“No comparison.
The US State Dept HATES America.
Crowley must resign or be fired.”
“Crowley was commenting on plans by the fifty-member Dove World Outreach Center in Gainseville, Florida”
What is this person thinking? The more they raise a fuss the worse they make the situation. If the administration thinks this is such a bad thing, then they should ignore it and stop giving it press. This is a FIFTY member group. This isn’t exactly high profile. The administration and General Petraus had given this group status by acknowledging them. And a ridiculous comparison between burning books verses killing innocent people is over the top.
I think it foolish to burn Korans...it doesn’t make you look that smart. However, if the administration trys to stop them...they are just as wrong themselves. There is just way too much wrong thinking going around here.
and from Hillary’s speech today.
We sit down together for this meal on a day when the news is carrying reports that a pastor down in Gainesville, Florida plans to burn the Holy Qu’ran on September 11th. I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths, from evangelical Christians to Jewish rabbis, as well as secular U.S. leaders and opinion-makers. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. Many of you know that in 1790, George Washington wrote to a synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, that this country will give “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”
It's obvious he's throwing November on purpose.
Another clinging to our guns and bibles, suing Arizona, stupid cops arresting gates moment. Bambi will be 60% strongly disapproving before we know it.

True, except for the 3,000 dead people.
Funny but I would bet their were more then a few Koran inside the WTC that burned on 9/11 along with Bibles, Torah, and 3000+ people
I probably won’t but a part of me wants to go to Borders, buy a Koran, and burn it in my chiminea on my deck this Saturday. I’m really getting tired of this cr*p.
Doing this could be considered your constitutional expression of free speech, religion, and association. I could think of no other cult that deserves no respect more than Islam.
My suggestion is not to burn them, but to smoke them thoroughly over a good old-fashioned pork spare rib barbecue.
Then, mail them out to worthy recipients all over the muslim world.
Has the state dept. ever came out against flag burning saying that it was unamerican?
What about Burning the American Flag? The Holy Bible?
Are these people nuts?
Too many idiots in the State Department.
Why is P.J. Crowley such a fag?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!
Yeah, bonehead, exactly the same as 9/11.
Well, except for the complete destruction of the WTC and 3000 innocent dead people, yeah, I can see the analogy.

Hyperbole much?
I have stated before that we shouldn’t do this, simply to keep from increasing the pressure on our troops.
But this is pure BullCrap. Same as 9/11? What a flipping moronic idiot. I cannot believe it, and this is from someone who pays attention to the BS they come out with on a daily basis.
Good God. This is appalling.
Obama and his minions are giving aid and comfort to the enemy which have threatened this minister with death.
BS, is nothing even close to the same. It’s a BOOK! Not human lives. Why can’t fools in America see that?
And why can’t they use this to point out, we protest in ways that may be provocative, but we do not kill people when we are insulted. And Christians have been repeatedly insulted. We do not kill people over it. Not so for Islam.
