As the media were blanketing airwaves and newspapers with nonstop coverage of old controversial religion-related remarks by Rick Santorum, something happened that compelled the media to also raise questions about a far more controversial remark that President Obama had made regarding religion.
Did you miss the widespread news coverage these past days in which that really odd comment that Obama made about religion came back to embarrass him and embroil him in great controversy?
Yes, you missed it -- such coverage never occurred. It should have -- and the fact that it didn't tells yet another distressing story about the double-standard of media bias.
That Rick Santorum once told a Catholic college audience that Satan was targeting America, and that he has also said that what John F. Kennedy said about the separation of church and state made him feel like throwing up is -- no question about it -- controversial and something about which he should be questioned and about which it is perfectly legitimate for the news media to ask both supporters and opponents.
The media advanced this story with great zeal. And the consequence of their sharp focus was that many Americans saw Rick Santorum as sort of weird.
To those who maintain that media focus on Santorum's Satan and throwing-up over JFK remarks was a bit excessive, expect this rebuttal: well, the media just loves controversy, so if you say something that is controversial, expect it to be a major news story. Half-true. Clearly the media is for stirring up as much controversy as it can when it could hurt a conservative. But any controversy that has the potential to hurt a liberal, especially Barack Obama, has nowhere near that kind of appeal for them.

Barack Obama had said about Islam:
“Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance.”
Obama said this in his June 2009 Cairo speech that the media praised to the high heavens — literally. Remember how Newsweek editor Evan Thomas gushed: “Obama’s standing above the country, above-above the world, he’s sort of God...he’s the teacher”?
Obama is right. Islam has indeed demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance -- which is to say, there are none under Islam.
“Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance.”
When words disagree with action, believe action.
Really? Why is it controversial?
Perhaps...because it's true?

Oh, bi%$ me!!
Simply lies from the father of lies
It all depends on what “tolerance” means. For the Left it means oppressing, enslaving and murdering the enemy - Christians, Homeland inSecurity’s domestic terrorist enemies - American-Americans, and Jews.
