And yet more crazy. (Please read)

[fightingquaker13]

Look folks, we have debated Islam. We have debated our response to Jihad. We have debated Christianity vs Islam, the First Amendment and property rights. What we haven't debated is this. The power of the internet and the sheep like tendency of the media. Think about it. A 50 member yahoo store front church puts up a web page announcing "Burn a Koran Day". Its picked up. Days later, the generals on the front lines, Sec. State, Sec. Def., ambassadors from allied nations, crowds of protestors from countries most Americans couldn't find on a map at gun point, Sarah Palin, Glenn beck, Evangelical ministries, Franklin Graham, Interpol, the President and the Pope are all directly addressing this guy. HE LEADS A STORE FRONT CHURCH WITH FIFTY FREAKING PARISHONERS!!!!!!!!!! WTF???
How does a clown like this set the international agenda? At this point I don't care a fig about the merits. What I'm asking about is the how. How the hell did this happen? Please click the ABC link to get a sense of seriously folks are taking this..  Apparently, he won't burn Korans if the Ground Zero Mosque isn't built. True or not, its a testament to what a crazy SOB and a computer can do. Again, we've beaten the muslims vs America thing to death. Lets please, for sanity's sake, debate for a bit how this happened. Since when did one idiot get to control the world's news cycle, and how do we make it work for us? What are the future consequences? Etc., etc...... This is a big moment and one that is, in my opinion worth examining by thoughtful folks, such as the ones on this board.

Pretty cool huh ?

If they were burining bibles you'd never have heard about it. Any more I think of the news like I used to think of the weather man. It's just a bunch of freakin' noise and conjecture.

The muslims say that they don't want their Holy Book burnt  (and that the shit will hit the fan if it is).

How about they prevent the burning by handing over a few hundred RPGs to the US Army and Obama makes the call to the loony in Florida and he doesn't burn it?

There! - everybody's happy right?

Next week I'll buy a Kuran - we should have these buggers unarmed within the year!

Tolerance ?
FQ, you are flat out stupid to be ranting against this guy.
The SCOTUS has ruled that burning the US flag is OK, protected by the 1st A guarantee of freedom of expression.
(Freedom of expression is NOT in the Constitution, which specifies freedom of speach and press. Freedom of Expression is from the UN Human rights declaration )
But let some asshat even think about burning a koran and every media whore and liberal dipshit in the country has to weigh in on how awful this is.
These people deserve Obummer.

Palin and Beck may be dipshits. Hardly liberal though. Its not about tolerance, its about not helping the Taliban recruit.

It's about being a bunch of touchy feely sissies, any one they recruit today we can kill tomorrow.
War is harsh, this nation of metrosexuals needs to face reality.
The only practical answer to radical Islam is to keep killing those camel humpers until they become an endangered species,
kind of like Cartheginians.

I think I'll commemorate 9/11 by throwin' a pig on the barby spit, dip some ammo in the hot drippin' grease, and throw a Koran on the charcoal just to watch the grease drip on it. Maybe I'll shoot a youtube of it and invite them ragheads to come have a go! LMAO!

Got to give that Pastor credit, though. At LEAST he grew a set!  (but lost them as soon as he got his 15mins.)

[Solus]

Back to the original point of this thread.......the political power of the internet.

Why do you think the current administration is working on getting a kill switch?

[McGyver]

That, Mr. Solus, would be the obvious "to keep us right-wing, gun crazy extremist peons under his control!".
