("People are dead because of what this son of a bitch said.")

Not true! Not even close to "true."

People are dead because they were stupid...stupid enough to believe what that son-of-a-bitch wrote.

Nice one. Theory is, however, that the drought and war in parts of Africa are due to its theft and detainment there, donchaknow.

This may be one case where the reporter WILL reveal his source...i.e.....the "government official" who fed NewsWeasel the initial info and then backed off.

A little payback, maybe? I'll bet we find out who it was.

I heard that!

This reminds me of a shooting range at one hundred yards, where the targets pop up and drop down faster that you can squeeze off a well aimed shot.

We have to get faster at aiming and shooting. ;)

Michael "Red-Diapered Doper Baby" Isikoff: "The enemy of my country is my friend."

Ha! but know that Mike and his ilk do not consider themselves "white" as in the white Christian European descendants like you and I but part of an exempt group of Caucasians who now like to sit in judgment of many of us.

I can think of no more successful group of discoverers, scientists,etc. than the white European race yet somehow we have a group of alien like anthropologists whose mission it is to SUBVERT this history.

I see Mark Whittaker stepping down or being terminated for this one. After memogate, The media has become very self-consicious when it comes to errors in its' own press room.

True.

And, what is worse, our law firms and courts are dominated by them, they are massively over-represented in our local, state and feral gummints, the self-annointing, self-appointing and self-perpetuating bastard offspring of the Communist Party of America/Alger Hiss et al State Department Brahmanas and its carefully cloned-for-its-cluelessness Foreign[er] Service-[ing] is comprised of them -- as are the similarly-descended ACLU, ABA AARP, NEA, Trial Lawyers etceteras.

And we believe we have foreign enemies to worry about!

We should be so lucky.

"Really...if tossing a Koran into the toilet can get fanatical Muslims to kill other fanatical Muslims then let's have a huge book burning!!"

The first idea was wrong. They last longer if stood upright in urinals.

I guess I'm not a right thinking american then. I look at it this way.

This Cult of goatherders flew 4 planes into differing structures in these United States killing thousands of innocent civilians.

Their supporters in their home countries then danced in the streets over the death and carnage.

Flush it down the toilet?

Nah

Bury it in pig fat and then use the pit as an open latrine.

I am often guilty of INTENTIONALLY inciting irrational people. I like to let their actions expose them for what they are.

I will add this: "I was talking to a couple of family members at lunch and my position on this has matured since I have mulled it over for a day or so. And it now sits as follows:

Before, this played out, I could not have imagined that even the muslims were so far removed from rational thought that they would react so violently to a simple rumour from a single man, no matter what the rumour was about.

That said, I no longer blame newsweek, although I am no lover of this publication, to put it mildly. I put FULL responsibility on the heads of those who rioted and the belief system to which they adhere.

Islam just exposed itself further this week. Even "moderate" Islam.

And for the whole world to see.

This is an outstanding thought. That would be so confirming to all the faithful.
