AP starts Crusade for political correctness.

Well thats unexpected! Whats the new name of the Mosque?

[Da Coyote]

Ah, the MSM provides the ground upon which the t*rd rests.

[DManA]

Coerce if you do that an article on it becomes innocent muslims against inexplicably belligerent others.

[BenLurkin]

"Ground Zero Victory mosque."

[Frantzie]

The spin started last night. The AP, Time, even Saudia Fox, Wash Post, NY Times, Yahoo, you name it.

“LOL! These idiots think he is a muslim - stupid crackers.”

Total propaganda.

AP starts Crusade for political correctness.

The AP stylebook specifically forbids the use of the word "Crusade", except when used in a disparaging sense or to refer to certain unfortune events during the Middle Ages. The preferred term is "jihad", which has a pleasing and positive connotation.

Demand: stop calling it the “Ground Zero Mosque”

when satire becomes reality- it’s AP

[truthandlife]

Then we will call it the Ground Zero Mosque or the 9/11 Victory Mosque.

This is so much fun to see the rats being exposed by the light including the media that will be going down with the sinking ship.

Ground Zero mosque: down the memory hole.

As Winston Smith would have been notified at his desk in 1984: "ap 18.8.10 ground zero mosque doubleplusungood unterm rectify" and every reference to the Ground Zero Mosque gets changed in all articles to something like "South Manhattan Islamic Center". Then they sue anyone posting the original versions instead of linking to the constantly updated version.
