CNN is a reliable Democratic Party outlet, so it is no surprise that it puts the worst face on Americans' indignation over the Ground Zero Mosque.
NewsBusters caught CNN in this justaposition, comparing today's anti-GZM protesters to pro-Nazi activists of decades past:
How's that for subtlety? In case you missed the point, CNN adds this photo, and others to the same effect:

This will backfire on these bastards, a lot of people know what Islam means and it is our job to educate the rest.
“Wonder what tomorrow’s KEYWORD will be?”
It is thoughtcrime for you to speculate, prole!/s;)
CNN supports religious fundamentalism.
Don’t worry. The ACLU will protect our rights.
Where are they? The state dept. places this radical Imam on U.S. government payroll but no protests from the ACLU.
If that is true maybe CNN should recuse itself...
Very interesting, the Aspen Institute is behind the blame America museum at ground zero. New Yorkers are steamed at the whole idea behind this museum which has nothing to do with the deaths of 3000 people and instead is being presented as a "we had it coming to us" ehxibit. 1 posted on 07/16/2005 1:02:54 AM PDT by John Lenin *******
Yesterday, Aspen Institute president Walter Isaacson, late of CNN and Time, called me to insist that his center is "scrupulously non-partisan." And pro-American. Whenever someone feels the need to throw that line in, you know you're in BIG trouble. 4 posted on 07/16/2005 3:44:32 AM PDT by BallyBill | To 1

John S. Bennett
“Co-founder of the Cordoba Initiative [see IMAM FEISAL RAUF, GROUND ZERO MOSQUE]. He is also Senior Program Advisor to the Garrison Institute, an institution dedicated to applying the wisdom of contemplative traditions to issues of civil society.
“Between 1991 and 1999, Mr. Bennett served four terms as mayor of Aspen, Colorado. In this role he worked to build affordable housing, control suburban sprawl, preserve the environment, support the arts & humanities, and create an innovative transportation system offering alternatives to the single occupant automobile. In doing so, he presided over a $40 million budget, which produced a surplus in every year of his administration.
“From 1999 to 2001, Mr. Bennett was Vice President of the Aspen Institute. In that role, he instigated a number of groundbreaking initiatives, including the 50th Anniversary Symposium, which convened a diverse group of Nobel Prize winners, heads of state, and other world leaders from the fields of business, religion, art and academia to discuss globalization and its effects on humanity....----From SourceWatch

What a bunch of fools.
I have always suspected that JournoList or other similar groups coordinate the talking points in issues the MSM.
I still want to know WHO provides those talking points. The DNC, White House, Congressional Black Caucus, etc. Their has to be some form of coordination among the different groups involved to make sure they are PC among the many groups.
CNN... the network that failed to mention the horrors going on in Iraq- even when one of their own workers was grabbed by the regime and tortured- because they were afraid to lose their access.

CNN’s Robertson Now Admits: Hezbollah ‘Had Control’ of His Anti-Israel Piece

The last time I watched CNN was at the airport. I don’t know of anyone who watches it at home.
Even as recent as this past winter/spring my school had a bunch of flat screen TV’s in public places, lounges, etc. Most of the time they were either on ESPN or FNC. I’m not sure how many people watched it but no lefty college students ever ran up to change the channel.
Myself and a few others did a experiment once. One lounge had two TV’s in about equally trafficked places. We put one on FNC and one on CNN, got somethign to eat and watched. More often than not people spent more time looking at FNC. Someone changed the CNN TV to ESPN. By the end of the day they were both still on FNC and ESPN.
And they wonder why no-one watches CNN.

Let them continue.
All these people are doing is pissing off middle America big time.
People that tend to let things slide are being pushed past their limits.
There’s going to be hell to pay.
Incredible.
This what the MSM would do to mainstream Americans..if they could. They can’t...so they intend to enable those who might...
You're right. Let somebody else do the dirty work, sit back and manipulate the situation.
The MSM doesn't want us to see these things. Such images get in the way of the “religion of peace” lie. That's why they stopped showing footage of 9/11 right away. They said it was so Americans wouldn't get too “upset” and “depressed”. Of course that never stopped their 24/7 gloom and doom before.
I think we all remember the liberal media smugly saying that we had “lost” the war in Iraq and falling all over themselves to get footage of soldier's coffins. I won't even go in to the never-ending media sob-fest for Katrina victims (mentioned only if you were a victim from New Orleans). I'm sure we all remember THAT only too well.
The video is very graphic of course, but the media could pixelate it and show it if they wanted to. The MSM go out of their way to paint Muslims in a sympathetic light and routinely ignore atrocities such as those portrayed at the link . If a terrorist bomb goes off in Israel, killing and maiming civilians, the MSM goes out of their way to make excuses for the Muslim terrorists.
The film you linked is a prime example of Sharia law and shows vividly the horror of death by stoning. This same set of Barbaric laws are progressing steadily in Europe and trying to find a foothold here in the US.
We must pull our collective heads out of the sand and stop this PC madness. There is nothing “peaceful” about this so-called religion. It will be us or them and the showdown seems to be approaching at an accelerated rate. (Jim's W)
They tried this demagoguery during the AZ debate.
How’d that work out?
This is so true. Even with Communism, you had the knowledge that you were dealing with people who employed REASON in their arguments.
Muslims do not come from a system that uses reason. Everything is belief, and if you don't believe what they believe, you are an infidel and can be lied to, and even killed, without any compunction. There is no reasoning with that mindset.
