: Rub on the stink!
Yeah but, 36, this is not photo op stunt. I saw one of these younger nut jobs interviewed and he talked of how he had to start wearing a gun due to the death threats.
These are whacked out fundamentalist extremists who, because of viral video and the net and the 24 hour media, can cause great harm to our cause, our troops and our image. There is little separation between them and radical Islamists--except these so-called Christians are more cowardly.
This whack job asserted that the only people who would have trouble with this are the extremists Muslims.
They are all about ego and about as far from God as one can get. .
Agreed, Anon. But this is very much what the First Amendment was designed to protect--their right to assemble and to babble objectionable things about their religion. It's got it all, baby!
I don't like what these folks have to say, but in their own way they're shining a spotlight on an ugliness our tanned, slick and smooth members of Congress are trying to pretty up for an engagement with the public. "What we're saying is not hate-speech... oops, on second thought, maybe it is!"
It's hard to put lipstick on a raging, wild boar.
Maybe in their own way these nutjobs will wake up the rest of the country to just how ugly America has become.
"Who could have predicted that an orchestrated campaign anti-Muslim hate speech on the part of many of the country's most prominent politicians and the country's biggest news network could have led to this unfortunate situation in Florida?"
