Buring the Koran IS a form of excercising religious freedom by private citizens. How is a private citizen burning a Koran equivalent to prohibiting religious freedom? I got a clue for you: IT ISN'T.

If Palin had said that she objected to burning the Koran because "it violates a founding principle of our republic," you bet I'd object. But she didn't utter that absurdity -- Romney did.

They are both saying the same thing.

"Our nation was founded in part by those fleeing religious persecution. Freedom of religion is integral to our charters of liberty. We don’t need to agree with each other on theological matters, but tolerating each other without unnecessarily provoking strife is how we ensure a civil society. In this as in all things, we should remember the Golden Rule. Isn’t that what the Ground Zero mosque debate has been about?" -- Sarah Palin

"Burning the Quran is wrong on every level,” the former Massachusetts governor said in a statement to POLITICO. “It puts troops in danger, and it violates a founding principle of our republic." -- Mitt Romney

But; before poking the zoo's gorilla with a stick, make sure the door is latched securely.
